ARICULAR MEDICINE
AND SUICIDE
Nader Soliman, MD
ABSTRACT
An
I I -year-old girl presented with suicidal tendencies and behavior problems
noted since she was 4-years-old. She had received many allopathic medications
with no improvement. A holistic treatment resolved her symptoms. Auricular
medicine determined the organ and cause of pathology.
KEY WORDS
Bipolar
Disease, Schizophrenia, Auricular Medicine, Vascular Autonomic Signal,
Nogier
INTRODUCTION
The
mother of an I I -year-old girl noted that since the age of 4 years,
her daughter's behavior had appeared odd. She displayed tendencies to
eat unusual materials, including mud. At an older age, many attempts
of suicide were noted. She was finally hospitalized for attempting to
slash her wrist. She was diagnosed as having a bipolar disorder and
schizophrenia. The patient began treatment with several allopathic medications;
most of them resulted in undesirable adverse effects and none helped
her symptoms. At the time of her visit, she was taking Neurentin, but
no good results were noted. A learning disability had been diagnosed
at 9-years-old.
Suicidal
tendencies were a strong presentation in this child; she also confessed
to dreaming about death and dying. She said that she heard voices coming
from inside her head, urging her to kill herself.
CASE REPORT
Auricular
Medicine was considered to diagnose the patient. Using the filtering
method, the cerebral cortex was identified as the site of pathology.
Further filtering techniques suggested that lead precipitation in the
cortical tissue might be the causative factor.
Acupuncture
treatment was excluded for economic reasons. The case appeared chronic
in nature and a lead blood level test was not sought. A homeopathic
treatment, Exchern (Apex Energetics, California), a lead-containing
drainage compound, was given to the child. Six weeks later, her mother
reported that all allopathic medications had been discontinued 2 weeks
into the treatment. Upon questioning the patient, she related the disappearance
of both suicidal thoughts and dreams about death. She indicated still
hearing "voices" but with a lesser frequency, no longer urging her to
kill herself.
Three
months later, all symptoms had disappeared. A marked improvement in
school performance and behavior were noted. Auricular Medicine at this
time suggested the absence of any lead in the brain tissues.
The
child was again seen 6 months later with no recurrence of her original
symptoms. She appeared happy and extroverted. She said to me before
leaving, "Thank you. I am enjoying my life now." Interestingly, her
mother reported the possibility that her daughter may have been exposed
to lead while living above a garage for the first 6 years of her life.
She noted smelling fumes often. (Leaded gasoline was still in use I
I years ago.)
DISCUSSION
Dr
Paul Nogier introduced to the world an exciting new microsystem that
he termed "auricular therapy."1
With further pursuit
of perfection, he introduced yet another more sophisticated system,
"auricular medicine." This was made possible by the discovery of the
Vascular Autonomic Signal (VAS).
Under normal, healthy, non-stressful conditions,
the electromagnetic field (EMF), or the "aura" of the ear, extends laterally
to a maximum distance of I cm measured from the external surface of
the ear. An EMF extending more than I cm is indicative of energetic
stress. As a microsystem, the ear represents all the organs of the body;
consequently, any energetic disturbance of any organ could be projected
as a stressed EMF of the ear. However, this does not specify which of
the organs is responsible for the stress.
Dr Nogier, through his discovery of the VAS,
was able to pinpoint the exact organ responsible for such change of
the EMF position. The VAS is a transient change of the radial pulse
qualities that could be perceived by palpating the radial artery at
a specific point at the distal forearm area. A positive VAS finding
means a stronger and fuller pulsation.
Dr Nogier also introduced the use of filters
for the diagnosis of energetic imbalances. By applying plastic containers
holding different actual diseased organs to the skin of the arm, a definitive
change in the ear's EMF will indicate the intolerance of the body to
that particular tissue. This reaction happens only if the patient has
an energetic imbalance in an organ identical to the one tested. The
name given to these plastic containers is filters.
In this case, applying a filter containing
diseased cortical tissue to the arm of the patient will "filter" out
all information perceived by the skin, except for those of the cortical
tissues (hence, the term, filter). If the patient has a problem
affecting the cortical tissues, as was the case in this patient, the
body will respond by showing stress, reflected on the ear. As a result,
the ear's EMF boundary will move away from it.
Dr Nogier found that by applying an organ filter
on the arm and then approaching the ear with a filter of 3 different
Kodak colors (red 25, green 58, blue 44A), which resonate with the 3
phases of the ear, this in turn resonates with the 3 stages of any disease,
namely acute (phase 1), chronic (phase 2), and subacute (phase 3). By
palpating the radial artery pulse at the same time, a positive VAS will
be felt as the tricolor filter hits the edge of the ear's EME This will
allow determination of whether the EMF moved out (indicating stress),
or was not affected by (indicating no stress) that particular organ
filter.
After the affected tissue is determined, other
filters of possible causal agents can be added 1-by-1 to see which of
them is responsible for the patient's ailment. Again, this is a "filtering
method." By applying a filter containing a virus collection, one can
determine if the problem with the cortical tissues is due to a virus
infection. In this particular case, such a mix of filters did not stress
the ear's EMF, indicating the wrong match.
This process could be repeated using filters
of bacteria or other organisms. In this case, nothing matched. It was
not until a filter of lead was added that the EMF was stressed again,
indicating that the lead was responsible for the cortical pathology.
When a third filter was added containing the proposed homeopathic remedy,
the stress of the EMF disappeared, which suggested that this particular
remedy might have the ability to correct the patient's ailment.
In this case, the patient reacted adversely
to a filter of the cerebral cortex, suggesting the site of the problem.
Later, when other filters were paired with the cerebral cortex filter,
it was the lead filter that promoted conjoint distress. This suggested
the underlying cause of the stressed cortical tissues.
CONCLUSION
Auricular
Medicine offers a very sophisticated system for both treatment and diagnosis
as illustrated in this case report. Auricular Medicine requires adequate
knowledge to feel the VAS changes, and appreciate the changes in the
EMF of the ear.
