疗愈牛皮癣项目


成功的牛皮癣项目




















凯西旗下的经纬研究院(Meridian Institute)组织的第一次牛皮癣项目是在寒意初上的十一月进行的,地点是在离凯西总部不远的一所面朝大海的别墅里。九位牛皮癣患者参与了这个项目,我们同吃同住,一起度过了安排紧密的十二天时间。我们来研习,也作为被研究者,年龄跨度从12到76岁。

 

项目的总指导是经纬学院的负责人Eric Mein医师和来自新泽西的整脊医师John Pagano博士。畅销的《疗愈牛皮癣Healing Psoriasis》就是John Pagano医师的著作。

 

我们每天的起居活动开始于早晨7点,晨课晚课包括太极和冥想,期间有课堂讲座、数据采集,还有各种疗法,如整脊、按摩、洗肠、饮食、身体练习等等。

 

在开始时,有医学检查,尤其包括“小肠渗漏”检测,这是一种测定肠漏综合症(Leaky Gut Syndrome)的方法。凯西是第一位指出牛皮癣的问题与被损伤和变薄的小肠壁的绝对相关性,他说毒素和食物颗粒透过这些损伤部位,被系统带入血液中,并从皮肤被排除出体外。医学界只是在最近才考虑这个可能性。

 

当地的一位整脊医师Carl Nelson负责检查和调理每个人的脊椎和肌肉组织。他说“凯西一直强调第6和第7胸椎错位与牛皮癣的关联性。我的责任是确定这些部位是否正确。如果有问题,我会用凯西-赖利整脊按摩法去调理放松。凯西经常讲到牛皮癣患者往往会显示一个特别的生理-心理状况:在太阳神经丛区域深藏压力,这里正是小肠开始的部位,这里的某些部位变薄,让毒素从这里被吸收回体内。”

 

医学心理专项由David McMillin医师实施,他是心理健康专家,负责检测影响病症的心理因素;John Pagano医师也会进行一对一的检测,确定个体的病患严重程度、食物过敏等其他因素。

 

John Pagano医师做了全面的介绍,讲述了他多年治疗牛皮癣的临床经验,用众多PPT的图片展示多位患者惊人的恢复程度。营养专家Tina Marie Mollica讲述牛皮癣与营养的关系,尤其突出凯西强调的致酸性食物与致碱性食物的摄入量的合理比例是20%:80%,当然还有诸多需要的和不应该食用的食物和组合。她全程监管三餐的制作,并且带我们去了一次商场,教我们如何辨识有害成分。

 

在个体治疗和检测之间,安排了一系列讲座和工作坊,目的在于开发正面积极的心态。Mein医师关于身心链接一体的、Kevin Todeschi关于理想的、Raye Mathis让我们体验声音与音乐跟疗愈的关系,还有Charles Thomas Cayce博士关于心态、情绪和冥想的讲座及体验。

 

随着时间的过去,集体疗愈的力量开始显现。小组成员展现出来爱、和谐和亲密。疗愈不仅仅表现的身体上,同时也是情绪上、心理上、心灵上的。许多人都觉得彼此似曾相识,尽管他们都是第一次见面。来自麻省的Natalie Reid说,“这样的集体疗愈有着奇迹般的品质。我们几个人开始互不相识,除了牛皮癣外,大家几乎没有共同点,而到了最后我们成为一家,而且是强有力的一家,我们不再单兵作战了。我感受到团队的祝福,大家的能量加持和疗愈。”

 

牛皮癣项目的有两个:第一是帮助患者理解和实践凯西解读的疗愈理念;第二是收集数据来证实凯西的牛皮癣理论,从而主流医学可以整合到其系统里来。Nelson博士在结束庆祝会上说:“我们不仅仅坐在凯西整体健康资料的金矿上,而且处于起飞的开始阶段。美国公众正在转向替代疗法。凯西资料系统介绍这些整体疗法是如何运作的。在解读254-37里,凯西说‘我们看到有许多工作等待完成,尤其是改变人们关于整体健康的集体的思想意识。’经纬研究院负担起研究和实证的任务,从而让21世纪甚至22世纪的人们因此而受益。”

牛皮癣是一种慢性皮肤病,有不同的表现症状,经常出现的是深红色的斑点,发炎肿胀的部位覆盖有银白色的皮屑。这种病非常普遍,在美国有大约三百万名患者。医学界目前对其起因还不明确,也没有明确有效的治疗方法。

    Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease, with a variety of symptoms, most commonly reddened skin patches and inflamed, swollen skin lesions covered with silver-white scales. It is very common (about 3 million Americans affected), but the cause is not known, and there is no generally recognized cure.

凯西解读资料认为,尽管表现为皮肤疾病,但牛皮癣的致因可以归根到消化系统的毒素。在小肠的某些部位上,肠壁受损变薄,从这些受损的部位渗漏出身体无法处理的物质,并重新进入身体系统。最后,身体把这些垃圾推向皮表循环,引发皮肤的免疫反应模式。

    The Edgar Cayce readings say that, although it appears to be a skin disease, most cases of psoriasis are caused by toxins from the digestive system. There is a thinning of the walls of the small intestine, and this thinning allows toxins to leak from the intestinal tract into the circulation. These eventually find their way to the superficial circulation, and trigger an immune response in the skin.

在过去的几年里,医学研究的某些进展,正在证明凯西的观点。但系统地使用和实践凯西所推荐的治疗方案,只有John Pagano医生。他是新泽西州的整脊医师,《疗愈牛皮癣》等书的作者。他的临床案例中有无数完全疗愈的成功记录。

    In the past several years, medical research has provided some evidence supporting the Cayce perspective, but the only person to have systematically applied the Cayce recommendations for treatment is Dr. John Pagano, a New Jersey chiropractor who wrote the book Healing Psoriasis: The Natural Alternative. Dr. Pagano has many well-documented cases of complete healing of severe psoriasis.

经纬研究院主办了两期研究项目,肯定了John Pagano医生的方案,并且对肠部渗漏的角色进行研究。在数年前的第一次牛皮癣项目里,我们联合John Pagano医生,教导十名患者使用凯西治疗方案。在6个月内,大多数牛皮癣患者都得到了不同程度的疗愈,皮肤问题有显著的改善。

Meridian Institute has conducted two projects confirming Pagano's approach, and exploring the role of intestinal permeability or "leaky gut." Four years ago, in our first major research project, we brought Dr. Pagano in as an advisor, and taught 10 people the elements of the Cayce therapeutic approach. Within six months, most had experienced some healing of their psoriasis, some with major clearing of the skin lesions.

附后的案例是我们第二次的牛皮癣项目,5位患者(开始是6个人,有一位中途退出)。在19995月,他们来参与开始的疗愈实践研讨会,系统地学习如何在家里实践凯西的方法。在这次集会期间,他们接受药物蒸气浴、整脊按摩、洗肠水疗等。而回到家里,他们必须坚持相对严格的凯西饮食:主要食用果蔬类,禁止油炸食品和红肉。另外,还需要饮用草药茶:西红花和榆树皮粉。肠漏检测采用的是乳糖甘露醇测试。其中的两个人显示有严重的肠漏,分别为0.1340.084(平均正常值是0.01-0.06.另外还有牛皮癣范围和严重指数Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI)和个体牛皮癣自测指数Psoriasis Severity Scale (PSS)。我们对患病的部位进行了拍照。

    In the cases reported here, we repeated and improved the psoriasis project, with five participants (a sixth began the study but dropped out). In May 1999, they attended an initial conference, in which they learned how to apply the Cayce treatments at home. At the conference they underwent an initial cleansing including fume baths, massages, and colonic irrigations. The home treatment approach included a diet consisting primarily of fresh fruits and vegetables, no fried food, and no red meat. The diet was supplemented with herbal preparations: saffron tea and slippery elm bark water. Their intestinal permeability was assessed using a simple test involving drinking a sugar solution (the lactulose/mannitol test). Two of the five people had abnormally high permeability. Psoriasis symptoms were also assessed using the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI), a scale administered by Dr. Eric Mein, and a self-report inventory of symptoms, the Psoriasis Severity Scale (PSS). Photographs of the affected areas were also taken.

 六个月后,参与者返回凯西总部,得到牛皮癣症状的再次评估。所有参与者都得到不同程度的改善。所有人的肠漏指标得到改善。

   After six months following the protocol, the participants returned to Virginia Beach for an assessment of their psoriasis symptoms. All had substantial improvement. In addition, the intestinal permeability of all five people had decreased.

这个项目最难的部分就是参与者在家里坚持我们给出的饮食准则。因为各种原因,例如出差,有时他们很难坚守饮食准则。牛皮癣会部分地返回,这也肯定了凯西方案的重要性。下面是这五个案例。

   The most difficult part for most participants was consistency in following the diet. When, for various reasons including travel, they slipped in their adherence to the diet, the psoriasis symptoms partially returned, confirming the importance of this aspect of the Cayce treatment approach. Below are individual reports of the five cases (and a note about the sixth person who dropped out). 
 

案例一Case 1

 患者是一位40岁的女性,本人也是医生。她的牛皮癣开始于8年前。项目开始时,她这么描述的:

Case 1 is a 40-year-old woman, a physician. Her psoriasis began in 1991. At the beginning of the project, she described her symptoms:

“牛皮癣主要在我的手部和脚部,有轻度到中度的瘙痒,洗手是更痒。作为医生,我需要经常洗手,所以一整天我都很受影响。如果我的压力增加,如睡眠不足,皮肤的问题会变得严重。有时我的病人会问我皮肤出了什么问题,我会很有压力。因为这意味着我自己的身体的不平衡。我希望有一个整体健康的身体。”

    "My psoriasis affects my hands and feet. It causes mild to moderate itching and is worsened by washing my hands. I need to frequently wash my hands in my medical practice, so the psoriasis affects my comfort during the day. It is worsened when I am stressed, i.e., if I don't get sufficient sleep. It is somewhat stressful to answer questions that my patients have about "what is wrong with my skin?" I feel it indicates that there is some imbalance in my body. I wish to have an overall healthier body."

除了牛皮癣,她还曾患过哮喘和过敏症(过敏性鼻炎)。她采用顺势疗法,得到很大改善,并且她的牛皮癣也有所好转。

    I addition to the psoriasis, she had also had some asthma and allergies (allergic rhinitis) in the past, but homeopathic medicine had led to a major improvement in those conditions and some improvement in her psoriasis.

六个月后,她报告说牛皮癣的症状得到巨大改善,其他问题也有很大变化。她的牛皮癣不再是一个病症了,而且他的心态和情绪也得到极大改善。她记录说:“我的手部和肘部的牛皮癣完全消失!脚部消失了80%,后来因为蝨咬伤,我使用了三周的消炎药,让我的牛皮癣又增加了一些,现在是60%的疗愈。”

    At the 6-month follow-up, Case 1 reported that her psoriasis symptoms were "much improved," and her symptoms other than psoriasis were "much improved." She felt that her psoriasis degree of disability was "much less disabling," and that her attitudes and emotions were "much improved." In her written comments, she said "I had complete clearing of psoriasis on hands and elbows. I had 80% improvement of psoriasis on feet, then I had 3 weeks of antibiotics to prophylax from tick bite. After that my psoriasis on my feet mildly flared - to about 60% of improvement."

照片显示,此个案改善巨大。原来非常明显的手肘部位,完全洁净了。脚部还有少许。她的乳糖甘露醇测试从开始的0.134,改善到六个月后的0.038.

    In the before/after pictures, Case 1 had major improvement. Her most prominent symptom, the rough, red areas on her hands and elbows, were completely cleared. There was still some psoriasis on her foot. She also showed improvement on the two measures of psoriasis symptoms (Table 1). Her lactulose/mannitol ratio, which had been high at the beginning (.134) was normal after six months (.038).

关于饮食准则,她反馈道:大多数时间是遵守的,每天饮用草药茶。这已经非常好了。另外她从第一次集会后,开始使用几次蓖麻油包裹法,并做了几次洗肠。除了集会的那次,没有接受整脊调理。洗肠完成的不错,但蓖麻油和整脊完成的欠缺。

    Regarding compliance with the protocol, she followed the diet "most of the time," and used the herbal teas "almost every day." This is excellent compliance with the diet and the teas. She used castor oil packs "a few times since the conference," had "one to three" colonics after the conference, and only received spinal adjustments at the conference. This is good compliance with the colonics, and poor compliance with the adjustments and castor oil packs.



此个案报告说:

    In an interview at the 6-month follow-up, Case 1 said:

“这个疗程对我的健康非常非常有益!除了我的牛皮癣得到非常非常多的改善外,我的手部完全清洁力。我原来在手部、肘部和脚部都有牛皮癣,有时非常非常痒。作为医生,我需要戴手套,经常洗手,但洗手水让病情严重。现在洗手水再也不会对我造成刺激了。手部的牛皮癣在第一个月后就完全清洁了,而且没有反复。在我坚持饮食条约的第二个月,肘部的牛皮癣消失。我的脚部好了60%。它们曾经好了80%以上。但三个月前我被蝨咬伤,用了三周的消炎药。我感觉消炎药对我的消化系统造成影响。但仍然比开始的时候好了60%

    "It's been very, very good for my health. In addition to my psoriasis much, much improving. My hands are clear. I used to have it on my hands, and on my elbows and on my feet. I used to be very, very itchy. I'm a physician, and when I used to wear gloves, or wash my hands a lot, the water used to bother me. The water doesn't bother me at all anymore. The psoriasis cleared up on my hands within one month, and it has never resurfaced. The psoriasis cleared up on my elbows within about two months of starting the diet protocol. Also my feet are 60% better. And they were almost clear, 80% cleared up. Then about three months ago I had a tick bite and I took antibiotics for three weeks. I think it disturbed my digestion. After that, I have never gotten back to as clear as they had been at that time. But they're still 60% better than they were when I started.

“榆树皮粉有很多帮助。如果我有一天没有喝的话,我注意到第二天手指部位会有湿疹出现。我就会对自己说,该马上服用榆树皮粉了。然后它们就会消失了。如果我没有按时服用,有时也会瘙痒。所以对我来说这是非常重要的事情。”

"The slippery elm bark helped a lot. If I missed the slippery elm bark one day, I notice that I start getting an itchy eczema on my fingers the next day. And I try not to visualize it as coming back. I just say, got to take that slippery elm bark immediately. And then it goes away the next day. And I get itchy, too, when I miss a day of slippery elm bark. For me that's a very important thing.

当我想到要变得更为健康,而不是仅仅摆脱牛皮癣。所以我很高兴我得了这个牛皮癣,因为它让我有机会吃得更为健康,对生活模式更为关注。监管自己其实很简单,只要看我的皮肤的反馈。因此我可以说做什么对自己更好,因为我的皮肤变得更好了。从长期效应来看,我有机会去改善我的饮食模式,让我的消化系统更为健康。

"I think the whole idea of my self getting healthier. I really think that I'm getting more at the root of what's going on, rather than just treating the psoriasis. I am glad that I had the psoriasis, because it has me eating better, paying attention to how I eat. Paying attention to healthier living styles. It's something that I can easily monitor, because it's on my skin. So I can say I'm doing something that's healthy for myself. That's why my skin is getting better. In the long term scheme of things, I've had an opportunity to improve my eating habits and my digestive system.

从灵性层面来看,在最近的几年里,我一直注意要冥想和祈祷,这跟凯西的教导是吻合的。尤其是这一年,我开始宽恕他人,处理自己的问题,并使用肯定句。这些都是他的教导。看自己,对自己友善,当然有些需要去宽恕和改变的,只要接纳自己,就会成长超越。我走在正确的路上。”

    "On a spiritual level, just in the last five years, I've been very aware of meditating and prayer. This year - I can't directly attribute it to the Cayce protocols, but it's consistent with it - I've been really looking at forgiving people and taking my own personal inventory and doing positive affirmations. Which are definitely consistent with what he would say. Look at yourself, be kind to yourself, but also there are certain things you want to forgive and change - accept about yourself, and certain things you want to grow beyond. I'm on that path."

案例二Case 2

案例2是一位68岁的男性,咨询师。他的牛皮癣开始于十四年前。项目开始前,他这样描述自己的症状: 

   Case 2 is a 68-year-old man, a consultant. His psoriasis began around 1985-1986. At the beginning of the project he described his symptoms:

“有时我很痒,皮肤变得非常敏感,灼热的疼痛感。不过我觉得牛皮癣对我的健康没有影响。”

"At times, I feel itchy, and my skin feels sensitive and painful (hot). I don't think my psoriasis has affected my health."

照片显示皮肤有大块的泛红色,伴有白色皮屑的突出部分。

    Photography showed large areas of reddened skin, with prominent white scaly areas.

六个月后的复查,个案报告说他的皮肤问题得到极大的改善,除了牛皮癣,其他没有什么变化。牛皮癣程度远不是问题了,并且他的心态和情绪有所改善。他注释说,自己的退休降低了压力水平。

    At the 6-month follow-up, Case 2 reported that his psoriasis symptoms were "much improved," and his symptoms other than psoriasis were "about the same." (Note that he did not feel at the beginning that his psoriasis had any effect on his other health.) He felt that his psoriasis degree of disability was "much less disabling," and that his attitudes and emotions were "improved." In his written comments, he noted "My retirement has certainly lessened my stress level."

对比前后的照片,他的牛皮癣问题改善巨大。最显著的是背部皮屑完全洁净了。还有一些红斑,但很小。他的乳糖甘露醇比率从开始的0.084,到六个月后的正常值0.022区域。

    The before/after pictures of Case 2 revealed substantial healing of his psoriasis. Most notable was the complete disappearance of the white scales on his back. There were still large areas of red, but no scales at all. He also showed improvement on the two measures of psoriasis symptoms (Table 1). His lactulose/mannitol ratio, which had been high at the beginning (.084) was normal after six months (.022).

关于饮食准则的遵守情况,他说自己每天都遵守,几乎每天都饮用指定的草药茶。这两天完成的很好。第一次集会后,他只用过几次蓖麻油包裹法,有1-3次洗肠,有超过四次的脊椎调理。蓖麻油的使用不够,但洗肠和脊椎调理完成的很好。

    Regarding compliance with the protocol, he followed the diet "almost every day," and used the herbal teas "almost every day." This is excellent compliance with the diet and the teas. He used castor oil packs "a few times since the conference," had "one to three" colonics after the conference, and had "four or more" spinal adjustments. This is good compliance with the colonics, poor compliance with the castor oil packs, and excellent compliance with the adjustments.

    In an interview at the 6-month follow-up, Case 2 said:

6个月后的访问里,他说:“我对结果很激动。我以为能够在六个月里完全清理,现在看来需要稍长点时间才会完全痊愈。

    "I'm very excited with it. I had hoped to be completely cleared by six months, but it's progressed far enough along there, that I think it's just a little bit more time that will clear up everything.

皮肤改善巨大,我很开心。在过去的六个月里我觉得超过一半清洁了。还有一些,不足为虑。红斑而已,不痒不厚了。我感到再也没有像以前那样到处都是皮屑了,起床后床上也没有,很干净。也许我要说完成70%-75%。还有一些,我原以为可以完全清洁的。

    "My skin has improved quite a bit. I'm very happy with that. [In the last six months] more than fifty percent I would say. Again, it's not that everything has cleared up, but it's the degree, I would say. There's still some red spots, but it's not as thick and itchy as it used to be. I'd say it's improved in the sense that I don't feel like I'm leaving little bits of skin all over the place anymore. The bed isn't all full of white skin when I get up. It's pretty clean. Percentage-wise, I'd say between 70 and 75% probably. Even though it's still covering my body. I had hoped to have been completely cleared." 
 

案例三Case 3

案例三是一位47岁的女性,客户数据收集工作。她的牛皮癣是两年多前开始的。她描述自己的症状“瘙痒,难看的皮肤斑点”。她还有一些其他身体问题,丙肝患者。她注意到自己的饮食结构很糟糕,体重超重,总想食用大量甜点。

    Case 3 is a 47-year-old woman, a client data clerk. Her psoriasis began in August, 1997. She described her symptoms as "itching, ugly skin lesions." She also had some general health problems, specifically hepatitis C. She noted that her diet was poor, that she was overweight, and craved and consumed a lot of sweets.

六个月后的复检,案主报告说自己的牛皮癣症状有巨大的改善,其他的改变也很大。牛皮癣甚至不再是困扰了,她的情绪和心态都发生改变。整体健康的改善很值得探索,因为她患有丙肝,尽管这个项目并不直接针对丙肝这个问题,但整体的身体清理有帮助。尤其是蓖麻油包裹法的使用,会对肝炎的痊愈很有益。

    At the 6-month follow-up, Case 3 reported that her psoriasis symptoms were "much improved," and her symptoms other than psoriasis were "much improved." She felt that her psoriasis degree of disability was "much less disabling," and that her attitudes and emotions were "much improved." She did not provide written comments, but see interview comments below. Her improvement in general health is interesting, because of her hepatitis C, which was not specifically being treated in this project, but apparently benefited from the general cleansing regimen. The castor oil packs may have specifically affected the hepatitis.

对照前后的照片,这个案例的改变不清晰。因为之前的照片没有清晰展现她的牛皮癣患处,六个月后的照片显示根本没有牛皮癣。她的指标改善不少,乳糖甘露醇比率从开始的0.034,到六个月后的0.019

    In the before/after pictures, Case 3's improvement was difficult to see. Her before pictures did not reveal much obvious psoriasis; her after pictures did not reveal any psoriasis at all. She showed substantial improvement on the two measures of psoriasis symptoms (Table 1). Her lactulose/mannitol ratio, which was in the normal range at the beginning (.034) was still normal but lower after six months (.019).

关于饮食规律的遵守情况,她说自己大多数时候遵守,大多数时候使用草药茶。这比起她自己原来的饮食习惯来说,有非常大的改善。她几乎每周都使用蓖麻油包裹法,但除了在集会上,以后没有洗肠和整脊按摩。坚持蓖麻油非常棒,但洗肠和整脊完成的很差。

    Regarding compliance with the protocol, she followed the diet "most of the time," and used the herbal teas "most of the time." This is very good compliance with the diet and the teas, particularly in the light of her comments regarding her diet at the beginning of the project. She used castor oil packs "almost every week," had only the colonics at the conference, and only received spinal adjustments at the conference. This is excellent compliance with the castor oil packs, and poor compliance with the adjustments and colonics.

    In an interview at the 6-month follow-up, Case 3 said:

六个月后的采访,案主说:“我几乎完全洁净了。在背部下腰的地方有几点,几乎不算什么。我的头部没有完全好。除此之外,其他都很好。我对此很满意。”

    "I've cleared up. I actually just have a couple places on my back, my lower back, which is nothing. And my head has not cleared. But other than that, I've cleared everywhere else. So I'm thrilled with that."
