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.
Please can you consider
making a donation to help us raise sufficient funds for a national
programme similar to the one above. Thank you.
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
