Auriculotherapy is a safe treatment that uses micro-current electrical stimulation on the ear to make changes throughout the body. In this episode, you'll learn:
—Why Dr. Prather calls Auriculotherapy "one of the most powerful therapies we do".
—How Auriculotherapy "rewires the central computer (the brain)” using the ear as the keyboard to your brain.
—Why it is called "the most proven therapy in the entire world".
—How Auriculotherapy is especially helpful in chronic pain patients.
—The life-changing story of a fibromyalgia patient who, after years of suffering, eliminated three different pain medications after just one week of treatment.
—Why Auriculotherapy provides amazing changes for patients who have tried everything else, had nothing work, and have no hope.
—The remarkable way that the ear is a perfect representation of the entire body, and how you can affect anything and everything in the body by working on the ear.
—How Auriculotherapy helps with addictions (food, drugs, smoking), anxiety, insomnia, learning disorders, emotional issues, PTSD, and phantom limb pain.
—How children with ADD/ADHD are transformed through this therapy (and without drugs).
—Why Dr. Prather believes Auriculotherapy is one of the major futures of health care in providing natural pain relief instead of dangerous, addictive prescription drugs.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Hi, I'm Lisa Praither and welcome to the Voice of
Health with our hosts doctor Robert Praither of Holistic Integration,
where lives are changed every day through the natural approach
to healthcare. Well, this week we're talking about auricular therapy
and natural pain solutions. This is one, doctor Praither, one
(00:33):
of the most powerful therapies we do, in my eyes,
And would you agree with that also?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
I would. You can have some far reaching effects on people,
and I can make some dramatic changes.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
And I want to spell it for people because most
of our listeners probably haven't heard of a regular therapy.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Most people haven't heard of auricular.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Huh, people that come in our doors.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
And sure, matter of fact, people shouldn't feel bad about
that because a lot of doctors don't know about our
regular therapy.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I'm going to spell it so people know how it's spelled,
because there's a lot of vowels in there. But it's
au r iculo therapy curricular therapy.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Which just means ear therapy.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Okay, Well, what is a regular therapy, doctor pray therapy?
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Well, a regular therapy is where you're using the ear
to make some changes throughout the body. And the basic
area that you're looking at is the brain. Auricular therapy
usually refers to electrical stimulation of the ear. You have
ear acupuncture, where you're using needle. A regular therapy is
a little bit different because you're using microcurrent on the
(01:39):
ear in very specific types of settings to make changes
in the entire body.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Wow. So there are different points on the ears.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
There are literally hundreds of points on the ears.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
So what's the history of a regular therapy.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Well, interestingly, the oldest orric therapy out there was Phoenician
sailors way back when they used to put gold ear
rings in their ears. Oh okay, and they would put
it pirates, Well, pirates used to do too. But interestingly enough,
one of the most important things for sailors to be
(02:19):
able to see far. If you have poor eyesight, then
you're down on the totem pole on being a sailor
because you have to be able to see out into
the horizon. So the Phoenicians discovered the ear point and
then they would put a gold ear ring in there
and improve their vision.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
So was the airpoint for vision?
Speaker 2 (02:39):
It was, yeah, And that's the most traditional point that
you would put it through, and it was actually Phoenician
doctors who would actually put those ear rings in. But
the treatments for the ears and affecting the body is
a very very ancient. It was found in Egypt, it
was found in India, certainly in China five hundred BC
there was the Yellow Empress Book of Medicine, and they
(03:00):
had the ideas of actually using the ear as a
treatment point in many different types of societies. They had
found the ears actually very beneficial. Sort of an old
wives tale is actually rubbing the ear lobe and you
can get a relaxation and a baby and put them
to sleep. That's something that for moms who are trying
to put a baby to sleep at night. It's a
(03:22):
very neat type of trick and it really does work.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Interesting to just rubbing the ear ear lobes. Is it
help adults too?
Speaker 2 (03:29):
It does, So you can actually come up there and
rub the ear lobe and you can put people to sleep.
So a regular therapy using the ear as a treatment
point has been around for thousands of years and has
been found in almost all societies as a way of
making changes in the system. So everyone's kind of discovered it,
but actually getting it down to a science is something
(03:52):
that we're actually doing at this point.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Well, who discovered, who gave it its name.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
And it's a very interesting story on the auricular therapy.
Doctor Nourge a Frenchman in the nineteen fifties is the
one who brought auricular therapy into science and he had
patients coming in because he was a neurologist who had
piatic pain and there was a old healer lady who
(04:20):
would cutterize people's point for sidic pain. There's a certain
point on the ear that actually helps with sciatica and
he had noticed it, found out what she was doing,
did some scientific studies to see if there was actually
changes because he could actually measure brain waves. That was
one of his main things was he helped to map.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
The brain and you study with a neurosurgeon.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
He was a neurosurgeon and so he started to also
work with the points for siatica and saw some significant
relief of pain. So he started to do a lot
of scientific study on the brainwaves the ears and then
map the brain and the ear points and how they
(05:05):
related and was able to come up with a whole
system of a regular therapy electrical stimulation of the ear
along with acupuncture. It was then transferred over to China.
The Chinese looked at it and said that it agreed
with their procedures because he wanted their input, and he
(05:27):
came up and started the whole scientific treatment called a
regular therapy to produce changes in people's health.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Interesting, So, how is a regular therapy different from acupuncture?
Speaker 2 (05:43):
And that's one thing that I have found very definitely
there is a very big difference between the effects of
a regular therapy and acupuncture. Acupuncture is more of a
large scale type of a system. In other words, it
covers the entire body and makes direct changes on the
chemistry of the body. Aurcular therapy is more specific to
(06:06):
the brain. One of the things is when do I
actually think of using a regular therapy as opposed to acupuncture,
and why would I combine the two different ones the
auricular therapy. What we're trying to do along those lines
is to change the perception of the brain on what's
(06:26):
happening into the body. One of the things that we
find is that there are times where we can relieve
the pain that someone has. In other words, there's an
underlying cause for the pain that's actually occurring, and you
can eliminate the underlying cause, and people can still have
pain or disease in different types of areas. Why is that, Well,
(06:52):
one of the things that occurs is you get these
refluxes through the body, and if you've had pain for
a long, long period of time, the pain fibers become
very used to sending that pain information even when the
offending problem is no longer there. So when we actually
look at using a regular therapy is when it's no
(07:14):
longer a problem in the area, but it's actually more
of a problem in the brain. So a regular therapy
we're actually thinking more on balancing out normalizing the electrical
impulses of the brain. Also, the brain actually has a
holographic image of you inside of.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
There sounds like Star Trek.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
It is kind of like a Star Trek type of thing.
There is this image that the body has and the
body might have a false image, and.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Especially if pain for a while, especially if it's.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Pain and disease for a long period of time, it
actually gets used to that and the brain will actually
fight changing that holographic image because it's become used to it.
So what we're doing with the ourcular therapy is really
rewiring the central computer and the ear is the conduit
(08:14):
to the brain. That's what we've found because the science
behind that is we can hit different points on the
ear and we can immediately show changes in the brain patterns.
And it used to be that you had to take
off people's skull to actually measure that.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
We don't do that.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
We don't do that. Now they actually have MRI imaging
that they can do that will actually show the changes
immediately in the brain and you can see exactly what's
happening with the iregular therapy. As matter of fact, our
regular therapy is the most proven therapy in the entire world. Wow,
(08:53):
because you can get direct correlation between the stimulation of
the ear points and the changes within the brain weighs activity.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
How long have you been working with a regular therapy.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
I actually got a regular therapy unit about twenty five
years ago, So it has been something that we've used
on a long term type of basis and extremely helpful,
especially with our chronic patients.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
So it's not a new therapy, it's just getting some
publicity now.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
It's becoming yes, more accepted. One of the things that
is occurring is we're actually getting a better idea, and
there is better analysis of exactly what's going on, so
it's becoming much more easy to prove and then actually
to find the effects of it immediately.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Well, how is a regular therapy involved with structure function medicine.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Well, the idea behind structure function medicine is to balance
out the different portions of the body, and there are
many different ways that we actually approach that. That's why
we have the chiropractic, we have the acupuncture, we have massage,
we have the physical therapy, we have the whole nutritional
portion of the homeopathy. We're looking at different areas of
(10:07):
the body and how to actually balance it out. What
we're trying to do with aurricular therapy is to balance
out the brain, and the brain function a very very
important part because of course that tells the rest of
the body what to do. You don't have the brain balanced,
you're not going to have the proper effects and the
proper health in the rest of the body.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Okay, all right, Well more on our regular therapy when
we come back. Does your group or organization need a

(10:53):
The Voice of Health Wellness tip featuring rapid release technology
Dutch Brather. What condition does the rapid release technology work on?
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Carpal tunnel, shoulder issues where you'd have restrictions, even like
shoulder rotator, cuffy, problems with the pains in the elbow,
either golfer's elbow, tennis elbow all help out tremendously.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Neck pain, low back pain.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Headaches, extremely excellent for headaches, siatica, performance syndromes, scoliosis, even.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Yeah, and we've used it on TMJ evenj we had
that big mass that or muscle that we need to release.
Neat conditions plantar faesciitis.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
To Patron's contraction.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Yeah. Rappid release has five heads on it, so you
can use specifically. The smaller heads would be for someone.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
You know, for smaller areas, for the hand type of
problems along those lines, any type of scar tissue post
surgical trying to get that back to where it needs
to be. Basically almost every type of muscular skeletal condition
out there. It's very versatile, amazingly effective, and one of
the greatest things is safety. In other words, with the
rapid release, you're not going to make something.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Worse, right, and it's not painful. We've had quite a
few patients by them for themselves.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Oh yes, yeah, We've had several people who came into
our office and said that was the only thing that
really helped them, you know, of everything that they had
tried before, the dramatic changes along those lines.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Yeah, And someone will say, well, I have this thumper,
a big massager at home. It's not the same thing, right,
not the same technology.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
No, it's not even trying to accomplish the same thing.

Natural Solutions for Pain, arthritis and Inflammation Wednesday, September twenty
fourth at six thirty pm. You'll hear from doctor Robert Prather,
host of the Voice of Health Radio.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
A lot of people are experiencing pain and trying to
find relief. Now, with the medical model, what you're doing
is trying to take the symptom of the pain and
not getting to the cause. So what we do is
actually try to fix the cause of the pain. The
nerve blocks, opiods, all the nonsho aine ti inflammatory drugs,
(13:45):
all those types of things are to basically mask the pain,
not really solve the problem. So what we're doing is
trying to get in there, find out what is the
underlying cause. And we can always reproduce the pain. People
always appreciate me reproducing point and then after the treatment
we can go back and read check it and it's clear,
(14:06):
and then you know, knowing what to do to really
get that fixed is the most important thing. There's just
a lot of physiological things that happen to the body
when you're in pain. You know, your pH your chemistry,
your energy goes low. And so to be able to heal,
To get the healing that I want to see and people,
I have to get them out of pain and get
(14:28):
them out of pain very quickly. Matter of fact, we're
usually looking at a two week window to get people
out of pain. Otherwise I reevaluate because we're not doing
something quite right. So pain's an enemy when it wears
you down, but it's a friend to tell you that
there's something wrong and not to ignore it. And a
lot of people give up as far as on their pain,
(14:49):
you know, it's something like people who have chronic headaches.
Eighty percent just give up, and we're pretty much one
hundred percent successful on them. It's a matter of knowing
what to do, how to get the body balanced.

I'm Boo. You're listening to the Voice of Health with
doctor Robert Preither of Holistic Integration, the most comprehensive wellness
center in the Midwest. This week, we're talking about auricular
(15:50):
therapy and natural pain solutions. Another name for it, doctor Praither,
would be ear.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Yeah, it would be uh ear therapy.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Ear therapy. Okay, you're talking about the history about it,
and it's been wrong for a long time.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
It's been something that's been involved in healthcare and ancient
civilizations forever.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
We talked about its involvement with structure function medicine. Is
a regular therapy something that's accepted by conventional medicine.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
It's slowly becoming accepted. The official National Institute of Health
has recognized that a regular therapy is something that could
be extremely beneficial, that there is definitely science behind it.
They're not quite sure what to make of it and
how that applies. But of course we're talking about a
whole different type of a thought pattern than what is
(16:41):
normal and conventional medicine. Conventional medicine is considered disease care.
Disease care is a set of symptoms and what you
do is you find things. If you have an inflammation,
then you have an anti inflammatory. If you have a pain,
then you've take an anti pain medicine, and that is
symptom based type of care. Whereas we're talking about structure
(17:05):
function and it is a totally different type of a
approach to healthcare. We are looking at balancing out and
normalizing everyday function of the body and a regular therapy again,
as I said, is a means of balancing out the
brain function, normalizing the holographic image of the body and
(17:30):
how it interrelates with each other. So it's a very
important part of a system along those lines, it's not
always a one on one correlation. That's what is frustrating
for conventional medical disease care, the way that they think
it only works if there is an imbalance in the
(17:52):
brain function. It's not like you can have sciatica and
you can automatically go up to the ear and get
relief for the siotic pain. It has to be caused
by an imbalance in the brain, not an actual pinch
nerve down in the low back. Okay, if you have
a pinch nerve down on the low back, you go
in there and relieve the pinching, you get the inflammation down.
(18:15):
You do those types of things to actually get it
to change. It only works if it's caused by an
brain imbalance. So you need to be able to analyze
it and see when it is necessary and what is not.
That's where the clinical experience of the doctor, the ability
(18:37):
to analyze and see what's going on with the system,
and then you can get the changes that are necessary.
One of the things that we are doing now is
we have different means of testing to see if there
is an imbalance in the autonomic nervous system.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Okay, and what's the autonomic nervous system.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
The autonomic nervous system is the portion of the nervous
system that is being on our conscious control. And there
is a balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic system. And
when that balance becomes overwrought into the sympathetic system, then
you have an abnormal imaging of the brain and you
(19:19):
will get some of the effects of the brain actually
causing the pain. Or discomfort or disease that's involved in
that organ.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
System isn't like the sympathetic like you're being chased by
a tiger or fight flight.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Yes, it creates a fight flight. There's a constriction of
blood vessels, there are certain different chemicals that occur, there's
a change in the pH So if that area has
an imbalance in the nervous system, you do not get
the normal type of healing, you don't get the normal
type of cellular chemistry going on. There's a whole host
(19:55):
of changes that can occur because of that. The nervous
system and the underconsystem, or the two systems that control
the whole rest of the body. You have to get
those two things balanced out before you can actually get
to health. So a regular therapy is only effective in
certain types of conditions and in certain types of situations,
(20:16):
and you have to be able to pick those up
before you do the therapy and know that that will
actually make some changes. That's where my clinical experience comes in.
But as the technology increases, it's going to be much
much easier, and then we're going to be able to
see and it will be much more accepted because of
(20:36):
the results that you'll actually be getting out of a
regular therapy will be much more consistent.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Yeah, I know because we do it in our office
a lot through that the beginning passive care, beginning of
treatment and find it very effective. I've even had it
on myself and find it very effective. Oh.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
I have people come out of there and say, oh
my gosh, I feel like I'm going to all asleep
because it's the first time that their nervous system has
been able to be balanced out, and there can be
a huge amount of changes that occurred. I had a
patient who had fibromyalgia, had had it for years and years.
We had been able to get their system balanced out,
(21:18):
but they still had pain. We went to the regular
therapy and after a week of treatment, the patient had
been on three different medications for pain, was able to
eliminate them all. It was a life changer. Yeah. The
interesting thing about a regular therapy is people who said
I've tried everything, nothing works at this point. Those are
(21:41):
usually the people that show up the best for the
irregular therapy.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Why is that because nothing has really treated the brain?
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Because yes, nothing has worked on the imaging of the brain.
There is no other type of treatment pharmaceutical. Nothing along
those lines will treat that imaging of the brain. The
ones that have no hope have been everywhere, tried everything.
That's usually when you find a regular therapy very very
(22:11):
dramatic and you can get some amazing changes.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Well, let's talk about you're talking about systems. So what
is a microsystem? How does that involved with the regular therapy.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
A microsystem, you have a macrosystem like acupuncture, because the
acupuncture points go throughout the entire body. You have chiropractic.
It's a macrosystem type of a carrot because it covers
the entire body. There is a very direct relationship between
the neck pain and the vertebrae of the neck, whereas
with a microsystem, you're talking about a portion of the
(22:45):
body that is in a smaller area but actually can
represent the entire body. Foot reflexology is one that people
are very aware of, and that's a microsystem. In other words,
there are different points on the feet that have a
throughout the entire system. There's actually a hand reflexology, there's
(23:05):
a way of evaluating the tongue. There's eerdology, and then
there's also the ear. Interesting portion about the ear is
that there is an image of an upside down fetus.
That concept was found by doctor Norje as he was
mapping out the body parts and how they represent different
(23:30):
portions of the body. He found that it was identical
to the picture of an upside down fetus.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Well, I'm looking at your ear right now, and I
can see that. So the earlumps the head, yes, yeah, okay.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
And then the spine goes right along the ridge right
up there, and you deal with the brain down in
the ear lobe, you deal with the rest of the system.
You've got the internal organs or inside the ear, and
it's a perfect representation of the human body only in
the fetal state. That makes it much easier. And that
(24:05):
was something that had never been imaged or recognized by
anybody else before doctor Norget and he was drawing out
the body in one of his assistants said that looks
like an upside down fetus, and he says, you're absolutely right,
And that's one of the more accepted types of ways.
And you can get a good picture of working with
(24:28):
the oicular therapy by imagining upside down baby, and then
you can pretty well get to the points just by
looking at it that way.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Interesting yeah, I can't stop staring at your ear.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
I don't know if that's good or not.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
This is amazing the way we were created.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
So, but that would be a microsystem.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Okay, what are remote reflexes?
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Remote reflexes are you're dealing with a gallbladder point up
in the ear, but it's a quite a distance remote. Yes,
it's remote. So you've got that connection that goes from
the ear to every portion of the body, So that
is considered a remote reflux. In other words, you can
(25:15):
affect anything and everything in the body by working on
the ear.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
So what are regular sematic reflexes.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
A regular sematic reflexes are where you can change the
functioning of organ systems by electrically stimulating the ear. So
you can change the amount of bile that's flowing out
of the gall ladder. You can change the functions of
the kidney, you can change the heart rate, you can
(25:45):
change blood pressure. All of those different types of aspects
can be affected by the ear. Even though you sit
there and say, well, how can that be possible? And
understanding the brain, how can you know brain in the
body connection, Because the brain tells everything else what to do,
and the ear is what I would consider the control
(26:07):
panel of the brain.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Oh, there we go. So you have therapy control panel, right.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
It's like a keyboard, and then you have the brain
as a computer. Is that a nice way to that is?
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Okay? And the last before we go on break, what
is somo topic inversionatotopicon.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
There we Goversion is a technical term for the upside
down fees.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Okay, that makes sense that you have.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
To throw in a little scientific.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
It's kind of, you know, make it some more scientific.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Okay, Well, when we come back, we'll talk about the
conditions that are best treated by our regular therapy. Listen

Speaker 2 (28:16):
About eighty percent of everyone's going to have TMJ sometime
in their life, and many times people aren't even aware
that that's where their problem's coming. Right. The neck has
to be fixed to be able to fix the TMJ.
If you don't get the top bone called the atlas fixed,
you'll never be able to fix the TMJ.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
And that's something you do your special have a specialty.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Yeah, but if the alice is out, you're going to
absolutely get nowhere with a TMJ. We've had people with
elbow problems, we've had people with shoulder problems and I
said it's coming from your john. They're like, well, it
doesn't hurt up.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
How if that happen.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Yeah, And so I go up there and adjust their jaw.
I rechecked their shoulder and the elbow, and I said,
does that hurt anymore? And they go no. Oh my gosh,
I've had people working on this for two years and
never gotten this far and you do it in just
like five seconds.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Let's talk about how acupuncture relieves pain.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Basically, it works along the opiate pathways. What they find
is that when you stick acupuncture needles in, the opiate
levels of the body raise up quite significantly. Not only
does it help the opiates to increase naturally in your body,
but it also opens up the receptor sites. They find
an increase in receptor sites. And what's interesting is if
(29:29):
you're talking about the benefits of acupuncture versus actual opiods
that you take in from the outside, Opiods as you
take them in suppress your own body's ability to make
opiods and it also destroys the receptor sites. That's why
opiates should only be used for most two weeks post
surgical pain. End of life where you're not really concerned
(29:52):
about addiction.

I'm Lisa Prather, and you're listening to the Voice of
Health with doctor Robert Prather of Holistic Integration, where we
get to the real cause of your health issue. This
week we're talking about a therapy and natural pain solutions.
Let's talk about what conditions are best treated by our
(32:06):
regular therapy.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Auricular therapy is very effective on anything that is controlled
by the brain, which is everything, but not everything is
actually locked up into the brain. So it's best used
on chronic conditions the longer that it's actually been there.
(32:28):
In other words, if people can't really find out, you know,
what is the cause of this, you know, we really
don't know. So patients come in they have back pain
or sciatica. They've done all the different types of tests
they've gone through all the treatments. Physical therapy didn't work
at all, you know, they tried injections, didn't work. In
(32:50):
other words, everything's kind of a failure. Then oftentimes we
can go to the brain and find the underlying cause.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Okay, but I know you use it in the initial
stages of care in our autit.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Well, it's something that we find is helpful. Actually in
every type of situation. There isn't anything that a regular
therapy can't actually help. One of the nice things about
our regular therapy is that you can't hurt anyone with it,
So it's a very safe type of a treatment, and
anyone who's in pain will get benefit out of a
(33:24):
regular therapy.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Well, I know for me it's helped me with stress
or any anxiety, and I hope that's not a chronic
condition for me. Maybe you think otherwise.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
But that's the other thing. Anything that's mental addictions, anxiety,
sleep disorders, add ADHD, learning disabilities, any type of a
mental condition, very very effective, anything to do with pain.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
I know, I part aricatherapy in addiction centers.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Yes, there are whole country, Yeah, there are whole clinics
based on a regular therapy for addiction. It's amazingly effective.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
And I know what, We've had a lot of success
with that smoking cessation.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Right, We have had about every single addiction has had
an excellent response with smoking cessation. Also with other different
types of addictions too. It's very effective for food addictions,
for drug addictions, because.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Isn't there a point for appetite suppressant.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
There's a point for appetite suppressant. A lot of times, again,
the brain has a picture on what should be going on.
There is a appetite control center that is in your
brain that can be just turned on and people can't
turn it off through different types of problems that they've had.
(34:48):
So emotional types of conditions, people who've been through post
traumatic stress syndrome respond very very well. People with phantom
limp pain, these types of things can respond very well.
A good example that we had is we had a
patient who had pancreatic cancer. Morphine was no longer working.
The oncologists actually referred him to me for acupuncture. So
(35:11):
we were doing acupuncture and auricular therapy on him. We
would see him twice a week and when he had
gone into the oncologist, the ancologist gave me a phone
call and he says, you know, what are you doing?
And I'm saying, well, what do you mean what am
I doing? He says, he's in absolutely no pain and
(35:32):
he's taking no morphine or any painkills at this time.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
So he was completely off of all pain medication. And
this is one of the most painabilitating pain cancer that
you can, yeah, that you can possibly have. So he
was able to go through his entire time with the
pancreatic cancer. He was only given about four weeks left
to live, but he went about five months, which was
(35:58):
much better for he got right The week before he died.
He actually went to Holiday World with his grandchildren. When
he died. He had told his family that he wasn't
feeling that well and they said, well, do you want
to go to the hospital and he says, yeah, I
think I should. They were driving him to the hospital,
(36:19):
he says, I'm just going to take my seat back
and rest a little bit while we're going there, And
on the way to the hospital he passed away asleep,
a much much better scenario than anything that he was
looking at before. So for the pain conditions, as you're
on pain medication, it can be extremely necessary, but it
(36:42):
definitely changes your perception of the world, how you function.
It's not something that gives you the full value of
your life where you can go into using a regular
therapy get the pain relief without any situations where it's
causing mental fusion all the other different types of symptoms
(37:02):
that can go along with the medications.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
Right, and I know you've had some great results with
a regular therapy and its effect on add and ADHD yes.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
Actually about three kids right now who are presently getting
a regular therapy. One was just having an awful time
and after three treatments it was, as the mom said.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
Miraculous having trouble at school.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
Having trouble at school, being threatened to be kicked out.
Teacher says, I wish we had started this earlier, but
a huge difference on the calming, changes the focus. We
had one child who was definitely acting up quite a bit.
Mom brought him in. Dad wasn't really for it, said that,
(37:49):
you know, medicine was the best way to go. She
brought him in, brought him back. After a few hours there,
he said, Okay, what did you do? This is a
different child and there's.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
Not this side of it of the medication.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
Right now, right, it's a balancing of the system, not
the pharmaceutical atomic bond that hits people.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
Well, you want to explain to people what it looks like.
I know they're holding a probe for the you call
it the micro microcurrent. Why would you explain.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
Yeah, it's one of the big things that people ask.
Does it hurt? It definitely doesn't hurt.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
It's very pressure maybe on the ear points, yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
And possibly a little bit of electrical stimulation, but oftentimes
not even that. Yeah, it's a microcurrent, so it's a
very small amount. It's a pressure on different ear points.
The instrument itself will measure the balance of the ear
points and say if it's balanced or not, so that
we know whether to treat that point. Then we basically
(38:47):
treat it for about a minute that particular point until
the balance is out. Then that's about it. On the
feeling that's involved.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
And how many points, it just depends because there's different protocols.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
Correct, It depends on how many Yes, exactly what we're
dealing with, how bad the situation is. As they go along,
then the protocol becomes less and less. It usually takes
a few treatments to completely feel the effects. Though. I've
had people who came in and were smokers. I remember
a couple of cases where we did regular therapy on
(39:20):
the first time and they came back and they said,
I have absolutely no desire to smoke it.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
Yeah. Yeah, I remember when a young man in fact,
he han't been in a year, has been doing great.
Just I think he came in for a massage and
says he hasn't had a desire to pick up a cigarette.
And all his roommates smoke, so it's not that you know,
he's yeah, and definitely addicted. He's been tempted, but he
had six regular therapy sessions sure, and took care of
(39:48):
that smoking addiction. It's exciting. What role does endorphins play
in regular therapy.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
Well, that's one of the things is they've been doing
research is that there's definitely a increase in the endorphins,
which is the body's own ability to decrease pain. It
also encourages pleasure centers. So there is a definite chemical
change that occurs in the body, and the body will
(40:14):
produce a large amount of endorphins, which is actually the
strongest pain reliever that your body can actually accept. So
This is something that's natural. The body knows how to
regulate it so that you don't get too many. It's
an amazing pain relief mechanism that the body's producing on
(40:36):
its own.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
Okay, when we come back, let's talk about the research.
What's going on in the research for a regular therapy.

host of the Voice of Health Radio, the use of.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
Promote chicken cartilage to help with joints. NOx Jelaton was
a medicine for joints. Harvard Medical University actually said, Okay,
you've been really hit by the drug companies and the
FDA for actually promote that and claiming that it helps
with joints. Let's do a study on it. They were
absolutely amazed at how much better it worked than the drugs,
(42:07):
and really it's glucosamine is what they found that really
works quite well. And what it does is it helps
the joint to reproduce, so it actually keeps the cartilage
out and it can even repair our damaged cartilage. So
glucosamine actually kills nonstory Lantie inflammatories working on joints because
it takes down the inflammation. The longer you take it,
(42:27):
the more it works. We pretty much have found the
natural things always work better than the pharmaceutical.
Speaker 1 (42:34):
So we talk about the chiropractic acupuncture, decompression, what therapies
are helpful for the hips.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
We have quite a few. We have ultrasound, we have
electrical stem, we have diathermy that increases the blood flow,
all those different types of modalities. We have rapid release, yes,
which is absolutely wonderful for trigger points. People who get
that done are like, WHOA, this is amazing. We've had
one guy who had leg problems, hip problems. The rapid
(43:04):
release where we were going over it on his leg.
It was just like a miracle for him. He actually
bought one, yeah, because it was just like he was
going to be moving to California. He says, I want
to make sure that I've got that treatment on a
regular basis. One of the most popular treatments. In other words,
about everything that you could do in structure function we do.
People want to get out of low back pain as
(43:26):
quickly as possible. Acupuncture is probably one of the best
things to get someone out of pain. Amazing for pain
because it increases the natural opiods in the body, the
opiated receptors. It relaxes the cortisol. People usually get up
and go, that's amazing, I'm out of pain. How long
is this going to last? Usually on the first one
(43:47):
it lasts about forty eight hours, and then the pain
starts to come back because you haven't made the corrections yet,
so it's great for pain relief. It also speeds up
healing with surgeries. We will do acupuncture around those and
the surgery will heal twice is fast and also you
don't get scars that are associated with that. Even old
scars can actually disappear with acupuncture. So acupuncture helps with
(44:08):
pain and speeds up healing process in the body. It's incredible.

Beautiful scar So you're listening to the Voice of Health
with doctor Robert Prather of Holistic Integration, where our mission
(44:58):
is restoring hope to our page. This week we're talking
about auricular therapy and natural pain solutions and very informative
Dutch pether We're talking about there's a lot of people
and you're saying even doctors haven't heard of a regular therapy.
Speaker 2 (45:16):
Yeah, there's in Indianapolis. Well throughout the world, there's very
few auricular therapists out there. I'm not quite sure of
anyone else who's doing auricular therapy in Indianapolis besides myself.
Speaker 1 (45:28):
Yeah, but now you see the schools are adding in
the holistic schools have it in their curriculum and so
very effective. But let's talk about, you know, the research
into a regular therapy. What's being done now in the research.
Speaker 2 (45:41):
National Institute of Health has quite a bit of research
because addiction especially is a big area of concern. More
and more people are becoming addicted to drugs.
Speaker 1 (45:50):
We're talking about prescription medicine as well as the prescription medicine.
Speaker 2 (45:54):
Right. There's a very big push, i know in Indiana
to cut down on the amount of pain medication that's
going out to patients. There's a large number of patients
that are becoming addicted through no fault of their own.
They would prescribed the medications and then once they become addicted,
it's very difficult to get off. It's a very very
(46:14):
big problem. Something that's acknowledged by everyone at this point.
So what are the alternatives to the olpiates, to the
different types of medications out there. The aregular therapy presents
a great opportunity for a natural way of pain relief.
So pain relief is a very big way of trying
to find out ways of working with that. They're also
(46:37):
doing research on getting off of drugs and the main
research is within the autonomic nervous system. There are new
advances in technology. There are new ways of looking at
something called heart rate variability, and it's an effective means
of seeing what the balance is between the parasympathetic and
(46:59):
sympathetic system. There is an ideal type of balance on
that and when that's off, especially when it's related to
the addictive centers of the brain and also to the
pain centers of the brain. And they are doing the
research on their regular therapy and when they find that
they can balance those out into more of a parasympathetic
(47:21):
the addictive tendencies that people have reduced quite dramatically and
the pain of relief is quite significant.
Speaker 1 (47:28):
Yeah, that autonomic nervous system is just so interesting and
when we can move it and more into the parasympathetic.
You know, the other thing we teach is deep breathing.
A lot of times when the patients are getting their
regular therapy, we want them to work on their deep
breathing during that time.
Speaker 2 (47:48):
Well, it's a very well proven aspect that when you
can do deep breathing that there is a balance shift
towards the parasympathetic in pain levels go down. Yeah, because
the bodies of bilas to make the pain of the
endorphins increase quite dramatically.
Speaker 1 (48:05):
Yeah, And we've started something we'll have to do another
show on that called points Stimulation or piece stem.
Speaker 2 (48:10):
Which is actually an ourgular therapy.
Speaker 1 (48:12):
Right, and it keeps you keep the unit on on
your ear for four days and then take it off
for three. We've had great results with that. That'll be
another show.
Speaker 2 (48:22):
That will be another show. The thing that they're actually
finding and they've done a lot of research on diabetes
that there can be a tremendous amount of changes that
occur on that. So there's a lot of research that's
going on. A lot of it's actually over in Europe.
And the units. When we were talking about a unit
before the unit for the aregular therapy was as big
(48:45):
as a bread box would be a good way to
say it. At this point. Now they're getting those units
down to where they're about the size of a thumbnail.
Speaker 1 (48:53):
You can put them behind your ear.
Speaker 2 (48:54):
You can put them behind your ear, so the ability
to treat, you know, is no longer longer just at
the office, but it will be something that you'll carry
around with you so that you have a continual stimulation
that will make the effectiveness of the regular therapy even greater.
Speaker 1 (49:13):
Yeah, it's had great results. Also, we have two daughters
and you didn't let them for the longest time get
earrings in the ear.
Speaker 2 (49:23):
Entire way.
Speaker 1 (49:24):
You were you were, But what effect do earrings have
on the health you know, of the body? And I
guess we're talking more about just earrings, but the whole
holes in the ear.
Speaker 2 (49:35):
There are you know, if that's the keyboard, and you
know you sit there and have something permanent on the keyboard,
you're going to get a whole bunch of you know,
if you got it right over the E key, then
you're getting ease all the time. So you can make
a lot of differences in your health by putting earrings
in your ears, because there are ionic changes that occur.
Speaker 1 (49:57):
I remember when the girls, you know you've finally said okay, well,
I said reluctantly, but you went with them. I did,
and the gal you showed exactly where you wanted that
hole for their yes.
Speaker 2 (50:15):
And it also makes a big difference on what type
of material that you use. Really, ear rings should be
made out of gold or silver, and each one produces
a different ionic charge. You get positive ions from the gold,
native ions from the silver. So there are in other words,
there's a whole science and putting ear rings in and
(50:39):
the amount of treatments, and if you're using cheap material.
Speaker 1 (50:41):
You're probably going to nickel.
Speaker 2 (50:44):
All those types of things are very very bad for
the health of the individual and for the balance of
the autonomic nervous system.
Speaker 1 (50:52):
And we're not even talking about belly button piercing.
Speaker 2 (50:55):
Get me started on that. Those are forbidden points. Yes,
they make a very very big difference.
Speaker 1 (51:03):
And the reason is, I mean you were talking about
health here.
Speaker 2 (51:06):
I'm talking about health. Yeah, yeah, obviously, you know they
want to ear rings make you look all pretty and
everything like that draw attention, and it's something that can
have a big effect. But you know, if you remember
the reason that the sailors would put ear rings into
their eyepoints and they would only use gold.
Speaker 1 (51:26):
Yeah, so if you find the eye point, So all
those parents out there are going to be bringing their
kids or say, see doctor prayther.
Speaker 2 (51:37):
This is not a necessarily a good thing going on
and something that I'm tolerating with my daughters. Luckily my
son doesn't do that. No, so we try to work
with it.
Speaker 1 (51:53):
So, how long have you been doing a worcular therapy
to pray the in your office?
Speaker 2 (51:57):
We've been doing it for twenty years.
Speaker 1 (51:59):
Okay, and it's not a new therapy.
Speaker 2 (52:02):
No, in nineteen fifties, nineteen fifties. He first started teaching
it around nineteen fifty six to other people. So it
has been around for a very long time with a
lot of research behind it. It is becoming more and
more accepted. Right now, I see this as one of
the major futures of healthcare coming up. Why is that, Well,
(52:26):
there is a massive shift in the demand from people.
You know, the amount of pharmaceuticals that we've dumped upon
the American population is absolutely huge. And the more pharmaceuticals
that we dump on people, the more unhealthy they become.
So we need to have a change in the thought pattern.
(52:47):
We need to be working more in a structured function.
One of the things that I've said and has been
repeated by many, many different types of very well respected
healthcare professionals out there is eighty percent of all care
should be structure function. Twenty percent should be a disease care,
a pharmaceutical based. It's not certainly that we are in
(53:11):
posing to, you know, completely eliminate the disease care. We
understand its benefits, we understand its possibilities, and that it
is something that I would not want to not have around.
But we need to be balancing out the system, finding
the homeostasis of the body. When the body is no
(53:33):
longer able to achieve homeostasis on its own, that is
when disease care is necessary. But adding a lot more
of the ability of the body to balance itself. And
when you're talking about the autonomic nervous system, that is
a very very major portion of the healthcare of an individual.
Speaker 1 (53:54):
Okay, we have about ten seconds after pray there anything
you want to close with.
Speaker 2 (53:58):
The ones that have no hope, have been everywhere, tried everything.
That's usually when you find a regular therapy, very very
dramatic and you can get some amazing changes.

Hi, I'm Lisa Praither and welcome to the Voice of
Health with our hosts doctor Robert Praither of Holistic Integration,
where lives are changed every day through the natural approach
to healthcare. Well, this week we're talking about auricular therapy
and natural pain solutions. This is one, doctor Praither, one
(00:33):
of the most powerful therapies we do, in my eyes,
And would you agree with that also?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
I would. You can have some far reaching effects on people,
and I can make some dramatic changes.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
And I want to spell it for people because most
of our listeners probably haven't heard of a regular therapy.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Most people haven't heard of auricular.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Huh, people that come in our doors.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
And sure, matter of fact, people shouldn't feel bad about
that because a lot of doctors don't know about our
regular therapy.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I'm going to spell it so people know how it's spelled,
because there's a lot of vowels in there. But it's
au r iculo therapy curricular therapy.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Which just means ear therapy.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Okay, Well, what is a regular therapy, doctor pray therapy?
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Well, a regular therapy is where you're using the ear
to make some changes throughout the body. And the basic
area that you're looking at is the brain. Auricular therapy
usually refers to electrical stimulation of the ear. You have
ear acupuncture, where you're using needle. A regular therapy is
a little bit different because you're using microcurrent on the
(01:39):
ear in very specific types of settings to make changes
in the entire body.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Wow. So there are different points on the ears.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
There are literally hundreds of points on the ears.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
So what's the history of a regular therapy.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Well, interestingly, the oldest orric therapy out there was Phoenician
sailors way back when they used to put gold ear
rings in their ears. Oh okay, and they would put
it pirates, Well, pirates used to do too. But interestingly enough,
one of the most important things for sailors to be
(02:19):
able to see far. If you have poor eyesight, then
you're down on the totem pole on being a sailor
because you have to be able to see out into
the horizon. So the Phoenicians discovered the ear point and
then they would put a gold ear ring in there
and improve their vision.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
So was the airpoint for vision?
Speaker 2 (02:39):
It was, yeah, And that's the most traditional point that
you would put it through, and it was actually Phoenician
doctors who would actually put those ear rings in. But
the treatments for the ears and affecting the body is
a very very ancient. It was found in Egypt, it
was found in India, certainly in China five hundred BC
there was the Yellow Empress Book of Medicine, and they
(03:00):
had the ideas of actually using the ear as a
treatment point in many different types of societies. They had
found the ears actually very beneficial. Sort of an old
wives tale is actually rubbing the ear lobe and you
can get a relaxation and a baby and put them
to sleep. That's something that for moms who are trying
to put a baby to sleep at night. It's a
(03:22):
very neat type of trick and it really does work.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Interesting to just rubbing the ear ear lobes. Is it
help adults too?
Speaker 2 (03:29):
It does, So you can actually come up there and
rub the ear lobe and you can put people to sleep.
So a regular therapy using the ear as a treatment
point has been around for thousands of years and has
been found in almost all societies as a way of
making changes in the system. So everyone's kind of discovered it,
but actually getting it down to a science is something
(03:52):
that we're actually doing at this point.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Well, who discovered, who gave it its name.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
And it's a very interesting story on the auricular therapy.
Doctor Nourge a Frenchman in the nineteen fifties is the
one who brought auricular therapy into science and he had
patients coming in because he was a neurologist who had
piatic pain and there was a old healer lady who
(04:20):
would cutterize people's point for sidic pain. There's a certain
point on the ear that actually helps with sciatica and
he had noticed it, found out what she was doing,
did some scientific studies to see if there was actually
changes because he could actually measure brain waves. That was
one of his main things was he helped to map.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
The brain and you study with a neurosurgeon.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
He was a neurosurgeon and so he started to also
work with the points for siatica and saw some significant
relief of pain. So he started to do a lot
of scientific study on the brainwaves the ears and then
map the brain and the ear points and how they
(05:05):
related and was able to come up with a whole
system of a regular therapy electrical stimulation of the ear
along with acupuncture. It was then transferred over to China.
The Chinese looked at it and said that it agreed
with their procedures because he wanted their input, and he
(05:27):
came up and started the whole scientific treatment called a
regular therapy to produce changes in people's health.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Interesting, So, how is a regular therapy different from acupuncture?
Speaker 2 (05:43):
And that's one thing that I have found very definitely
there is a very big difference between the effects of
a regular therapy and acupuncture. Acupuncture is more of a
large scale type of a system. In other words, it
covers the entire body and makes direct changes on the
chemistry of the body. Aurcular therapy is more specific to
(06:06):
the brain. One of the things is when do I
actually think of using a regular therapy as opposed to acupuncture,
and why would I combine the two different ones the
auricular therapy. What we're trying to do along those lines
is to change the perception of the brain on what's
(06:26):
happening into the body. One of the things that we
find is that there are times where we can relieve
the pain that someone has. In other words, there's an
underlying cause for the pain that's actually occurring, and you
can eliminate the underlying cause, and people can still have
pain or disease in different types of areas. Why is that, Well,
(06:52):
one of the things that occurs is you get these
refluxes through the body, and if you've had pain for
a long, long period of time, the pain fibers become
very used to sending that pain information even when the
offending problem is no longer there. So when we actually
look at using a regular therapy is when it's no
(07:14):
longer a problem in the area, but it's actually more
of a problem in the brain. So a regular therapy
we're actually thinking more on balancing out normalizing the electrical
impulses of the brain. Also, the brain actually has a
holographic image of you inside of.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
There sounds like Star Trek.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
It is kind of like a Star Trek type of thing.
There is this image that the body has and the
body might have a false image, and.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Especially if pain for a while, especially if it's.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Pain and disease for a long period of time, it
actually gets used to that and the brain will actually
fight changing that holographic image because it's become used to it.
So what we're doing with the ourcular therapy is really
rewiring the central computer and the ear is the conduit
(08:14):
to the brain. That's what we've found because the science
behind that is we can hit different points on the
ear and we can immediately show changes in the brain patterns.
And it used to be that you had to take
off people's skull to actually measure that.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
We don't do that.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
We don't do that. Now they actually have MRI imaging
that they can do that will actually show the changes
immediately in the brain and you can see exactly what's
happening with the iregular therapy. As matter of fact, our
regular therapy is the most proven therapy in the entire world. Wow,
(08:53):
because you can get direct correlation between the stimulation of
the ear points and the changes within the brain weighs activity.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
How long have you been working with a regular therapy.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
I actually got a regular therapy unit about twenty five
years ago, So it has been something that we've used
on a long term type of basis and extremely helpful,
especially with our chronic patients.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
So it's not a new therapy, it's just getting some
publicity now.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
It's becoming yes, more accepted. One of the things that
is occurring is we're actually getting a better idea, and
there is better analysis of exactly what's going on, so
it's becoming much more easy to prove and then actually
to find the effects of it immediately.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Well, how is a regular therapy involved with structure function medicine.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Well, the idea behind structure function medicine is to balance
out the different portions of the body, and there are
many different ways that we actually approach that. That's why
we have the chiropractic, we have the acupuncture, we have massage,
we have the physical therapy, we have the whole nutritional
portion of the homeopathy. We're looking at different areas of
(10:07):
the body and how to actually balance it out. What
we're trying to do with aurricular therapy is to balance
out the brain, and the brain function a very very
important part because of course that tells the rest of
the body what to do. You don't have the brain balanced,
you're not going to have the proper effects and the
proper health in the rest of the body.
Speaker 1 (10:28):

The Voice of Health Wellness tip featuring rapid release technology
Dutch Brather. What condition does the rapid release technology work on?
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Carpal tunnel, shoulder issues where you'd have restrictions, even like
shoulder rotator, cuffy, problems with the pains in the elbow,
either golfer's elbow, tennis elbow all help out tremendously.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Neck pain, low back pain.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Headaches, extremely excellent for headaches, siatica, performance syndromes, scoliosis, even.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Yeah, and we've used it on TMJ evenj we had
that big mass that or muscle that we need to release.
Neat conditions plantar faesciitis.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
To Patron's contraction.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Yeah. Rappid release has five heads on it, so you
can use specifically. The smaller heads would be for someone.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
You know, for smaller areas, for the hand type of
problems along those lines, any type of scar tissue post
surgical trying to get that back to where it needs
to be. Basically almost every type of muscular skeletal condition
out there. It's very versatile, amazingly effective, and one of
the greatest things is safety. In other words, with the
rapid release, you're not going to make something.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Worse, right, and it's not painful. We've had quite a
few patients by them for themselves.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Oh yes, yeah, We've had several people who came into
our office and said that was the only thing that
really helped them, you know, of everything that they had
tried before, the dramatic changes along those lines.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Yeah, And someone will say, well, I have this thumper,
a big massager at home. It's not the same thing, right,
not the same technology.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
No, it's not even trying to accomplish the same thing.

Natural Solutions for Pain, arthritis and Inflammation Wednesday, September twenty
fourth at six thirty pm. You'll hear from doctor Robert Prather,
host of the Voice of Health Radio.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
A lot of people are experiencing pain and trying to
find relief. Now, with the medical model, what you're doing
is trying to take the symptom of the pain and
not getting to the cause. So what we do is
actually try to fix the cause of the pain. The
nerve blocks, opiods, all the nonsho aine ti inflammatory drugs,
(13:45):
all those types of things are to basically mask the pain,
not really solve the problem. So what we're doing is
trying to get in there, find out what is the
underlying cause. And we can always reproduce the pain. People
always appreciate me reproducing point and then after the treatment
we can go back and read check it and it's clear,
(14:06):
and then you know, knowing what to do to really
get that fixed is the most important thing. There's just
a lot of physiological things that happen to the body
when you're in pain. You know, your pH your chemistry,
your energy goes low. And so to be able to heal,
To get the healing that I want to see and people,
I have to get them out of pain and get
(14:28):
them out of pain very quickly. Matter of fact, we're
usually looking at a two week window to get people
out of pain. Otherwise I reevaluate because we're not doing
something quite right. So pain's an enemy when it wears
you down, but it's a friend to tell you that
there's something wrong and not to ignore it. And a
lot of people give up as far as on their pain,
(14:49):
you know, it's something like people who have chronic headaches.
Eighty percent just give up, and we're pretty much one
hundred percent successful on them. It's a matter of knowing
what to do, how to get the body balanced.

I'm Boo. You're listening to the Voice of Health with
doctor Robert Preither of Holistic Integration, the most comprehensive wellness
center in the Midwest. This week, we're talking about auricular
(15:50):
therapy and natural pain solutions. Another name for it, doctor Praither,
would be ear.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Yeah, it would be uh ear therapy.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Ear therapy. Okay, you're talking about the history about it,
and it's been wrong for a long time.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
It's been something that's been involved in healthcare and ancient
civilizations forever.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
We talked about its involvement with structure function medicine. Is
a regular therapy something that's accepted by conventional medicine.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
It's slowly becoming accepted. The official National Institute of Health
has recognized that a regular therapy is something that could
be extremely beneficial, that there is definitely science behind it.
They're not quite sure what to make of it and
how that applies. But of course we're talking about a
whole different type of a thought pattern than what is
(16:41):
normal and conventional medicine. Conventional medicine is considered disease care.
Disease care is a set of symptoms and what you
do is you find things. If you have an inflammation,
then you have an anti inflammatory. If you have a pain,
then you've take an anti pain medicine, and that is
symptom based type of care. Whereas we're talking about structure
(17:05):
function and it is a totally different type of a
approach to healthcare. We are looking at balancing out and
normalizing everyday function of the body and a regular therapy again,
as I said, is a means of balancing out the
brain function, normalizing the holographic image of the body and
(17:30):
how it interrelates with each other. So it's a very
important part of a system along those lines, it's not
always a one on one correlation. That's what is frustrating
for conventional medical disease care, the way that they think
it only works if there is an imbalance in the
(17:52):
brain function. It's not like you can have sciatica and
you can automatically go up to the ear and get
relief for the siotic pain. It has to be caused
by an imbalance in the brain, not an actual pinch
nerve down in the low back. Okay, if you have
a pinch nerve down on the low back, you go
in there and relieve the pinching, you get the inflammation down.
(18:15):
You do those types of things to actually get it
to change. It only works if it's caused by an
brain imbalance. So you need to be able to analyze
it and see when it is necessary and what is not.
That's where the clinical experience of the doctor, the ability
(18:37):
to analyze and see what's going on with the system,
and then you can get the changes that are necessary.
One of the things that we are doing now is
we have different means of testing to see if there
is an imbalance in the autonomic nervous system.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Okay, and what's the autonomic nervous system.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
The autonomic nervous system is the portion of the nervous
system that is being on our conscious control. And there
is a balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic system. And
when that balance becomes overwrought into the sympathetic system, then
you have an abnormal imaging of the brain and you
(19:19):
will get some of the effects of the brain actually
causing the pain. Or discomfort or disease that's involved in
that organ.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
System isn't like the sympathetic like you're being chased by
a tiger or fight flight.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Yes, it creates a fight flight. There's a constriction of
blood vessels, there are certain different chemicals that occur, there's
a change in the pH So if that area has
an imbalance in the nervous system, you do not get
the normal type of healing, you don't get the normal
type of cellular chemistry going on. There's a whole host
(19:55):
of changes that can occur because of that. The nervous
system and the underconsystem, or the two systems that control
the whole rest of the body. You have to get
those two things balanced out before you can actually get
to health. So a regular therapy is only effective in
certain types of conditions and in certain types of situations,
(20:16):
and you have to be able to pick those up
before you do the therapy and know that that will
actually make some changes. That's where my clinical experience comes in.
But as the technology increases, it's going to be much
much easier, and then we're going to be able to
see and it will be much more accepted because of
(20:36):
the results that you'll actually be getting out of a
regular therapy will be much more consistent.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Yeah, I know because we do it in our office
a lot through that the beginning passive care, beginning of
treatment and find it very effective. I've even had it
on myself and find it very effective. Oh.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
I have people come out of there and say, oh
my gosh, I feel like I'm going to all asleep
because it's the first time that their nervous system has
been able to be balanced out, and there can be
a huge amount of changes that occurred. I had a
patient who had fibromyalgia, had had it for years and years.
We had been able to get their system balanced out,
(21:18):
but they still had pain. We went to the regular
therapy and after a week of treatment, the patient had
been on three different medications for pain, was able to
eliminate them all. It was a life changer. Yeah. The
interesting thing about a regular therapy is people who said
I've tried everything, nothing works at this point. Those are
(21:41):
usually the people that show up the best for the
irregular therapy.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Why is that because nothing has really treated the brain?
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Because yes, nothing has worked on the imaging of the brain.
There is no other type of treatment pharmaceutical. Nothing along
those lines will treat that imaging of the brain. The
ones that have no hope have been everywhere, tried everything.
That's usually when you find a regular therapy very very
(22:11):
dramatic and you can get some amazing changes.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Well, let's talk about you're talking about systems. So what
is a microsystem? How does that involved with the regular therapy.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
A microsystem, you have a macrosystem like acupuncture, because the
acupuncture points go throughout the entire body. You have chiropractic.
It's a macrosystem type of a carrot because it covers
the entire body. There is a very direct relationship between
the neck pain and the vertebrae of the neck, whereas
with a microsystem, you're talking about a portion of the
(22:45):
body that is in a smaller area but actually can
represent the entire body. Foot reflexology is one that people
are very aware of, and that's a microsystem. In other words,
there are different points on the feet that have a
throughout the entire system. There's actually a hand reflexology, there's
(23:05):
a way of evaluating the tongue. There's eerdology, and then
there's also the ear. Interesting portion about the ear is
that there is an image of an upside down fetus.
That concept was found by doctor Norje as he was
mapping out the body parts and how they represent different
(23:30):
portions of the body. He found that it was identical
to the picture of an upside down fetus.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Well, I'm looking at your ear right now, and I
can see that. So the earlumps the head, yes, yeah, okay.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
And then the spine goes right along the ridge right
up there, and you deal with the brain down in
the ear lobe, you deal with the rest of the system.
You've got the internal organs or inside the ear, and
it's a perfect representation of the human body only in
the fetal state. That makes it much easier. And that
(24:05):
was something that had never been imaged or recognized by
anybody else before doctor Norget and he was drawing out
the body in one of his assistants said that looks
like an upside down fetus, and he says, you're absolutely right,
And that's one of the more accepted types of ways.
And you can get a good picture of working with
(24:28):
the oicular therapy by imagining upside down baby, and then
you can pretty well get to the points just by
looking at it that way.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Interesting yeah, I can't stop staring at your ear.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
I don't know if that's good or not.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
This is amazing the way we were created.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
So, but that would be a microsystem.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Okay, what are remote reflexes?
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Remote reflexes are you're dealing with a gallbladder point up
in the ear, but it's a quite a distance remote. Yes,
it's remote. So you've got that connection that goes from
the ear to every portion of the body, So that
is considered a remote reflux. In other words, you can
(25:15):
affect anything and everything in the body by working on
the ear.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
So what are regular sematic reflexes.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
A regular sematic reflexes are where you can change the
functioning of organ systems by electrically stimulating the ear. So
you can change the amount of bile that's flowing out
of the gall ladder. You can change the functions of
the kidney, you can change the heart rate, you can
(25:45):
change blood pressure. All of those different types of aspects
can be affected by the ear. Even though you sit
there and say, well, how can that be possible? And
understanding the brain, how can you know brain in the
body connection, Because the brain tells everything else what to do,
and the ear is what I would consider the control
(26:07):
panel of the brain.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Oh, there we go. So you have therapy control panel, right.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
It's like a keyboard, and then you have the brain
as a computer. Is that a nice way to that is?
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Okay? And the last before we go on break, what
is somo topic inversionatotopicon.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
There we Goversion is a technical term for the upside
down fees.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Okay, that makes sense that you have.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
To throw in a little scientific.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
It's kind of, you know, make it some more scientific.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Okay, Well, when we come back, we'll talk about the
conditions that are best treated by our regular therapy. Listen

Speaker 2 (28:16):
About eighty percent of everyone's going to have TMJ sometime
in their life, and many times people aren't even aware
that that's where their problem's coming. Right. The neck has
to be fixed to be able to fix the TMJ.
If you don't get the top bone called the atlas fixed,
you'll never be able to fix the TMJ.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
And that's something you do your special have a specialty.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Yeah, but if the alice is out, you're going to
absolutely get nowhere with a TMJ. We've had people with
elbow problems, we've had people with shoulder problems and I
said it's coming from your john. They're like, well, it
doesn't hurt up.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
How if that happen.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Yeah, And so I go up there and adjust their jaw.
I rechecked their shoulder and the elbow, and I said,
does that hurt anymore? And they go no. Oh my gosh,
I've had people working on this for two years and
never gotten this far and you do it in just
like five seconds.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Let's talk about how acupuncture relieves pain.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Basically, it works along the opiate pathways. What they find
is that when you stick acupuncture needles in, the opiate
levels of the body raise up quite significantly. Not only
does it help the opiates to increase naturally in your body,
but it also opens up the receptor sites. They find
an increase in receptor sites. And what's interesting is if
(29:29):
you're talking about the benefits of acupuncture versus actual opiods
that you take in from the outside, Opiods as you
take them in suppress your own body's ability to make
opiods and it also destroys the receptor sites. That's why
opiates should only be used for most two weeks post
surgical pain. End of life where you're not really concerned
(29:52):
about addiction.

week we're talking about a therapy and natural pain solutions.
Let's talk about what conditions are best treated by our
(32:06):
regular therapy.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Auricular therapy is very effective on anything that is controlled
by the brain, which is everything, but not everything is
actually locked up into the brain. So it's best used
on chronic conditions the longer that it's actually been there.
(32:28):
In other words, if people can't really find out, you know,
what is the cause of this, you know, we really
don't know. So patients come in they have back pain
or sciatica. They've done all the different types of tests
they've gone through all the treatments. Physical therapy didn't work
at all, you know, they tried injections, didn't work. In
(32:50):
other words, everything's kind of a failure. Then oftentimes we
can go to the brain and find the underlying cause.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Okay, but I know you use it in the initial
stages of care in our autit.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Well, it's something that we find is helpful. Actually in
every type of situation. There isn't anything that a regular
therapy can't actually help. One of the nice things about
our regular therapy is that you can't hurt anyone with it,
So it's a very safe type of a treatment, and
anyone who's in pain will get benefit out of a
(33:24):
regular therapy.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Well, I know for me it's helped me with stress
or any anxiety, and I hope that's not a chronic
condition for me. Maybe you think otherwise.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
But that's the other thing. Anything that's mental addictions, anxiety,
sleep disorders, add ADHD, learning disabilities, any type of a
mental condition, very very effective, anything to do with pain.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
I know, I part aricatherapy in addiction centers.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Yes, there are whole country, Yeah, there are whole clinics
based on a regular therapy for addiction. It's amazingly effective.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
And I know what, We've had a lot of success
with that smoking cessation.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Right, We have had about every single addiction has had
an excellent response with smoking cessation. Also with other different
types of addictions too. It's very effective for food addictions,
for drug addictions, because.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Isn't there a point for appetite suppressant.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
There's a point for appetite suppressant. A lot of times, again,
the brain has a picture on what should be going on.
There is a appetite control center that is in your
brain that can be just turned on and people can't
turn it off through different types of problems that they've had.
(34:48):
So emotional types of conditions, people who've been through post
traumatic stress syndrome respond very very well. People with phantom
limp pain, these types of things can respond very well.
A good example that we had is we had a
patient who had pancreatic cancer. Morphine was no longer working.
The oncologists actually referred him to me for acupuncture. So
(35:11):
we were doing acupuncture and auricular therapy on him. We
would see him twice a week and when he had
gone into the oncologist, the ancologist gave me a phone
call and he says, you know, what are you doing?
And I'm saying, well, what do you mean what am
I doing? He says, he's in absolutely no pain and
(35:32):
he's taking no morphine or any painkills at this time.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
So he was completely off of all pain medication. And
this is one of the most painabilitating pain cancer that
you can, yeah, that you can possibly have. So he
was able to go through his entire time with the
pancreatic cancer. He was only given about four weeks left
to live, but he went about five months, which was
(35:58):
much better for he got right The week before he died.
He actually went to Holiday World with his grandchildren. When
he died. He had told his family that he wasn't
feeling that well and they said, well, do you want
to go to the hospital and he says, yeah, I
think I should. They were driving him to the hospital,
(36:19):
he says, I'm just going to take my seat back
and rest a little bit while we're going there, And
on the way to the hospital he passed away asleep,
a much much better scenario than anything that he was
looking at before. So for the pain conditions, as you're
on pain medication, it can be extremely necessary, but it
(36:42):
definitely changes your perception of the world, how you function.
It's not something that gives you the full value of
your life where you can go into using a regular
therapy get the pain relief without any situations where it's
causing mental fusion all the other different types of symptoms
(37:02):
that can go along with the medications.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
Right, and I know you've had some great results with
a regular therapy and its effect on add and ADHD yes.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
Actually about three kids right now who are presently getting
a regular therapy. One was just having an awful time
and after three treatments it was, as the mom said.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
Miraculous having trouble at school.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
Having trouble at school, being threatened to be kicked out.
Teacher says, I wish we had started this earlier, but
a huge difference on the calming, changes the focus. We
had one child who was definitely acting up quite a bit.
Mom brought him in. Dad wasn't really for it, said that,
(37:49):
you know, medicine was the best way to go. She
brought him in, brought him back. After a few hours there,
he said, Okay, what did you do? This is a
different child and there's.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
Not this side of it of the medication.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
Right now, right, it's a balancing of the system, not
the pharmaceutical atomic bond that hits people.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
Well, you want to explain to people what it looks like.
I know they're holding a probe for the you call
it the micro microcurrent. Why would you explain.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
Yeah, it's one of the big things that people ask.
Does it hurt? It definitely doesn't hurt.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
It's very pressure maybe on the ear points, yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
And possibly a little bit of electrical stimulation, but oftentimes
not even that. Yeah, it's a microcurrent, so it's a
very small amount. It's a pressure on different ear points.
The instrument itself will measure the balance of the ear
points and say if it's balanced or not, so that
we know whether to treat that point. Then we basically
(38:47):
treat it for about a minute that particular point until
the balance is out. Then that's about it. On the
feeling that's involved.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
And how many points, it just depends because there's different protocols.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
Correct, It depends on how many Yes, exactly what we're
dealing with, how bad the situation is. As they go along,
then the protocol becomes less and less. It usually takes
a few treatments to completely feel the effects. Though. I've
had people who came in and were smokers. I remember
a couple of cases where we did regular therapy on
(39:20):
the first time and they came back and they said,
I have absolutely no desire to smoke it.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
Yeah. Yeah, I remember when a young man in fact,
he han't been in a year, has been doing great.
Just I think he came in for a massage and
says he hasn't had a desire to pick up a cigarette.
And all his roommates smoke, so it's not that you know,
he's yeah, and definitely addicted. He's been tempted, but he
had six regular therapy sessions sure, and took care of
(39:48):
that smoking addiction. It's exciting. What role does endorphins play
in regular therapy.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
Well, that's one of the things is they've been doing
research is that there's definitely a increase in the endorphins,
which is the body's own ability to decrease pain. It
also encourages pleasure centers. So there is a definite chemical
change that occurs in the body, and the body will
(40:14):
produce a large amount of endorphins, which is actually the
strongest pain reliever that your body can actually accept. So
This is something that's natural. The body knows how to
regulate it so that you don't get too many. It's
an amazing pain relief mechanism that the body's producing on
(40:36):
its own.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
Okay, when we come back, let's talk about the research.
What's going on in the research for a regular therapy.

Speaker 2 (41:46):
Promote chicken cartilage to help with joints. NOx Jelaton was
a medicine for joints. Harvard Medical University actually said, Okay,
you've been really hit by the drug companies and the
FDA for actually promote that and claiming that it helps
with joints. Let's do a study on it. They were
absolutely amazed at how much better it worked than the drugs,
(42:07):
and really it's glucosamine is what they found that really
works quite well. And what it does is it helps
the joint to reproduce, so it actually keeps the cartilage
out and it can even repair our damaged cartilage. So
glucosamine actually kills nonstory Lantie inflammatories working on joints because
it takes down the inflammation. The longer you take it,
(42:27):
the more it works. We pretty much have found the
natural things always work better than the pharmaceutical.
Speaker 1 (42:34):
So we talk about the chiropractic acupuncture, decompression, what therapies
are helpful for the hips.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
We have quite a few. We have ultrasound, we have
electrical stem, we have diathermy that increases the blood flow,
all those different types of modalities. We have rapid release, yes,
which is absolutely wonderful for trigger points. People who get
that done are like, WHOA, this is amazing. We've had
one guy who had leg problems, hip problems. The rapid
(43:04):
release where we were going over it on his leg.
It was just like a miracle for him. He actually
bought one, yeah, because it was just like he was
going to be moving to California. He says, I want
to make sure that I've got that treatment on a
regular basis. One of the most popular treatments. In other words,
about everything that you could do in structure function we do.
People want to get out of low back pain as
(43:26):
quickly as possible. Acupuncture is probably one of the best
things to get someone out of pain. Amazing for pain
because it increases the natural opiods in the body, the
opiated receptors. It relaxes the cortisol. People usually get up
and go, that's amazing, I'm out of pain. How long
is this going to last? Usually on the first one
(43:47):
it lasts about forty eight hours, and then the pain
starts to come back because you haven't made the corrections yet,
so it's great for pain relief. It also speeds up
healing with surgeries. We will do acupuncture around those and
the surgery will heal twice is fast and also you
don't get scars that are associated with that. Even old
scars can actually disappear with acupuncture. So acupuncture helps with
(44:08):
pain and speeds up healing process in the body. It's incredible.

Beautiful scar So you're listening to the Voice of Health
with doctor Robert Prather of Holistic Integration, where our mission
(44:58):
is restoring hope to our page. This week we're talking
about auricular therapy and natural pain solutions and very informative
Dutch pether We're talking about there's a lot of people
and you're saying even doctors haven't heard of a regular therapy.
Speaker 2 (45:16):
Yeah, there's in Indianapolis. Well throughout the world, there's very
few auricular therapists out there. I'm not quite sure of
anyone else who's doing auricular therapy in Indianapolis besides myself.
Speaker 1 (45:28):
Yeah, but now you see the schools are adding in
the holistic schools have it in their curriculum and so
very effective. But let's talk about, you know, the research
into a regular therapy. What's being done now in the research.
Speaker 2 (45:41):
National Institute of Health has quite a bit of research
because addiction especially is a big area of concern. More
and more people are becoming addicted to drugs.
Speaker 1 (45:50):
We're talking about prescription medicine as well as the prescription medicine.
Speaker 2 (45:54):
Right. There's a very big push, i know in Indiana
to cut down on the amount of pain medication that's
going out to patients. There's a large number of patients
that are becoming addicted through no fault of their own.
They would prescribed the medications and then once they become addicted,
it's very difficult to get off. It's a very very
(46:14):
big problem. Something that's acknowledged by everyone at this point.
So what are the alternatives to the olpiates, to the
different types of medications out there. The aregular therapy presents
a great opportunity for a natural way of pain relief.
So pain relief is a very big way of trying
to find out ways of working with that. They're also
(46:37):
doing research on getting off of drugs and the main
research is within the autonomic nervous system. There are new
advances in technology. There are new ways of looking at
something called heart rate variability, and it's an effective means
of seeing what the balance is between the parasympathetic and
(46:59):
sympathetic system. There is an ideal type of balance on
that and when that's off, especially when it's related to
the addictive centers of the brain and also to the
pain centers of the brain. And they are doing the
research on their regular therapy and when they find that
they can balance those out into more of a parasympathetic
(47:21):
the addictive tendencies that people have reduced quite dramatically and
the pain of relief is quite significant.
Speaker 1 (47:28):
Yeah, that autonomic nervous system is just so interesting and
when we can move it and more into the parasympathetic.
You know, the other thing we teach is deep breathing.
A lot of times when the patients are getting their
regular therapy, we want them to work on their deep
breathing during that time.
Speaker 2 (47:48):
Well, it's a very well proven aspect that when you
can do deep breathing that there is a balance shift
towards the parasympathetic in pain levels go down. Yeah, because
the bodies of bilas to make the pain of the
endorphins increase quite dramatically.
Speaker 1 (48:05):
Yeah, And we've started something we'll have to do another
show on that called points Stimulation or piece stem.
Speaker 2 (48:10):
Which is actually an ourgular therapy.
Speaker 1 (48:12):
Right, and it keeps you keep the unit on on
your ear for four days and then take it off
for three. We've had great results with that. That'll be
another show.
Speaker 2 (48:22):
That will be another show. The thing that they're actually
finding and they've done a lot of research on diabetes
that there can be a tremendous amount of changes that
occur on that. So there's a lot of research that's
going on. A lot of it's actually over in Europe.
And the units. When we were talking about a unit
before the unit for the aregular therapy was as big
(48:45):
as a bread box would be a good way to
say it. At this point. Now they're getting those units
down to where they're about the size of a thumbnail.
Speaker 1 (48:53):
You can put them behind your ear.
Speaker 2 (48:54):
You can put them behind your ear, so the ability
to treat, you know, is no longer longer just at
the office, but it will be something that you'll carry
around with you so that you have a continual stimulation
that will make the effectiveness of the regular therapy even greater.
Speaker 1 (49:13):
Yeah, it's had great results. Also, we have two daughters
and you didn't let them for the longest time get
earrings in the ear.
Speaker 2 (49:23):
Entire way.
Speaker 1 (49:24):
You were you were, But what effect do earrings have
on the health you know, of the body? And I
guess we're talking more about just earrings, but the whole
holes in the ear.
Speaker 2 (49:35):
There are you know, if that's the keyboard, and you
know you sit there and have something permanent on the keyboard,
you're going to get a whole bunch of you know,
if you got it right over the E key, then
you're getting ease all the time. So you can make
a lot of differences in your health by putting earrings
in your ears, because there are ionic changes that occur.
Speaker 1 (49:57):
I remember when the girls, you know you've finally said okay, well,
I said reluctantly, but you went with them. I did,
and the gal you showed exactly where you wanted that
hole for their yes.
Speaker 2 (50:15):
And it also makes a big difference on what type
of material that you use. Really, ear rings should be
made out of gold or silver, and each one produces
a different ionic charge. You get positive ions from the gold,
native ions from the silver. So there are in other words,
there's a whole science and putting ear rings in and
(50:39):
the amount of treatments, and if you're using cheap material.
Speaker 1 (50:41):
You're probably going to nickel.
Speaker 2 (50:44):
All those types of things are very very bad for
the health of the individual and for the balance of
the autonomic nervous system.
Speaker 1 (50:52):
And we're not even talking about belly button piercing.
Speaker 2 (50:55):
Get me started on that. Those are forbidden points. Yes,
they make a very very big difference.
Speaker 1 (51:03):
And the reason is, I mean you were talking about
health here.
Speaker 2 (51:06):
I'm talking about health. Yeah, yeah, obviously, you know they
want to ear rings make you look all pretty and
everything like that draw attention, and it's something that can
have a big effect. But you know, if you remember
the reason that the sailors would put ear rings into
their eyepoints and they would only use gold.
Speaker 1 (51:26):
Yeah, so if you find the eye point, So all
those parents out there are going to be bringing their
kids or say, see doctor prayther.
Speaker 2 (51:37):
This is not a necessarily a good thing going on
and something that I'm tolerating with my daughters. Luckily my
son doesn't do that. No, so we try to work
with it.
Speaker 1 (51:53):
So, how long have you been doing a worcular therapy
to pray the in your office?
Speaker 2 (51:57):
We've been doing it for twenty years.
Speaker 1 (51:59):
Okay, and it's not a new therapy.
Speaker 2 (52:02):
No, in nineteen fifties, nineteen fifties. He first started teaching
it around nineteen fifty six to other people. So it
has been around for a very long time with a
lot of research behind it. It is becoming more and
more accepted. Right now, I see this as one of
the major futures of healthcare coming up. Why is that, Well,
(52:26):
there is a massive shift in the demand from people.
You know, the amount of pharmaceuticals that we've dumped upon
the American population is absolutely huge. And the more pharmaceuticals
that we dump on people, the more unhealthy they become.
So we need to have a change in the thought pattern.
(52:47):
We need to be working more in a structured function.
One of the things that I've said and has been
repeated by many, many different types of very well respected
healthcare professionals out there is eighty percent of all care
should be structure function. Twenty percent should be a disease care,
a pharmaceutical based. It's not certainly that we are in
(53:11):
posing to, you know, completely eliminate the disease care. We
understand its benefits, we understand its possibilities, and that it
is something that I would not want to not have around.
But we need to be balancing out the system, finding
the homeostasis of the body. When the body is no
(53:33):
longer able to achieve homeostasis on its own, that is
when disease care is necessary. But adding a lot more
of the ability of the body to balance itself. And
when you're talking about the autonomic nervous system, that is
a very very major portion of the healthcare of an individual.
Speaker 1 (53:54):
Okay, we have about ten seconds after pray there anything
you want to close with.
Speaker 2 (53:58):
The ones that have no hope, have been everywhere, tried everything.
That's usually when you find a regular therapy, very very
dramatic and you can get some amazing changes.
