“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.” Hebrews 11:1,3

HEIDI’S VISION

Today, healthcare has become a controversial subject. There are a variety of opinions about healthcare expenses, insurance coverage, the prevalence of disease, nutrition, the need for vaccinations, and numerous other hot topics. Although there is a rising interest in holistic medicine and alternative therapies, there continues to be skepticism towards these treatment approaches in the conventional medical community. Individuals who choose alternative healthcare can experience loneliness and isolation when they receive criticism and opposition by healthcare providers and family/friends. Skepticism may also arise in the Christian community with concerns that alternative healthcare approaches are based on other religions and the New Age Movement.

As a Christian, wife, mother, healthcare professional, and student of holistic health, Heidi Helgeson has had the unique opportunity to view healthcare from allopathic (conventional), integrative/complementary, and alternative perspectives. Heidi’s vision is to help bridge the gap between these healthcare worldviews. She also is passionate about educating healthcare professionals, Christians, and the general public about the alternative modality Field Control Therapy.

Heidi has had a successful career as a registered nurse working in a neonatal intensive care/maternity care unit for over 28 years. She also taught prenatal education for five years. A few years ago, Heidi had the opportunity to pursue a masters degree as a neonatal nurse practitioner; however, she decided that she had a different vision for her future. In 2010, Heidi entered the Masters of Arts in Holistic Health Studies (MAHHS) program at St. Catherine University, where she had also received her Bachelors in Nursing. In the spring of 2012, Heidi also joined the Field Control Therapy (FCT) Graduate Program.

WHAT IS FIELD CONTROL THERAPY?

Field Control Therapy or FCT is a multidimensional form of health care developed by New York physician, Dr. Savely Yurkovsky, MD involving a variety of applications including “causative” homeopathy, toxicology, quantum physics, biophysics, and other alternative health care practices. Several years ago, Dr. Yurkovsky researched various approaches for homeopathic therapy for his son who was diagnosed with a debilitating condition. He experienced significant frustration that his son was not being adequately treated through conventional or alternative medicine. Yurkovsky’s goal was to design an integrative and cohesive approach to therapies that would successfully treat both mild and chronic/severe diseases. Eventually, he was able to effectively treat his son’s illness through a unique and innovative therapy that was non-invasive and based on the scientific principles of quantum physics.

FCT addresses the systems of the body on a bio energetic level—which includes the energetic health and balance of the cells. According to energy medicine theory, the cells of the body consist of atoms with energetic fields made up of subatomic particles. The presence of harmful substances disrupts the normal function of these subatomic particles, leading to disease and dysfunction in the body. FCT safely facilitates the body’s ability to remove these harmful influences from the cells while restoring the cellular energy fields within the organs and tissues of the body.

FCT patients are tested for the energetic signature of harmful substances and the corresponding stressed organs through non-invasive bio-resonance testing. This is assessed using the technique of non-force applied kinesiology by detecting subtle, involuntary muscle movements. While lying in a supine position, the FCT practitioner tests clients for possible energetic imbalances using water imprinted with the energetic information of the human anatomy and various organic or inorganic substances. These energetic imprints are contained in sealed glass vials and placed on a metal plate connected to an aluminum rod by a circuit. The patient holds the rod in his/her hand while the practitioner places the vials on the plate, observing for corresponding involuntary muscle responses which are evaluated and measured through physical touching of the patient’s ankles. The body’s innate intelligence indicates which substance is a priority to remove from the body, as well as which organs need the most support in restoring energetic cellular balance.

Individualized vials containing water that has been imprinted with the energetic signatures of relevant substances are given to the client. When patients take these remedies, they facilitate the body’s natural ability to correct disruptive patterns within the cells of the body. Patients also receive vials holding the energetic imprints of organs and tissues that require restoration and support. The patient typically is given 10-25 different vials that are taken by placing one drop underneath the tongue in a specific order and timing that is determined by the practitioner. While taking the drops, the patient is required to reduce exposure to electromagnetic frequencies by staying away from computers, cell phones, television, etc. for a short time- usually two days. Some patients also may use devices designed to neutralize harmful effects of electromagnetic frequencies in the body. The effects of these frequencies can interfere not only with the body’s natural biorhythms, but also with the rebalancing effects of FCT. The configuration of how the remedies are taken and the length of time between visits to the FCT practitioner will vary from person to person. There are no two protocols that are alike. Each plan is unique to the individual. FCT practitioners may recommend dietary changes and certain supplements; however, the use of these is normally minimal. As the energy balance of the cells is restored, the body begins to heal itself. How quickly a patient notices improvement in their symptoms varies depending on multiple factors and ranges from rapid relief to longer, more gradual responses in more complicated cases.

HEIDI’S EXPERIENCE AS A FIELD CONTROL THERAPY PATIENT

Heidi became interested in Field Control Therapy five years ago when she made an appointment at an acupuncture clinic in western Wisconsin. She chose to be evaluated for preventative healthcare and improvement of her overall health. One year after her initial FCT evaluation, Heidi discovered a tic bite in her ear. Two weeks later, she started having fatigue, aches throughout her body, and neurological changes. She felt an unusual sensation in her head when she moved it side to side. She made an appointment with her family doctor, and blood tests showed that 2 of the 5 titers for Lyme disease were elevated. Heidi’s doctor offered to prescribe antibiotics for Lyme disease; however, she decided to treat the Lyme and other co-infections with FCT. Her symptoms greatly improved within a month.

Heidi’s practitioner also treated other members of her family with FCT. Heidi’s daughter had a significant case of Lyme disease that was treated for several months with antibiotics. A couple of years later, the FCT practitioner treated her for several Lyme co-infections. Her daughter was also treated for a skin infection that she previously attributed to psoriasis. When Heidi’s daughter developed bursitis in her shoulder and received multiple therapies and medical interventions with minimal relief, her doctor recommended cortisone injections. Instead of continuing to use conventional medicine, she chose to use FCT to treat the bursitis and almost immediately obtained relief. Field Control Therapy has played an important role for Heidi and her family members in their overall health and wellness.

Recently, word has spread about the testimonials of breakthroughs and positive results with FCT. There currently is a considerable waiting list at the clinic in western Wisconsin with patients that travel from places throughout the country for treatment. Heidi saw a need here and decided that this was her calling.

HEIDI’S FIELD CONTROL THERAPY TRAINING

Heidi is currently enrolled in the 24-month FCT Graduate Program. The program was originally developed by Dr. Yurkovsky and is now being taught by 2 naturopathic practitioners from Ireland who have worked directly with him. The program has been designed as a training curriculum for students worldwide. Students are required to complete a variety of studies, attend a series of conferences, and demonstrate skills validation.

Recently, Heidi and her fellow FCT student, Paula, have been doing FCT case studies under the consultation and supervision of one of their teachers. Through these case studies, the process of discovering and unfolding the layers of health issues has amazed Heidi. She especially feels compassion for individuals struggling with emotional, cognitive, and psychological issues. Heidi has found that there may be a previously unidentified energetic component to these situations that, when revealed, can be released through FCT, offering relief to patients who are struggling in these areas. Heidi is thrilled to see the physical, cognitive, and emotional progress her case studies have been making.

HOLISTIC HEALTH AND THE BEAUTY OF INTELLIGENT DESIGN

“For you created my inmost being: you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” Psalm 139:13-14

As a Christian, Heidi has found that her journey with both holistic health studies and FCT to be humbling and rewarding. She has approached the learning curve with humility and gratitude. Heidi has found that her faith in God deepens as she marvels at the beauty and amazing structure of the human body at a physiological and energetic level.

"Scientific creationists seek to describe and understand the world God created, demonstrating that science and the Bible can both co-exist. I see the same parallels when describing the human body. Biomedicine has provided invaluable knowledge about the human body and through it has come lifesaving innovations and principles that I see in my work as an RN on a daily basis. Through my MAHHS (Masters of Arts in Holistic Health Studies), the FCT Graduate Program, and a personal experiences as a FCT practitioner as well as a patient, I have come to see that another paradigm of human health exists, one where the body is viewed from a bio energetic standpoint. Just as our brains' and hearts' energetic nature can be measured through EEG's and EKG's, so too does every cell and therefore every organ and system in the body possess a unique energetic signature. Disease or dysfunction within the body is a disturbance of this energetic balance and is viewed by many as the precursor to biochemical changes that are detected via laboratory tests. I have found through FCT that our wonderfully engineered bodies can communicate information to the practitioner about where these imbalances are. Ultimately, regardless of which modality is chosen, bio energetic or conventional, the body has been designed to heal itself. The God who created light in the darkness is the same God who created this energy within the cells that quantum physicists believe are made of electrons that can be simultaneously both particles and waves. In short, I believe our God is a quantum God, not limited by time and space. I see Him every time I interact with the marvelously created individuals I have the privilege of testing."

Heidi is eager to educate Christians about holistic health and Field Control Therapy. She acknowledges that some Christians may express concern that FCT involves activities that can be found in aspects of the New Age Movement. Heidi recognizes that Christians should be discerning about the choices they make regarding alternative healthcare. On the other hand, it is also important that the Christian community come along side individuals who are struggling with chronic and severe illnesses and who choose holistic therapies that those in the Christian community may not be familiar with. Healthcare is a personal journey. For those facing a chronic or debilitating condition, it can become lonely and frightening. Christians make up a body of people that ideally love and support each other. It can make all the difference when Christians open their hearts to demonstrate kindness and compassion and seek to understand the science behind holistic therapies such as FCT.

BRIDGING THE GAP

“When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place. What is man that you are mindful of him, the Son of man that you care for him?” Psalm 8:3-4.

Heidi is also interested in Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM), which includes many alternative therapies such as alternative medical systems, mind-body interventions, biology-based therapies/homeopathic remedies, manipulative/body-based therapies, and energy therapies. Integrative medicine is the term used to describe when these complementary approaches are used along with conventional medical practices in hospitals, clinics, cancer centers, and other healthcare settings. Heidi’s desire to bridge the gap between conventional and alternative medicine has become the foundation of her Masters in Holistic Health Studies graduate thesis.

"CAM use has risen at a rapid rate over the last 15 years and yet as many as 77% of patients using Cam do not disclose their treatments to their providers. Research also indicates that patients using medical treatments sometimes hesitate to disclose this to their alternative health care practitioners. My two research partners and I are exploring the theory that the principles of quantum physics may provide a bi-directional bridge of understanding between patients and providers of integrative and conventional health care. One of the goals of our research is to empower patients by giving them a language grounded in science that has applications for a large number of alternative therapies such as FCT. The words quantum physics can seem like intimidating science to the average non-physics major until concepts are explained in an understandable way that can be applied to their own lives. We are also interested in the theory that providing biomedical providers with a science based conceptual framework for describing CAM will increase their understanding of alternative modalities without having to learn about each one individually. We are looking at action oriented research, possibly focus group interviews and surveys for collecting data."

After completing her graduate training, Heidi plans to continue working as a staff nurse; however, she will not be operating under her nursing license as an alternative healthcare practitioner. Heidi Helgeson and her business partner Paula Bayley will open their clinic, Balanced Health Solutions LLC, in Stillwater, MN at the beginning of the year. They are thrilled to serve in this much needed capacity in the Twin Cities region and outlying communities.
