Dr. Carol Look interviewed emotional freedom coach Rick Wilkes of Thriving Now on VoiceAmerica Radio. The subject was The Energy for Optimal Health.

There are many mystery diseases and syndromes for which traditional medicine cannot tell us what causes the condition or how it can be healed. Someday, their focus on the anatomy, biochemistry and neurology of the physical body may provide enough clues that causes can be identified and treatments arranged. Today, as individuals who have these conditions will tell you, there is a great deal of frustration and traveling from doctor to doctor to doctor to see if anyone has an effective treatment.

Let’s set aside for a moment how you got where you are… without the level of health and vitality you’d like. It’s a bit like waking up to find that you are in a swamp, east of Palatka—it smells bad, and you want to LEAVE! You can gripe and moan, wail and complain, “Dear God, How did I end up in PALATKA!?!” But it isn’t until you choose a compelling vision that will get you excited and hopeful again that you will actually make progress towards leaving “Palatka” behind forever.
