I added 3 new BioSurveys to the SET-DB™ Basic Package yesterday. They are:

• Geopathic Stressors
• Steroid Hormone Pathway
• Exocrine Body Fluids

This brings the total number of BioSurveys to 84.

For those who don't know, BioSurveys automate certain tasks in the ZYTO Elite or Select. I used the LSA-Pro when in practice. It came with some BioSurveys, but I never used them. This is how a basic SET-DB™ session went (I'll count the mouse clicks):

1. Select a patient from my database (click 1)
2. Start a new session (click 2)
3. Name the session (clicks 3 & 4)
4. Start a Linear Scan (click 5)
5. Type "set-db" and the first letter of the Collection I wanted to use and hit enter
6. Select the Collection and check the All box (clicks 6 & 7)
7. Move the Collection Virtual Stressors to the left and click Next (clicks 8 & 9)
8. Let's assume I accept the software's Range (I often don't) and click Next (click 10)
9. Copy everything in the Stressors Table to the Balancers Table (clicks 11–14)
10. Output the VSs to a clearing vial (clicks 15–17)
11. Generate a report (click 18)
12. Edit the report so the VSs I chose to clear the patient for only appear once (clicks 19–21, at least)

We'll just stop there. At least 21 mouse clicks, up to 40 if I fiddled with the Range  and had to hunt a little for the Collection I wanted..

A BioSurvey where I accepted the Range and just clicked Next would entail 7 mouse clicks.

Can you see why I developed a mild case of carpal tunnel and had to learn to mouse with my left hand? SET-DB™ visits shouldn't take longer than 5 minutes and my BioSurveys make that possible..

​You'll also notice I've added the names of the BioSurveys in the Basic Package to its page. PDFs of what's currently in the Collection the BioSurvey uses are available to SET-DB™ Practitioners only.

This was a fibromyalgia patient of mine from 2007. There's nothing "special" to be learned from this case. I only present it to once again demonstrate how quickly fibromyalgia patients can be feeling better with the SET-DB™ Fibromyalgia Treatment Program, and to lead into a discussion of why I sold the program as a series of treatments instead of allowing patients to pay visit-by-visit.

One thing different about this 41-year-old single mother was, she was still able to work full time. She had 2 or 3 kids (remember, this was 10 years ago) and lived with her mother. Speaking of her mother, as I recall she was so happy with her daughter's recovery that she offered to write a testimonial as well.

​Here are the 2 testimonials:

Notice how the patient wrote "I wanted to die." It was obvious she wasn't suicidal, but felt she had very little quality of life. Yes, she was able to work full time, but you and I know that some people can push through pain better than others. And her job was the main source of for the household. 

​Here's her Symptom Intensity Graph:

We see here the typical free-fall in the graph from when the patient presented to when they completed their first symptom questionnaire, after their first 6 visits. She went from 7.07 to 2, nearly a 75% drop in her overall symptom pattern (I tracked the top 13 symptoms of fibromyalgia). She ended at .92, an 87% drop in her overall symptom profile.

Now, what might have happened if I didn't sell the treatment program as a package and the patient was paying visit-by-visit? She likely would have dropped out after 6 treatments, or earlier. I can see where some may argue in favor of her stopping the program early. After all, at 6 treatments in her symptoms had dropped 75%. (The FDA approved Lyrica for the treatment of fibromyalgia after a couple of trials where it dropped ONE symptom—pain—by about half that.)

It comes down to your treatment philosophy: how well do you want your patients to get? I wanted to help my patients get as well as possible. If you learn one thing from reading Dr. Nambudripad's first book, Say Goodbye to Illness, it should have been ANY sensitivity can cause ANY symptom. I wanted to get rid of as many of my patients' sensitivities as they'd let me.

​Overall, the people who went through the SET-DB™ Fibromyalgia Treatment Program saw, on average, their symptom profile drop by 67% and 80% of the cases were successful, meaning both the patient and me were happy with their outcome.
