What is JMT?
JMT™ (Jaffe-Mellor Technique) is a revolutionary bio energetic system created by Carolyn Jaffe, D.Ac., Ph.D.(c) naturopathy, and Judy Mellor, RN, Ph.D.(c) nutrition, Certified Oriental medicine herbalist. Following years of study and intensive clinical research, Carolyn Jaffe, D.Ac. and Judy Mellor, RN, discovered several specific adaptive pathogens existing in almost every patient with osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, psoriatic and rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, Crohn's and colitis, myasthenia gravis, scleroderma, and other immune compromised and elusive health disorders.
JMT™ was created out of the need to find a safe and effective way to neutralize the pathogens without the use of drugs or ingestants, invasive therapies, surgery, manipulation, allergy elimination, stringent dietary restrictions, topical applications, or cleanses and to intervene the immune system's unrelenting assail upon the host. It is these attacks on body sites that result in the destruction of tissue.
These pathogens are called "stealth pathogens" or "micoplasm" or "cell wall deficient forms" and are interesting in that they become part and parcel of the body tissues. In an effort to kill the pathogen, the brain alerts the immune system which has begun to mistake body tissues for the pathogens and continually attacks all areas on or around the microbial colony. This includes the muscles, the joints, the cartilage and the bone tissue itself. The pattern of attacks become increasingly more intense going deeper and deeper, wider and wider, destroying the healthy tissue as the immune system wages war on its enemy - the pathogen.
The outcome is inflammation from attacks by the immune system. This causes swelling, heat, stiffness, and pain with pockets of white blood cells (WBC's) that can only be reduced by siphoning and steroids. This therapy is at best temporary for the person with rheumatoid arthritis and is threatening to the pathogen, which does the only intelligent thing that can be done; it recolonizes at still another new site. In like manner, the person with osteoarthritis suffers with pain and stiffness from cartilage and bone tissue wearing away. The immune system is constantly doing what it has been programmed to do; it attacks and attacks at the hidden invader - eating away at everything in its path.
Even with the inclusion of Fosamax, OsCal, Glucosamine, and calcium - magnesium supplementation, it is impossible for the body to produce bone or cartilage fast enough to prevent their destruction by the immune-programmed attacks. The arthritic patient taking these substances might experience some measure of comfort but nothing permanent. Pain management clinics provide temporary and somewhat risky drug therapy. Likewise, replacing parts cannot keep up with the expanding colonization of the pathogens.
In the case of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, Jaffe and Mellor learned the sequence in which the immune systems attacked. With each treatment, they taught the immune system to discriminate between pathogen and body tissue until symptoms gradually decreased to the point, where they did not exist at all. They further learned how to accelerate the production of cartilage and healthy bone tissue. Not only did the pain, swelling, and stiffness greatly decline, but the mobility on each of the joints gradually increased.
In a clinical research project that has lasted close to a decade, the team of Jaffe and Mellor observed and made note of every similarity between patients who had a medical diagnosis of either osteo, gouty, psoriatic, or rheumatoid arthritis. They noted that while it was true that the food intake for some people struggling with arthritis was horrible and high in fat, sugar, and carbohydrates, and low in vitamins and minerals - this was however, not true in most cases. Age of onset varied, as did gender and demographics. Some patients were young and strong, others were old and feeble. Some were obese and others were thin. Some ate beef, others were vegetarians. Some diets were highly acidic, others were more alkaline. The researchers really did not find as many similarities as they thought they would. Eventually, after researching through endless possible causes including heavy metals, and mercury toxicity, viruses, parasites, molds, funguses, possible allergens, and bacterial strains, they found several common denominators that tested positive in every single patient.
Understanding the causative agent helped the researchers to STOP a higher percentage of pain for every single patient, without their need to make drastic changes, and appeared to halt the progression of the disease itself. The research is based upon Darwin's evolutionary theory, which links all living organisms, from protozoa to pigs and is in essence fairly simple. True, there are variables such as heredity, survival and reproduction, but not a whole lot more. Based on the simplicity of Darwin's concept, Jaffe and Mellor strongly considered the possibility that disease such as arthritis might actually be resulting from the presence of a microorganism residing in the host, one that was highly intelligent and adapted well to change. For the most part, natural selection was ignored in microorganisms that cause disease and primarily recognized in large organisms. Interestingly, the evolutionary change that occurs in disease organisms is brief when compared to larger organisms. The little rascals are able to mutate and adapt to their changing environment in days or weeks if necessary rather than years or decades.
There was a glimmer of hope in history when brilliant scientists such as Pasteur and Koch proved that microorganisms rather than demon possession were the real cause of a great many diseases. This insight brought an end to life threatening diseases such as malaria, bubonic plague, and tuberculosis. Modern medicine made its debut and by the twentieth century most killer diseases including smallpox, diphtheria, whooping cough, yellow fever, polio, and influenza were believed to be well under control. Vaccines and antibiotics were household words. People heaved a great sigh of relief comforted in the belief that they were safe from infectious pathogens that could reach epidemic proportions or leave a person with crippling and irreversible health problems.
Unable to lay absolute blame on any one real cause for diseases such as arthritis, multiple sclerosis, lupus, scleroderma, myasthenia gravis, and fibromyalgia the scientific community hypothesized that these disorders were a resulting from an immune system gone wild and reacting against itself, while the non-conventional practitioners leaned toward theories suspicious of mercury toxicity caused by amalgams in the teeth, geopathic influences, poor drinking water, excessive sugar consumption, heavy metals, and parasites. Whatever the theories, and despite desperate attempts taken by both the conventional and non-conventional health care providers to stop the progression of these and other diseases, outbreaks of E-Boli, other life threatening viruses, resilient staph infections, Lyme, Aids, cancer, asthma, diabetes, heart disease, and other diseases continue to plague modern society with numbers that escalate each year.
