If you have a potential interest in studying FCT and would like to know more about the basis of FCT, here's a link to a new thread which hopefully explains one of the various important principles on which FCT has been based: why it is that we work "with" the body, in its process of self-regulation, rather than merely imposing substances and manufactured solutions that we believe are what is required. . .

Another analogy, to illustrate the point, is the one of the bus that has to get across town. Imagine that the other side of town is good health, so we want to help.
The best way to help would be to board the bus and drive it across town. . . right?
But wait, the bus already has a driver. This is the essential point. . .
As they say, too many cooks spoil the broth. . . . and too many busdrivers will mean conflict. We'll have one busdriver (the body) trying to steer one way, while the other (our interventions) are forcing the bus to steer elsewhere. End result: chaos. Rather than getting across town any faster, more likely the bus will be delayed further, and might even crash if the drivers really fall out!
Think about it: each time someone ill is given a pill, a supplement, an operation, or some other medical intervention, is the body's busdriver taken into account? Or is the solution being imposed, as though the bus has no driver? The answer to this question raises very serious concerns about the very basis of over 95% of existing medical practices, including alternative ones.
If the body was not self-regulating, it could not function. This process of homeostasis is what establishes good health and healing: we could never maintain the human body in good health from outside - but thankfully the body does that itself. And yet when we offer "medical" input, we conveniently forget this, and pretend that the body is an inanimate object that we are treating.
We consider variables - such as cholesterol, blood pressure or acidity - and try to change them, as though we are dealing with test tubes in a laboratory. But this bus has a driver, and all of these variables are only a few out of millions of superficial signs of a living, dynamic process of self-regulation. It is not the variables that we should be looking at, but the process of self-regulation.
So instead let's try to see where the existing busdriver is heading, and offer any assistance that is needed. For example, a map of town would be an excellent piece of medical help. It would help the driver get across town.
