HOLISTIC MEDICINE

The Holistic Model of Healing & Health

What is Holistic Medicine

I am certain that everybody reading this will have come across the term “Holistic Medicine” at some point in time. There is considerable confusion about the meaning of “holistic.” If you have ever entered into a discussion about Holistic Medicine you will see that everybody has their own opinion. This is not surprising, since there are no accepted standard definitions for “Holistic Medicine.” Most people use the term as a synonym for alternative therapies, basically meaning that they are turning away from any conventional medical options and using alternative treatment exclusively. This is not exactly correct.

Holistic Medicine can be thought of as an approach to how treatment should be applied as opposed to any specific treatment modality itself. Let's consider a working definition:

“Holistic Medicine is a system of health care that combines many modalities and models of healthcare such as naturopathy, nutrition, homeopathy, herbal medicine, energy medicine, psychoemotional modalities of healing as well as spiritual “soul healing” work such as Hellinger’s Family Constellations. The goal of these combined therapies is to help the patient or clients achieve optimal physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual health.”

Holistic Medicine needs to look at the whole person and how they interact with their environment and the people around them. It needs diagnostic and therapeutic tools to examine and balance the physical, nutritional, environmental, psychological, emotional, social and spiritual levels of health. It therefore encompasses all modalities of diagnosis and treatment as stated above, including allopathic medicine using drugs and surgery if there are no other safer alternatives.

The ultimate goal of Holistic Medicine is to use all diagnostic and treatment modalities available to optimize the health of the person on all levels of well-being, without doing harm to the person. It is the optimization of all resources to bring about a cure in the person, no matter what school or modality they belong to.

There are a number of diagrams that have tried to explain the multimodal approach of Holistic Medicine – perhaps one of the oldest that was developed in the 1980’s by Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt, [1] one of the leading proponents of holistic medicine that has provided many tools for practitioners in this field.

The physical body is at the lowest level and it is the foundation upon which everything else rests. This is the level that most interests medical doctors as well as single-healing modality natural medicine practitioners such as herbal medicine, nutritionists and chiropractors. On the second level is the electromagnetic body – it is the summation of all electric and magnetic events caused by the neuronal activity of the nervous system.

This level is generally not examined by medical practitioners as it requires different tools to access this electromagnetic body. Acupuncturists tap into the meridians and chakras that are part of this second level. The third-level body is called the "mental body" and consists of our conscious and subconscious thoughts, attitudes and beliefs. This is where the average psychotherapist will work, but there are also other natural medicine healing modalities such as homeopathy, applied psychoneuro-biology and meditation that can access this level.

On the fourth level, the “Intuitive Body” is the level beyond our level of consciousness – the level of the unconscious, the meditative state and trance state. This is where hypnotherapy, regression therapy and Hellinger’s Family Constellation therapy can access this level.

The fifth level, the “Soul” is perhaps the most profound and the one that is least accessed by therapists of all kinds – it is the level where we at one with a Higher Consciousness, a Higher Power, God. Prayer and the Spiritual aspects of religion can access this level.

It is generally believed that the first three levels belong to the personal realm, meaning the individual detached from others. The fourth and fifth levels belong to the transpersonal realm, meaning that these are levels that relate to our relationships with others. The lower levels generally supply energy to the higher levels, but the higher levels has an organizing influence on the lower levels.

The premise of Holistic Medicine is to attempt to treat the whole patient on all levels, as opposed to the symptoms. Often a complaint such as migraines may have a myriad of different causes in each patient – so there is no standard therapy for migraines as the causes would be different in each person with migraine. This is why it is important to take into account all the causative factors for each person, and ultimately you will be treating the patient and not the disease per say.

It is more important to know what sort of PERSON has a disease than to know what sort of DISEASE a person has

This takes us back to Hippocrates about 2,500 years ago who made the statement above.

It appears that this wise statement made by Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine has been forgotten by modern medicine! Instead of looking at the person and trying to understand WHY they have the bunch of symptoms that make up their diagnosis, we consume ourselves with LABELLING the disease and suppressing its symptoms, when we should clearly be looking for its root causes.

We can extrapolate from this that Holistic Medicine is based on a “health-care system” and not a “disease-care system” – it encompasses Preventative Medicine by attempting to catch developing health issues early on, instead of waiting until they reach pathological parameters. Optimizing health should be the ultimate goal of all Holistic Medicine practitioners.

Often Holistic Medicine is not interested in labelling the disease itself as this does not often give information regarding the causes of the symptoms and signs suffered by the person. Holistic Medicine should first identify the causes of the symptoms, which are the body’s way of “talking” to the practitioner, without necessarily being overly concerned with the “diagnosis.”

This can be clearly illustrated when a person goes to their medical doctor with bowel distension and pain after eating, as well as bouts of intermittent diarrhoea and constipation. The doctor diagnoses Irritable Bowel Syndrome or IBS and usually gives antispasmodic medication to alleviate the symptoms.

A Holistic Medicine practitioner, however, would begin to investigate the causes of these symptoms such as:

 Lack of hydrochloric acid production in the stomach and deficiency in pancreatic enzymes, leading to poor digestion of food with resulting fermentation and bloating.

 Food intolerances to wheat, lactose, caffeine and eggs, causing the production of inflammatory chemicals such as cytokinines and COX-2’s.

 Dehydration - the person only drinks 2-3 glasses of water daily, so is severely dehydrated and his digestive processes suffer as a result.

 Eating a lot of junk food which is nutritionally deficient, resulting in a downward spiral of nutritional deficiencies.

 The patient is constantly stressed at home due to marital discord, poor communication with his wife and an autistic child.

Once all these causes are rectified, then the IBS will most likely disappear forever – the IBS was the result of these causative factors provoking the symptoms and discomfort, and not that the person was lacking in anti-spasmodic medication, or any other medication.

Based on the abovementioned example, it is clear to see that there are no limits to the range of diseases and disorders that can be treated in a holistic way – simply find all the potential causative factors, remove them, then help the body to repair, rebuild and rebalance – but this needs to be done on all levels – physical body, energetic body, etheric body, mind, emotions, and spirit. This is why when an individual seeks holistic treatment for a particular illness or condition, other health problems automatically improve without direct intervention, as the same causative factors could also be responsible for a myriad of other symptoms.

Holistic Health teaches the person to reach and maintain higher levels of wellness, optimizing health as well as preventing illness. People generally enjoy the vitality and well-being that results from their positive lifestyle changes, and this provides the motivation to continue this process throughout their lives.

In Holistic Medicine the healthcare professional and the patient work as partners – this is really the only way of succeeding as healing is not really related to the practitioner’s skill but the willingness of the patient to work with the practitioner and implement their bespoke healing programme. Rather than just eliminating or masking symptoms, the symptom is used as a guide to look below the surface for the root cause. Whenever possible, treatments are selected that support the body's natural healing system.

The Medical Model of Disease

Generally, with few exceptions, allopathic doctors perceive the body as a physical and chemical entity, much like a mechanic would view a machine. Using this “mechanistic” approach, their concern is to examine these structures using a variety of technologies such as X-rays, MRI’s, CT scans, gastroscopes, colonoscopes, biochemical lab tests and the like.

These technologies and testing techniques are all measuring the physical and chemical structure of different body parts – the “physical body” which is on the first level of the five levels of healing. They will examine the body organs (their size, shape and whether there are any structural abnormalities) – to the various tissues, down to the cellular level, to determine pathology (disease) of their structure (number of erythrocytes, white blood cells, platelets, histopathological structure of different cells etc) and the biochemical constituents of the blood, plasma and other body fluids.

Allopathic doctors are extremely well trained in looking at the physical and chemical composition of the body, and they spend many years in medical school doing just this. However, this “mechanistic” perception of the body has many limitations as this only allows us to view one perspective of the human body, when in fact there are many different levels that are important in diagnosing and fully understanding the aetiology of disease.

When observing the allopathic profession examining a patient based on this mechanistic approach, it becomes obvious why they sometimes behave in rather irrational ways. Generally, the “Medical Model of Disease” or “Biomedical Model” is based on collating the symptoms, placing them into a diagnostic category with a specific label, and then using some form of drug, surgery or radiation to eliminate the symptoms. The assumption is made that all patients are homogenous. The Biomedical model is a “wait for illness” approach.

This is a “symptom suppression” approach to dealing with disease as it rarely identifies the real causes of disease, let alone removing the causes. The fact that a diagnosis has been placed on a diseased organ does not justify the rationale that the diseased organ is the CAUSE of the diagnosis. Tonsillitis, for example, is not the cause of inflamed tonsils; Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is not the cause of an irritable bowel, and so forth. The diagnostic labels themselves may be important for the medical doctors themselves, but they do little to help understand the true causes of disease.

The label given to the symptoms of an illness is not the illness itself – it may surprise you to hear that a cancerous tumour is not the disease per say, it is merely a symptom – the disease itself are all the aetiological factors that caused the body to produce the tumour in the first place.

If one puts oneself in the position of a medical doctor with this perception, then it is easy to understand why they behave as they do. For example, if there is a part of the gut that is ulcerated and the symptoms cannot be eliminated using medicinal drugs, then the next “logical” step is to remove the organ itself. This may sound rather surprising to the objective onlooker, but this has been heard from many patients who have been victims of this narrow-minded approach.

Why the Blinkers?

So, why do all these intelligent doctors who were “A” grade students at school think in this narrow-minded, blinkered and insular way? In order to understand why they are so doctrinaire in their approach to disease, let’s take a step back and look at an analogy of man as a whole entity – We will use the analogy of an iceberg to demonstrate the point. When we look at an iceberg we normally see about 10% of the iceberg above the waterline, the remaining 90% is below it.

This is important to note, as most medical doctors are trained to observe only what is above the waterline – the 10% of causative factors that involve the physical and chemical structure of disease. This is the main part of the curriculum in most medical schools as most of the funding for research comes from the pharmaceutical companies who want the budding doctors to prescribe their drugs. They therefore have a big say in what is to be included in the curriculum and nutrition, environmental medicine, energy medicine and the psychoemotional and spiritual aspects of the person make up very little.

If we return to the iceberg analogy, we see that just like the iceberg in its entirety is composed of the 10% above the waterline, PLUS the 90% below the waterline, so is man composed of many different levels, some we can see and measure and some we cannot. However, they all interact to determine whether we are healthy or not – all these levels make up the HOLISTIC MODEL OF HEALTH that is what this is all about.

The tip of the iceberg where doctors spend most of their time looking is based on the Biomedical Model of Disease as doctors tend to examine the physical body for pathology or disease and are not really trained in looking at the whole health spectrum from perfect health all the way through to pathology. This is why there is very little advice that you will obtain from your average medical doctor about Preventative Medicine.

The tip of the iceberg represents the physical and chemical composition of the body – we have already mentioned that medical doctors are extremely well trained at examining these parts in detail and using this knowledge to diagnose pathology. This knowledge about the physical body, and all the medical technology that has emerged over the last 30-40 years has certainly played an important role in saving many lives, particularly in emergency medicine – this needs to be respected and honoured as it is a big contribution to the health of mankind.

It is when the medical profession have to deal with complex, chronic diseases that have taken years to develop and are multi-causal, that they freely admit defeat – there is really not much that they can do to cure these diseases, they can treat and manage them and provide palliative care only. Why is this?

Its simply that they are only looking at one level of the body, the physical level – they can identify and label most disease known to man, but they will not be able to eradicate those that are related to a multitude of factors on the many different levels of health. For example, many chronic diseases are now related to the accumulating toxicity from heavy metals and xenobiotics that are ubiquitous in today’s world. It is rare that you will find a medical doctor looking for these – it is not really a part of their curriculum.

It is also rare that the doctor examines the diet of the person and fully understands its implications – the field of clinical nutrition or orthomolecular nutrition is again not part of their curriculum. Nor is helping patients overcome psychoemotional issues that may remain unresolved and be a major cause to the illness.

When the focus of the person is on the tip of the iceberg, ignoring the other 90% below the waterline, then this is akin to having one’s nose firmly pressed against a tree, knowing everything about the tree in exacting detail, but missing the real culprit, which is in the forest! You obviously need to move back from the tree in order to see the forest!

Now let’s examine the parts of the iceberg below the waterline, the BIG part making up 90% that modern medicine does not regularly look at. It is only in seeing this part too that we can really begin to understand the causative factors of degenerative diseases – once these causative factors are identified then they must be offloaded to facilitate the body’s natural healing process. This is a brief overview .

Nutrition and Health

Why do we eat?

We eat to nourish all our cells with vital nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, trace elements, amino acids, fats and phytonutrients.

We all know that nutrition plays an imperative role in health – you have all probably heard the saying “We are what we eat” – well, you had better believe it!

Therefore, the foods that we choose to eat should be nutrient-dense, rich in nutrients, not ones that are empty and deficient.

How many of us consciously choose foods on this basis? You will find that many people around you eat because they like the taste of food, not because they are thinking about nourishing their cells. The general attitude of most people seems to be let’s eat anything as long as it has a nice taste and we like it. It’s amazing how many people treat their bodies as if they were ‘walking dustbins’ with no respect to what the body really requires to function optimally.

Over two thousand years ago Hippocrates [4] wrote about the negative effects that food could have on different people:

“For cheese does not prove equally injurious to all men, for there are some who can take it to satiety, without being hurt by it in the least, but, on the contrary, it is wonderful what strength it imparts to those it agrees with; but there are some who do not bear it well, their constitutions are different, they differ in this respect, that what in their body is incompatible with cheese, is roused and put in commotion by such a thing; and those in whose bodies such a humor happens to prevail in greater quantity and intensity, are likely to suffer the more from it. But if the thing had been pernicious to the whole nature of man, it would have hurt all.”

There is an emerging science of orthomolecular nutrition (not dietetics). “Orthomolecular” is a Greek word coined by Professor Linus Pauling, [5] two times Nobel prize winner, which means “correct molecules” – choosing the correct or necessary molecules that the body requires to function correctly. This is a science that is already helping many people with chronic, degenerative diseases to regain function – most probably because it was the nutritional deficiencies over time that led to the degeneration in the first place, so correcting these reverses the main cause.

If any part of your body is deficient in the numerous nutrients that it requires daily to function, then it is only a matter of time before symptoms appear. The body cannot build enzymes, hormones, blood, muscles, immune responses, let alone detoxify itself without many of the vitamins, minerals, trace elements and more that it requires. It is akin to a builder trying to build a house without bricks, or without cement – the end result would be defective and most likely dangerous.

There is also another emerging science which explores the effects of certain foods on health – it is now well known that certain individuals react adversely to particular foods. This is the embryonic science of Food Intolerance or Allergies [6] – “embryonic” even though it was identified and studied by certain scientists more than 50 years ago (Dr. Von Pirquet, Dr. A. Rowe, [7] Dr. H. Rinkel, [8] Dr. R. Mackarness [9] ). Virtually everyone is intolerant to certain food substances – often they do not realise this as they are “masked food allergies” meaning that the symptoms can appear many hours, or even days after eating the suspect food.

These masked food allergies cause the body to produce inflammatory chemicals such as cytokinines and COX-2 [10] – which will no doubt create further symptoms and imbalances. There are many recent studies (too numerous to mention here) that have been published in peer-reviewed journals, yet still allopathic doctors and dieticians (who know very little about orthomolecular nutrition and the effects of food on the body), still ignore statements made by the World Health Organization and other organizations, which say that over 80% of all chronic diseases are preventable by changing dietary habits and lifestyle.

Instead, doctors believe that patients with “incurable” symptoms, like a patient with ulcerative colitis, are neurotic and “imagining” their symptoms. If the patient disagrees and resists drug treatments they will inevitably get a visit from the locum psychiatrist. Medical doctors believe that patients get better because “someone is taking an interest” in their case and “giving them attention” This intransigent and obdurate attitude is very frustrating to the patient and their families!

Man and the Environment

Man interacts with the environment daily, and it is getting tougher and tougher to avoid toxins, radioactive fallout, electromagnetic radiation, microwaves from mobile phones, geopathic stress (which I explain below), and much more. All these factors, if we are exposed to them for long enough, can be very detrimental to our health.

Having heard the argument that these factors cannot really play a role in chronic diseases as we are now seeing an increase in childhood cancers, leukaemia’s and diabetes, so how can young children be affected by the environment from a very young age?

Well, there are numerous studies that have shown that infants are actually born with an array of toxins, all directly transported from the mother. An interesting study that was done by the Environmental Working Group [11] a few years ago in the USA took neonate cord blood and analyzed it for numerous toxins.

They found an average of 287 toxic chemicals in these newborns, of which 180 of these were carcinogenic!

A similar study found toxins and heavy metals in newborns in the North Pole born to Inuit Eskimos, [12] so it is clear that we cannot escape these toxins in today’s world – this is why we all need to learn how to detoxify and clean our bodies on a regular basis. What would your bedroom look like if you had not cleaned it for 20, 30, 40 or more years? – it would be nothing short of a stable full of rats, mice, cockroaches, parasites, bacteria and viruses – the body is no different!

Other studies have shown that these toxic chemicals can be directly transferred across the placenta from the mother to her baby [13] , [14] – another reason why detoxification is important before deciding to become pregnant. Large amounts of mercury have also been found in young babies due to the preservative Thimerosal that contains 50% mercury, which is placed in vaccinations – there is a lot of evidence to suggest that this is one of the main reasons why the rate of autism and ADHD has greatly increased.

We also need to be aware of the effect of various energies such as microwave ovens, mobile phones, electromagnetic and geopathic stress on the body. If a pregnant mother were sleeping on a geopathic stress line then inevitably the baby would be affected, as well as herself – there have been many experiments to show that if a person is sleeping on two crossing geopathic stress lines then they will inevitably develop cancer in a matter of a few years. These stress lines upset the natural electromagnetic waves of the body, causing a variety of diseases.

Energetic Man

Man is also made up of electromagnetic waves and other particles that all resonate at set frequencies. Even as far back as 1923, Georges Lakhovsky, a Russian engineer working in France, built a simple apparatus [15] capable of registering microvoltage measurements from human cells, plants and microbes. In his studies of normal and diseased cells, Lakhovsky found that there were marked differences in their oscillation patterns. [16]

Each group of cells emitted frequencies specific to its organ or tissue of origin. Cancerous cells emitted a different, abnormal pattern. [17] Lakhovsky also discovered that harmful factors such as faulty nutrition, environmental pollutants containing toxic chemicals or heavy metals, bacteria or viruses, weaken and distort cellular electro-magnetic fields prior to the onset of illness and death. After years of research he concluded that health is nothing but a state of electro-magnetic equilibrium of body cells, while diseases and death represent just the opposite – a broken energetic balance.

Around the same time, Professor Harold Saxton Burr [18] of Yale Medical School confirmed Lakhovsky’s findings in his own series of experiments – he called these electro-magnetic fields emitted by different body tissues “L-fields,” with “L” representing Life. Regrettably, this line of research was never continued after the death of Burr and others. Modern medicine, dominated and essentially controlled by the pharmaceutical industry, offered no inducements to spur research into Energy Medicine. Even today there is no profit to be made from Energy Medicine, hence there is no particular interest to “Big Pharma.”

Professor Robert Becker, MD, [19] a pioneer of Electromedicine in the U.S. and Chief of Orthopaedic Surgery at the VA Hospital of SUNY in Syracuse, was able to induce tissue and bone healing in many hopeless cases by applying small currents through the tissues’ electrical pathways. [20] Mainstream medicine, he said, was based upon a scientifically outdated model that relied exclusively on the chemical-pharmaceutical approach, to the exclusion of the more fundamental dimension of body energetics. As a result, he concluded that the tremendous healing potential of energy-based modalities such as homeopathy, acupuncture, visualization and electromedicine were neglected, to the great detriment of mankind.

In 1994, two biophysicists from the Max-Plank Institute of Physics in Gottingen, Germany, Drs. Erwin Neher and Bert Sackmann, [21] were awarded a Nobel Prize for their discovery of the essential role that the flow of charged atoms (the ions of body fluids and tissues) plays in physiological processes in living cells. Professor Fritz-Albert Popp [22] and Professor Herbert Frohlich [23] established that cells in the body interact through coherent oscillations: they have demonstrated that electromagnetic communication between cells constitutes the primary process governing chemical reactions.

This vast body of scientific evidence makes it apparent that the physiology of all living systems is being controlled via computer-like electromagnetic communications. Homeopathy is indeed unique among all therapies in its ability to influence cellular memory.

So why does the medical profession not know this? Simply because it is not taught in the medical schools they attend, as the curriculum is controlled by the pharmaceutical industries – who are interested in discovering and patenting medicinal drugs for huge profits. The truth is that there is no profit to be made in homeopathics – which they cannot patent – as you cannot patent something that is natural, so they are not interested. It is a sad fact of the greed that prevails in the health industry: “Let’s keep looking at the body as a physical and chemical factory because we can keep giving drugs to change the chemistry, as this is where the profits are!”

The Psycho-Emotional Person

We all know that chronic stress can cause heart disease, including hypertension and strokes; a compromised immune system which can lead to infections, allergies or even cancer; and gastrointestinal conditions such as ulcers and irritable bowel syndrome. In fact many of the “sudden deaths” that we hear about even in young people, are probably caused mainly by either acute shock or chronic stress.

There is a new branch of medicine called psychoneuroimmunology (PNI), which looks at the connection between the mind and stress, and diseases of the body, with many research studies that have demonstrated the clear relationship between stress and disease.

Perhaps one of the most interesting researchers in this field that has published much is Dr. Ryke Hamer, M.D. [24] After twenty years of research and therapy with over 31,000 patients, Dr. Hamer finally established firmly, logically and empirically how biological conflict-shock results in a cold cancerous or necrotic phase and how, if the conflict is resolved, the cancerous or necrotic process is reversed to repair the damage and return the individual to health.

Twenty years ago, Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer, a German doctor with his own practice in Rome, Italy, received a call in the middle of the night. His 17-year old son Dirk had been shot while on holiday in the Mediterranean. Three months later, Dirk died and shortly after, Dr. Hamer, who had been healthy all his life, but who was utterly devastated by this catastrophe, found he had testicular cancer. Rather suspicious about this coincidence, he set about doing research on the personal histories of cancer patients to see whether they had suffered some shock, distress or trauma before their illness.

In time, after extensive research of thousands of patients, Dr. Hamer was finally able to conclude that disease is only brought about by a shock for which we are totally unprepared. This last point is very important. If we can in any way be prepared for the shocking event, we will not become ill. In fact, Dr. Hamer does not like to say ‘cancer’. Rather, it is a special biological response to an unusual situation, and when the ‘shock’ situation is resolved, the body sets about returning to normality. This is a very simplified account, of course.

He presented his work to the university in Germany with which he was affiliated. Without testing or proving his hypothesis, they asked him to deny his findings. Since he could not possibly contemplate denying what he had scientifically proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, he refused. As a result, his licence to practise medicine was withdrawn and he was imprisoned. Even though the University of Tubingen was ordered by a court of law to hold tests to prove the theories, they have never done so.

Holistic Medicine – The Whole Iceberg

This completes the analogy of the iceberg – it should be clear that modern medicine practitioners who have their perception fixed on the tip of the iceberg, are not going to be able to identify and eliminate ALL the causative factors of chronic diseases. Instead, they will identify ONLY the structural and biochemical pathologies in the body and try to alleviate the symptoms using drugs, surgery or radiation.

This is one of the main reasons why modern medicine has such abysmal results in treating chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, arthritis, cancer and asthma – diseases that normally have multiple causative factors. They never even look for poor nutrition which leads to gross deficiencies in nutrients, poor digestion and absorption; high levels of toxic metals and organic xenobiotics such as organochlorine pesticides, PCB's from plastics, Bisphenol-A, lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, as well as electromagnetic and geopathic stresses, not to mention psychological and emotional stresses from family, society and work.

If you were a patient with a chronic disease, would you not want to know what the causes of your disease processes were? Certainly you would, but often we hear from medical doctors that the cause is “idiopathic” – another word for “unknown!” We also hear “psychosomatic” a lot, meaning that the causes are psychological and emotional. This is not a deep analysis of this particular aetiological category, but a “dustbin” of modern medicine where all the “unknowns” are dumped – this would include all the patients who do not get better with drugs or surgery, mainly because the true causes of their problems have not been properly diagnosed.

Modern medicine rarely asks the patient what they eat or drink, let alone look at food intolerances and allergies.

It’s important to work in a holistic fashion with chronic patients – the therapist must begin working through the levels of the potential causative factors – often identifying more than 15-20 possible causative factors, using the IDEL Diagnostic Programme which is the acronym for IDentify and ELiminate. When these are eliminated we see all sorts of degenerative diseases cured in amazingly short periods of time.
