The Healing Code by Dr. Alex Loyd & Dr. Ben Johnson

This is a really good book and I read it in less than 2 days.  About a year ago I heard about Dr. Alex Loyd and the only things that were offered were his packages on his website that were super expensive for me and not within my budget.

I borrowed this book from the library, but had to get on a waiting list to get this book, which took almost 2 months.  Wasn't sure if the book was worth getting or not and if it was quackery or not.  I tend to be a skeptic and need things proven to me first.

Last week I finally bought the book on Amazon:  The Healing Code.  I read through the book in 2 days as I was so fascinated with what was being talked about in the book.  Since I'd heard Dr. Loyd online on webinars, my curiousity was piqued.  However, he kept talking about God and I wasn't sure if he was referring to the God of the Bible or if it was some New Age crap.

Once I got to reading this book, I realized more and more that Dr. Loyd was talking about the God of the Bible.  He talks about issues of the heart, the spiritual heart is the root cause of all sickness, disease and problems in our lives.  He says that these issues create stresses that our body can deal with, but enough of those stresses impede our bodies from functioning as God designed our bodies to, which is to be self-healing.

Those stresses are embedded into all the trillions of cells in our bodies and unless we remove them, they continue to make us sicker.  However, as we address the spiritual issues of the heart like unforgiveness, sabotaging behaviors (harmful actions), wrong beliefs, love vs selfishness, joy vs sadness/depression, peace ve anxiety/fear, patience vs anger/frustration/impatience, kindness vs rejection/harshness, goodness vs not being good enough, trust vs control, humility vs unhealthy pride/arrogance/image control, self control vs loss of control, we are able to remove these blocks and allow our bodies to heal.

This is not a Christian book per se, rather it is a book written by 2 experts in their fields who are Christians.  Healing comes from God and this book does not say that it heals you, rather it's a tool that is used to help you get out of the way of yourself.

This book has come down in price from when it first came out in 2010.  Woohoo!  I love a good bargain.

The Pain-Free Program

This is an incredible book.  I think this will be a great compliment to The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook, 2nd Edition by Clair Davies.  I'm really into alternative healthcare, especially where I don't have to inject anything.

This book talks about imbalances in our bodies, how they are caused, and what to do to correct them.  Instead of the one size fits all that many programs have, he has 6 different body forms that we can look at to see which most closely fits our bodies.  You can also have multiple forms and he tells you how to evaluate these.

Each form takes 10-14 days that you're supposed to do the exercises.  He has exercises tailored for each form.

For example, if one hip is higher than the other, you do certain exercises to bring this back into balance.  It takes time and he goes into explaining what is happening with each exercise.  Over time, the muscles will adjust to the correct form or into better form.  Some chiropractic adjustments may be needed.

Although I haven't tried the exercises yet, I will be doing them starting this week and hope I see an improvement in my own form to be more balanced.  I borrowed this book from the library and if I find the exercises work for my body, then I'm going to be buying the book.
