Post traumatic stress disorder is basically an emotional meltdown whenever a past traumatic event is remembered. Emotional freedom technique keeps energy flowing through the body when the event is remembered. It is not a medical treatment. There is no counseling involved. The theory behind EFT is that when the energy flow is blocked, it triggers a negative response from the body. Prevent the energy blockage; prevent the negative response.

I've used emotional freedom technique to clear up post traumatic stress disorder a number of times now. I have found it to be amazingly effective.

The first time I had just barely learned the technique. A friend of mine (who is a bit of a hippy-type so I knew she would go along with the strange tapping and words) had arrived at church in tears. Her children had been taken away by the police and put into foster care the night before. She could hardly talk; she couldn't stop crying.

I lead her through the tapping for a couple of rounds. She totally calmed down. She was amazed that she could talk about it and tell us everything that happened.

I have used it with two women who had been raped repeatedly as children and teenagers. When we were done, they no longer blamed themselves and viewed the rapist as a very sick man. They could talk about it unemotionally.

I have used it other times very successfully. When it doesn't work, it is usually because the body is too toxic that the energy just does not flow even with repeated efforts at EFT. Heavy metal toxicity can be the problem. I find that CEDS is very helpful at finding toxins that may be causing a problem.

Clearing up emotions and improving health is like peeling an onion. The body is protective and will only reveal a little bit at a time. It would be nice if we could just do something once and our problems are all solved.

Emotional freedom technique has been used with Vietnam War veterans. Gary Craig demonstrated his technique in his teaching videos. I used the same technique with the rape victims.

There are many practitioners who use EFT. Emotion Code is also very good. Search the Internet and I'm sure you can find someone in your area.

BE AWARE: The electrodermal testing devices have not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for assessment of nutritional deficiencies, food allergies, the presence of toxins, Candida, Epstein Barr virus, or the weakness of organs and glands. Use of the device for these purposes is inconsistent with FDA approval. The galvanic skin response device  is a Class II device that may be used for lie detection and for biofeedback.

There are no generally accepted completed clinical studies which demonstrate that the electrodermal testing devices are effective when used to assess for nutritional deficiencies, the presence of toxins, food allergies, Candida, Epstein Barr virus, and the strength or weakness of organs and glands.

Your child's exposure to lead or heavy metals cannot be determined solely through electrodermal testing.

You should not make decisions about your or your child's health and nutritional needs from information obtained solely through electrodermal testing.

You are to discuss all CEDS recommendations with your health care provider before implementing any of them. Further, that any recommended dietary changes or dietary supplements based partly on the results of electrodermal testing should all be discussed with your family physician before implementing any of them.

There are medical tests for many, if not all of the issues that  respondents use electrodermal testing to assess, and  you are strongly encouraged to confirm the exposures identified through standard medical testing if you or your family physician feel that it is necessary. I make no claims that the screenings find anything other than energy imbalances or that the energized water or other products actually do anything other than help balance energy.

You and God are the only ones who can heal you.
