Chronic Reversed Polarity:
A New Insight into Healing

By Tys Dammeyer

Intellectually, it made sense to me that physical health is a reflection of nutrition, but the more I studied spiritual matters, the more I realized there is far more going on with our biology than a simple cause and effect relationship between physical health and physical nourishment. Faith healing, energy healing and other so-called miracles happened regardless of the actual diet of people involved, so I had to let go of my original belief (instilled by my mother) that health depended on what one ate. Yet it was also true that people often healed themselves of diseases the medical establishment considered hopeless, using only herbs or nutritional regimens.

It became increasingly clear to me that what I needed was a larger conceptual framework for understanding our biology. That framework would have to include the mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of the human being as well as the physical. Looking back, the answer has been staring me in the face for years, yet from my previous mindset I was unable to see it. The answer has to do with the electromagnetic nature of the universe and of ourselves as an integral part of it.

The person who provided me with the latest key for unlocking my understanding was Keith Smith, herbalist and originator of the concept of "Chronic Reversed Polarity" or "CRP". Keith is a quiet, gentle person with a passion for helping others heal themselves. He has studied and worked in the field of herbal medicine and energy balancing for 26 years. The book "Indigo Children" contains a short section describing his discoveries and his work with people whose magnetic polarity has become "switched" or reversed.

I sat with Keith as he worked with patients and listened to his descriptions of our electromagnetic nature. "We are a self-contained, self-generating energy system," Keith explained, "and the energy we use in our activity far exceeds that which is chemically available from the food we eat". Where does the other energy come from? Keith talked about the ancient Eastern philosophies that believe the breath is a source of energy…positive energy is taken in through the right nostril and negative energy through the left. (Positive and negative are electromagnetic terms. The north pole of a magnet always has a positive magnetic field and the south pole of a magnet has a negative magnetic field. There is no relationship between positive and negative used in this context and good or bad energy. ) Thus breathing can be seen as an electromagnetic energy "pump". I have heard of people who follow ancient yoga practices and manage to live on nothing but air, though I have never met one personally, so perhaps there is something to this theory. For those people practicing yoga regularly, the deep breathing exercises taught seem to increase the available energy even when there are no changes made in the diet.

Keith has had tremendous success with his system of correcting "switched" polarity in people with a wide range of physical, emotional or behavioral problems. By assisting people to re-establish the correct north-south magnetic polarity, he enables them to effectively heal themselves of many problems that medical science has yet to find solutions for.

One of the conditions Keith has worked with extensively is Attention Deficit Disorder (A.D.D.) and Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (A.D.H.D.). To date, Keith has not found a single individual with the symptoms of these conditions who had a correctly balanced polarity. All of his patients with those conditions have been shown to carry a reversed polarity magnetic field. When these patients follow Keith's herbal treatment program, their symptoms are often completely gone after a 4-6 month period…the time it takes for the magnetic field to re-establish the proper polarity.

Some of the other conditions that Keith feels can trace their root cause to CRP are chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, depression, anxiety, all autoimmune disease, cancer and in part Alzheimer's. For example, Keith has never seen a person with an autoimmune disease who was not switched. When placed on the herbal program to re-establish the proper magnetic polarity, people with these conditions noticed their symptoms improved drastically or disappeared altogether.

I asked Keith what he thought caused CRP. His answer was "stress". He described what often happens to a magnet when it is banged with a hammer or dropped a long distance: the magnetic poles reverse. Exactly the same thing can happen to the human energy field, though the stress doesn't have to be a physical blow to the body. Environmental stresses such as poor nutrition or exposure to toxic substances, emotional stresses such as worry or difficult relationships, or physical stresses such as overwork and lack of sleep over a prolonged period of time can all stress the human being enough to cause them to switch polarity. Keith has found that some children have been born switched due to the stress of a difficult pregnancy.

Keith explained that under short time of stress, most people will reverse polarity temporarily. That is why a stressful event in life is often followed by some kind of illness like a flu or a cold. Many people are able to regain the proper polarity within a short time of the stress and their health isn't permanently affected. However, when the stress is prolonged or when a person is subjected to a number of different stresses within a short time frame, the body is unable to recuperate and CRP becomes the norm for that individual.

"Picture your battery in your car," Keith told one patient. "What happens if there is a short circuit in the electrical system? Eventually the battery drains and becomes dead. Human beings with reversed polarities are like a car with a short circuit. Their batteries are continually being drained. Because the human body has a remarkable ability to recharge itself, it keeps running far longer than a car with a short circuit, but it will run on a reduced energy flow and will have more and more difficulty with the immune system."

One of the books Keith uses as a reference for patients mentions that humans run most efficiently at a frequency of 62-68 hertz. When the body's frequency drops below 58 it is very susceptible to viruses and bacteria. If it drops below a frequency of 42 hertz, it has no defense against cancer. It makes sense then to keep the body running at the higher frequency, which can only happen when the magnetic polarity is normal rather than switched.

Keith mentioned that reversed polarity is "contagious" not in the way viruses and bacteria are contagious, but through the proximity of electromagnetic fields. Just like a piece of iron held close to a magnet will take on the properties of that magnet, one human being can be influenced by the magnetic field of another. Keith has found that hyperactive children with switched polarity often have parents who are also switched. It is not clear whether the child catches it from the parents or the parents become switched due to the stress of dealing with a hyperactive child, but the treatment works best if the entire family is treated.

As I listened to Keith explain the process to his patients a lot of questions I'd had about healing and the physical body were answered. It occurred to me that the healing energy used in systems like Reiki or Therapeutic Touch is probably electromagnetic in nature. A person with a strong and well-aligned electromagnetic field can have an effect someone with a reversed field. However, it also explains why some healers are drained and eventually become ill from doing healing work…their fields aren't strong enough to keep from being influenced by a patient who is switched. Keith's herbal approach allows individuals to rebalance themselves, without needing to borrow electromagnetic energy from others.

It also became clear to me why some authorities advocate sleeping with the head pointed to magnetic north. This would help the human energy field re-establish its ideal north-south polarity while sleeping, even if it had experienced some stress the previous day.

Keith's work with the human energy field fascinates me. The success he has had with thousands of patients using his system is phenomenal. After speaking with some of the people he has helped and seeing the results of his work, I am eager to learn as much as possible about this wonderful healing alternative…a definite gift for the new millennium.
