Forever Young “A NEW YOU” MAKEOVER Winner!!!
Fine-tuning the Regime
By Nancy Jo Eckerson

This month has been very interesting for Helen. Dr. Kurss has recommended that she add two very different techniques to her current regime of chiropractic and fitness training. These emerging holistic approaches are Accelerated Healing with Carol Lee MacKay, and Quantum Energy Biofeedback Therapy with Derek Middleton, both located in the Women’s Wellness Center of WNY.

First, let’s explore the practice of Accelerated Healing which incorporates the use of energy medicine. “Energy medicine is based on scientific findings that everything in the universe consists of interconnected energy, including our bodies, thoughts and emotions. Energy can be intelligently shifted and corrected to bring about a state of health and well being, believes Carol Lee MacKay.

This energy, also referred to as “chi” or “life force,” travels throughout the body, nourishing our cells and organs. Problems arise when this flow of energy is hindered by stress, anxiety, trauma, negative thoughts or even genetics. When this energy flow is impeded, it can result in pain, illness, depression and creativity blockages.

“This energy medicine was a new concept for me,” said Helen. “I am not sure what to think of all this, but I know for sure that my session of Accelerated Healing was very relaxing. Carol Lee used soothing music and candles to make a very calming atmosphere. I was so relaxed that I actually nodded off a time or two.”

Each treatment is personalized according to the patient’s particular needs. In this non-invasive approach, Ms. MacKay begins with an intuitive body scanning to assess one’s energy flow. She then applies gentle touch techniques to treat the imbalances and discomforts in the body which can be emotional, physical or spiritual. “This shift of energy,” said MacKay, “creates the opening that allows your body to begin healing.”

MacKay is a Reiki Master Teacher and Energy Medicine Practitioner. Working in this field for 14 years, her expertise provides a strong foundation for learning accelerated paths to healing skills, intuitive knowing, clarity, creativity and self-empowerment.

In addition to Reiki Levels I, II and III, MacKay also teaches her popular course entitled “Awakening Your Intuitive Healer” at the Women’s Wellness Center. Look for information at www.AcceleratedHealing.net.

The next adventure for Helen was a session of Quantum Energy Biofeedback Therapy. Derek Middleton, specialist in the field, was a personal trainer for 30 years. Middleton trained with Lou Ferigno and Arnold Schwarzenegger in California before moving to Western New York. He then became interested in the healing modality of Quantum Energy biofeedback and switched careers to pursue this new avenue, becoming Board Certified to provide services with this technology. Using a non-invasive, advanced technology, the Electro Physiological Feedback Xrroid and Scientific Consciousness Interface Operating System (EPFX/SCIO), the body is scanned to find energy imbalances and health issues. This high-tech machine can detect viruses, nutritional deficiencies, allergies and food sensitivities. Measurements are taken of vitamin levels, amino acids, hormones, bacteria, molds, fungi and enzymes. With an immense bank of information and normal standards for comparison the areas in need of treatment become apparent.

Quantum Energy Biofeedback is based on principles of quantum physics as well as energy systems in the body. Once the analysis is complete, the machine can then send the proper vibrational energy to the cells or organs in need, to facilitate healing. Middleton steps in at this point, to discuss your part in the future of your healing, to give you guidance.

“Our habits perpetuate our afflictions,” says Middleton. If poor habits aren’t changed, the likelihood that you’ll regress is almost guaranteed.”

“I didn’t feel a thing during the therapy,” said Helen. “I am not totally sure about the concepts, but it was interesting to watch the process.”

Quantum Energy Biofeedback has been effective in treatment of migraines, fibro-myalgia, parasites, viruses, mental stress and toxicity. It can also aid in cutting healing time from surgery. Great advancements have also been made in the healing of lupus, ADD, ADHD and autism.

The process has been employed successfully since 2002 at St. John’s Hospital in Springfield, MI and is only available in New York State at the Women’s Wellness Center. Call the center at 688-0500 or contact Mr. Middleton directly at 479-2970.

Helen's Progress

The excitement is building toward next month’s unveiling of the new Helen Dinero on Channel 7’s PM Buffalo. By then, Helen will have a new wardrobe from the Jacqueline Shoppe of Williamsville, a new look, from the inside out, courtesy of Dr. Kurss and colleagues at the Women’s Wellness Center, and a new coiffure thanks to Season’s Day Spa and Corto’s of Hamburg.

Helen challenged her deep emotional feelings about new techniques and therapies employed in the world of healing. There were many prohibitions and much skepticism about chiropractic when Helen was younger. New thinking and risk taking has brought Helen some relief from the severe rotator cuff pain she was experiencing.

Helen offered a profound statement in a recent phone call. “I think the key to staying young is being open to new possibilities. You get a new lease on life when you know what you’re doing for your body, it improves your whole outlook. You just feel better inside and out.”

“Helen is still getting stronger,” said fitness trainer, Chuck Pelitera, of Pelitera’s Fitness Consultants. “She has not lost all the weight, but reports that she feels better. Her shoulder still hurts but not as badly. With weights she is working even harder, and we are constantly changing her machines. She is a super lady and a pleasure to work with.”

I’ll second that statement: Helen Dinero is a joy!
