Its about time for some answers.....
Has the pain in your life BECOME your life? Is the pain in your life depriving you of having a life? Have you lived with debilitating symptoms for years, compromising your lifestyle, until your symptoms are so bad you have no option but to see a doctor? Have you lost countless hours of your life sitting in the waiting rooms of various doctors?
Has anyone ever said to you, "Nothing can be done. You'll have to live with your condition the rest of your life."
And, maybe you don't have just one problem. Maybe you feel like you have such a constellation of conditions that you can barely tell them apart.
I want to tell you about a true, new scientific breakthrough!
How a Balanced Brain Can Bring You a Whole New Lease on Life

Did you know that this is a short and simplified list of some of the symptoms of long-term stress? “That’s funny,” you say. “My doctor didn’t say stress causes these.”
You know, I recently had a Happiness Booth at the Boulder Creek Festival in Boulder, Colorado. I wore a smiley-face T-shirt and joked around with people. I asked those who stopped in at the booth to examine this list of problems and put check marks next to the problems they experience. I was astounded how many people checked most of them! Can you believe it? I got proof about just how many people are walking around unhappy, plagued by real, debilitating conditions that won't go away! The conditions seem so unrelated. But, what if they're really all quite related to each other?
You've probably had this experience. Maybe you go to your doctor for headaches, maybe migraines. Does he or she (I'm going to call doctors "he" from now on, just to make it simpler) ask you about digestive problems? Or trouble concentrating? Or depression? Usually, they just prescribe migraine medication. What about all your other problems? Do you really need a drug for each different problem?
Do you feel like you've already tried everything? Have you been to every doctor? I, too, have been to every doctor, both traditional and non-traditional. I, too, have tried this and that supplement. I used to keep several large trash cans in my basement. I just chucked the empty vitamin and medication bottles in them.
Over the years, I must have filled 9 trash cans full of these empty plastic and glass bottles. But most of the stuff I took was just going down the toilet – literally! It was damn frustrating, taking all that stuff and having it not work. Frustrating, discouraging and expensive!
I could have gone bankrupt looking for the right drug!
Wasn’t there some better way to figure out what I should be taking than just trying EVERYTHING that came along?!? I now know there is… but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
You know, I’m not trying to do a sympathy number on you here. I just want to let you know that I’ve been there and done that. My "bull detector" has been in red line so long, I just can’t do it any more. I’ve heard enough hype and overblown promises to fill trashcans full with pill bottles. So now I can smell it a mile away. But more important, I CANNOT do the same thing to you! I mean, how can I feed you a line if I’m so sick and tired of it that I’ve had it up to here with all this absurd nonsense! I mean, I’m jaded!
Now, I agree, there’s some good information out there. There are some really good supplements, too. Some have really helped me on my journey back to health. But, at the risk of repeating myself, 95% of it all was junk, bunk, bull and often just plain wrong.
The amazing thing about a true scientific breakthrough is that it is likely to work for you.
So, what breakthrough have the scientists come up with that makes things different now? Listen, you and I are different people, right? What works for me may not work for you. So why is it that when you read about some health idea or supplement or therapy, it assumes it will help YOU? I’ll tell you why. Ever heard the old adage about the 3 kinds of untruths? ...Lies, damn lies and statistics!
This means that in the past, a scientist would test a drug or substance, and if it worked better than nothing at all, it was considered a success. Well, that kind of thinking needs to go out with the Industrial Age. But now, in the Information Age, we can test. In the past, and here is the key, they couldn’t (or even worse – wouldn’t) test to see if it worked for you! So, no wonder nothing worked very well!
Let me say this again – Test first, then treat.
You may say, “My doctor does that.” Good. He’s on the right track. But, with all due respect to modern medicine, after testing, your doctor doesn't know there might be a bigger picture. Most MDs are overworked, and can’t stand the SHAME of knowing they are not keeping up. Doctors are perfectionists by choice, and their standard of perfection is what they learned in medical school. Most doctors have a deep, dark secret. They can't admit there might be a better way, because that would imply they are wrong.
Your doctor’s SHAME is your LOSS!
You lose access to the latest, most cutting edge science because your doctor can’t admit there might be a better way. You lose a chance at the healthiest, least side-effect-filled life you can live. You lose the chance to have a treatment tailored as precisely as possible to your condition. In short, you lose the chance to feel really well, and, even more important, really HAPPY.
I’ll explain more about the relationship between your physical health and your happiness soon, but first…
So, your doctor has done the tests. Good. He knows you have a problem. And he quickly whips out his prescription pad and voila! Down you go to the pharmacy and there is the answer to your problem. A prescription drug! Sometimes, you get lucky, and that’s all there is to it. The drug works. Problem solved.
But, as you get older, your health problems get more complex. And the side
effects of the prescription medication become more numerous and bothersome.
Sometimes, you get a new drug just to counteract the side effect from another
drug. Can you say "vicious circle?"
Let me ask you, isn’t there something wrong with this picture?
Of course there is. You and I both know that. The ugly truth is that modern medicine is great for emergencies, but has a very poor track record when it comes to healing long term health problems.
A friend of mine likes to put it this way. “If you don’t understand something, follow the money.” So, let’s back up and look at the big picture.
On average, 18 cents of every dollar you spend goes to health care. That works out to 1.5 trillion dollars in the United States alone! That's Trillion with a 'T'! That would be like stacking one dollar bills two thirds of the way to the moon.
Can we agree that this is a LOT of money? So where does it go? Well some of
it goes to pay the nurses and doctors, some goes to pay the clinic or hospital,
but one half trillion goes to pay the very large multinational drug cartels.
So, if you wanted to earn half-a-trillion dollars, wouldn't you make very,
very sure that your product is used early and often? Wouldn't you do whatever
it takes
to get your product name in front of as many doctors as possible? Wouldn't you make sure
you get your cut of the 3 billion prescriptions that are filled every year?
And why stop there? Why not advertise to the end customer directly? Or bribe
the doctor outright to prescribe your high margin drugs?
Have you seen all the ads for drugs lately, on TV and in print? This is exactly what is happening. The drug companies make the biggest profit by giving you just enough relief so you feel like the drugs are doing something. But you have to keep going back again and again. And again.
Drug companies know that if they actually cure you, they have lost a customer! …and all the mega-profit that goes with it. So they spend about $10,000 per doctor to make sure they keep prescribing the latest, greatest, most expensive drug they have. Is it any wonder our health-care costs are spiraling out of control?
Who Else Is Researching Your Health Condition?
Originally, the federal government funded disease research. In the U.S., slowly this has shifted until today, 90% of all disease research is funded by the pharmaceutical companies. Can you say, "Stack the deck?"
OK. Make sure you’re sitting down. Because I’m going to ask you a really chilling question. So be prepared to let it sink in.
Here we go. “Just because a multinational drug syndicate can make BIG profits by being awarded a government patent for 21 years, does that mean the drug is the best thing for you?”
Wait a minute, you say. Isn’t it the job of the government to make sure drugs are safe and effective? Well, yes and no. I could spend a lot of time explaining the very serious shortcomings of the drug regulatory system. The news media has tried to report the rampant problems with the FDA. But strangely, the information is quickly hushed up.
But let me cut to the chase. It all comes down to that sick joke about “Trust us, we’re from the government, and we’re here to help.” If you dig down into what’s really happening, it’s a case of the fox guarding the hen house.
If you want to understand something, follow the money. Just because somebody is making money from your pain doesn’t mean they care even one bit about your happiness. Your happiness is not part of the drug approval process. Let me say that again: "Your happiness is not part of the drug approval process."
And there are. Some doctors don’t take bribes from the drug companies. Some doctors are not shamed when they realize some of what they learned in med school is outdated, antiquated. Some doctors forge ahead and search out the scientific breakthroughs. But, they’re hard to find. And, it’s very expensive trying out one doctor after another. And, usually, your insurance doesn’t cover it. And it takes TIME to see doctor after doctor, looking for the open-minded ones. And there’s no guarantee you’ll ever find one! And, while you're looking, you're not getting any better!
Now, I need to apologize. I’m sorry to stress you out with all this bad news. Stress is the last thing you need. And I do mean the very, very last thing you need. You see, that’s where the problem really starts. As I’ll explain, most long-term diseases are caused by stress and cause stress. And stress makes most diseases even worse. It’s a vicious cycle. Stress leads to disease and disease leads to more stress. So you become less and less happy, and you wonder what happened to your life. And to make matters worse, there's no way to test what those drugs are doing to your happiness in the long run.
Your doctor's getting his information from
the Big Money Drug Companies. They can afford to send it to him! He doesn't have time to read the latest scientific
research. In fact, soon you’ll know more about what it takes to have a
truly healthy, happy body than he does. You see, there is no big profit to be
made in making people truly happy, because you can’t patent happiness!
And without patents, the drug companies would soon be out of business. Did you
get this? Drug companies can’t make outrageous profits by selling you
happiness.
But neither can I. I wouldn’t even think of telling you to stop taking your
medications. Your life, your health, has been a remarkable journey thus far. As
much as I'm passionate about side-effect free alternatives, we must be very
careful how we get from here to there. We must take baby steps. Your body
is used to those drugs, sometimes even dependent on them.
Your lack of health, your stress, and your unhappiness are not caused by a simple problem. You’ve taken your whole life to get to be this sick and stressed out. You might be able to pop a high profit drug and make it look like a solution by tomorrow. But we’ve discussed this. Poisoning your way to health just does not work very well. Drugs may be simple solutions, but in many cases they are also deadly traps!
You may find you are dependent on them
Most drugs treat symptoms, not underlying problems
They can cause nasty side effects
Missing a dose can be dangerous
They're very expensive (which drives up your health insurance costs)
They have unknown interactions with each other
You must follow their darn directions about taking them with or without foods and at certain times
You might need to be careful about drinking that glass of wine you so deserve
You may be embarrassed about your sexual performance if you're even still interested in sex!
Is this too much honesty for you? I can't guarantee you complete drug-free health and happiness by next Friday, or next month, or next year...
I am going to tell you about a NEW WAY.
What I’m going to tell you is recent science. This science is really sound, but it’s in the nature of science that there will continue to be refinements made. Often it takes a scientific discovery decades until it get into our hands in a practical way. I want to shortcut this process, because your health and happiness don’t have decades to wait!
Now, on to the details:
This new revolutionary science is called Neurobiology. It is now a standard and important part of all psychology courses. It is the science of how brain chemistry actually works. Although this science has been researched for over 50 years, the development of anti-depressant prescription drugs (SSRI's), such as Prozac, took center stage in the 1980's.
Only in the last 2 years has Neurobiology really come into its own. It has moved from its initial research phase to being able to present test results in a practical way. You can act on these test results to significantly improve your health and happiness. The tests used to be slow and expensive, and required excruciatingly painful spinal taps. Now they are quick (a couple of weeks), affordable and painless.
Neurobiology explains why you feel the way you do in a measurable way. It explains your emotions. It explains your moods. It explains the way you act. It describes the underlying imbalances of your ill-health. In short, it explains why you are they way YOU are!
For example, are you stressed? Neuroscience can test for that. Insomnia? That too. Anxiety? Yup.
Using this revolutionary approach, you may find that your existing medications work better and you need fewer of them. This saves you money and reduces side effects. Oh, and you might be happier too.
It would be like being at a Grand Canyon Overlook! What a view!
We have developed a program that is personalized for YOU. Your stress, and with it, your health problems, need to be unwound slowly. I’m sorry to break it to you, but there is no other way. “The quick fix” is a masterful illusion that was created by the deep-pocketed drug cartel. It has been spending billions and billions of dollars to convince you to give them your hard earned dollars.
Yes. This program costs money. I can’t tell you how much, because every person is different. When you are dealing with health issues, rarely is there a true magic bullet.
However, think about it this way. Maybe you know someone who’s been going to a therapist for years due to depression or unhappiness. Maybe you yourself have gone to a therapist. Is anyone happy yet? Therapists have a conflict of interest between making money from you and curing you. What if, instead, you could balance your brain, and then suddenly you would start to feel happy again? What if you just weren't unhappy any more? How much money could you save? How much more money could you earn? Think about it.
Great question! And the answer is really interesting. The researchers and doctors who have been developing Neurobiology are truly dedicated to understanding the brain. They come up with real solutions. They have proven that it is possible to be happier by balancing the brain.
These far-thinking researchers approach doctors who they think will be open to steering patients toward this cutting edge path to health. Trouble is, it’s not what most doctors learned in medical school. Just because there has been a scientific breakthrough doesn't mean your doctor knows about it. He can't necessarily take time out of his busy schedule to learn that everything he was taught in medical school just became obsolete.
However, some brave doctors have been questioning traditional medicine. A few doctors are listening to the beauty of this model of health. For example, I’ve been listening.
And you won’t find this program advertised anywhere. Scientists are focused on the science, not on getting the word out. And this is where I come in!
There, I laid it all out for you. I told
you it’s going to cost you time and money. I said I can’t guarantee
it will work for everyone. I even said it might not be easy and quick. I gave it to you straight. It’s
going to take work and effort on your part as well. If you're still with me, it proves you're
really determined to be happy and healthy.
The only magic bullet is YOU, and your determination to unwind your own stress
and reclaim your own happiness. It’s entirely up to you!
The drug companies might keep you on the hook, buying their expensive drugs for the rest of your life. In fact, they’d like that. Lots of people are taking drugs they’ll never stop taking.
My goal is different. With the guidance of this breakthrough in Neurobiology, I want to help you actually regain your birthright, better health! In the long run, this is going to be the most awesome opportunity you will ever have. If you don’t have your health and with it, your happiness, then what have you got!?!
Learning about this program is a lot like crawling through a dense, forbidding forest for years. Suddenly you break into a clearing and emerge at a Grand Canyon Overlook! You see a vast, wide open, beautiful, absolutely breathtaking terrain such as you’ve never even imagined could be possible. You have to learn to negotiate this new terrain, and yet it’s the most incredible experience of your life. You never knew life could be so much more than it always has been! Now you realize that the only purpose that crawling through the underbrush had was to bring you to this opportunity.
So, what do you have to lose? Take my exclusive, free, fun, short, easy self-evaluation to find out how great you truly are! Then I’ll send you a free series of highly educational emails that shows you how this secret new science can help you reclaim your true self.
Thanks for listening,
Dr. Anna Bergman, D.C.
