The Explanation Behind Seemingly Unexplained Symptoms

Emotional or mental distress can weaken the immune system. With a weakened immune system, one can then more easily get an infectious disease. This is a well-known finding of the science of psycho-neuro-immunology, the study of the interaction between the nervous and immune systems and their relationship with the mind and health. Although the traditional medical model suggests that infectious diseases are caused by micro-organisms, the precipitating event of getting an infectious disease is often a psychological stress weaking the immune system. On the other hand, experiencing a physical stress, such as whiplash from a car accident, often leads a person to feeling depressed. Physical and emotional reactions can stem from either physical or emotional causes, or both. The cause of an unwanted condition is best seen as a sequence of various causal influences, from both physical and emotional categories. However, the link between these experiences and unwanted conditions often goes unnoticed.

The best approach to improving such a condition usually addresses the various emotional and physical factors. Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR) is a recognized technique for treating an array of traumas and is effective in handling the negative effects of these incidents, including the physical effects. In some cases, chiropractors have referred people who had been in motor-vehicle accidents to TIR facilitators to hasten the body’s healing process. Thus, maximum improvement of an unwanted condition which may appear to be mostly physical can often be obtained by dealing with multiple approaches.

For instance, Jason experienced intermittent deep fatigue and tried a multi-factored approach medical with blood testing, chelation of mercury and lead, nutritional supplements, and TIR. Jason’s fatigue gradually improved until it was no longer a problem. Various drugs and nutritional supplements gave Susan minor temporary relief towards the pain in her shoulder that would not improve. Through TIR, she recalled a forgotten incident which had produced a physical strain and a slightly earlier incident which was life-disruptive and worrying. TIR seemed to provide Susan with some relief and her shoulder pain gradually lessened before finally disappearing.

Oftentimes a person will try only one therapy and get minor or no lasting relief. For physical traumas: drugs, nutritional supplements, chiropractic, massage therapy, physiotherapy, and exercise are just a few of the many therapies which may be incorporated in an effective program. TIR offers relief for emotional traumas, alongside other approaches including connecting with others or simply working hard to resolve a situation, like applying to more companies for a new job. A multi-factored healing approach, including TIR, can often be more successful than using a single remedy.
