Just got back from the Annual Anti-Aging Conference in Orlando. Officially this is known as A4M 17th Annual World Congress on Anti-Aging. There is some really amazing stuff happening in anti-aging research that we’ll be covering here at Enjoy A Better World. In general, vendors at the conference fell into the following categories.
- Machines That Make You Beautiful. This included everything from small, inexpensive hand held gizmos that you move across your face to $80,000 fractal laser systems that literally burn little holes in your face. These all work, but there is a lot to choose from.
- Supplements. As you can imagine there were a ton of different supplements. The big winners at the conference were Vitamin D3 and colloidial silver. There were a number of different vendors with new D3 and silver products.
- Other Machines. There were machines for improving energy in the body. This is awesome because this was a show for MDs.
- Other Stuff. Everything from far infrared saunas to chi vibration machines.
The Really Cool Stuff
You can tell the things that I think are really great by what I was willing to put some cash down on the table for. Here they are…
Needleless Acupuncture
Health Recovery Chips are a way to derive the benifits of acupuncture without having needles stuck into you. These are little octoganal stones a little bigger than a quarter made of jade and crystal. You just use a piece of surgical tape and tape them to the skin. That’s it. The amazing thing is that you begin to feel a noticable heat where you put the stone. It’s amazing. They come with a complete book about how to use them for different conditions. The chips are a little pricey, but the manufacturer claims that they will last at least 5 years being used 5 times a day or more. In the long term they are worth the money.
Sunlight Saunas
Far infrared saunas are great for your health. They are particularly fantastic for detox. A whole lot of toxins come out of your body in perspiration. These saunas are really nice because you can set them up anywhere… even in your living room. No tools are required for assembly or disassembly. They snap together and use magnets to keep everything attached. They use a unique carbon heating element that produces a much nicer heat than the typical ceramic heaters in other saunas. If you are on a budget, they also make a 1 person sauna. It fits on top of a massage table… a little like a pup tent on top of the table. If you just want the sauna benefits then the 1 person saunas work well. But let’s face it, it’s a whole lot more fun to turn a sauna into a social event.
If you are interested, drop me a note at ron@enjoyabetterworld.com and I will be happy to get you in touch with the manufacturers rep.
Standing on the Earth – without Earth
A lot of energy practitioners talk about the benefits of standing on the earth in bare feet. Well, there is actually some research that shows it really is beneficial. There is stress reduction and cortisol reduction [by the way cortisol reduction can mean weight loss]. Now there is a product that is like a bed sheet that uses the ground wiring in the house to put you in touch with the earth while you sleep. I am amazed at how well this works. In the morning I fell dramatically energized and refreshed. The research shows reduction in inflamation and pain, improved range of motion and better sleep. The product is named Barefoot Connections. More on this product later.
Watch for posts from the anti-aging conference.

The western medicine theory of disease
In western medicine, you get sick when germs and viruses invade your body and start growing. The germs and viruses are attacked by anti-bodies in your immune system and those anti-bodies are helped along by modern drugs. Diseases may also arise from genetic causes… and again, prescription medications are the approach taken to find a cure. You may also have something wrong with you structurally, and, of course the solution is surgery or radiation. Generally speaking people are content to use western medicine for things like common colds. They only turn to other approaches when the western treatments either don’t work or scare the heck out of them.
The Chinese Medicine theory of disease
We learned that in the human energy field, subtle energy rules over dense matter and that means that in energetic medicine disease begins IN the human energy field. The Chinese Medicine point of view is that the body is naturally protected by a special type of energy called the Wei Qi. You can think of the Wei Qi as an energetic shield for the body like the energy shields of the starship Enterprise. The energetic information from diseases cannot reach the physical body when the Wei Qi is strong, but when it’s weak, the energetic information from diseases can reach your physical body and the bacteria and viruses physically manifest and flourish in your body. That’s the Chinese Medicine explanation of why we sometimes get sick and sometimes don’t even though bacteria and viruses are constantly present.
The Wei Qi becomes weak because of energy imbalances in the main or extraordinary meridians that are caused by energy flow that is too weak, too strong, blocked or reversed. When those energy imbalances are restored to normal, the Wei Qi is also restored and the physical manifestations of disease go away. Energy imbalance in the meridians results from a combination of External Factors penetrating the Wei Qi and Internal factors like Improper Diet, Physical Toxins, Improper Exercise, Overwork, and Stress. There is a lot more to Chinese Medicine theories of disease, but right now I want to extend this Chinese Model of disease based on energy.
The Energetic Medicine theory of disease
What about the shushumna channel and seven chakras? Typical Chinese Medicine texts make notice of a connection between the physical organs and their meridian and emotional and mental states, but they really don’t discuss the underlying mechanism because Traditional Chinese Medicine ignores the energy bodies, the chakras and the shushuma channel. Like the meridians, the flow of energetic information in the chakras can be too weak, excessive, blocked or even reversed. Energetic medicine practitioners can restore the natural balance of energy here too.
Recall that the key component of an energy signal is the information it contains. In fact, the human energy system is in a state of constant energetic information exchange within itself and with the world, and part of the information that is received is the energetic blueprint for the body. When the shushumna and chakra system is out of balance, the information passing through the chakras is distorted. That may lead to actual physical diseases like structural or genetic damage. Distortions might also manifest as what amounts to a disease anywhere in the human energy field… and they cause further distortions. The distorted information propagates through the entire human energy field and might manifest as dis-ease anywhere. Energy healing consists of balancing energy in the main and extraordinary meridians, balancing energy flow in the chakras, ensuring the proper flow of energy in the main Shushumna channel, and removing distortions from anywhere in the entire human energy field.
One final thought on the energetic model… but it’s really important because, frankly, it addresses something that western medical theories cannot even touch…
In a sense, the energetic model might say we are normally in a state of dis-ease. That’s because our higher spiritual energies are not generally in balance with the universe… but energetic approaches to healing also provide for the possibility of spiritual unfolding. We are in a natural state of energetic balance with the universe if only we rid ourselves of the energetic garbage.
Video A – The Basics of Chinese Medicine
Chinese Medicine has been around for thousands of years and has been continuously practiced and documented for 2,500 years. But it comes from a completely different point of view from Western Medicine. Instead of focusing on biology and chemistry, Chinese Medicine puts emphasis on the balance and harmony of the flow of energy in the body. Yet, despite this major departure from the medicine style of the West, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine are equally effective at treating disease.
Video B – Chakras and Meridians
Chinese Medicine describes the flow of energy in the body as being like the flow in energy rivers. They are called the 12 main meridians. There are also vessels for storing energy known as the 8 extraordinary meridians. Yet, Traditional Chinese Medicine does not work with the energy system of the chakras. The meridians, chakras, and main shushumna energy channel must be interconnected and treating any part impacts the whole.
