HRV and the Objective Measurement of TFT Results

By Roger Callahan, PhD.

Improved HRV measurements provide objective evidence of the deep power of Thought Field Therapy. We have applied these treatments to various psychological problems including stress for many years now. A pre-treatment and post-treatment HRV measurement demonstrates the physiological effect and efficacy of TFT treatment and the balance of the ANS. It is important to the field of psychotherapy as well as medicine, to have an instrument that can provide rapid, powerful, and accurate information as to the impact of any therapy or healing modality. Dr. Royal told me he believed that within a few years, most medical practitioners will have this instrument in their office in order to identify effective from ineffective treatments. I believe that in the near future, all psychotherapists should also have this equipment in their office in order to demonstrate efficacious treatments.

The HRV and heart scanning equipment is used in hospitals and research centers throughout the world to assess heart patients and their treatments.

The basic text book on HRV, Heart Rate Variability (Marek Malik, A. John Camm, 1995), states that HRV is the best predictor of the risk of mortality; better than smoking, etc. for those who have heart problems. Also, HRV is a good measure of mortality risk for problems in other conditions such as diabetes, and sudden infant death synDr.ome.

In developing TFT, I relied solely on the SUD (how the person feels before and after treatment) to evaluate the power of my treatments. I have also found that when I put a blood pressure monitor on a client we can often observe the blood pressure move toward normal as a result of treatment. There is no SUD for blood pressure and no other way to know if one is helping with this problem without the machine. The same holds for blood chemistry studies, and other lab work. The person's feelings are totally independent of the status of these kinds of issues. There is no SUD for HRV, though when a person’s SUD is reduced, the HRV will show the Dr.amatically improved state of the person’s autonomic nervous system (ANS).
