“Seven Minutes to Natural Pain Release” by Daniel J. Benor, M.D., details the self-healing method of WHEE.  The author himself developed this method combining elements from both EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique.)  Dr. Benor calls his method “the Wholistic Hybrid derived from EMDR and EFT, or WHEE.  A more user-friendly name is Whole Health – Easily and Effectively.” (p.17) By combining the two other methods, Benor has developed an approach that is simple, effective, and takes little time.

“Seven Minutes to Natural Pain Release” begins with an introduction on the basic aspects of the WHEE approach.  Then, Dr. Benor presents information allowing us to better understand pain, and addresses the psychological factors involved in pain.  After establishing this basic foundation, he goes on to elaborate on the WHEE method in detail, including a section on theories to explain why WHEE is effective.

I don’t want to go into detail as to what the WHEE method actually entails as I don’t want to take away from the premise of the book.  I will, however, say that the approach is extremely simple and pretty much anyone would be able to perform it.  It is also safe and you can do it on yourself at home.  Pain relief doesn’t get much better than that! 

The case studies presented in the book representing the effectiveness of the method are truly remarkable.  For instance, “In a WHEE workshop in Mexico, a woman asked for help with her arthritis.  Her hands were so affected that she had not been able to bend any of her fingers for many months.  We did an experiment, having her focus the WHEE on her right index finger.  Within minutes, she was able to bend that finger but not any of the others.”  (p.27) One of my grandmothers has arthritis and I think that by using the techniques in this book she may find some relief. 

One of the most intriguing aspects of the WHEE approach to me is that the time involved in the process is so minimal.  As you can see from the story about the woman in Mexico, the results are almost instantaneous.

I recommend this book to anyone dealing with any pain, or to those that know of someone dealing with pain.  You definitely don’t have anything to lose by giving this fascinatingly simple method a try!  I believe that the WHEE approach is a major medical breakthrough that will benefit many, many people.
