ST Sequential Therapy was Prejudice and fear

[Dr. Joe Rozencwajg, NMD]

Sequential Therapy was codified, but not discovered, by Jean Elmiger,
and later expanded by Rudi Verspoor, as ONE of the tools used in
Heilkunst, but it is by no means the main "instrument" of Heilkunst.

We all practice ST, when we claim to treat "layers" or when we see past
events appearing again and needing treatment.
I will try to summarize the way I see it and use it.

The basic concept is that every event in our life has an impact on us
and thus causes an action and reaction. Some of those are well
integrated and, although leaving a memory, have no further influence,
some are forever modifying our life because they have not been
integrated; the best know examples is the famous NBWS symptoms, ailments
from grief, from death, etc,....
Sometimes, while treating a patient with his presenting picture and
taking his obvious past history into account, nothing moves, nothing
works. We say that there is a block in the healing and lots have been
written about how to remove the blocks. Often this block is an
intermittent event that has to be attended to before going further back.

With the ST frame of mind, we ask the patient, as his homework, to write
down a precise timeline, as much as he can remember, which includes
everything: big events, small events, dentists, vaccinations,
medications, emotions, changes, anything.
Although we do not really know which one(s) of those events still has an
influence, except the obvious ones, we have a "roadmap" of what could
appear in our trip towards cure.
The original ST recommended treating everything, in the proper inverse
order of appearance. Nowadays, most of us treat what becomes obvious,
what emerges during the process. Sometimes we have big surprises:
forgotten (buried, repressed, suppressed) events appear and have to be
treated, some events that were "obvious" never emerge and have clearly
been dealt with by the Lebenskraft (VF)......... e.g. dental treatments
are big events and quite a few of my patients who did not "remember"
them, report, after a remedy, feeling the same sensation they had during
a root canal or a dental abscess; another patient reported the
reappearance of an abdominal pain that was diagnosed as appendicitis in
childhood but not operated upon.
Do we treat those reappearances? Not necessarily, only if they are
strong and do not disappear on their own within a day or two.
So what is the big deal? You have a guideline of what MAY appear; you
are ready to cope with it; you have a structured treatment plan, not an
erratic one where you wait to see what will appear without knowing what
may appear.

That is a VERY brief summary indeed......
