There are maladies that key words can be applied to, that
affirmations will help remove the symptoms of, but certainly not all
can be healed in this way. Affirmations recondition fixed attitudes.
This might not be a bad solution if the sufferer wishes to be
reprogrammed, but it will deny the user of this therapy freedom from
the real cause. We can indoctrinate ourselves to the extent we draw on
the inner reserves of strength to uncover illness, but only until the

Problems occur whereby the pressure of stress effects the
meridians by depositing toxins in a way which exerts pressure on
