The EFT Research Programme is a division of The Quantum Wellbeing Centre C.I.C., a non-profit community interest company.

This division is in the process of establishing a UK National EFT Research Platform; it's focus being to co-ordinate evidence-based trials using EFT for PTSD, Depression, Addiction, Anxiety and Physical Pain. This is supported by collaborating with the highly successful Iraq Vets Stress Project in the U.S.A. (www.stressproject.org)   under the direction of Dawson Church PhD, Principal Investigator.

The following video shows how the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) has been successful during a 6 day  American Veteran Study  conducted by Dawson Church, Principle Investigator

 Caution: The beginning of this 20 minute video may be distressing to anyone who is currently experiencing PTSD.

The latter half shows how after only 6 sessions each participant experiences high levels of relief.
Although the participants in this video are all USA soldiers, your generous donation will enable us to carry out similar programmes on our soldiers and members of the public who have been exposed to traumatic situations here in the UK.
The Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) comes under the umbrella of Energy psychology which is a scientifically validated body of research and core set of treatment techniques that conceptualises thoughts, feelings, emotions and other psychological phenomena as manifestations of energy working though the system of the human body. If some psychological phenomenon is causing pain, distress, or a lack of function to an individual, the somatic protocol of EFT works to disrupt the flow of energy causing that phenomenon. EFT is one of the more common techniques in the Energy Psychology repertoire and is also known as energy tapping, a practice, similar to acupressure, that involves manipulating and tapping certain points along the body's energy meridians to influence psychological events.

Research Funding For Complementary Therapies
Less than one third of one per cent of the funding available in the UK for medical research goes to research into complementary therapies. With such a small amount of money available for this research, it is very hard to establish an evidence base for complementary therapies particularly as RCTs are extremely expensive to conduct.
But when you consider that as many as one in five people in the UK have used a complementary therapy, this low level of funding is clearly disproportionate.  Many people, especially those living with chronic conditions, will take the reasonable view that since medical science does not have a simple fix (or in many cases, any fix at all), they need to look elsewhere for solutions - or at least for approaches that will improve their quality of life.
Where the efficacy of a complementary therapy for a specific illness or condition can be demonstrated, there's a much stronger chance that the therapy will become available on the NHS – which means that people who currently can't afford complementary treatment will have the same access to better health and wellbeing as those who can afford to pay. Doctors speak the language of science and rightly demand proof that a treatment is effective, but equally many acknowledge that it’s hard to measure the effect of a feeling like hope on the human body
