At National Holistic Institute, I learned Western and Eastern styles of massage therapy: Shiatsu and Swedish. the word holistic means, looking at a whole person not only it’s parts. so, We also learned Aromatherapy, Tai Chi, the concept of the Yin and Yang, Vegetarianism and Psychotherapy along side anatomy, PHYSIOLOGY and kinesiology. I will write about all these subjects on this blog. for now, I WILL show basic physiology: the 12 body organ systems and how I cured my disability.

Here is a chart of the 12 body organ systems:

1. Digestive System
2. Muscular System
3. Integumentary System
4. Lymphatic System
5. Endocrine System
6. Nervous System
7. Skeletal System
8. Male Reproductive System
9. Female Reproductive System
10. Respiratory System
11. Urinary System
12. Circulatory System

I recommend buying a physiology chart and posting it on your wall. Also, having a writing table or desk to sit up straight and to learn one system per day is a good strategy. Another very important part of learning is to make it relevant to your life. For example, The first question a doctor will ask you is, “what did your grandmother DIE OF?” If she died of diabetes, then you must study to cure diabetes. You might have a different disorder, like Anxiety; then you must study as if you are going to cure anxiety.

“I wish that I had known this earlier,” is what I hear people say, and it keeps people from trying and learning. But the truth is that life keeps moving forward, and easing the physical and mental pain can be a fun daily activity. For example, instead of saying, “my shower,” I say, “my spa TREATMENT.” Instead of saying, “my meal,” I say “my NUTRITION time.” Instead of saying, “my BEDTIME,” I say “My resting PRIVILEGE.” Just like that, I have POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS FOR MYSELF, AND REST, NUTRITION, AND HYGIENE are very important and ALLOW THE BODY’S NATURAL healing process.

My clinical diagnosis was SCHIZOPHRENIA, given to me by a psychiatrist. A psychiatrist studies the nervous system, so I focused on this system out of the 12 systems. yet, all 12 systems are interconnected (AFFECT EACH OTHER,) so I needed to understand all of them. However, “getting to the root of the problem” is LITERALLY THE CURE, SO I TACKLEd THE CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS, and it’s system first.
