The Perfect Mindset for Victory

Sunday, April 11th, 2010

dreamstime_5325762



The following internal conversations represent the proper mindset for victory in The Home Version.

If you know these conversations are non-negotiable, you will keep a perfect focus as a “good” client.

In a very emotional situation like acne, these conversations can be very important.





First Important Logical Internal Conversation

Premise #1 This project has proven that all acne is treatable and preventable with no exceptions.

(If you doubt this first premise, you are not ready for this program in the office or at home. i recommend watching all 120 videos to see what is possible in this world. If still having doubts after spending hours watching, you need to zoom in and watch again. Disillusionment and Hopelessness are powerful forces. You will need to really watch and listen to extinguish these mistaken negative emotions)

Premise #2 “Good” Clients always ask for assistance when concerned.

Premise #3 “Good” clients who are tenacious always find victory here.

Therefore: All Home Version Clients will find Victory if they can can focus on becoming “Good” clients.




Second Logical Internal Conversation

Premise #1 There is no such thing as special skin. (as proven by 120 videos here)

Premise #2
Chronic acne is known to create disillusionment and hopelessness

Premise #3 Disillusionment and hopelessness cause needless suffering

Therefore: If you think your case of acne is special in any way, you are needlessly suffering from an emotional reaction called “Dillusionment and Hopelessness”




Third Logical Internal Conversation:

Premise #1 Acne always causes some degree of emotional imbalance.

Premise #2 You have suffered from acne for many years.

Therefore: You have some degree of emotional imbalance. (This is always true and needs to be addressed if you want to really heal.)



Forth Logical Conversation:

Premise #1 The office version is still experiencing a 100% success rate. (for 3 years and counting. Proven by the growth of the largest acne gallery ever assembled)

Premise #2 The Home Version has all the tools and methods of the office version.

Therefore: If you can carefully mimic the office version using The Home Version, it is a foregone conclusion that you will find Victory here.






This should help people attain the perfect focus in both the office and The Home Version. (”Good” clients will re-read this post many times)

If struggling with any of these concepts, this is your cue to watch the entire video gallery. Very few people have ever remained disillusioned after watching them all.

This should help,

Are you Tenacious??

When it comes to getting what you want in this one and only lifetime…,
would you consider yourself Tenacious??


I’m going to spend many hours posting tips to make sure every home version client finds total victory here.

The office version is still experiencing a perfect success rate. This is not a claim, but a proven reality illustrated by the rapid growth of the largest and most extensive acne gallery ever assembled. I’m very proud of this success rate as it is a result of years of preparation and clinical research.

The mission of The Home Version is to perfectly mimic the office version from home. It often times requires a bit of tenacity.

To aid in this mission, we’ll organize these tips in a new blog category called,
“How to be a “Good” Patient”



Back to Tenacity….

Lets start with a basic definition of the word Tenacious:

- persistent in maintaining, adhering to, or seeking something valued or desired.
ex) a tenacious advocate of civil rights, tenacious negotiators

-holding fast; characterized by keeping a firm hold (often fol. by of): a tenacious grip on my arm; tenacious of old habits.

-holding together; cohesive; not easily pulled asunder; tough


When describing those who repeatedly beat life’s greatest challenges, I also like to use the words:

Relentless
Unrelenting
Unyielding
Determined
Focused
Adamant
Die-hard
Ceaseless
Indefatigable
Unending
Unremitting
Fierce


Do these words describe the way you live and chase your dreams?

If so, you are ready for a swift victory here.



If not, I can teach you how to attain this level of power:

Step 1:
Read the Participate in the crossfit section of the blog.
Start with “Dr. Neal’s Ultimate Home Workout for All Levels of Fitness”

Step2:
Find power through this newly created energy.

Step 3:

Then find Tenacity for any challenge in life through your newly found power.

It works like magic if you follow the steps.
(The internal conversation can be key. Think Lance Armstrong or any other amazing athlete for inspiration and focus)




Let me know if this helps you take on your dreams..,

-Dr. Neal

Are you a “Good” Patient? (Part II)

Saturday, November 7th, 2009

instructionmanual_rev2_3

continued from the post entitled,

Are You A “Good” Patient?

In the office,  I use my presence and energy to help patients become focused and compliant with this advanced program.   The groundbreaking perfect success rate that continues in the office comes from observing and correcting all possible distracting variables using energy and strategic planning.

In this chapter of  ”Are you a “Good” Patient?”,   I’m going to be talking about clients in The Home Version.

(i.e.   Are you a “Good”  Home Version Client?)

Over the past year,  a very ambitious vision has become a reality.  My original challenge in 2007 was to somehow replicate the success rate of the office practice in a kit that could be used in any home around the world.  Our top priority has always been victory over all other interests.  It took some fine tuning,  but the final result is producing astounding results.  I’m very happy with the emails that have been coming in and am very grateful for the brave souls who are willing to help others with their photo and video testimonials

I will be posting the most recent home version success story later this weekend.   With every chronic case that is transformed here,  I realize that with further fine tuning of variables,  the home version has the potential to also achieve a 100% success rate.    I will use this blog post to help people in the home version maximize their kit and experience while in this innovative new program.

We’ll leave out the common mistakes here and instead focus on the positives below:

“How To Be An “Amazing”  Home Version Client”

Here’s how:

1)  Observe your emotional reactions: The more in tune you get with your emotions,  the quicker you will notice when anxiety,  concern,  or fear arises.  An amazing client will quickly notice and ask for reassurance or assistance immediately.

2)  Try not to underestimate the power of this program: The more you understand that this program does not fail,  the more you will ask the question to Dr. Neal,  ”what am I still doing wrong?”     Those amazing clients who repeatedly ask this question are achieving their goals here.   The office practice is still experiencing a perfect success rate as shown by expanding gallery every month.    Try not to underestimate.   This program is completely new and unlike any program in the world.

3) Try to articulate all details perfectly: An amazing client can efficiently communicate exactly what they are concerned about.  Before you hit “send”,   review your email and make sure it is focused and efficient.

4) Send Cropped Photos: Amazing clients are motivated enough to send focused photos when concerned.     To get better focus,  keep any camera still on a table and use the timer while holding very still.  you can crop them later on your computer.   Work on getting it as focused as possible with any camera.

5) Watch ALL the videos: Amazing clients spend  real time enlarging and critically watching EVERY video in the gallery (over 100).  By making this effort, amazing clients understand very deeply that their condition is completely treatable.   I can hear it in the emails when someone has watched them all.

Amazing clients are having unbelievable transformations and I’m very proud of the results of The Home Version.

A new upgraded communication system is coming very soon that will help guide all clients to communicate details more efficiently and effectively.   (coming very soon!!)

The Home Version gallery has been expanding every month with some of the most dramatic acne transformations ever witnessed.

If you really want it,  you can find it in this new program…

I’ll be here,

-Dr. Neal

Are You A “Good” Patient?

Sunday, November 2nd, 2008

     I think the most underemphasized aspect of modern medicine is the conversation of people acting as good patients vs. bad patients.  As you learn more about the phenomenon of the patient/practitioner relationship, you begin to understand that it is often times critical to relinquish control, learn to trust again, and allow others to truly help you…

 

Here’s a classic list of  qualities contrasting  Good Patients vs. Bad Patients.    

Which list describes you??

(let’s start with the positives…)

 

“Good” Patients:

1)  From Day 1, they assume their Doctor has the ability to help them.

2)  They assume their Doctor has seen similar cases to them and that their case is not ultra-special

3)  Good patients are able to open their heart and trust another human being.  They realize that being burnt in the past has no connection to their new, chosen practitioner.

4)  They can ask detailed questions about their case without letting emotion and frustration cloud the detail of the ongoing healing work.

5)  They are hungry for treatment details.

6)  Good Patients know that treatable conditions are always treatable.  They realize it is just a matter of finding the correct path, the best weaponry, and the best suited practitioner.

 

 

“Bad” Patients:  (Keep in mind that good people are often times “bad” patients)

1)  From Day 1,  they assume their doctor does not understand their condition.  They will go through the motions despite the belief that their treatment has a low probability of success.

2)  Bad patients believe their case is very special and has never been seen before by the global medical community.

3)  Bad patients Do Not Trust their practitioner and furthermore, do not believe there is a need to trust.  They do not see the importance of the patient/practitioner relationship and usually view their interaction with their doctor in a manner similar to buying merchandise.  

4)  Bad patients allow frustration and emotional reactivity to cloud all the details of the healing process.  They can’t listen in a detailed fashion because of their strained emotional reactions. They can’t ask detailed questions either because their focus is stuck on their own frustration rather then the detailed plan to get better.

5)  They are not hungry or interested in any further treatment details and begin to assume they know exactly what their practitioner is going to say.  They become self-made experts and develop a deep belief that they know it all.  From this vantage point, it becomes very easy for them to create a mistaken logical conclusion:  ”If I know it all and I’m still not better, then my special case must be untreatable”   (This quote describes the classic development of mistaken pessimism.)

6)  Bad patients believe people are out to get them.  Their paranoia actually creates a wall that pushes new people away that otherwise could have helped them.  Their tangible paranoia becomes infectious and people naturally do not trust them.  As the mutual disrespect builds, they find themselves in other negative situations and conclude that they were right in the idea that people are not to be trusted.  (They fail to realize that their negative attitude is what creates and attracts negative experiences in their life)

 

 

Think about this….., chronic acne is known to be a treatable condition in every textbook around the world.  If someone is living with chronic inflammation of their face or body, could it be that their inability to repeatedly ask for help is the root cause of the chronic failure??

Ask the question, review the details of what makes a good patient vs. a bad patient.  If you decide you are, in fact, a good patient….,   then your only job is to find a new practitioner with the talent to help your stubborn, treatable case.   …And then allow yourself to trust again……    

 

I have made it my life’s mission to help good patients who are still suffering both in the office and online.  I will also expend countless amounts of energy trying to teach “bad” patients how to become better patients, allowing others to help them out of this difficult, spiraling situation.

-Dr. Neal
