When you have a complaint and want to use a Paper Doctor remedy to relive it, you must first choose the right remedy. If you don't choose the right remedy, the remedy you make and drink is not likely to work. You may feel upset and think Paper Doctor remedies in general do not work, or you may just feel frustrated at having spent your time making and drinking a remedy that did nothing for you.Therefore it is very important that you learn how to choose the right remedy for any complaint you have. This will allow you to gain confidence that you can relive minor complaints through your own efforts, and also enjoy using the Paper Doctor remedies, because they are working for you.
It's not hard to choose the right remedy, but you must remember a few things.
STRATEGIES FOR CHOOSING THE RIGHT REMEDY
- Make A Match
For a Paper Doctor remedy to relive your complaints, it's healing action (the description of the complaints it can heal) must closely match your complaint. Although all Paper Doctor remedies are named for complaints they can heal, to be certain that you have chosen the right remedy don't rely solely on its name. Before you use the remedy, read the description of its healing action in the section on the remedy instruction page called USE THIS REMEDY IF. Then ask yourself "Does the description I am reading match the complaint I experience?"
Many remedy instruction pages contain a section called Special Indicators. Special Indicators summarize the healing characteristics of a remedy. At least one of these Indicators should be present in your complaint in order for that remedy to relieve it.
- Check The Alternatives
Before you use the chosen remedy, check for alternative remedies that might work better.Here's how: Read the section on your chosen remedy's instruction page called ALTERNATIVE REMEDIES TO CONSIDER. This section contains a list of additional Paper Doctor remedies that might match your complaint as well or better than the one you have already chosen. Take a minute to read over this list. Perhaps it will suggest a remedy you have not thought of.
For example, let's assume you feel nauseated. You could just turn to the pattern for the INDIGESTION, page 161, and make the remedy. Although it is a powerful remedy, it will not relieve your indigestion unless its healing action actually matches your complaint. Therefore you should also consider
NAUSEA AND VOMITING , page 193, andFOOD POISONING , page 149, which are listed as alternatives for this remedy.It's tempting to summarily dismiss NAUSEA AND VOMITING because you don't have vomiting. And you could dismiss FOOD POISONING because you are certain that you haven't been poisoned. But remember, after reading the descriptions accompanying each of these remedies, you might change your mind.
By reading the description of all three of these remedies before you decide on one, you will make a better decision. You will be more likely to find the best match for your complaint, and therefore more likely to relieve it.
Follow this practice regularly and you will gain consistently better results from the Paper Doctor remedies.
- Develop Your Skill
By following the simple remedy selection processes described below, then reading your chosen remedy's description, as well as the descriptions of relevant alternative remedies, before you use any remedy, your success using Paper Doctor remedies will increase.After selecting but before using any remedy, ask yourself "Is this the best remedy for me now? Does it closely match my complaint? Is there a better alternative?"
REMEDY SELECTION METHODS
Three remedy selection methods have been built into The Paper Doctor. All three are quick and easy to use. Each is designed to help you quickly find a likely remedy. Either that remedy, or one of the alternatives listed with it, will be most likely to relive your complaint.The three remedy selection methods are called:
The Logical Method The Index Method The Affinity Method WHEN TO USE EACH METHOD
If you are new to The Paper Doctor, use the Logical Method.If you can find your complaint listed by name in the
Remedy Table Of Contents on page 1, use the Logical Method.If you can't find your complaint listed by name in the Remedy Table Of Contents, use the Index Method.If, after reading the descriptions of two different remedies, you can't decide between them, use the Affinity Method.
Here is a description of each of the three remedy selection methods.
THE LOGICAL METHOD
This is the easiest way to choose a remedy if you are a newcomer to The Paper Doctor. Here's how the logical method works:
- Each remedy in this book bears the name of a complaint.
For example, if you have indigestion, choose the remedy name INDIGESTION. The
- Choose the remedy whose name matches the complaint you have.
Remedy Table Of Contents , page 1, lists the remedies by name and page number to make it easy to choose a remedy by the Logical Method.THE INDEX METHOD
But what if you look through the Remedy Table Of Contents, and don't find a remedy whose name matches your complaint?When your complaint is not the name of any remedy in this book, you can use the Index Method to find the most appropriate remedy.
As an example, let's say you feel nauseated, but when you look through the Remedy Table Of Contents, you do not find a remedy named Nausea. You find Nausea And Vomiting, but you're not vomiting. What to do?
Look in the Complaints Index, page 341. In this index I have listed many commonly-experienced complaints, in alphabetical order. Following each complaint is a list of those Paper Doctor remedies likely to relive that complaint.
Look through this list for your complaint. When you find it, select the most appropriate remedy from those accompanying it. Note that the most appropriate remedy may not be named what you would expect, so you might have to read several of the remedy descriptions in order to locate the most appropriate remedy for you.
For example, the index entry for "Nausea" lists these remedies:INDIGESTION, page 161To locate the most appropriate remedy, turn to the page number given for a likely remedy and read that remedy's description under the heading called USE THIS REMEDY IF. Of course, you can just skip over those remedies which clearly don't apply. In the above example, men would just skip the remedy PRE-MENSTRUAL SYNDROME.
FOOD POISONING, page 149
STOMACH FLU, page 257
NAUSEA AND VOMITING, page 193
PRE-MENSTRUAL SYNDROME, page 221
MOTION SICKNESS, page 189
TOO KEYED UP, page 289Note: the Complaints Index does not list the names of diseases. It only lists possible discomforts you could experience. So don't go looking for your disease in this index. You won't find them. Diseases are the province of the medical doctor, not the Paper Doctor, which has remedies only for minor complaints.
THE AFFINITY METHOD
Use this method when you have located several likely remedies but can't decide between them. The Affinity Method is a "tie-breaker". You would use it when you couldn't decide between two or more remedies - even after carefully reading the descriptions of the healing action of each.
Here's how to use the Affinity Method:
Some people report that, when they are seeking a remedy, and have narrowed their choices down to two or three remedies, they sometimes feel attracted to one remedy more than the other(s).
This is not something that occurs because of the remedy name or its description. Most people seem to respond to the way one geometric pattern looks, that is, to its shape. The shape itself makes them feel something. When asked to explain just what their attraction consists of, they seem unable to do so, except to say something like: "I am drawn to this one".
The Affinity Method is an intuitive method. It operates in a non-logical way, and seems to have validity for those who can use it. It takes advantage of the highly visual aspect characteristics of each of the Paper Doctor magnetic patterns.
After having selected several remedies that might work for you, if you can't choose between them, give the Affinity Method a try. Look carefully at each of the magnetic patterns on the remedies you have chosen. If you feel more attracted to one remedy than another, by its appearance alone, use that remedy. It is not necessary that you understand why you are attracted to the one you choose.
Remember that Affinity is a personal thing. Don't ask someone else to choose a remedy for you by looking at the shapes. If you do, the remedy they choose probably won't work (for you).
Examples of common situations in which using the Affinity method might be appropriate. You can use Affinity when trying to choose between:
THE COLD PREVENTATIVE and ALLERGIES
THE COLD PREVENTATIVE and FLU
ALLERGIES and ENVIRONMENTAL SENSITIVITY
TENSION HEADACHE and THROBBING HEADACHEPUTTING THESE METHODS TO WORK
Finally, to summarize the principles of remedy selection:
- A remedy will only relieve a complaint that it closely matches.
Therefore, choose every magnetic pattern carefully.
- After choosing a magnetic pattern by any of the above three methods
read the description of its healing action in the section called USE THIS REMEDY IF on the remedy instruction page accompanying that pattern. Then read the SPECIAL INDICATORS section.
- If the description of a remedy's healing action does not seem to match your complaint, the remedy may not help you
even though you chose it by one or more of the three methods portrayed above.
FINAL NOTE
If you regularly use kinesiology (muscle testing) as a method of determining the appropriateness of a remedy, you can use it to find the best Paper Doctor remedy as well. Just place the subject's finger on each magnetic pattern you want to test. If you have trouble getting a clear response, place the Remedy Board under each pattern and try again. The magnet in the Remedy Board will amplify the pattern's healing potential.For How To Make A Remedy, see next page(050). (index)
