Nutrition-Based Healing

by Mark Pitstick MA, DC

Note: If you already know the following information scroll down to the article title in maroon below the seven asterisks.  However, I strongly recommend reading this introduction until you really ‘own’ it.  In addition, post The Great News where you’ll see it every day.  

Over the last 15 years, and especially during 2019 – 2024, data from a series of experiments at the University of Arizona have definitively demonstrated scientifically that life continues after physical death.  This research was conducted by Gary E. Schwartz PhD, former professor at Harvard and Yale, and pioneer in the fields of behavioral medicine and energy healing.  

Dr. Schwartz is assisted in this work by a team of electrical engineers, software developers, research assistants, evidential mediums, and postmaterial luminaries at the Laboratory for Advances in Consciousness and Health.  (To learn more about the SoulPhone Project and lab, visit LACH.Arizona.edu.  To learn about postmaterial luminaries, see article #31 at SoulProof.com) 

The Demo SoulSwitch is a binary (Yes / No) SoulSwitch device that postmaterial persons (the so-called ‘deceased’) can use to answer questions, verify their identity, and begin providing information to help many people and our planet.  This device should be ready for beta testing by the summer of 2024.  After sessions with project volunteers and larger donors, we will share data that scientifically demonstrates life continues after bodily death.  However, this ‘reveal’ will initially occur as an ‘incremental trickle’ versus a ‘sudden splash’.   Over time and under optimal conditions, we will gradually amplify how widely this news is shared. 

Likewise, demonstrations of this technology will occur in a stepwise fashion.  We anticipate, but cannot guarantee, that full announcements and demonstrations will occur by spring 2025.  These decisions were made in April 2024 after many strategic planning discussions with core project team members.  The many factors involved are much more complex than you might imagine. 

See articles #1, 60, and 115 for an overview of the scientific, clinical, and experiential evidence that indicates – with 99.9% certainty – that consciousness survives bodily death.  This collective evidence also shows – with very high degrees of certainty – The Great News that you and everyone else:

1. continue to live after your earthly body dies.

2. can interact with ‘departed’ loved ones now and after you pass on.

3. are integral, infinite, eternal, and beloved parts of Source Energy now and always.

4. receive guidance and support from angels, guides, master teachers, etc.

5. are sacredly interconnected with all people, animals, and nature.

6. have special purposes for having this earthly experience now.

7. may manifest in other simultaneous time / space realities now and after bodily death.

8. have everything you need to enjoy an optimal earthly experience – no matter what your past or current circumstances.

9. can find meaning, as well as opportunities for growth and service, amidst your toughest changes and challenges.

10. co-create how heavenly your life feels – whether living on earth or elsewhere – by your predominant thoughts, words and actions.

11. can likely use SoulPhone technology in the future to communicate with postmaterial loved ones and access wisdom from luminaries who can help us heal our world.  

Statements #1, 2, and 11 are based on definitive scientific research.  The other statements are based on: (a) clinical research: near-death experiences, past life memories and regressions, perinatal experiences, life between lives sessions, shared crossings, terminal lucidity cases, and deathbed visions; and (b) evidencefrom firsthand experiences: after-death communications, out-of-body experiences, spiritually transformative experiences, electronic voice projection / instrumental transcommunication, and other ways of knowing.

This is, obviously, a new and exciting era for humanity.  When understood and internalized – even just a bit – The Great News can help you make the shift:         

• FROM thinking, believing, and acting as if your time on earth is unfair, meaningless, cruel, and ends with cessation of consciousness or the possibility of endless suffering.

• TO thinking, believing, and acting as if this earthly experience is a totally meaningful, safe, and magnificent adventure amidst forever.

Conscious language can help you adopt a greater reality perspective and live based on the second bulleted worldview.  And that, in turn, can help you create the greatest life YOU have envisioned, fulfill your purposes for being on earth, serve others, and enjoy a magnificent journey.  In the pursuit of using more conscious / accurate terms, l:   

1. Will use the term ‘YOU’ to describe the totality of your energy / being. Your real self may manifest in different spacetime ways simultaneously since only approximately 50% of your consciousness is needed to have an earthly experience. The term ‘YOU’ recognizes both of these possibilities.

2. Won’t use the terms ‘die, departed, deceased, or dead’ without single quotation marks since those have strongly entrenched and erroneous meanings indicating an end of life.

3. Will use the terms ‘bodily death’ and ‘death of the earthly form’ to remind you that only the earth-suit dies. The rest – all the intelligence, love, personality, memories, preferences, sense of humor, and much more – continues living in other parts of the field of all possibilities.

4. Will use the terms changed worlds, passed on, transitioned and others that aptly describe a continuation of consciousness after bodily death.

5. Will primarily refer to those who have passed on as postmaterial persons. That term recognizes the points in #3. I also will use soul, consciousness, essence, and awareness.

6. Will primarily refer to ‘physical humans living on earth’ as material persons. Why? Because those terms within single quotation marks may apply to postmaterial persons.  That is, they can have physicality, visit earth, and are still human in meaningful ways.
   
7. Will use the terms lower versus higher energies, emotions, and ways of being. These descriptors are not critical, judgmental, or subjective; rather, they are based on objective measures by, for example, David Hawkins PhD, MD author of Power Versus Force. He and other researchers found that higher-energy emotions of peace, joy, and love calibrate at 600, 540, and 500 respectively.  Conversely, lower-energy emotions of anger, fear, and guilt calibrate at 150, 100, and 30.  To be clear, energy / consciousness is who and what you really are, not just how you are feeling.  Your predominant energies create the quality of your life and the nature of your earthly or other time-space experience.

8. Will use single quotations marks with words such as ‘lose and fail’.  The Great News and collective afterlife evidence can expand your worldview about what seem to be losses and failures.  We can’t accurately judge the big picture of life – what is lost or how we failed – with our limited human senses.   

Note: To recognize and respect different genders and sexual identifications, I will alternate using ‘he’ or ‘she’ and related pronouns.  Depending on a person’s orientation, one, both, or neither of those may apply.

Nutrition-Based Healing

It’s quite a challenge to determine exactly what is at the core of a person’s health problems.  There are literally hundreds of possibilities that can cause common physical and emotional symptoms.  Over the years, I’ve studied and used several excellent methods of finding stressors and addressing deficiencies.

I’m most familiar with Nutrition Response Testing (NRT) and Applied Kinesiology (AK).  To find a local practitioner, visit Nutrition Response Testing or Applied Kinesiology.

Health conditions that practitioners at our office have helped people heal themselves of with this approach include: depression, fatigue, tremors, overweight, anxiety, insomnia, constipation, diarrhea, allergies, sinus drainage and congestion, memory loss, cold hands and feet, facial twitches, rectal itching and burning, indigestion, night sweats, hot flashes, tender breasts, PMS mood swings, muscle cramps, sweet cravings, bad breath, brain fog, shakiness, skin rash, acne, irritability, dizziness, nervousness, panic attacks, frequent colds and flu, asthma, visual disturbances, sneezing attacks, joint pain, hair loss, urinary frequency/urgency/incontinence, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high cholesterol, imbalance/vertigo, heart arrhythmias, split nails, and more.

Named diseases or syndromes that have improved significantly or totally include: multiple sclerosis, crohn’s disease, lyme’s disease, irritable bowel syndrome, cardiomyopathy, diabetes, neuropathy, lupus and other autoimmune disorders, ADD/ADHD, autism, asthma, raynaud’s disease, GERD, chronic fatigue syndrome, ulcer, gall bladder disease, colitis, erectile dysfunction, benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), PTSD, memory loss, heart arrhythmia, psoriasis, and eczema.

I do not capitalize these symptoms and diseases because they aren’t really separate entities. They are expressions of imbalance that can be addressed.  The body can’t speak English, or any other language, so it speaks in symptoms. 

Note: Listing improvements of past patients’ problems does not imply a guarantee for
those with similar conditions.  I am not a medical doctor and do not claim to diagnose, treat or cure any disease.  Rather, I assist the body in becoming as healthy as possible so it can heal itself.

NRT is a whole food nutritional based healthcare program that uses subtle muscle testing to get a binomial indicator—yes or no answer—from the body.  This feedback allows health practitioners to accurately and safely analyze if any neurological interference, stressor or deficiency is causing imbalanced body function.

Those three primary causes are often at the root of many common physical and “mental” symptoms.  Before I explain more about each, here’s an outline of these core causes of dis-ease:

1. Neurological Interference
   a. Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) Imbalance: your body is not “open” to healing as it should be.b. Switching: another form of ANS imbalance causing a “back and forth” or “opposite” reaction to treatment instead of steady improvement.
2. Stressors
   a. Offending Foods: overreactions by the body that cause many symptomsb. Immune Imbalances: an overgrowth of viruses, bacteria, yeast / fungus or parasites (ranging from unicellular to large tapeworms)c. Excess Chemicals: due to 2,000 chemicals most people are exposed to daily
   
   d.  Heavy or toxic metals: such as aluminum, arsenic, mercury and leade. Skin Trauma: from surgery, cuts, body piercings, tattoos, stretch marks, and injections/IV sitesf. Electromagnetic Frequencies: excessive “dirty electricity” from cell phones, towers, and other EMF sources
3. Nutritional Deficiencies
   a. Deficiency of minerals, vitamins, essential fatty acids and other vital nutrients
   
   b. Lack of digestive enzymes, hydrochloric acid, good bacteria and yeastc.c. Chronically poor diet with insufficient nutrients and excess harmful factors such as trans-fats, omega 6 oils, chemicals, heavy metals, genetically modified (GMO) strains, etc.These underlying causes of illness cause major  symptoms for many people, but aren’t addressed by most health care providers.  Here’s more information about each cause since addressing them is crucial for the health of you and your loved ones.

1. Neurological Interference
a. ANS Imbalance: Your nervous system has a component called the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Think of the word “automatic” and you’ll understand its function. The ANS consists of nerves that connect the brain to all organs so their functions can proceed normally.

The ANS is comprised of two parts.  The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) controls more active bodily functions while awake.  The parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS) oversees functions when you’re relaxed: sleep, rest, digestion, and sexual arousal.

Normally, the SNS and PSNS “up and down regulate” as appropriate for what you are doing.  The SNS should dominate when you’re more active, the PSNS when you’re more relaxed.

However, when the ANS is stressed and blocking occurs, this automatic up and down regulation can’t proceed normally.  Think of a bicycle with a stick stuck between the spokes; it is blocked from optimal functioning.

Being “blocked” can cause numerous symptoms.  For example, if there is too much sympathetic activation, you may experience insomnia, impotence, or poor digestion.  If there is too much parasympathetic control, you may be a “slow starter” in the morning, experience a lack of mental clarity, or feel drowsy throughout the day.

     b. Switching: This form of ANS interference is characterized by unexpected results to treatment.  Patients may get better, then worse for no obvious reason. Or, patients may have a negative response to programs that should help them.  Being “switched” is like having a faulty light switch that works correctly only part of the time.

Usually, your nervous system knows what is good for it and what isn’t.  For example, eating healthy food should make you feel better afterward.  However, people who are switched may feel better after eating junk food and worse after eating healthy foods and supplements.

Whole food supplements that address stressors and deficiencies (see below) help your body get un-switched.  Then your body isn’t confused and knows how to function more normally.

Finding the causes of switching and blocking is vital before further NRT testing can be accurately performed.

2. Six Stressors (for more information, see article #33 Six Stressors)

     a. Offending Foods: Foods can cause many common physical and mental symptoms. There are various ways to identify and successfully treat food allergies. Nutritional based healthcare programs evaluate food allergies with subtle muscle testing and test vials containing homeopathic dilutions of various foods.  Treatment involves: avoiding offending foods for 90 days; supplemental digestive enzymes; and perhaps betaine hydrochloride to digest residues of these foods in your system.

     b. Immune Imbalances: Viruses, bacteria, yeast / fungus, and parasites are everywhere.  You can’t avoid them completely but you can handle this challenge in two ways:

– Increase your resistance and stay vibrantly healthy. My book Radiant Wellness outlines seven keys to getting and staying optimally well.

– Assist your body in controlling the numbers of these critters.  A nutritional based treatment program can help boost your body’s immune system and control overgrowth of immune challenges.

     c. Excess chemicals: Chemicals are everywhere so it’s wise to regularly remove them. Various supplements in purification / detoxification programs — whole food, homeopathic and herbal in nature — help your body remove chemicals. Supporting optimal liver, kidney, lymphatic system and gastrointestinal tract function further assists the body in removing chemicals.  Review the list of common chemicals and their sources in article #37 so you can avoid further exposure as much as possible.

     d. Toxic / Heavy Metals: Basically, the same story as with chemicals: remove them using nutritionally based health care, assist optimal eliminative organ function, and avoid additional exposure as much as possible.

     e. Skin Trauma: Physical scars can negatively affect the quality and maybe quantity of your life. Scars are the result of any trauma that breaks the surface of the skin: surgery, cuts, injuries, animal or insect bites, injections, IV sites / ports, burns, stretch marks, body piercings, and tattoos. Areas with old or active acne, boils, rashes or open sores can also act as scars.Not all skin trauma sites affect normal body function.  Active scars — those that are causing problems — can be evaluated with nutritional based healthcare methods.  Treatment involves vigorously rubbing the scars with fresh wheat germ or sesame seed oil for three minutes twice a day.  Light therapy, a low level and safe form of laser light, is often needed to completely neutralize the scars.

     f. Electromagnetic Radiation: A growing body of research indicates serious health dangers of excess electro-magnetic radiation (EMR.) Reputable research and epidemiological studies have been done and the verdict is clear. People are suffering and dying needlessly and prematurely from the harmful effects of EMR.

Currently, people are exposed to — on average — 100 million times the EMR that their grandparents were.  And the amount is increasing yearly!  Many of the body’s physiological processes are influenced by these excessivebioelectrical signals.  As such, many functions — from your sleep cycles to immune strength to DNA genetic expression — can be affected by excessive EMR.

This information may sound overwhelming and like a foreign language to you.  But it can help your body heal itself in miraculous ways.  You don’t have to understand all these details but you should have a good working knowledge so you can prevent future problems.  Again, to find a local practitioner who probably can help, visit Nutrition Response Testing or Applied Kinesiology.
