What matters is to focus. 

When I read “What Really Counts” in your latest Reflection I enjoy the first paragraphs that describe how a fully feeling experience is shaped as we relive painful events from our childhood, which have become imprinted in our systems and caused depression, panic, anxiety and many other symptoms that made our lives miserable. In your typical simple, natural way you describe the ingenious principles of Primal Therapy. These principles, applied correctly and with neutral guidance allows us to drain the pain out of our subconscious archives, live them in the present and integrate them and liberate us from being controlled by our pain-propelled neuroses. 

In the treatments and therapies which I have combined, Primal Therapy has been my “Operating System”. Complementary treatments such as physical integration, diets, etc., have been my “applications” that work in cooperation with my PT/OS. Sometimes the “applications” stimulate the PT/OS but as a rule, no permanent cure occur unless the OS/PT lead to that all levels (3rd, 2nd and 1st lines) in the brain beeing involved.

If I had not started this process 40 years ago, I had probably been dead today, either by committing suicide, had a stroke, heart attack or an asthma attack. Slowly - as I could feel / integrate repressed pain - my life slid over from being controlled by neurotic / unreal needs to be driven by real needs. My need for painkillers such as sugar, cigarettes, work, medication was reduced gradually as my immune system and my vital signs improved eventually and I was free from constant allergy and anxiety / suicide attacks.

You bring up the harm being caused to our physical systems later in life and you mention eg heart problems and cancer being two of humanity’s most common diseases. You describe the first line damages as heavy and deleterious creating an early vulnerbility which, however, only become apparent a few decades later and that also could be the beginning of the development of cancer.

You present, to my surprise, plans to start cancer research in order to develop stem cell-like methods to increase a cancer patient’s Natural Killer cells. My astonishment is of course not your ambitious aim of reducing cancer patient’s suffering and develop a more effective treatment with reduced side effects. No, my confusion is that you as innovator of the principles of Primal Therapy give up your focus on developing, to perfection, these important treatment methods, that have repeatedly shown to have beneficial effects on the immune system, in which Natural Killer cells are included.

It is easy to understand that you are tempted to apply for a portion of the ample resources that cancer research gets. However, I had hoped that the research would focus on the use of primal principles, to reach the point where  

it become a public and obvious leader as “operating system” being the first accepted science of psychotherapy. A coordinated cooperation with other methods / “applications” (eg cancer treatement) would be the basis for a healthy and curative life-style that stimulates our organisms to maintain the immun function and Natural Killer cells in good shape. A separate manipulation of NK cells, independent of PT, in my logic, is an additional non-curative, no-long-term symptomatic treatment.

An affordable version of cancer research may be, with Primal Therapy as “Operating System”, to conduct a test together with a serious health institution carrying on diets and fasting to restore overtaxed immune system to cure cancer. Several of these health institutions / spas often reach astounding success and prolong life significantly for many patients, who of neurotic reasons have had a lifestyle that after enough time lead to the development of tumors. In this way, the “emotional archives” can be cleared of unconscious memories and pain (by PT), while a lifestyle is introduced that eliminates toxic substances and enables a human organism to work as it was originally intended to. Here we can speak of a Frame of Reference with good prospects for a curative effekt and a new treatment paradigm.

My ideas have support, admittedly biased, from an academic research and training specialist!
