San Francisco, CA (PRWEB)–Why do people eat when they are not hungry? According to the foundational theory of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), people overeat to tranquilize unresolved negative emotions and traumas. Recent research has established that obese people overeat because their food cravings are controlled by the same part of the brain that control drug cravings in addicts. This brain circuitry located in the hippocampus is also the part of the brain that is involved with emotion.Researchers are hopeful that these findings will point to new treatments for obesity and they acknowledge that dealing with emotions may be necessary. Meanwhile, people are already conquering food cravings and addictions by addressing their unresolved emotional issues with EFT– and they have been doing so for more than a decade.EFT involves fingertip tapping on select acupressure points while focusing on the craving in question. EFT claims an 80% success rate in calming the emotions that trigger food cravings. It can be learned without cost by downloading the free EFT Manual at http://www.emofree.com/downloadeftmanual.asp
Gary Craig, the Stanford-trained engineer who developed EFT has noticed a marked increase in the number of research studies that link negative emotions to physical issues. “But it is not enough to just make that link,” says Craig. “People also need reliable, inexpensive and safe treatment options that will help them address negative emotions once and for all, thereby breaking the link to physical illness. For the last decade EFT has given people an effective, drug-free healing option with an 80 percent success rate.”
Physician, Dr. Eric Robins says, “Some day the medical profession will wake up and realize that unresolved emotional issues are the main cause of 85% of all illnesses. When they do, EFT will be one of their primary healing tools … as it is for me.”
In other medical news, pharmaceutical giant, Merck abandoned their anti-obesity drug MK-0577 when it failed to produce significant weight loss results in human clinical trials. Meanwhile, a French pharmaceutical company is awaiting US FDA approval for their “magic bullet for obesity” drug, rimonabant.
In one year, this drug, plus a low calorie diet resulted in an average weight loss of less than 11 pounds in obese drug trial participants. Only those on a high dose of the drug had noteworthy weight loss and the accompanying side effects included nausea, diarrhea, headache, dizziness, joint pain as well as psychiatric and nervous system disorders.
In contrast, when people use EFT for their food addictions, there are no drugs involved and even willpower is unnecessary if users connect with and resolve their emotional reasons for turning to unhealthy foods. In 80% of the cases immediate food cravings subside in moments. Craig acknowledges, “While this is not yet mainstream thinking, hundreds of doctors, psychiatrists and psychotherapists are using EFT to help their patients change their relationships with food.”
Craig reports, “I see repeatedly that emotional issues like fear, anger, boredom, shame, and resentment are the very centerpiece of someone’s weight gain. But their emotional issues have remained unresolved despite willpower and conventional therapies. This is because the emotional issues have disrupted their energy meridian system (or Chi in Chinese Medicine). Until the energy system is balanced, the emotional eating will continue.”
Over 400,000 people have downloaded Craig’s free training manual and another 10,000 download it each month, making it one of the fastest-growing healing modalities in the world. Known as The EFT Manual, it has been translated by volunteer practitioners into nine languages. The EFT website is the fourth most actively visited natural health site in the world.
The EFT Manual gives anyone all the basics so they can apply it right away. It can be freely downloaded at http://www.emofree.com/downloadeftmanual.asp
“The Secret é sobre o quê? Melhorar o mundo? Compaixão? Inovação? Cidadania? The Secret é sobre ficar rico. E para isso, segundo The Secret, você tem que ter coisas. Que coisas? Um carro novo, uma casa nova, uma roupa nova, um computador novo, um corpo novo etc etc etc. Lixo, lixo, lixo! O segredo é justamente aprender que você já tem o suficiente. Felicidade é sobre usar a adversidade da tua vida para criar algo fantástico para você e outras pessoas. A história de Rodolfo Nagai, e sua Assai Atacadista é um exemplo disso. Comprada recentemente pelo grupo Pão de Açúcar por 208 milhões de reais, a Assai cresceu atendendo os dogueiros, pasteleiros e pequenas pizzarias, um público abandonado pelos grandes atacadistas. “Os pequenos comerciantes não tinham tempo de comprar, e eu resolvi ajudá-los”, diz Nagai. “Quando me dei conta, estava atendendo dezenas de pequenos comerciantes.” Pare de sofrer ao tentar ser o que você não é. O segredo é encontrar significado na tua vidinha atual, e não desejar ser algo que você não é ou não pode ser agora.”
