Did a search on the forum and, while I found references to NLP and the Andreas', didn't find the phrase.

Is anyone using Connirae's Andreas' "Core Transformation" process in working with PD, either their own or someone else's?

If so, I'm interested in comparing notes on your experiences with it.

BTW, hello to reverrt (sic?).. I've seen you around in many of the same old places, and totally agree with your post on avoiding gluten. I have not had any wheat, rye, oats or barley products in over 25 years, the only dairy I do is yogurt, and I went vegetarian 9 months ago to conserve my energy. How you doing?

Sorry for not putting a link to the Andreas' site re: Core Transformation.

It is a process that is very powerful and one I am exploring using with PD (I am my own guinea pig)

Google: coretransformation.org

(this is NOT an affiliate link, but apparently I haven't posted often enough to be permitted to post links yet))

It is simple enough to learn from the book, or a recorded/ live training.

It is one of a handful of process tools I have found (among the strongest) that is actually more effective than what *looks* to be hype.

Here's one of the reviews of the process- the review that best fits my own experience with using it.

"I am astounded. Suddenly we have a bridge from psychopathology (or plain human problems) to enlightenment. There it stands, every beam in place and traffic already passing over it. I know therapist types will make ready use of it, and I hope religions will embrace the profound implications of this fine new bridge into their territory.”

If anyone would like to explore its use with PD, please private message me. I'm thinking of setting up a blog to track my experience with it & PD.

Full disclosure: I have Skyped with Connirae, written an article for their blog (12/13), and have used the process in my coaching practice (AM now semi- retired) I am NOT offering sessions using it, but am most interested in using it as a research tool into its use (think of it like EFT-- helpful but not likely curative) in managing the challenges of PD. (how about using it with the motivation to exercise?-- do any other PWP have issues with that? <grin>)

Glad to hear from you George. All communitees need both continuity and change. There for awhile it was feeling like a ghost town around here. I actually saw a tumbleweed go by at one point, but then rea;ized that it was a dust bunny. Anyway, they promoted me to Grand Wazoo or something. No raise on my pay stub but I get to wear a uniform like Carson used to wear for his "Great Karnack" bits. But only on Thursdays.

As for the real me, he is doing rather well at the moment but needs to get his act together on the flu and put it behind. Then he is going to beard the lion and go to an endocrinologist to demand some answers to the most obvious questions. And he is going to make an appointment with a new GP who is about 30 years old and is certified in internal medicine. He ranked patient plus marks of 14 out of a possible 15 patients which should make him a patient individual. Assuming that we get along on the initial visit I am intending to lay it out for him - I have an amazing disease that modern medicine doesn't have a clue about. An awful lot of my friends have it as well and it is time that someone took a fresh look. Why does my current doc dismiss the idea that it may need more than the cursory ten minutes that seems the standard now. It is going to be a hard climb but I think that I have enough material to put him over the top. Hopefully there will be a Nobel waiting there for him to find. With my help, of course.

With the new GP on board, I plan on turning to an amazing endo that the angels sent when they began to realize that they had pushed me too far and that now would be a real good time to go get the wings cldeaned.

This came about in a manner that may give me cold chills. bI was searching the archives for clues and came across an endo who quickly caught my interest in a possible role for the endocrine system in PD. He was interested in the subject, but was trapped in Texas. But I looked a little farther and found that he had moved from that hardly civilized sister state to my own Tennessee. But before he did so, he published a paper on the pituitary that got me very excited. You see, after he published he and his wife came to see that, while Texas was OK, there were too many Texans running around messing things up. So he agreed to give his wife's native Tennessee a chance. And so, like some reversed Jed Clampett they returned to the place that they belonged. Which by sheer coincidence is my hometown. I pass by this holy man and his office several times a week.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. But sometimes the Universe not only gives you a true cigar but also lights it for you and rubs your back while you smoke.

Well, George did ask!

Good to see the synapses are still clicking!

Re: your "obvious questions" for your endocrinologist: these are the sort of ?'s my PD specialist usually answers (95% of the time) with a "we don't know..", which really makes me wonder what they are researching...

After I told him I had gone vegetarian, he told me "good-- there is a study in Brazil that says that's good for PWP."

This led me to wonder why he hadn't suggested it to me before, since he knew I've been gluten & dairy free for 25 years.

Hope your visits go well.

While I am not a chemist, biologist or medical professional, I DO know a thing or two about changing my brain chemistry without drugs-- that's why part of my focus now is on using "Core Transformation" and "amygdala clicking/ tickling" to manipulate my experience of PD.
