Effective Zone Technique
The Zone Technique is a healing method created by Dr. Peter Goldman. It is based on many of his influences and experiences. One of his major influences was the teachings of Dr. Thurman Fleet who created Zone Therapy in 1931 in San Antonio, Texas. After learning Zone Therapy in 1993 and refining it over the next two decades, Dr. Peter Goldman of San Francisco, California created The Zone Technique.

How the Zones Work
Dr. Fleet taught the following – “there are only six kinds of disturbances that can affect the human body. These are GLANDULAR, ELIMINATIVE, NERVOUS, DIGESTIVE, MUSCULAR, and CIRCULATORY. All diseased conditions, aches and pains, and other discomforts experienced by the body can be attributed to one or more of the above disturbances to the body’s six systems or Zones.”

According to Dr. Fleet, the human brain is composed of many centers. These centers form in the embryonic stage of life and develop from the dorsomedial ectoderm of the embryo. There is a center that controls the glands of the body, a center that is associated with the organs of elimination, a center that regulates the central nervous system, and which is differentiated as an ectodermal neural plate in the dorsomedial region of the ectoderm.

The digestive organs are regulated by a brain center. In the motor cortex of the brain, we find a center that controls all of the muscles of the body, and in the caudate nuclei (both), we find the center which regulates the flow of fluids (circulation) through the body.

Because the body may be properly classified as an ELECTRICAL MACHINE, these 6 brain centers represent the POSITIVE POLE of the body, and specific related points in the spinal cord represent the NEGATIVE POLE of the body. When there is a disturbance in any of the bodily areas, one or more of these centers are “shorted out.”

There has been a disruption of the normal function of the entire center due to the effect of emotional, physical, or chemical stress.

The Zone doctor examines the patient to determine which of the brain centers are not in harmony with the systems they control. This is done by the Zone doctor feeling specific points on the patient’s head. These points are related to the six brain centers by nerve connections. When a brain center is not sending the proper signals to its system, all bodily material associated with that system suffers. In order to correct this, the zone doctor stimulates specific points in the spinal cord.

There are six sets of four points in the spinal cord (negative pole) that are related to the six brain centers (positive pole). Stimulation of the proper points by the Zone doctor sends healing energy up the spinal cord to the brain centers that need balancing. The balanced brain centers then are able to send out the proper signals to the body’s systems and the body is better able to heal itself.

Why the Zone Technique?
Dr. Hester’s results speak for themselves. While he gets incredible results with musculoskeletal cases, about 50% of his patients come to him for systemic health imbalances, most after they have tried and failed with medical doctors, other chiropractors, acupuncture, homeopathy, etc. Dr. Hester accomplishes this with only his hands, and Air Flex II table, two-minute zone adjustments, and stimulating acupuncture points on the body and ear.
