On another occasion, a woman came in wanting me to help her with her problem of excessive and prolonged menstrual bleeding. I did a complete workup and history, and at her request, called Caroline. Caroline asked, “What did she tell you about her two abortions?” The patient had never mentioned the two abortions, and when I asked her about that, she got up and ran out of the room and was not interested in any further therapy. Denial is not a river in Africa!
On an earlier occasion, I was working with a fifty-year-old man who had severe, chronic, low back pain. Physically, he had had surgery on his lower back at the fourth and fifth lumbar discs, which was where, along with the upper sacrum, he experienced pain. Theoretically and medically, the pain should have come from the facet joints on either side, between L4 and L5. But, when I needled those areas, it did not reproduce his pain. I called Bob Leichtman, and he said, “I think you ought to try at L2.” When I put the needles onto the facets at L2-3, the patient said, “That's it, Doc,” and I was then able to relieve his pain by numbing those two joints.
Finally, and perhaps this is one of the most striking cases that I treated, was a man in his early sixties who was exquisitely depressed. He had some pain but depression was much more of a problem than the pain. His history was that he had been driving along an interstate highway, came up over a hill, and ran into a car that was actually parked across his path. The man in the car was already dead, having hit five head of cattle before my patient arrived there; and although the police and coroner determined that the man in the car had been dead before my patient hit that car, he had extreme guilt. I tried everything in my power to help him out of his depression, with no success. So, I called Caroline, again with the patient present, as I have always done, and she said, “If he does not come out of this funk within a year, he will have bowel cancer.” That was in July. He had no symptoms, but in November of that year, he was operated on for cancer of the bowel. He recovered. He was still depressed the following February, and I called Caroline again. She said, “If he does not come out of his depression, he will die in August.” After my discussion with Caroline, I told him exactly what she said. I shook him and told him that he was going to be sitting next to a widow if he didn't come out of it and did not respond any more than he had to everything else we had done. August of that year came, and the patient was admitted to the hospital with a pulmonary embolus, a blood clot from the legs to the chest, but he did not die. One year later, on August 31, he died. I had not asked her which August!
These are striking examples of excellent intuitive medical diagnoses. I would like to discuss my own major intuitive ability, which I think is creating scientific solutions to various health problems. In the late 1970s, I was invited to drive from La Crosse up to Minneapolis to discuss consciousness with Buck Charlson, the wonderful genius of hydraulics, with which we began this chapter. Once a month I would drive up for a long afternoon of discussions about the broad field of consciousness. In 1982, when I moved form La Crosse to Springfield, those visits ceased, but in 1987, Buck wrote a letter, stating, “If you would do a study to determine whether crystals could be helpful in healing, I will fund it.” I spent almost a year and one half wondering how to study crystals, and then, with sudden intuitive insight, it was obvious: quarts crystals are piezoelectric. Piezoelectric means that when you put physical pressure on a substance, it responds with an electrical current. Quartz crystal is one of the premier piezoelectric materials, but our skeleton, muscles, tendons, and even intestines are also highly piezoelectric. I reasoned that if we gave individuals a programmed quartz crystal, it would help keep them out of depression. We already knew by that time that one of my earlier intuitive hits would treat depression with great success.
In 1975, I discovered that one of the electrical stimulators, called the Pain Suppressor, developed by Saul Liss, created a sense of a visual flicker when applied transcranially. We did studies on it and demonstrated that this stimulus significantly raised both serotonin and endorphins. At the same time, we were using photostimulation to help such patients relax, and we found that in more than thirty thousand patients, when we combined the Liss stimulator transcranially and the photostimulation (which later became the Shealy RelaxMate), we could get 85 percent of patients out of depression successfully within two weeks without drugs. So, we put the patients through our typical treatment for depression, daily stimulation with the Liss stimulator, and education of the various aspects of stress management, and so on. At the end of the two weeks, at least 80 percent of the patients were out of depression. On the last day, in a double-blind study, they were given either a quartz crystal or a glass crystal. They programmed the crystal by passing it through a flame, to get rid of any stored energy, and then blowing into the crystal three times while imagining their ideal of being free of depression. They also used a short healing phrase, not more than six words, which we had worked with them on during the two-week program. They went home with no further therapy. At the end of three months, they came back. Seventy percent of those who had quartz crystals, but only 28 percent of those who had glass crystals, were still out of depression. That is statistically significant at the 0.001 level. Over the next ten years, Buck continued to fund research projects that grew out of that particular one and led to my discovering that 90 percent of individuals are deficient in magnesium; initially we gave everyone intravenous magnesium. Much later, I discovered through my own intuition that magnesium chloride is absorbed through the skin better than it is orally. We discovered that virtually all depressed people are deficient in 1 to 7 essential amino acids and 86 percent are deficient in taurine— one of the most important amino acids— which works synergistically with magnesium to maintain the electrical charge on cells.
In the early 90s, I was told by a guide with whom I had verbal communication that “within five years you will have tools to regrow an eye, a limb, or the spinal cord.” Now, you know you are crazy when you get that kind of message! Shortly thereafter, I was invited to go to Kiev in the Ukraine to study microwave resonance therapy, which they had been using since 1982, treating more than 200,000 patients with a wide variety of disorders. They stated that they had “discovered” that human DNA resonates at 54 to 78 billion cycles/second, or Giga Hertz (GHz). I was trained in their technology, but they wanted $700,000 for fourteen of the devices to bring back to the United States. When I got home, I called my friend Saul Liss, an engineer, and asked him how to produce giga frequencies. He said that all you have to do is pass a high voltage through a spark gap. Here again is how intuition works. In that instant, I suddenly recalled the work of Georges Lakhovsky, which I had read back in the 70s. At least twenty years earlier, I had had his book The Secret of Life (published originally in this country in 1935). I looked it up and saw the Lakhovsky multiwave oscillator, which consisted of two coils of coiled copper tubing, placed three feet apart, looking like a maze. He attached to that a Tesla Coil and treated more than three hundred patients between 1939 and 1942. He reported great success in curing cancer and other illnesses. He was killed in 1942 and the work had never been restarted.
Shortly after that, while I was in Holland doing a couple of workshops, I was out jogging and suddenly had an image of a copper pyramid above a small copper room. The next night my guide came and said, “Where do you think that image you got yesterday came from?” I replied that I thought it was mine. The guide replied, “I put it there.” When I got home, I got permission from our Institutional Review Board to treat seventy-five patients in a small room that I had constructed with copper on the lower walls and a copper pyramid above, with quartz and amethyst at the top of the pyramid. Then the copper pyramid was activated by a Tesla Coil attached to the copper tubing. We treated seventy-five patients; twenty-five each with chronic back pain, rheumatoid arthritis, or depression—all of which had failed conventional therapy. We had them sit in the pyramid for one hour, five days a week, for two weeks.
