Four Theoretical Models
• The Borysenko Model (immune system) • The Pert Model (nervous system) • The Gerber Model (psycho-mind) • The Pelletier Premodel (piecing things
together)

Borysenko’s Stress and Disease Dichotomy

Borysenko’s Immune Activity Matrix

The Pert Model
• Research have identified nerve endings that connect the CNS directly to the immune system.
• Neuropeptides (produced by brain) fit like keys into receptors of lymphocytes, altering (- or +) immune function.
• Studies document the effect of positive emotions on enhanced immune function (“molecules of emotion”).

The Pert Model (continued)
• Whereas before Pert’s findings, it was believed that cortisol played the crucial role in immuno-suppression, it is now thought that structural changes in neuropeptides, influenced by emotional thought, play the most significant role in immuno-incompetence.

The Gerber Model (continued)
A brief lesson in Subtle Anatomy:
1. The Human Energy Field(the human aura-electromagnetic energy)
2. The meridian energy system(based on Chinese medicine)
3. The chakra energy system(based on Ayurvedic medicine)

Support for the Gerber Model
• Electromagnetic pollution affects one’s health • MRIs are based on electromagnetic energy,
quantum physics, and the law of entrainment• Military design of weapons based on human
energy field• CIA use of remote viewing based on non-
local mind • Scientific studies validate many aspects of
Subtle Anatomy

Gerber’s Model of Stress and Disease “Thoughts are particles of energy. (Negative)
thoughts are accompanied by emotions which also begin at the energy levels. As these particles of energy filter through from the etheric level to the physical level, the end result is immunoincompetence.”
—Richard Gerber, M.D.

Ghosts in the Biomedical Model Machine
• These events leave people scratching their “biomedical” heads
– Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) – Spontaneous remissions (e.g., cancerous
tumors, etc.) – Placebos and nocebos (belief systems) – Cell memory – Subtle energy healings and nonlocal prayer
healings – Immunoenhancement

Target Organs and Their Disorders
• Initially or ultimately one or more organs in the body is the recipient of stress-based neurological and hormonal activity that causes wear and tear, to the point where it no longer functions optimally.
• Disorders, at the present time, appear to fall into two categories:
–Nervous system disorders –Immune system disorders

Nervous System-Related Disorders
• Bronchial asthma• Tension headaches• Migraine headaches• TMJD (temporomandibular joint
disorder)• IBS (irritable bowel syndrome)• Coronary heart disease
