		<description>I have looked at various comments on this web page with a sense of sadnes that you appear to condem  a person before you have even tried what she is offereing which is to help you to heal at a very deep level without the use of drugs, if you look around you anywhere in the world you will see that flowers grow under the most extreme of circumstance so why then should they not help us with our healing. Any complimentary therapy should run along side conventional medicines it is not for anyone to tell us to only use one system we all have choice your choice is to deride something you know nothing about what a shame. Phytobiophyscis is the science of colour and light, neither of which any of us can live without. I suffered 41years of pain which NO medical doctor or system could help me with, I also sufferd with vaccination problems and many virus the only system to help me was the phytobiophysics, Doctors cannot even give antibiotics for virus they say let it run it&#039;s course, this system can help virus very quickly, look to your life to see what problems have been created that have caused you pain and suffering, storing that pain in the body creates illness at all levels this is the only system that I know of that works so deeply within the body that creates wellnes almost instantly yes you may have a healing crisis but the end result will be wellness a wellness that you may never have known before, so I suggest that you try before you talk such rubbish about something you know nothing about.</description>

		<description>I propose a new cure for all disease: Cut off one of your fingers. (Which finger will be determined by my licensed professionals, because we&#039;re treating each patient as an individual.)

And of course you&#039;re not allowed to criticize me before you tried it. Dare?</description>

		<description>It seems to me, that many of the people who are posting disparaging opinions on Phytobiophysics probably have never tried them.  It also seems that the pharmaceuticals whose only interest is keeping a billion dollar industry extremely profitable for their shareholders, at the detriment of those reliant and trusting enough to take any pill prescribed to them by someone in a white coat, have forgotten the origins of their profession. How many of the routinely prescribed drugs are plant /flower based? Digoxin for example is nothing more than the overpriced brand-name for Digitalis, or Foxglove to the common man. 

The primary difference between conventional medicine and Phytobiophysics is, that the pharmaceutical profession are looking for a 1 drug cures all; to some degree they have achieved this, even though different dosages effect individual patients to varying degrees. 

In comparison, Phytobiophysics starting point is that each client is an individual, therefore any medication or in this case remedy, will by its innate quality have an individual effect on each person treated. Certainly there may be similarities, and patterns indicating how the properties of each essence actually affect the client, however their effects remain as individual as the client is unique.  

As someone who has tried both conventional medicine and Phytobiophysics, I don&#039;t see why I have to choose one or the other; I think what is often forgotten is that this is complementary therapy, not necessarily an alternative. When I needed surgery, I turned to a surgeon; however when the only option left was pain management that involved heavy duty narcotics to manage my pain, I turned to Phytobiophysics.  

On a very personal level, I&#039;ve found the results of Phytobiophysics astounding; I have emerged from being crippled with pain, and bedridden by the violent side-effects of prescribed narcotics, to being virtually pain free, and with the ability to function fully.  In essence, surgery maintained my ability to walk, but Phytobiophysics gave me back my life. 

Perhaps the pharmaceuticals and medical professional who exist in their pockets, might do well to remember that sometimes it is prudent to look to your heritage in order to move forward.</description>

		<description>Hi,

Has anybody tried this?

Diagnose a patient seeking Phyto-biophysics help and make him/her believe (lie or delude or whatever) that Phyto-biophysics can help. This is to &quot;uplift&quot; his/her mind power, etc. Then, 

a) Give him/her some sugar tablets(something that looks like a Phytobiophysics tablets). Is this  a good placebo? 

b) Give him/her the real Phytobiophysics vibrational coated tablets.

The practioner should perform (a) first for a certain period of time where it suppose to take effect. Measure the result and hopefully he/she didn&#039;t improve and started to loose confident/belief in Phyto-biophysics.

Then, convince him/her to continue trying (this time with (b)) and then measure the result.

OK?</description>

		<description>Interesting discussion, despite my super hardcore sceptic outlook I have a small but fairly strong piece of evidence for Photobiophysics, the analysis stage, that is.

My mother recently visited somewhere to get an allergy test (at some acupuncture place in Ireland) but was persuaded to take a Phytobiophysics Heartlock &amp; Journey analysis. They attach some electrical monitor to the hand a small program generates and prints out an &#039;Emotional and spiritual journey&#039; analysis. 

The printout does appear to very accurately chart all 4 of her major emotional traumas throughout her life from. 

She claims she didn&#039;t speak to the man running the program about anything, indeed the traumas would be rather too personal for her to address with anyone but close friends or family.

I am looking to find out whether they are using a more &#039;well known&#039; stress analysis technique and then selling the pills on the back of it.</description>

		<description>&quot; If phytobiophysics worked, it would be adopted into real medicine.&quot; 

I wish it would be if it was available on the nhs it would save it lots of money but the pharmaceutical companies would be losing - isn&#039;t it them who train the doctors there fore i can not see them investigating alternative remedies out of the goodness of their hearts for our benefits .. 

Anyway ... after years of being very unwell and my health declining as time was going on with pills to mask the pain , anti biotics for my severe kidney infections ( on drips in hospital if i left it too late to get anti sickness tabs and anti biotics from my gp)  .. I had operations for Endometriosis ( to remove the tissues but it always grew back) and was developing more and more allergies , had no energy and generally in a bad way with no real help to cure me ...

My friend recommended i see Diana after he had great experiences with his health through her but i was giving up due to being told i was incurable by every so called expert i saw. Obviously i did go to see Diana , after a hell of a lot of nagging from my friend , and it was the best thing i have ever done people are amazed how healthy i am now and have no allergies .. it did take about two years to completely heal and to be honest i wasn&#039;t too bothered how it worked at the time but i now understand the principle theory of phyto and feel lucky that i have a friend who cared enough to nag me into giving her treatment a go.

I have no doubt that there are many quacks out there making money , just like in our health service there are people lining their pockets  and failing us. Maybe the thing to do would be to contact people like myself who has a history of operations and hospital visits to back up the phyto remedies and bring attention to the government so they could offer the treatment to patients who &quot;have no hope&quot; .. and find out if phytobiophysics really works , would they care to? 

I have no experience with other alternative medicines but am sure we would all benefit if there was more research into remedies that people claim work - if conventional medicine has all the answers we would not need to fund own alternative treatment .</description>

		<description>Hi bd - not sure if you are being coherent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Point 1) appears to contain no real point&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Point 2) is wrong. Pseudoscience manifests when scientific language is used to give the appearance of knowledge when you are actually speaking nonsense. Just because someone uses scientific terms does not mean they are being scientific.</description>

		<description>My dear ducklet:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 things to consider: (1) &quot;fragments of DNA RNA wrapped in a protein...&quot; is a description of what a virus looks like,NOT  a description of how it behaves. As you well know, (if you have indeed done your research, )modern medicine has no effective answer to viruses as yet...possibly because being able to describe the look of something is not the same as being able to deal with it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(2) describing something in electrical terms is not , as you call it, &quot;pseudoscience&quot;, it is physics.</description>
