We no longer have the Quantum Biofeedback System at the Clinic.
The Northshore Naturopathic Clinic has recently added biofeedback sessions with a Certified Quantum Biofeedback Specialist. Now you may ask, since the Eating Alive Program is so successful at helping people with their health issues, why would we need biofeedback sessions? Well, the Eating Alive Program is great for dealing with diet, digestion, and liver problems and getting these under control generally provides relief of most or all health complaints.
The whole digestive system is supplied with energy from the parasympathetic nervous system. The skeletal muscles get their nerve energy from the sympathetic nervous system and the “spark plugs” are the adrenal glands. The adrenals normally secrete hormones which help maintain mineral and sugar levels. In emergencies, however, they secrete a powerful hormone called adrenalin which shunts energy away from the parasympathetic nervous system (digestive and lymphatic systems), and sends it outwards via the sympathetic nervous system to the skeletal muscles so that you can fight or flee from danger.
Many people with chronic, stubborn health problems are suffering from adrenal overload. They are locked in the “fight or flight” response of the sympathetic nervous system. In cases like this, biofeedback sessions can be very helpful to bring the body back to the parasympathetic system so that you can be more calm and relaxed.
Biofeedback is also very helpful for other health problems that may have underlying emotional issues that have not been addressed. Please read this month’s Health Tip for more information on the Quantum Biofeedback System, also called EPFX.
