Absolutely! Our bodies are very wise and wants to heal. Our emotions directly affect our health. Chronic stress causes illness, pain, depression, anxiety, eating disorders etc. I don’t think the medical profession is willing to give up their own dependency on writing prescriptions just yet. EFT, meditation, prayer, exercise, having a happy optimistic attitude as well has having a good support system all provide as much relief as a pill and without negative side effects!
My challenge is some arthritic pain especially in one knee that has been keeping me from the physical activities I enjoy. I consider my pain as temporary and that it does not belong to me. I am giving it back! I have found that EFT, meditation and prayer provide much relief and I will heal. I am grateful for websites like this one and for all of the wonderful information on health and healing. Thank you!
Hello, yes I fear emotions and thoughts impact (my) health. I fear it because I know that I nearly always think in a very negative way and have negative energy. And I don’t know if I can manage to change this (maybe a defect or something like a mental handicap).

Mind Over Medicine is ancient wisdom. Thank you, thank you, thank you for resurrecting it and working to get it mainstream. “Disease” is LACK of EASE. It’s right there in the word what we need to do for ourselves and others….comfort, calm, assure, relax, and let our default natural healing systems get to work. There are no limits, no barriers! And if there’s anything you can do to stop the constant barrage of TV drug ads, created to sell products by FOSTERING fear and anxiety..the opposite of the positive and peaceful mindset we need, PLEASE do. I’m certain the rates of diagnosis will fall significantly just by eliminating those ads.
I am a firm, committed believer in the Law of Attraction and have great joy abounding today after watching this video. Our bodies were created for this physical realm with vibrational energy and each of us have the power of that same energy to allow our physical being to be directed by intent or by default.
I have incorporated EFT as well as other forms of meditation into my physical life as a means to longevity and good health. I see my Doctor, whom I will suggest he read Lissa’s book, only once a year for the purpose of reviewing my body’s performance and health. I haven’t seen him for years for any other purpose …
EFT provides a means of removing mental, physical & emotional blocks to my ever expanding good health. I will be reading Lissa’s book ASAP, because after watching this interview, I know that the information contained within the book will support my Deliberate Intent to maintain and expand my healthy mind and body into the future for a long as I desire.
Thanks go out to the Tapping Solution, Nick & Jessica Ortner and to Dr. Lissa Rankin for providing me with one more solution toward my ever expanding good health!
I do believe our bodies have the power to heal and. Renew itself. I have fibromyalgia back and neck damage. Depression. Complex ptsd. Just started my learning on the tapping solution. Findinding it very exciting. But it’s very hard to remember all I’ve read and listened to I find it very difficult to keep I track with my falling. As I’m o. Many medications I feel that reading your book may help me eliminate the medications that are doing more bad than good for a start. Appreciate all your programs keep up the good work Jessica nick and. Few
This was a very informative interview & I totally agree that we need to start listening to
our own bodies in order to get well. I found her explanations of what happens in the mind & body
very easy to understand. I have started tapping more & find it does engage the parasympathetic nervous system which in turn calms the body & mind. This works very well.
Thank you for a great interview.

I know that in my life, the emotional part played a huge role! When I was 11 years old, I had hepatitis A. It was a severe form. I found out from somebody in the hospital that you heal faster if you laugh a lot! Since then I knew that your mind can help a lot your healing!
In my fourth year of university I had an accident on the mountain, while hiking. My face was badly injured, my hands and legs were in a cast! The orthopedic doctor who took care of me for more than a month said that she would have 100% cases solved if people would be like me, more optimistic and positive! She also said that only my mind helped me to heal my face exactly how it was! It’s a true story!
I totally believe that your mind can help heal you!
My mom had cancer twice and she kept saying:” I don’t think I had that, it was just a lump! It was out and done, going on with my life!” She is 78 yarns old!
I will read Dr. Lissa Rankin’s book for sure!
Thank you so much for inviting me to see this video!
Thank you Jessica for doing another wonderful interview with awesome Dr. Rankin!
I would love to be part of a team who promotes this big change in medicine!
Good luck and all the best,
Lili Elena Chitoi
I truly believe that I can cure myself and I love what you guys are doing.thank you so much.
In a different phase of my two decades of health crises, beginning with breast cancer (mastectomy and divorce at the same time with sole custody of my 6 and 7 y/o children), I was fortunate enough to be forced to find a new primary doctor as mine left our state. The one I stumbled upon was an MD who was taking classes with Donna Eden. He energy tested me and the meds he was considering recommending for me. He brought one of Donna’s top teachers into our area for visits. Working with her and doing my ‘energy homework’ made such shifts in how I could function. I began to read and take some classes. Though I have not totally staved off the tsunami of health issues that peculated through my first 4 or 5 decades, at 63 I am alive (several doctors said I would not be), functioning quite and moving forward on my journey to health. Through Donna’s work, I had heard of tapping years ago, but the protocol seemed overwhelming and I did not stay with it. Now, in a healthier space and with more time for me, a friend send me the link for the WTS. I listened to many and bought the program. My morning now includes both Donna’s 5 minute routine and listening to/tapping along with Jessica’s morning clearing and/or affirmation. Dealing with my aging parents has made this a very stressful winter,but with the help and increasing knowledge of what working with me energies can do for me, I am well, pain free and prepping my gardens. Thank you Jessica for making tapping something that keeps calling my name. Jacquie
yes, i believe emotions and thoughts have a great deal of impacting your body. i suffer withhemiplegic migraines and am way too many drugs on daily bases. doctor does have me on a cocktail to take at first sign of headache–i cal it the ABC COCKTAIL—-antivan, bendryl, & companize. that does work–most of the time. I HAVE BEEN TRYING THE TAPPING AND IT HAS WORKED SOMETIMES. I AM NOT VERY GOOD AT IT AND NEED TO LEARN IT BETTER. WILL TRY TO FIND YOUR BOOK.
THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR THOUGHTS.
Absolutely, your thought are whom you are,
16 years ago we moved to a new city knowing no one. Finding a doctor was a challenge however after researching the medical community I found whom I felt would serve us well. I made an appointment to interview this Dr. with the result that he has been caring for us ever since. The importance of knowing and trusting your Dr. is invaluable.
Thank you for this interview and by the way I was introduced to tapping years ago… your program has revived this invaluable tool amazingly.

I am convinced my bouts with chronic afib have been the result of years of burying anxiety. Now I am tapping and seeing I have power over the stresses and the anxiety. My Doctor is weaning me off of the medications. I am trusting that my faith in CHRIST and my tapping will conquer this distortion in my health.
Absolutely. Absolutely YES! It’s proven over and over again. Love supports health.
And I would love to win Dr. Lissa Rankin’s book.
Why yes I certainly do and I am so happy to do EFT and hear you guys say that. My doctor says I’m chronocly ill and have to take medicines my whole life, and I still believe in miricles and want to improve my life and allthough I have lost my job due to heartproblems, I still hope things will improve over time.. thanks for the good work. With love from Holland, Wendelin
I would love it if this would work for me. I don’t know, I feel discouraged right now. Thank you for teaching doctors. My experience with many male doctors is that they are the most despicable creatures on the planet…the lowest of the lowest scum alive. There are not words. I am very thankful that you are teaching some of the decent ones willing to learn.
I have known for many years that my body has the power to self heal if I only stop interfering and give it what it needs! I know that emotions and thoughts really impact physical health.
I am now 66 years old, take no pharmaceutical medications but, having had to cope with the stresses of a husband very slowly recovering from a mental breakdown and caring for my elderly, frail mother with dementia, I have recently been ill. In January I succumbed to the flu virus and three weeks ago I damaged the ligaments in my knee!!
Being reminded of tapping as a tool to help myself has been a huge help to aid my recovery from all the emotional and physical stress and I thank you for making this technique more widely known. I will pass on the information to as many people as I can.
YES!!! I do believe my thoughts, emotions and beliefs affect my heath and my ability to heal my body. I work at changing, reframing, what I think and the words I use to be more and more positive. I work with others to support their making changes in their lives as well. Thank you so much for all of the work you all are doing to support all of us out here!!! Thank you for providing supports, structures, guides, to help move in our process to uncover and release the layers that affect our health. Blessings to all who are providing support, and to those doing our own work with this support!!!
Absolutely. I decided several years ago that I wanted to change my health and get off of my medications. I had read that they were toxic to my body and just made my health worse the more I took. I was on Meds for Rheumatoid and osteoarthritis, high blood pressure, and heart arrhythmia plus many over-the-counter medications like Sudafed, Pepto-Bismal, Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Imodium, etc. I no longer take any of these. I have no medications of any kind in my house. I use EFT tapping, essential oils, homeopathic remedies, herbs, and whole foods now and my health is great. I am 60 yrs. old, use no medications, and have become a Natural Health Practitioner and feel great. There is a better way.
I believe that my emotions and thoughts play a big part in my health. I keep positive when it comes to my body pain mostly osteoarthritis and back pain. Tapping has helped my emotions and thoughts to stay in a positive state. I am not afraid of my body. I may not have the power to whatever pain my body will bring upon me but I have the power to lessen it and keep using it.
Hi, I definitely think our emotions and thoughts and emotions impact our health. I’m currently coming off antidepressants and having some major withdrawal side effects. Through tapping I’m able to reduce the effects massively. ???
I think through positive thinking and God will if we believe we can heal ourselves
I definitely believe that we can heal ourselves! Thank you for this video
Absolutely. Just read Louise Hay. Abraham-Ester Hicks. It’s called quantum physics your thoughts create your present and your future a positive outlook makes all the difference in the world
Yes. Yes.
Fantastic interview, can’t wait to read and use the book’s ideas and knowledge, I have hope that medicine is taking a turn to support self healing. thank you
Yes to both questions.
I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease at the age of 19. I am now 49 and have acquired breast and thyroid tumours as well as osteoporosis as a result of the disease and medications I have been on. I started tapping a year ago because I truly believe all of my tramas in my past starting from my abandonment at the age of 18 months has kept me I’ll my entire life.. I have been able to control pain somewhat by doing tapping e wry single day.
I was first introduced to tapping 30 years ago by an incredible, very forward-thinking doctor. I have seen it work WONDERS in all areas – emotions, health, etc. It’s such a simple thing to do that it’s hard to convince yourself it will have any effect.
Keep spreading the word!
I absolutely believe my emotions impact my health! For example, If I have great anxiety it affects my bowels and if I’m in a very happy place I sleep better and also don’t feel any aches and pains. I also feel that in many instances we do have the power to self heal. I m looking forward to reading Dr Rankin’s book. Thanks for the interview!
Humans have a power that we do not tap into. With faith all things are possible. I believe that God, Jesus, or a power greater than us, a light so powerful can heal all things. For me, it is often that I don’t have enough faith. When I learn to let go and have faith in the higher power, all things are possible.
Great interview.
Good to hear about a doctor training other doctors to look at medecine in this holistic manner. Thank you
I know that my emotions affect my health, and my intuition tells me that EFT is a proven way to “tap into” my own emotions and choose how they will affect my life.
I just need some guidance to learn how to make it a part of my daily routine.
Thank you for this! I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2014 and had to undergo a mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiation. I was always supporting my body with natural products, eating organic whole foods, avoiding alcohol and exercising every day ( running and yoga). This diagnosis came as a surprise , I thought that I could somehow be inmune to cancer. I searched for answers and was left with the emotional aspect of health . Maybe this was being overlooked. Perhaps working 12 hr days, putting everybody’s needs ahead of mine could have been the culprit. I have started tapping, doing mirror work, being more mindful. It seems that this alone has helped me deal with the rush of anxiety that accompanies the diagnoses, endless tests and treatment. It is hard to keep focused when the doctors don’t commit to affirmative statements , believing that you can be healthy again. Thank you for your inspiring and empowering words!
At the sweet age of 58, I am so thrilled to hear Jessica and Lisa confirm that I don’t have to age or suffer any diseases, finally I have freedom from the fear of my genetics, etc wow! I feel younger already!
Keep on doing your Grate work. Thank you all & God bless
Yes, of course our thoughts and emotions affect our health. I can create a migraine just be getting upset with myself over something I feel I did wrong or looked stupid by doing.
I now find myself tapping to stop my negative thoughts. I’ve had 56 years of negativity. I plan to live my next 56 years with positivity!
Keep getting the message out there about tapping and positivity. I know I’m sharing your message.
I’m so thrilled to know that this doctor is bringing holistic healing to the forefront of medicine! I am a nurse and time and time again I see repeat patients with the same ailment and the strong belief that it is their life sentence. It makes me sad when people succumb to their diagnosis and basically give up their life to spending it in the hospital when we are here for so much more! Thank you for the awesome video and I cannot wait to read the book!
I truly do believe that, if we can just stop, take time and think about our body, we can heal ourselves. I can NOT remember the last time I was sick. So many times, I would feel as if I were coming down with the latest virus or a cold and immediately, take time to rest and repeat to myself that I would not get sick. This has worked for me without fail for years.
I am learning about controlling pain and am intrigued by it.
Thank you I enjoyed the video
Thank you for the insight. Yes I believe we all can help ourselves in many ways including healing. Just finding the initial cause and Tapping will help everything. The Brain controls so much!!
Love this! Can’t wait to read Dr. Rankin’s book. In my work I help people to release emotional energy and I truly believe that it’s the root cause of every physical problem. Love that you are teaching people to listen to their bodies.
Thank you,
Mary
I believe that your mind, being your thoughts and emotions, can change your entire being. Years ago, I avidly listened to The American Monk and other Mind Valley programs.
My sister was diagnosed with cancer and given 6 months to live .I made a big freestyle homemade banner over her closet in her cancer ward room that read, “Every day in every way I am better and better in every way.” Long story short, she ended up living 7 years.
I have always believed that the power of mind is a powerful thing and have seen “Adam” at two seminars while he was training to be a doctor in British Columbia, Canada.
Since becoming part of the Tapping community with Nick and Jessica, I have learned to tap out a lot of my thoughts and emotions that have caused pain and suffering to me.
I have also come to learn from studies done that every cell has a mind of its own, and they are connected to the one Mind.
I do believe that we can heal ourselves. It would be amazing if from a very early age children were guided and educated on how to use there natural, inner knowledge to heal themselves and therefore be a positive contributor to the wellness of the planet and its inhabitants.
I firmly believe that is the case. I have been treated for “chronic, aggressive tumors” for the last 43 years. At first I was just an active, carefree child, teen, young parent, and always grateful that the tumors had only taken my lower legs and mostly just left major scarring elsewhere. I’ve been going to a major cancer treatment hospital to the top Drs for those 43 years, every three months. In the last ten years my main man, the dr I always considered the guy who saved my life, retired. A man that was a student way back when, became the top dog, and my new team leader. He told me the tumors were everywhere and they couldn’t do anymore drug treatments, except pain and antiinflammatory and ‘baby chemo’ medications. No more radiation, surgery, etc. just to keep going back so they could tell where the tumors were and what to expect. In my deterioration I suppose. Well, I doubled in size in about two years time! Something my body could not afford to do! Despite a healthy diet, sans a new chocolate craving, and continued activity. About a year ago the team sat down around and said, ‘well you’ve grown quite morbidly obese and really need to do something about that”. Thanks, doc I’ll get right on that! Anyway, about eight weeks ago I signed up for Jessica’s 7 weeks… Program and have been tapping daily, sometimes twice sometimes four or five times. I had been following Nick’s blog too and credit that for my sanity, but in those weeks I’ve stopped taking all of my medicines, about ten prescriptions, and all of my supplements. And I feel pretty darn good! I haven’t lost weight yet but I know that will come. And I don’t plan on going back to see the Drs anytime soon, it’s been a year and I’m still alive so I think I’m doing okay! Thank you all for giving us another avenue to make us empowered toward self-care!
I fully believe emotions and thoughts impact health. I believe I have the power to heal myself. Why? I have seen it happen so many times. Thus my last prescription for an unneeded antibiotic for a scratch on the head was thrown out. Did I ever get an infection? No. The threat of a high cost prescription for high blood pressure? I laughed it off as I knew I could move my blood pressure at will. I learned to do it on others at times. I saw doctors writing prescriptions for others that did not help and took maters into my hand and the patients got better. Just give the body the natural things it needs to do it’s own work and get your mental perspective right.
I have spent hours and hours in waiting rooms (finally decided to go in with the patient)..yes I argued at times and won. I have spent hours and hours in hospital rooms..at large hospitals. I have revived the dead twice. I have observed the poor diets given, the poor grades of even vitamins given…on and on. I have never been a patient myself save for one or two days (when I was born over 72 years ago…I don’t remember;-) but I remember clearly things from when I was 3 or 4. Yes, I totally believe in natural healing.
Time is of the essence to proceed into the natural health arena. The people are ready to shift to a healthier mind set and we all need to be supportive to Dr. Rankin
Hi, I’m new to Tapping, but I am definitely convinced that our thoughts can help us heal our bodies. I suffer from migraines and recently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. Prescribed lots of different medications, which have many side effects, I needed another option. Tapping saved me. With many days of dealing with my true feelings about family and understanding the unresolved feelings I have been carrying around after the passing of my father. Tapping helped stop the battle within. I was fighting my emotions always focusing on the negative which converted into physical pain. With wonderful tools like Tapping and healing books by Dr. Rankin, we can change our mindset and listen to our bodies. We definitely need doctors, but I believe healing can start from within. We already have the power to heal ourselves, we just have to believe it! Thank you for helping change society to create a healthier quality of life. All your work is truly appreciated.
Best regards,
Catherine
Definitely! I strongly believe God’s design of the human body is amazing.
For years, I felt a bit out of the loop when I would be looked down upon when
questioning and standing up to my doctor’s need to take care of my issue with medicine.
I knew there were better and more natural ways to do this.
I can’t wait to read what Lissa has to say in her book!
Thank you.
Sylvia
It goes without saying that our thoughts and emotions which are so dominant cannot help but affect our lives and most especially our health and attitude toward healing or otherwise.
I would love to read Dr Lissa’s book and she is doing such essential work.
Yes,I believe that the best Doctor for us is ourselves. We need to listen to our body more than we, usually do. And give it time to heal itself, before taking any medication. I fully agree with Dr Lissa and very grateful for the wonderful mission, And that She is awaking the awareness of how power our body is in healing itself. Wish you the best Dr. Lissa.
Love and light
Catherine
