The Zone Technique
The Zone Technique, developed by Dr. Peter Goldman, is a healing method designed to balance the body. This technique was created from many of the teachings of Dr. Goldman’s mentors and influences. One such influence was Dr. Thurman Fleet who was the originator of Zone Therapy.
Dr. Fleet taught the following – “there are only six kinds of disturbances that can affect the human body. These are GLANDULAR, ELIMINATIVE, NERVOUS, DIGESTIVE, MUSCULAR, and CIRCULATORY. All diseased conditions, aches and pains, and other discomforts experienced by the body can be attributed to one or more of the above disturbances to the body’s 6 systems or Zones.”
According to Dr. Fleet, the human brain is composed of many centers. There is a center which controls the glands of the body, a center which is associated with the organs of elimination, a center which regulates the central nervous system. The digestive organs are regulated by a brain center. In the motor cortex of the brain we find a center which controls all of the muscles of the body, and in the caudate nuclei (both), we find the center which regulates circulatory organs.
Because the body may be properly classified as an ELECTRICAL MACHINE, these 6 brain centers represent the POSITIVE POLE of the body, and specific related points in the spinal cord represent the NEGATIVE POLE of the body. When there is a disturbance in any of the bodily areas, one or more of these centers are “shorted out”.
The Zone doctor examines the patient to determine which of the brain centers are not in harmony with the systems they control. This is done by the Zone doctor feeling specific points on the patient’s head. These points are related to the six brain centers by nerve connections. When a brain center is not sending the proper signals to its system, all bodily material associated with that system suffers. In order to correct this, the Zone doctor stimulates specific points along the spinal cord in order to reset that particular brain center so it can now send the proper signals to its associated organs.
