Why is the doctor’s office the place we go when we are sick? I suppose the most logical explanation is that they went to school to learn how to make us better. They specialize in it. They know what to give us to take pain away.
I used to believe this completely, until after my spinal chord injury, when I started getting chronic bladder infections, which turned into chronic kidney infections. I would go to the doctor, and before they had even received the swab back, they had me on antibiotics. Not only antibiotics, but Cipro, one of the most powerful general antibiotics - the kind that wipes out any living thing in its path. I wanted this. I wanted the pain to stop, and I didn’t want to die from a Kidney infection. Soon I started questioning why I was getting them - the doctors said it was from being paralysed, but if that was the case, according to their medicine, wouldn’t every paraplegic eventually develop chronic bladder infections and finally chronic kidney infections? I started looking into the effects that the antibiotics have on people, and learned that the body can develop a resistance to them - and that eventually they will stop working.

So, in between the doctors visits, I started checking out alternative medicine - Yoga, Meditation, Acupuncture, TCM, Muscle Testing, Body Talk, Juicing, Massage, Cranial Sacral Therapy. They certainly all helped here and there, but none were accurate every time. My most recent endeavour - body dowsing, started two years ago, and has bared the most consistent results I have ever experienced. So much so that I decided to learn how to do it myself.
Body dowsing works on three basic premises:
- The body is functioning in one of two ways -in balance and out of balance. When the body is in balance, it means that it can deal with what the world throws at it. It will be able to release any past residues on its own and fend off any viruses, bugs and unwanteds. When the body is out of balance, it will not be able to do these things. One might equate it to having a strong immune system, and a weak immune system.
- The body wants to be in balance, and will balance if corrections are made in priority order. The body works naturally in this way, but sometimes a dis-ease can get out of control and become complicated by too many factors for an already out of balance body to untangle. In this case, the body will need to reverse its steps, essentially, to rid itself of the dis-ease.
- Every person’s balancing / healing path is different. There is no general medicine or correction that works for every person, even if the symptoms look the same. There is no dis-ease that begins and follows exactly the same path on a person. If this were the case, every single person would catch every single dis-ease that came across their path. And we don’t.
The tools for body dowsing are a pendulum and your personal body book:
- The pendulum is used to find the weaknesses, in priority order, in the body. For this, you can use yes no questions, as well as ranking questions to find the appropriateness of one remedy in comparison with another. (Order your own pendulum)
- The body book is used to hold lists of weaknesses and potential corrections. For example, in my book, I have indexes of certain books, body parts, microbes, etc where a weakness might occur, or what might cause a weakness. In the corrections section, I have lists of every type of remedy I am aware of that could be used to balance the weaknesses. Your body book is only limited by your mind and creativity.
The great thing about body dowsing is that it is the mother of all modalities. The corrections for weakness include every other alternative healing remedy in existence, including alopathic medicine. The wonderful thing is that it gives the practitioner a reliable way to decide between them. It is a simple way of connecting to exactly what the body needs, without having to guess or make assumptions.
