THE LECHER INSTRUMENT: A TOOL FOR TESTING & HEALING


Have you ever heard of a Lecher Instrument? It is a fascinating tool that accurately measures the wavelengths and frequency of electromagnetic waves surrounding the human body.

The Lecher Instrument is named for Ernst Lecher (1856-1926), an Austrian physicist who “ is known as the pioneer of high frequency measurement and the mind behind lecher lines, a method for measuring the length and frequency of electric waves”. https://innovativemedicine.com/lecher-instrument/

The tool, that is used today, was developed by a group of German physicists in 1975.

Dr. Gurevich believes in the Eastern philosophy that we each have energy centers, known as chakras, and a life energy that flows within us (qi). When your flow of life energy (qi) is blocked, you can become vulnerable to disease. When the qi is unblocked, your body is in a healing state.

My naturopath and acupuncturist, Dr. Trivisonno who works with Dr. Gurevich, also shares his beliefs for helping and healing her patients. Like Dr. Gurevich, Dr. T also believes in testing her patients with the Lecher Instrument.

Why?

Because it is amazingly accurate.

“The Lecher Instrument detects and reacts directly to frequencies through a well-known physics phenomenon called ‘resonance’.* Furthermore the Lecher Instrument is precisely calibrated, giving its user the distinct advantage to seek and obtain a reaction to the presence of highly specific frequencies.

This ability to detect specific frequencies opens a world of medical applications and possibilities, some of which include:
  • Scientifically accurate testing for the compatibility of any product, substance, medication and…
  • The ability to calibrate, measure and quantify the quality of any substance that emits radiation (all matter).
  • Therapeutic frequency transmission IN ADDITION to detection.” (from https://innovativemedicine.com/lecher-instrument/ )


By testing with the Lecher Instrument, both Dr. Gurevich and Dr. T are able to identify beneficial supplements and homeopathic remedies, supportive therapies, compatible and non-compatible foods and even viruses and bacteria, including Lyme Disease!

A few years ago, when I was still taking the Allergie-Immun drops, I was going through a healing crisis. I felt tired, achy, foggy, depressed, etc. I was terrified that I was experiencing a Lyme relapse. Dr. Terra tested me with the Lecher Instrument and the Lyme  bacteria frequency did not resonate. But what tested positive was the Epstein-Barr virus. With the help of Allergie-Immun,  the Epstein-Barr virus was in the process of being eliminated from my body. So Dr. T tested homeopathic supplements to help me to detox and eliminate the virus faster.

Through muscle testing and energetic testing,  both Dr. Gurevich and Dr. T were able to identify foods that were not compatible for me. Non-compatible foods can block your qi and interfere with the healing process. Before I went on the GAPS diet, I tested negatively for potatoes (including yams), corn, soy, rice, wheat, oats, peanuts, tomatoes, sugar, cow’s milk and dairy products, chocolate, oranges, and coffee.

This is how I knew I was the perfect candidate for the GAPS DIET. The GAPS DIET consists of eliminating all starchy foods, sugar and lactose, that stay in the gut, damage the gut wall and feed on pathogenic bacteria, viruses, candida and fungi.

I’ve been on the FULL GAPS DIET now for over 18 months and at my last drs. visit, Dr. T re-tested some of these foods to see if there has been a change. Sure enough, I can now eat peanuts, tomatoes, organic butter, organic brown rice, and organic dark chocolate. My body is still not compatible with most starches, so I’m staying away from them. I’m feeling
great on the GAPS diet and  introducing some non-GAP foods, like brown rice and some dark chocolate, a little at a time.

There is no question that the Lecher Instrument has been an important part of my recovery from chronic illness. By leaving out the guess work, my doctors have the capability to  treat all their patients confidently and wisely. As a result, I could see and believe that there is indeed a light at the end of the tunnel. I knew I was going to recover and get my health back.

We all have the ability to be healthy. Dr. Gurevich and Dr. T know this. This is why tools like the Lecher Instrument are a vital part of their practice. They are part of a new breed of practitioners who believe in the individual approach, finding the root cause of dysfunction, treating the body, mind and spirit, and restoring health on all levels.  They are part of a new breed of physicians that bring healing and hope.


(*Resonance is the tendency of a system to oscillate. Resonance phenomena  occurs with all types of vibrations or waves:  there is mechanical resonance, acoustic resonance, electromagnetic resonance, and also biological resonance of living systems (bioresonance). Resonant systems can be used to pick out specific frequencies from a complex vibration containing many frequencies...

Utilizing a Lecher Instrument as a scientific tool capable of registering wavelengths and oscillations from the human body, and a systematic set of medical parameters, physicians may now identify all dysfunctions in the body as well as the correct medications and treatments needed to correct these dysfunctions with accuracy.”)  from

LIFE LESSONS FROM MY MOM



We had a quiet Fourth of July so it gave me a chance to observe my 87 year old mom.


My mother is one tough biscotto! (Italian for cookie ) She was the oldest of five in a working class urban Italian-American family. Growing up during the Great Depression gave her the survival skills she needed to beat cancer three times. And she is undoubtedly one of the most strong-willed persons I’ve ever known (not that is necessarily always a good thing).

Even though she may look frail and slightly bent over, she is keenly observant, ferociously opinionated and vocal, and doesn’t give a hoot who she offends. She never complains about her health, except for memory issues that are just beginning to creep up, and is contently living with her constant feline companion, Rusty.

Thanks to my mom, I learned to be a survivor and never give up when I was chronically sick with chronic Lyme or MSIDS - Multi-Systemic Infectious Disease Syndrome . Thanks to my mom, I learned to write things down, make lists and get organized. Thanks to my mom, I learned to stretch a dollar. But most of all, thanks to my mom, I learned to play the piano which led me to my career as a teacher, pianist and composer.

MOM and ME


As I gaze upon my mom, I finally realize that I can look upon her with love, forgiveness and compassion. But it wasn’t always this way. For many years, I didn’t feel the slightest compassion or gratitude toward my mom. Was this a character flaw? Was there something wrong with me? Was this the attitude of a spoiled brat? Or were these negative feelings actually mirroring negative thought patterns of my mother!

“...We are all on an endless journey through eternity. We come to this planet to learn particular lessons that will advance us on our spiritual and evolutionary pathway. We choose our sex, our color, our country; then we look around for the perfect set of parents who will mirror the pattern we are bringing in to work on in this lifetime...Then when we grow up, we usually point our fingers at our parents and whisper, ‘You did it to me.’ But really, we chose them for they were perfect for what we wanted to work on overcoming.”....from the book, YOU CAN HEAL YOUR LIFE by Louise L. Hay.

As I became aware of my thoughts, I also became aware  that my mother was completely oblivious to her thoughts, words and actions. As a young child, I looked up to my mother as if she was a goddess. But as I entered my vulnerable teenage years, I became rebellious and explored different ideas and beliefs than my parents. My mother refused to accept the new me. She refused to listen to ideas that were different than hers.

Our relationship became tense and full of drama. During this period, many nasty words were exchanged in the heat of the moment. Words that my mother forgot - but I didn’t. These cutting words gave me emotional scars that affected every part of my life. As a result, I silently and sub-consciously blamed my mother for many of my problems.

And it took me many years to finally come to terms with the fact that she did the best that she could, with what she herself had learned in life. By exploring and releasing the past, I am now able to live in the present and heal. MFT (Mental Field Therapy), APN (Applied Psycho-Neurobiology) and CST (Cranial-Sacral Therapy), are among the energetic therapies that find and release stuck negative patterns.

I do not blame my mother any more. I have released negative feeling about her. My thoughts are my responsibility.

I can finally say that this was a lesson for me. A lesson in forgiveness, gratefulness and compassion.

A life lesson...in Earth school.

ARE YOU A VICTIM OF YOUR THOUGHTS?

When I became aware of my thoughts, I again was stunned to discover that I saw myself as a victim from the time I was very young. Thoughts like:

Why is this happening to me? What's wrong with me? It's my fault! It’s their fault!  It’s not fair! Why can't I ever get a break? AND..the big one...Why is God punishing me? - were the constant negative messages that were in my daily thought process. When I became chronically sick with Lyme (also known as MSIDS – Multi-Systemic Infectious Disease Syndrome, these unconscious messages magnified and led to depression.

After reading, Louise Hay's wonderful self-healing book, YOU CAN HEAL YOUR LIFE, I realized that I had unknowingly created a world of resentment, fear, criticism and guilt. Eckhart Tolle's revolutionary book, THE POWER OF NOW, made me aware that I was not living in the present. Every day, I was unknowingly punishing myself with thoughts from my past. Thoughts of people who had hurt me. Thoughts of resentment. Thoughts of anger. Thoughts of blame. And thoughts of self-loathing.


I had unconsciously made myself into a helpless victim...of my THOUGHTS!!!

So when did I start becoming my own worst enemy?

“When we are very little, we learn to feel about ourselves and about life by the reactions of the adults around us...If you lived with people who were very unhappy, frightened, guilty, or angry, then you learned a lot of negative things about yourself and about your world...

When we grow up, we have a tendency to recreate the emotional environment of our early home life...this is not good or bad, right or wrong; it is just what we know inside as “home”...We treat ourselves the way our parents treated us. We scold and punish ourselves in the same way...We also love and encourage ourselves on the same way, if we were loved and encouraged as children...

However, I would not blame our parents for this. We are all victims of victims, and they could not possibly have taught us anything they did not know. If your mother did not know how to love herself, or your father did not know how to love himself, then it would be impossible for them to teach you to love yourself. They were doing the best they could with what they had been taught as children...Those people who “did all that stuff to you” were just as frightened and scared as you are”...from the book, YOU CAN HEAL YOUR LIFE by Louise Hay.



The thought that “my mother did not know how to love herself, or my father did not know how to love himself, then it would be impossible for them to teach me how to love myself”, was a revelation for me! WE ARE ALL VICTIMS OF VICTIMS! They were doing the best they could. They loved me the best that they could  but...they also saw themselves as victims!


I unconsciously believed I was a victim. I unconsciously blamed my parents and other people for problems that manifested in my life. I unconsciously felt that I wasn't responsible for my own problems and experiences. I unconsciously blamed God for my problems. I was unconscious that I harbored all this resentment and blame.


Until...I became aware!


“If we choose to believe we are helpless victims and that it's all hopeless, then the Universe will support us in that belief, and we will go down the drain. It is vital that we release these foolish, outmoded, negative ideas and beliefs that do not support us and nourish us. Even our concept of God needs to be one that is FOR US, not against us.” from the book YOU CAN HEAL YOUR LIFE by Louise Hay.
.
I completely agree with Louise Hay's inspirational advice, but, this is easier said than done. I was so stuck in my negative thinking that I needed help to release my past emotional blocks. The energetic therapies of Dr. Rasa and Dr. Gurevich, such as Applied Psycho-Neurobiology (APN) and Mental Field Therapy (MFT) helped me to heal many of my self-destructive thoughts..

MFT - an amazing and effective self-help therapy, has made it possible for me to release the layers of pain from my past in the privacy of my own home. This therapy is proof that we all have the power to replace self-destructive thoughts with new patterns of love, acceptance, forgiveness and gratitude.


I am no longer my own worst enemy. I am no longer a victim of my mind. God never punished me. I punished me! I  now know that I am responsible for everything that I  do, think and say.  I now know I have the power to choose my thoughts. So I choose good health. I choose gratitude. I choose joy. I choose to release the past and forgive everyone – even myself!. And most of all, I choose love.


I choose to love myself. I choose to accept myself. For most of my life, I didn’t love myself - ENOUGH! So I am now learning to love all my imperfections as well as the divinity of who I am.


I am learning that the root of many of our problems is lack of self-love. If we can all learn to love and accept ourselves, then our world would  truly be a peaceful place.  This new world would reflect our harmonious thoughts. All thoughts are energy. And we are energetic beings creating our own world. We can create a life of peace and harmony or we can create a life of misery and suffering.  Our present thoughts create our future experiences.  So think beautiful loving thoughts, for yourself and others, and that will be your world!

“...When we really love and accept and APPROVE OF OURSELVES EXACTLY AS WE ARE, then everything in life works. It is as if little miracles are everywhere. Our health improves, we attract more money, our relationships become much more fulfilling, and we begin to express ourselves in creatively fulfilling ways. All this seems to happen without our even trying.” - YOU CAN HEAL YOUR LIFE by Louise Hay

WHAT IS A NEGATIVE THOUGHT PATTERN?


Being healthy is a natural state, and the means for achieving it are within the grasp of each one of us”

                             ~ from the book, Your Erroneous Zones, by Dr. Wayne Dyer

Right at this very moment, you might be swimming in a self-destructive pool of negative thought patterns – and NOT EVEN KNOW IT! Dr. Wayne Dyer, my personal guru, (only kidding!) extensively examines these self-defeating behaviors in his bestselling self-help book, Your Erroneous Zones

Here's a funny side note about this book......I had labeled myself of being “out of it” for years. Well, here is a classic example of how this erroneous self- labeling came true.

Back in the late 70's, I remember seeing Dr. Dyer on talk shows when Your Erroneous Zones first came out but I didn't pay much attention to what he and the book were all about.  I was indeed “out of it!” For years, I thought that the title of this book was “Your Erogenous Zones” and Dr. Dyer was some kind of New Age sex therapist!

Thankfully, labeling myself as being “out of it” is in my past and I am now aware of all the “I'ms” that are useless and self-defeating. (See You Can Change Your Thoughts for more on how negative thoughts can affect you). When you label yourself with a negative description, you are putting energy into this thought process. Your thoughts will manifest and become reality.

All labels come from an individual's history...You could be negating yourself by identifying with your trademarks, rather than your own potential for growth.” - Wayne Dyer

So how are you labeling yourself?

Here is a typical list of “I'ms” that may be included in your self-portrait.”
  • I'm Sick.                                   I'm Fat.                                    I'm Lazy
  • I'm Afraid                                 I'm Nervous                             I'm Stubborn
  • I'm Forgetful                            I'm Anxious                             I'm Tired Easily
  • I'm a Loner                              I'm Hostile                               I'm Accident Prone
  • I'm Shy                                     I'm Careless                           I'm Not Musical
  • I'm Bored                                 I'm Short Fused                     I'm Not Athletic
  • I'm Apathetic                           I'm Vindictive                          I'm Irresponsible
  • I'm Unorganized                      I'm Immature                           I'm Sloppy
~from the book, Your Erroneous Zones by Wayne Dyer


And I would like to add a few more to the above list:

  • I'm Ugly                                        I'm Too Short                              I'm No Good
  • I'm Unlovable                               I'm a Loser                                 I'm Unhappy
  • I'm a Nervous Wreck                    I'm Pathetic                                I'm Too Old
  • I'm Out Of It                                  I'm a Mess                                 I'm a Nitwit
                                                                           

And my personal mantra for years:

I'm Not Good Enough!

Are any of these “self-portraits” in your daily thought process?

We have learned to accept these labels as normal and acceptable – but are they really? When you label yourself as sick, tired, old, afraid, ugly, fat, or lazy, etc., you are, in fact, creating more of what you don't want.

Your present thoughts create your future experiences. This is how powerful your mind is. And you have the power to change your past self into a newer, better you! But, first you need to be aware of your thoughts. Be aware of those unhealthy “I'ms” and replace them with what you do want! This is what I did and it works!

Replace I am sick with I AM HEALTHY! Replace I am tired with I AM ENERGETIC! Replace I am unlovable with I AM LOVING and LOVABLE!  Changing negative labels is not easy. It takes a lot of work and patience. It is a daily process. But it can be done. If I can do it, anyone can!

Start creating your future self-portrait with thoughts of abundance, love, good health, compassion, forgiveness, thankfulness and joy. You can change your thoughts! So why wait? 

Start today. Start right now!

Remove those self-destructive "I'ms"  from your life and replace them with messages of self-approval. You have the power to help yourself create a future of good health and well being. 

You have the power to change your life. You have that power! The choice is yours! That's right! It's all about choices. Choose healing thoughts today for a healthier and happier tomorrow.

You are so worth it!

THE ROOT OF NEGATIVE THOUGHT PATTERNS

I have recovered from chronic Lyme disease, (Multi-Systemic InfectiousDisease Syndrome) through holistic and energetic therapies. Some of these therapies addressed not only physical symptoms, but cleared unresolved emotional issues that were affecting my health. For the first time in my life, I became consciously aware of my thoughts and realized that I was burdened with daily negative thought patterns that plagued me since I was very young.

So when did my thoughts start becoming my own worst enemy? As I look back, even though I had a relatively happy childhood, I began to develop mood swings, including episodes of anxiety), as early as the age of 6. My cranky moods were unpredictable but many times came out during festive occasions like family outings, birthday parties, shopping trips, etc.

Here is a picture of me, pouting, while at the zoo with my childhood friends.

Moody me!


My mother had taken me and my girlfriends to the local zoo to celebrate my 7th birthday. For some reason, I wasn't happy. And I certainly wasn't going to fake a smile for the picture. I remember being downright miserable. But for what reason – who knows? After all, I was only 7. So why do I look so...ungrateful? Why am I acting... like a spoiled brat!

Yes, unfortunately, I acted like a spoiled brat on many occasions! I was an only child for the first 8 years of my life. As an only child, I was around adults more than children. I received lots of adult attention which is not necessarily a good thing. Not all of this attention was loving and nurturing.

Being sensitive and intuitive, I would sometimes be overwhelmed with negative emotions that were confusing and disturbing. I remember being overcome with fear, insecurity, guilt and feeling isolated many times. These emotional tidal waves seemed to come out of nowhere. And I had absolutely no control over them. And being a young child, I couldn't verbalize these thoughts to my parents. I would act on them. The negative thoughts that I was feeling became negative behavior. My negative behavior, like acting like a spoiled brat, was the direct result of these negative emotions and ultimately feeling bad about myself.

Already, as a young child, I was beginning to feel the twisted thoughts of self-criticism, unworthiness and guilt. I had terrible guilt for thinking that I was the cause for these troubled thoughts swirling around in my head. After all, these bad thoughts belonged to me so I must be a bad kid. Right?

According to motivational author, Louise L. Hay, “when we are little, we learn how to feel about ourselves and about life by the reactions of the adults around us.” - from the book, You Can Heal Your Life.”




As a child, I had absorbed both positive and negative thought patterns from my parents. Even though my parents were loving and devoted parents, they were not aware of their thoughts. They were not aware of the negative influence and impact that these thought patterns would have on their children. They in turn, absorbed both positive and negative thought patterns from their parents. And so on and so on.

Positive thought patterns of love, thankfulness, forgiveness and compassion are healing and uplifting emotions. But negative thought patterns are a whole different story. These damaging patterns can be passed down (unintentionally) and absorbed from one generation to another and may be the cause of much strife in our society.

Research has proven how powerful your mind is but the concept of inherited thought patterns is still in its infancy. More research is needed for this concept to be accepted in mainstream philosophy. But until then, it is up to each of us to be responsible for our thoughts, words and actions and to be a positive force for ourselves, our children and our society.

The key is to be aware of your thoughts.

By identifying negative thought patterns, dissolving them and replacing them with positive loving thoughts, we can live happier, healthier and more productive lives.


To be cont.

YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR THOUGHTS!


After reading The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle, I realized that I was not aware of my thoughts. When I became conscious of my thoughts, I was shocked to realize that many of my thoughts were self-critical and disapproving.

I unknowingly criticized and called myself derogatory names  on a daily basis!        Whenever I dropped something, felt frustrated or could not live up to some kind of unrealistic expectation, I would call myself names that became part of my “normal thoughts”.

 I’m an idiot! I’m a  moron! I’m  such a jerk! I’m a nitwit! I’m out of it! I’m so stupid! I’m so dumb! I’m such a klutz! I hate myself! What is my problem? became daily self-abusive  thoughts for many years!

I also criticized myself every time I looked in the mirror.

I hate my hair! I hate my eyebrows! I wish my thighs were thinner! I wish my legs were longer! I wish I had bigger breasts! I wish I was thinner! I wish I had perfect skin! etc, were just some of the negative patterns spinning inside my head.

Ever since I was a teenager, these self-inflicting words were part of my “normal” thought process. As a matter of fact, the words, ”I’m out of it” became almost like a mantra. I said it all the time!  Could this have been a self-fulfilling prophecy?

 In my 30’s, I became sick with chronic Lyme (MSIDS - Multi-Systemic Infectious Disease Syndrome). One of my worst symptoms was brain fog, which consisted of overwhelming mental fatigue, loss of concentration and memory. I had indeed become “out of it”… for almost 13 years. Could years of seeing myself in a negative light affect me physically? Could negative thoughts lead to sickness and ultimately, disease?

It’s no coincidence that as I uncovered and released negative emotions, I began to truly heal from chronic Lyme. And I have Dr. Gurevich to thank for helping me to recognize how positive and negative thoughts can affect not only me but all of us.

Dr.  Masaru Emoto’s well publicized experiments with water, demonstrate the power of thought. He exposed different thoughts, as well as music, to water before freezing it. If negative thoughts like, “I hate you”, were projected onto the water, the crystals that formed were fragmented.  But when the water was exposed to prayer, soothing music and positive thoughts, the ice crystals were beautifully formed and breathtaking!

Watch this video and see for yourself!



Dr. Gurevich introduced me to the concept of blessings, prayer and positive affirmations   to replace  negative thought patterns. This version of the ancient Hawaiian prayer, Ho’oponopono, was crucial in bringing me toward a more positive and healthier state of mind. This prayer was given to me by Dr. Gurevich…

Ho’oponopono
(Prayer used by Hawaiian healer, Morna Simeona)

Divine Creator
Father, Mother, Son as one…
If I, my family, my relatives or ancestors have offended
You, your family, your relatives and ancestors
In thought, word, deed or actions,
From the beginning of creation to the present
We ask your forgiveness…
Let this cleanse, purify, release,
Cut all the negative memories,
Blocks, energies and vibrations,
And transmute these unwanted energies to LIGHT…
It is done.
I LOVE YOU.
I’M SORRY.
PLEASE FORGIVE ME.
THANK YOU.

As I began to observe my thoughts, I realized that many of my negative thoughts would pop up when I was doing chores around the house. So I would keep a copy of this prayer in my pocket and pull it out and recite it over and over again, until I felt calm and peaceful.

Reciting and repeating the shorter version of the prayer,
I LOVE YOU. I’M SORRY. PLEASE FORGIVE ME. and THANK YOU., was also a powerful healing mantra for me.

Correcting unhealthy negative thought patterns is a daily process. And if you haven’t guessed by now,  it takes a lot of work and patience! I no longer call myself harmful names.  Instead, when I feel stressed or frustrated, I say this healing mantra:

“I’M DOING THE BEST I CAN. ALL IS WELL.” 

I also think of all the things that I’m thankful for. I say:

"I LOVE YOU. I’M SORRY.  PLEASE FORGIVE ME. and THANK YOU". – over and over again. I take a big deep breath and within seconds, I’m at peace and actually feel that “ALL IS WELL!”   

And now when I look in the mirror, I happily exclaim, I LOVE YOU!, I AM WONDERFUL! I FEEL GREAT! I AM BLESSED! I FEEL BEAUTIFUL!  Saying these affirmations make me feel good!  But truly believing these words are still a struggle. It is not easy changing a thought pattern that has been with you most of your life.

But with practice and determination, it can be done. Anyone can do this. When you change your thoughts in a positive direction, your life will change, too.

Our thoughts and emotions are very powerful. We can uplift ourselves with the positive emotions of love, gratitude, forgiveness and compassion. And we can overcome the negative thoughts that we inflict on ourselves. But first we need to search our past and find the root cause of our negativity. We weren’t born this way. I know I wasn’t!

I believed I had a happy childhood. But as I got older, things started to change. So what happened to me? How did I get so negative? How did I become so self-critical? When did my thoughts start becoming… my own worst enemy?

To be cont…
