Medical Intuition


I am a firm believer in the Mind/Body/Spirit connection. To me that means: there are no secrets, or secret knowledge within myself. I can know, I do know what is right for me. I am my own medical intuitive. But the difficult part is learning to honestly listen inward, and to not be distracted by ego preferences, or the voices of societal expectations. I should never abdicate my life to an outside “authority.” And it is essential to develop my intuitive, listening skills.

The term medical intuitive was first coined by Dr. Norm Shealy, along with Caroline Myss. Many medical intuitives ‘see’ within the body systems in great detail and determine primarily the causes of physical disease. Occasionally, they work with doctors in clinical settings to assist in intuiting what current technology cannot yet see.

According to the Subtle Energy Center a medical intuitive is a psychic or intuitive counselor who specializes in perceiving information concerning the human body. Intuitive counselors date back to the ancient Egyptian Imhotep and the Greek Asclepius. The Delphi Oracles in Greece were consulted for personal and health concerns. More recently, in the United States, during the 19th century Phineas Parkhurst Quimby practiced intuitive healing starting in 1854. Edgar Cayce was the most well-known medical clairvoyant in the United States during of the early 20th century. Perhaps the most well-known medical intuitive, currently, is Caroline Myss.
In my pursuit to develop my intuitive abilities, I searched out some good books:
1    Become a Medical Intuitive: The Complete Developmental Course (Nov 1, 2014)
by Tina M. Zion.

 Medical Medium: Secrets Behind Chronic and Mystery Illness and How to Finally Heal
(Nov 10, 2015) by Anthony Williams

3    Medical Medium Life-Changing Foods: Save Yourself and the Ones You Love with the HiddeHealing Powers of Fruit (Nov 8, 2016) by Anthony Williams

These books have helped me tremendously. Because I was raised in my parent’s house to doubt myself, I have a daily battle between my childhood conditioning versus the educated adult I am today. (This is my personal psychology, which is very real and not the point of this article.) Anthony William’s book especially has helped validated what I have always known intuitively. I would suggest that one could read these books and gain so much, even if the only reason to do so is to find personal validation. Some would not find the concept of being a medical intuitive appealing.

I am currently reading Zion’s book as an over-view before settling in to do the exercises. Tina Zion is described as a fourth-generation psychic medium, specializing in medical intuition. She is certified in mental health nursing from the American Nurses Credentialing Association. She is also a Gestalt trained counselor, from the Indianapolis Gestalt Institute in 1997. She has certification in clinic hypnotherapy and specialized in past life regressions.

Zion’s book is a complete training experience. This step-by-step approach is meant to intensify psychic abilities and develop your x-ray perception. Exercises will train the reader to 1. Physically see like an x-ray machine; 2. Take charge of your energy field; 3. Learn how imagination and intuition work together; 4. Develop inner sight for the deeper cause of illness; 5. See, feel, and sense the entire person on all levels; 6. Understand the electromagnetic energy of thought and emotion; 7. Receive the pure essence of someone's life story; 8. use medical intuition as a healing technique; 9. Understand and use the "knowing" you have; 10. Inform without diagnosing; 11. Identify general areas and organs of the human body; 12. Assess auric colors for vibrational accuracy; 13. Review actual case studies and assessments to learn from them.

Since age four, Anthony William has conversed with a high-level Spirit who has provided him with accurate health information that's often far ahead of its time. Anthony uses his gift to "read" people's conditions and tell them how to recover their health. His unprecedented accuracy as a medical medium and success rate have earned him the trust and love of countless people from all walks of life. With insights from Spirit, William is often an invaluable resource to physicians who need help solving some of their most difficult cases.

Anthony William’s biography tells us that as a medical medium he has helped tens of thousands of people heal from ailments which have been misdiagnosed, ineffectively treated, or that doctors were unable to resolve. William listens to a divine Spiritual voice that literally speaks into his ear and explains to him what lies at the root of the individual’s pain or illness. He is told what his client’s need to do to restore their health.

The book Medical Medium reveals the root causes of many diseases and conditions that medical communities currently misunderstand or struggle to understand at all. The book suggests all-natural solutions for dozens of the illnesses that plague us, including Lyme disease, fibromyalgia, adrenal fatigue, chronic fatigue syndrome, hormonal imbalances, Hashimoto’s disease, multiple sclerosis, depression, neurological conditions, chronic inflammation, autoimmune disease, blood-sugar imbalances, colitis and other digestive disorders, and more. There are several chapters that offer solutions for restoring the soul and spirit. Chronic illness can grind away at our emotional fabric and leave us feeling betrayed by our own body.

Medical Medium Life-Changing Foods delves into the healing power of fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices. Wild foods, in particular, have an extraordinarily positive effect on health. He explains each food’s properties, as well as, the symptoms and conditions it relieves. He also discusses the emotional and spiritual benefits of each. The book also contains many recipes that enhance each food’s maximum health benefit.

Willliam explains why we need to include more fruit in our diet and how many current, trendy diet plans are keeping us from achieving optimum health. He describes wild blueberries as the “resurrection food,” asparagus as the fountain of youth, and lemons as the best choice to lift your spirits when faced with bad news. He identifies the best foods to relieve gallstones, hypertension, brain fog, thyroid issues, migraines, as well as, dozens of symptoms and conditions. He discusses how fruit has an important role in enhancing fertility.

Stomach Pain and Gallbladder


Generally the gallbladder doesn't cause too many problems or give us much concern. But it can be a scary experience if you pass a larger gallstone. The pain may be intense enough to make a person faint. Passing a gallstone typically occurs within an hour of eating a meal.

A large gallstone that blocks a duct in your digestive track is experienced as a sudden, increasing pain in your right upper abdomen. Pain may be felt in the center of the abdomen, or as traveling into the back under the shoulder blades and into the right shoulder. The pain can last from a few minutes to a few hours. In extreme cases, you may experience a yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes, as well as a high fever.
Most gallstones are extremely tiny, and are passed from the body without notice. They are pebble-like deposits of bile, or cholesterol, which formed in the gallbladder as part of the digestion process. However, if you develop a really large gallstone, which causes extreme pain as it passes through the body, you need to seek medical help immediately.
If the gallstone is blocking a bile duct, the size of the stone will dictate if surgery is needed to remove it from your body. Another option a physician may use is to dissolve the gallstone with oral medication.
There are several gallbladder conditions that have similar symptoms. The different types of gallbladder problems have common symptoms and start with pain in the upper abdominal area, either in the upper right or middle.

Common symptoms of Gallbladder Conditions:

Severe abdominal pain

Pain that may extend beneath the right shoulder blade or to the back
Pain that worsens after eating a meal, particularly fatty or greasy foods
Pain that feels dull, sharp, or crampy
Pain that increases when you breathe in deeply
Chest pain
Heartburn, indigestion, and excessive gas
A feeling of fullness in the abdomen
Vomiting, nausea, fever
Shaking with chills
Tenderness in the abdomen, particularly the right upper quadrant
Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes)
Stools of an unusual color (often lighter, like clay)

A medical diagnosis by a physician will identify whether you have a temporary case of gallstones, or if you have developed gallbladder disease. The correct diagnosis gives you the information needed to decide between alternative treatments or allopathic treatments.
Gallstones (cholelithiasis). This condition occurs when small stones, or sometimes larger ones, develop inside the gallbladder and cause pain known as biliary colic. However, 90 percent of people with gallstones will have no symptoms.

Biliary colic is a severe episodes of pain caused by gallstone blockage of the cystic duct. The gallbladder contracts against the blockage, causing spasmodic (or sometimes constant) severe pain. Biliary colic usually last only an hour or two and may infrequently or years apart.

Inflamed gallbladder (cholecystitis) is caused by gallstones, excessive alcohol use, infections, or even tumors that cause bile buildup. However, the most common cause of is gallstones. Gallstone irritation may cause the gallbladder walls to become swollen and painful. Inflammation episode may last for several hours, or even a few days. The sluggish, inflamed gallbladder may be invaded by intestinal bacteria, and becomes infected. When a gallbladder actually ruptures, this is a surgical emergency. Cholecystitis always requires medical attention, particularly if fever is present.

Dysfunctional gallbladder or chronic gallbladder disease. The gallbladder becomes rigid and scarred repeated episodes of inflammation and gallstones. Symptoms are constant and include abdominal fullness, indigestion, increased gas, and chronic diarrhea after meals throughout the day.

Lifestyle, Diet and Home Remedies

  • Eliminate fatty and greasy foods in your diet---foods high in cholesterol can result in the accumulation cholesterol in your bile that could result in more gallstones.

  • Avoid fatty beef or pork--- stick to lean meats and consume plenty of fish, turkey and poultry.

  • Avoid peppers and chili peppers -- spicy foods can lead to increased gallbladder attacks and intense pain.

  • Avoid condiments such as mayonnaise and using excessive.

  • Avoid junk foods (chips, cookies and cakes) and high-fat diary products, such as ice cream.

  • Increase Vitamin C intake---helps in breaking down cholesterol accumulation in your body, which breaks down stones to allow them to easily pass through your stool.

  • Increase water intake per day will help in passing gallstones--try to drink at least one glass of water every hour.

  • Eat foods rich in fiber---which helps regulates bowel movement.

  • One should eat a healthy diet, lose weight slowly (not abruptly), and maintain the healthy weight.

  • Application of hot pack (caster oil pack) in the upper abdominal area can relieve the pain.

  • Administer a warm water enema to eliminate fecal accumulations for those constipated patients.

  • Doing physical exercises are needed to facilitate peristalsis.

Inflamed Gallbladder Diet

  • Drink beet, carrot, lemon, grape, grapefruit, and pear juices.

  • Eat moderate amounts of cooked vegetables and add more slightly raw cooked veggies.

  • Avoid eating the following: fats, eggs, meat, spices, pickles, coffee, sugary products, and fried, greasy, processed foods.

  • Eat frequent small meals rather than having 3 larger meals a day.

Consult your physician for an accurate diagnosis and treatment recommendations before beginning an herbal regimen. Certain herbs may help gallbladder disease, gallstones or other stressors on your gallbladder. Some herbs also improve liver function.
Herbs used for gallbladder conditions:
Milk Thistle
According to the University of Michigan Health System, milk thistle in capsule or tablet form may help to prevent gallstones. A study found that taking 420 mg of the silymarin contained in milk thistle helps decrease the cholesterol levels in bile, which helps prevent gallstones from forming. The University of Maryland Medical Center recommends taking 80 mg to 160 mg of standardized milk thistle seed extract two to three times daily for liver and gallbladder support
Coffee
Coffee helps prevent gallbladder disease. Two large studies published in The Journal of the American Medical Association, June 1999, showed men who consumed the most caffeinated coffee (more than four cups per day) had the lowest risk of gallbladder disease. In a separate study published in December 2002 in Gastroenterology, researchers found caffeinated coffee protects against gallbladder disease.
Peppermint
According to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, peppermint oil may help to dissolve gallstones. Preliminary studies have found that taking peppermint or other essential plant oils helps dissolve gallstones over the course of several months            
Artichoke
The University of Maryland Medical Center has found taking an extract from the globe artichoke leaves may support the gallbladder and liver. The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center reports the artichoke leaf may help gallbladder contraction, which pushes out the gallstones. Take 250 mg to 500 mg two to three times per day of standardized globe artichoke extract to support gallbladder function,
Turmeric
Turmeric is also used in Germany for gallbladder pain according to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center take 300 mg three times daily of standardized turmeric extract to support your liver and gallbladder.
Dandelion
The University of Michigan Health System says dandelion helps to treat gallstone related gallbladder pain. Dandelion root contains bitter compounds that stimulate bile production in the gallbladder and helps the body in processing fats.

Warning: certain herbs that help expel gallstones may be risky because the gallstones could lodge in the bile ducts and rupture.
