I. The Human Body:

The human body is a constant. We are all made up of the same structures and all of our structures perform the same functions. In addition, all of our functions are interrelated in various dynamic mixes all designed by heredity and innate wisdom to create homeostasis. Our individual uniqueness results from the way our constants interact in accordance with genetics, environment, and various stresses. Finally, every human body contains an autonomic nervous system which knows the optimum pathway to health since it is this system that connects us with the innate intelligence. Attaining health is actually a simple problem for the body but can be very complex to the physician who is responsible for identifying exactly what treatments the body needs.

II. Diagnosis:

The human body is driven by an innate intelligence that powers the central and autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system then manages the body for optimum homeostasis. Its primary concern is to maintain a balance with the least amount of energy expenditure. When there is a dysfunction, the body pays a heavy price for homeostasis. To establish a less stressful balance the body is capable of providing a sequential pattern of treatment requirements to the practitioner. This is a strictly linear process and is referred to as “The Weak Link Process.” This process is founded on the discovery that within each body there is function that is recognized to be the weakest or most dysfunctional. It is the primary concern of the body to correct the weakest area. Once corrected it then directs its attention to the next weakest area. This linear process continues until homeostasis is established with the least amount of energy expenditure. Theoretically, the Weak Link Process is discontinued when perfection is attained. Understanding The Weak Link Process removes an enormous amount of complexity to patient analysis, but it also causes some difficulty because of the way we are conditioned.

We are educated as physicians to compile all of our findings and reach a diagnosis. The body, however, does not think in terms of a diagnosis. It is only concerned with normalizing a particular sequence of disorders. This requires a sequence of specific treatments. For example, in a given instance, a diagnosis of fibromyalgia could be interpreted by the body’s own awareness as interstitial deposits of large molecule proteins caused by a negative psychological impact from a parent. The psychological impact actually produces a deficient thymus proteolytic function enabling the large molecule proteins to be deposited. The diagnosis of fibromyalgia could lead to various, and oftentimes numerous therapeutic protocols. However, in a particular patient, the body requires first a proteolytic enzyme capable of dissolving large molecule proteins, followed by constitutional homeopathic, specific thymus support and finally a small molecule proteolytic enzyme for thymus support. In another case of fibromyalgia with almost identical symptoms, there might be small molecule proteotoxin deposits followed by deficient liver toxin metabolism, B12-based anemia, hypothyroid and finally deficient thymic protein metabolism. The symptom patterns are basically the same but the therapy sequences are completely different. Often, when making a standard diagnosis and then prescribing an associated treatment protocol, there is not an exact match to what the body requires.

III. Treatment Concepts:

When all of the treatments and body components are combined, literally billions of combinations of disorders are possible. Still, the autonomic nervous system is concerned initially with only the single most important treatment. When healing is involved, the body is strictly linear. Healing is based entirely on the “weak link” concept. In every individual there is only one primary weak link that the autonomic nervous system is most concerned with beyond all others. Once this “link” has been properly identified and treated, the next weakness is exposed and so on until all the weak links are remedied. The concept is very similar to the “layers of the onion” theory of healing, except for one crucial factor. When exposing the onion layers of disorder utilizing conventional diagnostic techniques, there can be literally thousands of layers. Most of these layers, however, are unimportant. Actually, of the thousands of layers existing in the average individual there are only a few on the physical and the psychological levels that are really important. The process discovered by Dr. Easley enables an effective approach for identifying and treating the most significant layers. It is this process that also forms the foundation of the Market Concept that begins with the book entitled “Taming the Wild Ride”.

It proposes that all emotional and psychological negativity originates from the physical body. It describes in detail the process for improving self-destructive psychological traits by healing the physical origins. By healing the physical body the negativity resolves itself. As the mind heals, the healing of the associated physical disorders will then respond further thereby completing the circle and affirming the healing. This is a concept that can be considered revolutionary for a large percentage of the population since most of us have been trained in the theory that most illness and problems stem from abnormal psychological patterns. Some will reject the entire concept, some will challenge it and some will want to pursue the concept and get well. Ultimately, it makes no difference what we theorize as practitioners the body has functioned the same for thousands of years. It is our responsibility to understand it correctly.

SYMPTOM INTRODUCTION

We are all familiar with; “I had all the lab tests and evaluations and was told there was nothing wrong.” Natural medicine thrives because of this dilemma in orthodox medical practices. As natural physicians, we are responsible for making subclinical determinations that form the true foundation for preventative medicine. Over the past hundred years or so There have been hundreds of techniques developed over to assist in making subclinical conclusions but there is only one that has survived for over four thousand years.
