“We’re going to love you into Wellness”
hat’s what Dr. Katy Morter told my wife Cheri. Drs. Ted and Katy Morter are advanced holistic Chiropractic Physicians, whose practice focuses on balancing physical, emotional and chemical stressors, and the development of healthy daily habits in six essential areas (what you eat, what you drink, how you exercise, how you rest, what you breathe and what you think). This leads to the body healing itself as it was designed originally – from the inside out. The Morters use a system, developed by Dr. Ted Morter’s grandfather, called the Bio-Energetic Synchronization Technique, (B.E.S.T.). B.E.S.T. works by re-timing messages between the body and the brain to remove outdated subconscious memory patterns. Traditional chiropractic, founded by D.D. Palmer in the 1890s, is a form of alternative medicine that attempts to diagnose and treat patients through manipulation of their musculoskeletal system, especially the spine. It uses manual manipulation of the spine, joints, and soft tissues as well as exercises and lifestyle counseling. In contrast, B.E.S.T. is a non-forceful, energy balancing procedure used to help reestablish the full healing potential of the body. B.E.S.T. principles identify the interference we create with our conscious mind. This interference has caused imbalance in the autonomic nervous system leading to exhaustion of our organ systems over time. Emotional B.E.S.T. utilizes advanced technology developed to update higher brain interference from expression in the physical body. When emotional thoughts such as worry, guilt, fear, judgment, to name just a few, become the overriding factor in our memory patterns, interference with our perfect health and wellness becomes the norm. This interference, formulated by con-
scious thought, which in turn becomes a pattern, prevents the true expression of our physical bodies healing capability. Emotional B.E.S.T. is an advanced procedure to help identify this emotional pattern, update the interference, and then allow the body to function based on current situations rather than past experiences. Drs. Ted and Katy Morter met and fell in love in chiropractic school. Ted is a fourth generation Morter chiropractic physician. Katy comes from a family of osteopathic physicians turned MD’s. Ted and Katy migrated to Bentonville, Arkansas to be close to family a few years ago. They started a clinic called The Morter Wellness Center. My wife Cheri and I had been going to The Morter Wellness Center for several months when Cheri discovered she had advanced Stage III C uterine cancer. The Morters were compassionate and helped her accept the diagnosis. She was told her body was strong and up to the challenge, but she had some self-sabotaging negative thoughts which would interfere with her healing process. German Energy Medicine has advanced in determining the emotional dynamics involved in creating several types of cancers. Dr. Ted was determined to find the emotional trigger that created this disease. He stayed up one night until 1:30 a.m. to research the emotional causes of uterine cancer. He presented two different scenarios to my wife which may have created her disease. Dr. Ted asked Cheri to go home and make a numbered list of any situation or event that would apply to either scenario. She was instructed to limit her list to events which had occurred within the last two years. When she returned to the office, Cheri kept her list private while the doctors asked her body which item
