Dr. Ou's Philosophy of Healing
Dr. Ou's philosophy on natural healing has evolved over his 20 year experience with holistic medicine. (Note that like most ideas of holistic medicine, they are not currently accepted by conventional science.)
- The cause of disease can be grouped into 5 categories:
- Toxins
- Allergens
- Infections
- Stress
- Diet
- Health can be thought of as the spokes of a wheel. 9 of the major spokes include:
- Nutrition
- Immune / Inflammation
- Hormonal
- Digestive
- Detoxification
- Energy metabolism
- Mind and Spirit
- Musculoskeletal
- Body Field - Energy and Information
- When the wheel is bent, usually more than 1 spoke is involved. For healing to occur, all of these 9 spokes need to be evaluated and restored to normal over time. Many systems of conventional and alternative medicine fail when they only know how to address a couple of the spokes and not others.
- Changing the tension on one spoke can affect all of the other spokes. Every part of the body is connected to and affects every other part. This is another major reason why other systems of healing are often unsuccessful.
- The results of genuine healing should be a consistent decrease in the need for medications and supplements, an increased sense of well-being on both a physical and mental level, and increased resistance to future illness. There should be improvements in energy, pain, hormones, inflammation, sleep, digestion, mental clarity, and immunity.
- According to physics and many systems of traditional healing, a system of energy and information underlies the biochemistry of the physical body. Some call this the body-field. Stressors on the physical body simultaneously damage the body field. Therefore, for optimum healing, damage to the body-field must be corrected as well.
- A good program of healing accomplishes all of the above in a high percentage of people even with serious and complex medical issues with few, if any, adverse effects. This should be done with as few supplements and/or interventions as possible.
- Knowledge from mainstream medicine should be integrated with such programs to monitor or manage severe illnesses. Pharmaceuticals can be used when necessary and phased out safely when they are not.
Overview of the components of the 2010 Natural Healing Program
Based on his research and experience, Dr. Ou introduced his Natural Healing Program in 2008. The systems used in his program are little known, but they are among the very few that a high percentage of his patients report excellent improvements. Dr. Ou is constantly researching new therapies to help his patients. The core components of his 2010 program are:
- Nutri-Energetics Systems® by Peter Fraser and Harry Massey. This computerized system scans the body-field for weaknesses to give guidance on supplements that can correct those weaknesses. He has found it especially useful in supporting those with fatigue, fibromyalgia, migraines, poor sleep, poor digestion, and poor immunity.
- Functional Medicine - This is a science based field of health care that deals with the underlying causes of chronic illnesses. It includes the following
- Assessment of nutrition
- Avoiding foods that interfere with healing such as sugar, high fructose corn, syrup, gluten, artificial sweeteners, and most vegetable oils.
- Assessment of food allergies. Common allergens include wheat, dairy, and corn.
- Assessment of the gut for abnormal bacteria, candida, and parasites.
- Assessment of hormones including adrenal, thyroid, male, and female.
- Assess of toxicity and the liver's ability to detoxify..
- Assessment of inflammation and the immune system
- Assessment of stress
- Using conventional medicine as necessary to optimize health and safety. This can include diagnostic tests, referrals to specialists, and continuing, adding, or reducing medications.
Other components which are useful in certain circumstances include:
- Theragem electronic gem therapy - This device from England emits certain frequencies of light which stimulate healing. Dr. Ou has found this to be particularly useful in the management of pain and generally more effective than acupuncture.
- Matrix Energetics created by Dr. Richard Bartlett. This powerful therapy involves using light touch to stimulate healing. For pain, Dr. Ou has found this technique to be more effective than acupuncture.
- Learning to avoid electromagnetic radiation which interferes with healing, especially that from cordless and cellular phones.
Who is Dr. Ou's Program for?
People see Dr. Ou for many reasons including:
- not being satisfied with the results of conventional or alternative medicine
- frustration of going from specialist to specialist without finding a good diagnosis or treatment for their ailments
- the belief that there are natural alternatives to improving health
- trying to avoid the side effects of conventional medicine
- wanting a medical doctor with experience with what works and what doesn't work in alternative medicine
- wanting to need less medication and therefore saving money
- trying many supplements and alternative therapies, but still with poor health
- trying other detoxification programs or energy treatments, but still with poor health
What is the typical patient who sees Dr. Ou like and how does he approach him/her?
Most of his patients have multiple health issues that mainstream medicine can not address well. They often have a combination of digestive issues such as constipation and reflux, insomnia, depression, fatigue, hormonal imbalances, hypoglycemia, inflammation, allergies, and pain, all at the same time. Many have over a dozen different problems. Most physicians have them on laxatives, sleeping pills, antihistamines, pain pills, blood pressure pills, anti-depressants, etc.
Most of conventional and alternative medicine is unable to approach so many different problems in a single person in an organized manner. Dr. Ou approaches all of his complex patients with one overall concept: something is blocking the healing process.
One of the first steps to reversing the cycle of disease is good nutrition. Most foods in supermarkets and restaurants contribute to the toxic load of the body. The next step is to reverse the widespread damage to the body in the optimum sequence. This is best approached by targeting a few of the weakest areas of the body first because unhealthy bodies usually have limited energy available for healing. With complex patients, working on too many areas or working on low priority areas will accomplish little. Nutri-Energetics Systems and Functional Medicine are useful tools in identifying the areas that need the most help. Without the guidance of such systems, practitioners have to guess what to work on first resulting in inconsistent outcomes.
About Nutri-Energetics Systems® (NES)
Based out of England, this technology was developed by integrating knowledge from Traditional Chinese Medicine with cutting edge biophysics. Most people are used to the idea of working with different systems in the body such as the digestive systems and immune systems. What if there were a master control system that influences and regulates every system in the body? NES research believes it has found such a system and they call it the body-field.
According to NES research, when the body-field is damaged by toxins or stress, then the body loses its ability to heal normally and different systems in the body such as the immune system can begin to malfunction. In fact, NES believes that damage to the body-field occurs years before symptoms develop in the body. NES has developed technology to find weaknesses in the body-field using a computerized scanner and to create supplements called Infoceuticals that can correct those weaknesses. When the weaknesses are corrected, the body’s ability to heal itself is restored.
Patients in the NES program are seen about once a month to undergo a scan to determine which areas of the body-field need to be corrected. Most people start to report improvements in the first few months and maximum improvement is generally seen in about a year. However, chronic and severe problems can take longer.
About Matrix Energetics
Matrix Energetics is a treatment that has largely replaced acupuncture in Dr. Ou’s practice. This is because he has treated thousands of people with acupuncture, but he has found that Matrix Energetics almost always produces better and faster results without using any needles. The treatment involves very gentle touch of certain points on the body to stimulate self-healing.
Matrix Energetics was developed several years ago by Dr. Richard Bartlett. It is rapidly growing in popularity because of its effectiveness and safety with hundreds of new people across the world learning it every month. The most common word that Dr. Ou’s patients use to describe the results is “amazing.” On numerous occasions, people with acute pain who would’ve ordinarily needed narcotic pain medications no longer needed them after a session.
Typically, several treatments done once or twice a week will get most problems under good control. After then, maintenance treatments are often not needed, especially with good nutrition and cleansing.
Which treatment do you need?
During your consultation with Dr. Ou, he’ll make recommendations on what therapies would be best. For almost all people, good nutrition is recommended. He also frequently recommends a combination of Nutri-Energetics and Functional Medicine in most circumstances
Many people seek Dr. Ou just for pain relief and for those people, he frequently recommends Theragem or Matrix Energetics.
