Doctor's explanation

I’m David Mc Dermott and I qualified as a Doctor and a Fellow of the College of Surgeons.

The current medical model is all about establishing a diagnosis according to the symptoms, and based on the diagnosis, treatment is instituted in order to get relief from these symptoms. For many people this is adequate and satisfactory. For a growing number, it is not.

If you were driving and a red light started flashing on the dashboard, it would make sense to see a mechanic as soon as possible with the aim of getting the light to go out. If the mechanic simply takes the bulb out, then the issue is resolved, if we are only talking about symptom resolution. However, it’s more sensible to make it unnecessary for the bulb to light up at all.

This brings up the issue of the cause and effect nature of symptoms. In mechanical systems like cars, it is easy to understand that, for example, a low oil level or a damaged radiator would be associated with a red flashing light on the dashboard, and filling the oil tank or repairing the radiator would mean that the red light no longer comes on. With dynamic systems (and humans are dynamic systems), the relationships are not so clear cut. If someone with a cold sneezes on a bus, maybe 2 or 3 of the 20 people nearby may catch a cold. How come? If it was a straight cause and effect relationship, all 20 should catch a cold.

This cause and effect idea is prevalent not just in medicine but in many of the alternative therapies as well. And it is possible to go and search for the causes of various illnesses and symptoms, and then you can find the causes of the causes, and so on. And at the end of it, you will have lots of information and may even be an expert on the causes of the causes of the causes, but your life and the symptoms may be no different.

The 4th R takes a different approach. When they teach Functional Relaxation you will learn how to organise your physical system so that it is operating optimally, in balance, with mental, physical and emotional alignment, working as it is meant to be.

When your system is functioning like this, there is no necessity for any ‘red lights’ to come on.

One of the things you will not get from The 4th R is a deep understanding of your symptoms because it’s not what they do. They know that there is a way for your system to be when it is functioning in the best way possible. And they go straight for this, and then teach you how to do it for yourself. While they may initially use your symptom(s) to get you the results you want, you will get much more than relief from them when you spend time with Charles, because you can expect that what he has to offer with his Profound Relaxation will affect your whole life.

So if your symptoms are what gets you to make the decision to go and work with Charles and learn Profound Relaxation, be thankful for them, and know that they have been useful…
