Fortunately “We” Don’t Remain Powerless!

In the same Reflection, at almost 90 and still going strong mentally, Art Janov makes two unusual and sensational concessions, which feels like a kind of an oxymoron. The concessions made in connection with the pleasing bulletin that he, after 40 years, can speak without pain due to that he finally gave up his mental resistance against naturopath treatment. The two concessions I speak of is 

A.; that after 17 books, to be published in 26 countries, none of the world's many hundred thousand shrinks has come and wanted to know more about the revolutionary work that Art has done. 

B.; The therapist oriented therapies have the power and we the patient remain powerless. 

Is Art saying that he finally understands, which is how I interpret it, that he has not been approached by other shrinks due to a mental resistance similar to his own?

However, we didn’t have to remain powerless. We could contact a curly shrink in LA and enroll in his Primal Institute. There we could pick up tips about the Rolfing Institute in Boulder. That way we could get the stones rolling and back in Europe we could ally ourselves with a homeopath and get help to provoke our unexploded childhood infections. Well into that journey we met on different occasions a couple of female diet- and health-gurus, Alma Nissen and Julia Völdan. They were of the same stature as Art Janov, Ida Rolf and Alice Miller and during their lifetime they saved many more lives than they ever got credit for. They were both so good that several doctors with speciality in cancer, endocrine disorders etc., in sheer despair turned to them to seize the last straw.

Even if most of the above geniuses / icons in natural cure of childhood traumas and neurotic abuse of unlimited nature and extent, now, are dead and / or far from their prime, new free spirits will develop. They will be driven by personal “10.000 hour” experiences, like Ida Rolf and Alice Miller, which are registered in their subconscious, transmitting guiding health signals “bottom up” to their neocortex to be forwarded “to whom it may concern”.

I have already met a few of this new breed with a natural talent for feelings emanating from deep down. I hope only that they like Art Janov can hold out and find enough informed patients, who have gone tired of the Big Pharma and the part of the health institutions which are solely driven by a neurotic, too short term and capitalistic approach.
