Health and Mind Machines
An Alternative Medical Therapy Approach
In the
United States of America, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates
what procedures can be used to treat any medical condition. The US FDA will
come down hard on anyone advocating a therapy or device that they have not
sanctioned as applicable for the treatment of a medical condition. They can
and they have come down of mind machine manufacturers in the past because of
this, and there is not one of them that doesn't have to be careful not to
promote their product for medical health purposes.
The FDA's
point of view has great merits since it stems from the days when anyone could
advocate and sell many elixirs that proved harmful to peoples health. At its
base, the regulations governing what can and can not be advertised as a
treatment for health conditions are meant to protect the public. In reality,
many people in this country suspect that the FDAs powers are highly influenced
by very powerful medical and drug company lobbies, that prevent safe,
effective, and inexpensive treatments from being made available to the public.
Being a health watch dog really is a two sided sword!
Now this
must be gotten out of the way before proceeding:
The FDA does
not recognize mind machines or light and sound sessions as effective in the
treatment of any medical health condition. We here at Enlightened Enterprises,
do not advertise or advocate that mind machines or light and sounds sessions
are treatments for any medical health condition without the recommendation of
a physician!
And now for
the discussion of how it really is:
Although
alternative medicine is making great strides here in the US, to my knowledge
mind machines are very seldom used for that purpose. Light and sound mind
machines have their adherents who by their own statements have gained benefits
from their use for their own health conditions... I being one of them. I truly
believe that one day, perhaps not so far off, they will be used to treat
certain conditions. Not however until some medical researchers have put a
great deal of research into their use for that purpose...and not until the
leverage of certain drug companies and medical societies have been gotten
around so that the FDA approves them for that purpose.
In my
experience, sound sessions alone are as potent as many medications...that
should hardly be surprising since sound has be recognized as having biological
health effects upon the human body and mind for decades. Controlling those
effects are a bit more problematic. Oh sure, relaxation sessions and sleep
sessions and wakefulness sessions are some of the easiest sessions to program.
Creating a session that will influence the onset of disease or one that will
over come the bad health effects of some other disorder is quite another
matter.
That sound
and light sessions can be used as medical treatments is something I have no
doubt about....However our main focus here at Enlightened Enterprises is to
use them for spiritual experiences. There is plenty of anecdotal evidence in
cyber space of people using these devices to their benefit. If you have a
condition and wish to experiment with a mind machine to see if it helps you,
go for it. We can't tell you that it will be effective, but there are plenty
of users who may suggest different approaches that you may find helpful. I
would strongly recommend however that you not use these devices in place of
traditional medical treatments.
Until the
day arrives that these devices are proved to be useful for the treatment of
medical health conditions, It is my opinion that these devices should be used
as an alternative complementary therapy for patients undergoing medical
treatment...to calm and relax those under stress from their predicament...and
to remove unlaying harmful psychological mental impressions.
If you plan
to use these devices to help yourself with some health condition, I would
strongly recommend the Awakening Mind 1 manual. There is information contained
within it that may point you in the right directions, and there is certainly
cautions about what not to do that will help to keep you safe. We made the
mistakes so you don't have to!
