The Healing Crisis

I am sure you’ve heard the expression “you have to get worse before you get better” before. It migrated from the alternative medicine lingo into the common lexicon a while ago. This expression describes a pretty common phenomenon called the ‘healing crisis’. It is not exclusive to SCENAR and known in every holistic healthcare practice, especially in homeopathy. I will give you a brief explanation of the essence of this phenomenon.
When the body for whatever reason cannot solve a health problem, the problem usually becomes what we call “chronic”. It means the unfinished healing program still exists in the body, even though the body typically isolates the issue by forming an ‘energy cyst’. In other words, it surrounds the pathology with energetic barriers, so that the rest of the body does not bother any more trying to solve the problem that cannot be solved and wasting precious energy on doing so – energy that is needed for other, more important tasks.
Our body is an extremely efficient energy generator, yet it still often runs into the situation of energy depletion and has to set priorities to stay alive. Keeping the pathology behind protective energetic barriers (or inside the energy cyst) requires less energy expenditures than trying to resolve the issue. So that becomes the route the energy depleted system takes (sort of a compromise).
Energy cyst usually gives you some nagging symptoms, like chronic pains here and there, which seemingly never go away. Such pain still lets you function, and after awhile the body gets used to it developing tolerance. Your chronic pain runs somewhere on the background, and sometimes you even forget that it is there – unless for some reason it goes away. Only then you realize how much that pain was affecting you; something like, “I didn’t know how sick I was until I got healthy”.
The body, however, did not quite give up on the problem. As soon as the system gets some extra energy, it will try to resolve the chronic issue again, to finally get rid of it once and for all. But in order to do that, THE BODY HAS TO BRING THE PROBLEM TO THE SURFACE, into the awareness, INTENSIFY SYMPTOMS. And that’s the essence of the healing crisis. The symptoms are not new; they are your usual ones, just feel worse. With continuous treatments they will soon go away, usually within 24-48 hours. Yes, it may be very unpleasant 48 hours, but now the body already knows the way to health. It remembered the healing program and can follow it. Sometimes the body needs to turn the program several times though, each time quicker and easier, in order to get rid of the energy cyst for good.
If you want to resolve the chronic problem, this mechanism is unavoidable. There is no other way. That’s how the body works. The only thing we can do is to make the healing crisis smoother, stretch it in time, to make it more tolerable. SCENAR is a very powerful tool, and can give the body an energy boost very fast. In this situation, the healing crisis may easily occur, especially if one deals with:
- systems very low on energy yet responsive (the body gets some extra energy and rushes to solve the most nagging problem), or
- systems suffering from autoimmune disorders (the immune system is hyper-reactive and gives a very strong response even on a slight influence).
There are other circumstances, but these two are the main reasons for a dramatic healing crisis in SCENAR therapy.
That’s why we usually encourage everyone who has an intention to heal from a chronic issue and are energy depleted to get their energy level somewhat up first, before going for a SCENAR treatment. This can be done in a number of different ways (our favorite are the Blanket and the Soft Laser). If this is not possible, for one reason or the other, we recommend to keep the SCENAR sessions under 30-40 min. for the first 4-5 session, to avoid giving the body too much energy at once.
The possibility of a healing crisis is almost completely eliminated with COSMODIC ® technology.

SCENAR (SKENAR) as a new field of medical science and as a unique phenomenon is constantly growing and evolving. It’s evolution is being pioneered by LET Medical Research Laboratory in Russia led by Dr. Alexander Karasev – the original inventor of SCENAR (SKENAR) and COSMODIC ®.

These sophisticated and intelligent machines more and more resemble the famous Star Trek healing device… What it is going to be 5-10 years down the road? 🙂 Stay tuned…
