----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Science Changed Its Mind About Reflexology, November, 2012 1.

. Both the American Medical Association and the National Cancer Institute have changed their mind about Reflexology. Its an ancient form of foot-hand-ear manipulation (massage) that is moving from Fringe-care to Standard (mainstream) cancer treatment. 2. The important difference between religious thinking and scientific analysis is that Science likes the NEWEST research (done in 2012 is better than research in 1999). 3. Religious thinking respects and advocates ancient methodologies. Example: Reflexology (manipulating the feet, hands, and ears, dates back to Egypt, in 2450 BCE (4,500 years). U.S. scientists have laughed at Reflexology as a medical treatment, until this recent (November, 2012) research. 4. Physicians in ancient Greece used foot-hand-ear massage as standard medical procedure. The AMA & Cancer researchers never accepted this ancient medical treatment. 5. Reflexology was named by a practicing nurse named Eunice D. Ingram in 1936. The system was created by a medical doctor called William A. Fitzgerald in the U.S. in 1913.

 6. A therapist uses his thumbs, fingers, and hands to activate, release, and balance the human energy-field, known as Chee or Qi. In India, Life-force is called Prana, in Hebrew, its called Ruach (Spirit). 7. In November, 2012, scientific researchers at Michigan State University, reported in the Journal, Oncology Nursing, that Reflexology has serious benefits for Cancer patients. Lead-Author: Professor Gwen Wyatt, Michigan State University. 8. Reflexology is from the same tradition of Acupuncture and Acupressure. Research indicates Reflexology works from the INSIDE-OUT, to stimulate the Nervous System, and release chronic-stress. 9. Theory: stimulation (massage) of specific points of the feethands-ears, improves the functioning of corresponding organs, glands, and circulation of the mind-body-connection. 10. Reflexology patients with advanced states of cancer have indicated up to a 35% improvement in the symptom of shortness of breath. After treatment, they have the ability to climb stairs, dress themselves, and go marketing. 11. Researchers expected Psychological improvements, like reduction in anxiety and depression. What they found was NOT emotional change, but primarily Physical improvements.

 Cancer patients reported significant improvements in their daily life-style and skills. People who were disabled could function again. Endwords: All beliefs religious, are NOT fundamentally flawed, and useless. Further, scientific researchers are willing to change their mind when the facts produce NEW evidence. Learn from the Past, live in the Present, and Hope for a better Future. See it as, admit when youre wrong, learn from your mistakes, and move-on. In Speedreading101, we learn to use our long unused, Peripheral-Vision, and enlarge our mind-set for physical change. We have the ability to read and remember Three-books, articles, and reports, in-the-time others can hardly finish, even one. We must risk change, and a new mind-set. Same as Reflexology.
