Carolyn Myss is a recognized pioneer in the field of energy medicine. With Dr. C. Norman Shealy, Myss has demonstrated a 93% accuracy rate in correctly diagnosing a variety of illnesses using her intuitive ability. Her books include, "The Creation of Health," and "Anatomy of The Spirit."

DiCarlo-Could you describe how your book, "The Creation of Health" came about?

Myss: It was the consequence of my work with Dr. Norman Shealy, the books co-author. People who attended our workshops were very receptive about what we had to talk about and wanted to learn more. As a result, we decided to write this book and articulate the patterns of health and disease. Every single illness has a specific pattern, like a recipe to it. And so we created this textbook, and that's exactly what it is. It's a book that first of all walks you through the reasons why your body loses power, and then what stress causes what illness.

It was the first book to ever be written cooperatively between an intuitive and a physician. In and of itself, the partnership was a statement.

DiCarlo: One aspect of the emerging paradigm of medicine seems to be the cooperation between healers and doctors and intuitive diagnosticians and doctors. In that regard you and Dr. C. Norman Shealy have been pioneers. Is that a trend you feel is likely to continue?

Myss: We're already seeing that. I was recently on a panel for the American Holistic Medical Association with another medical intuitive by the name of Mona Lisa Schulz, who is both a medical doctor and a PhD. She's a very well lettered scholar who happens to be a superb medical intuitive. What I realize now, is that it is unimaginable how many physicians want access to an intuitive-a good one. And there are very few of us. The skill of medical intuition is just now emerging, and it is my hope that it is going to become a profession. It's not as though you decide one day that you are an intuitive just because you may be able to tell when someone is ill and that qualifies you as an intuitive. It requires highly sophisticated skills.

What I have observed in the medical field over the past twelve years, is that more and more physicians are coming to my workshops or I am being invited to teach at their meetings, such as the Holistic American Medical Association. They know that an intuitive is most valuable. Not so much to tell a physician what's wrong with a patient-medical tests do that effectively.

An intuitive is most valuable when a doctor and a patient both know something is wrong, but it's not physically observable yet. I am developing a language to help physicians and patients speak in this zone, where the patient can say, "I'm losing power." That's not a "disease" yet, but it's sure going to be. And a physician worth his or her stripes will say, "You're absolutely right. This is a signal, "May-day, May-day, your going down." The questions become, "where are you losing power? What is it? What's the source?" And if you can reverse the power loss at that level, believe me, you will never see the illness in your body because the law is-"your biography becomes your biology."

DiCarlo: In your work you suggest that these power losses as you call them can be perceived in the human energy field....

Myss: Well, first of all, the human energy field has to be understood differently, and words don't do justice to the structure. The human energy field shouldn't be called that at all, but since we do call it that, we have to now define it very clearly. It's better understood as an information center. Because that's what it is. And that's where you store all your messages. That's where you store all your faxes. That's where you warehouse everything. Your responses to everything and everyone, all your fear-everything-is stored in your energy field. Your responses form patterns that influence your electromagnetic circuitry which then dictate a quality control signal that influences the creation and quality of cell tissue.
