WHAT IS THE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM?
The development program is a very powerful all-natural healing and life extension program. It involves assisting the souls of the body to balance and restore health.
The basic program has four parts: the development diet, about 8 nutritional supplements for adults and fewer for children, about 5 or 6 basic healing procedures, and a healthy lifestyle.
HISTORY. I have offered this program to more than 60,000 people for the past 45 years. It has been improved many times.
Dr. Wilson has a degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a medical degree. He prefers to work as a nutrition consultant because we don't like the medical approach to health, which is mainly symptomatic and often harmful.
TWO PROGRAMS
We offer two versions of the program. There is a basic version that one does by oneself. There is no charge for this program. Many people start with it. It is found at The Free or Basic Development Program.
We also offer an individualized, supervised, more comprehensive program that one does with the help of one of our 20 or so Helpers. To get started, go to Find A Helper To Begin A Program.
SAFETY
Many nutrition and other healing programs are not safe, no matter what the practitioner claims. The development program is safer than most others because the programs always balance the body.
The development program is also safer than most other healing programs because it addresses hidden, latent or sub-clinical health conditions. For example, many people have some hidden cancer, cardiovascular disease or other potentially serious health condition.
The development program addresses these conditions first. This is an enormous benefit and makes the program truly preventive.
WHO CAN BENEFIT?
The program will strengthen and balance anyone. It is excellent for adults, children, and babies four to six months old or older. Children of all ages do very well on the program, as do older adults.
Prenatal and pregnancy care. The program is very good as prenatal care. This would help create a much healthier generation of children.
Healing traumas. The development program can help unwind, retrace and heal many traumas. For details, read Rape, Healing Rape and Trauma Release.
In our experience, the program will help most physical and mental health conditions. Over 1000 articles on this website discuss specific health conditions and their correction using the development program. If you have a specific question, Contact Us.
IS THE PROGRAM FOR YOU?
The development program requires:
- Eating a lot of certain cooked vegetables. We find these are needed to remineralize, balance and detoxify the body. If you really don’t like vegetables, this is not the program for you.
- Some discipline. Like all healing programs, some self-discipline is required. You will develop the discipline if you work with the program.
- Flare-ups. The development program will bring up and release old traumas and illnesses. At times, this causes temporary symptoms that can be annoying or unpleasant. This is called retracing and is a feature of any truly deep healing program. We will help you through these purification symptoms if they occur.
- Forgiveness. The development program will bring up hidden anger and resentments in many people. One needs to be willing to let these go in order to progress quickly.
WHY IS IT CALLED THE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM?
Development is the unfolding of the full genetic potential of a human being. It involves activating more of one's DNA than usually occurs. This requires excellent nutrition, plenty of rest, a healthful lifestyle and several healing procedures. It causes much better health, a much longer lifespan, and improved physical and mental abilities. For more details, read Introduction To Development.
QUALITIES OF THE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
The program is quite mechanical. This means that the more one does of the program, the better will be the results.
The program is redundant. This means that one can get results even if one does not do the entire program correctly. However, the more one does, the better the results.
The program is extremely holistic. This means it includes many modalities of healing.
The program focuses on re-nourishing and detoxifying the body. When one does this properly, most health conditions go away on their own.
The development program is a life path. This means that to move along most rapidly, one needs to integrate the program as much as possible into one’s daily lifestyle.
HOW DOES A DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM DIFFER FROM HOLISTIC HEALTH CARE AND NATUROPATHY?
The development program differs markedly from other holistic, medical, and naturopathic programs in the following ways:
- The development program does not involve diagnosis, prescription, treatment and cure of diseases. We know this sounds unusual. Instead of diagnoses and treatments, the development program focuses upon a path of living that slowly corrects body chemistry. When this occurs, health conditions disappear on their own.
- The development program does not focus upon symptom removal. Symptoms go away on their own when body chemistry becomes more balanced. This was quite remarkable to the author when he began using this program over 45 years ago.
- Development programs rarely involve the use of remedies. Foods, nutritional supplements and healing procedures are used in a special integrated manner, rather than as remedies. This is a major difference between this program and most all others.
PRACTICAL ASPECTS
Cost for the basic or free program. There is no fee for the basic or free program that one does oneself. Just go to The Free or Basic Development Program.
Cost for the full program. For the full program, we require a non-refundable fee of $120.00 USD. This covers the cost of the basic hair mineral test.
If we go on to set up a full supervised program, there is an extra fee of $50-200.00 USD for a long consultation and the full program. The consultation fee varies among our Helpers.
The reason we do it this way is that to set up an accurate, Dr. Wilson needs to find the person and speak with the planning souls. If this is not possible, we cannot set up a full program for reasons of safety and accuracy. To learn more, go to the Find A Helper page.
Retesting. During the full program, retest mineral analyses are needed every six months or occasionally sooner. The fee is the same or a little less than for the initial test and consultation.
The other main cost is the nutritional supplements, which cost about $150.00 to $300.00 US dollars monthly for adults and less for children. One can reduce the cost of supplements to about $150.00 US dollars per month by taking the supplements twice, instead of three times daily. Results may be slower.
Duration. Many people report feeling better in a few weeks to a few months. Chronic disease and trauma release often take a number of years to correct. Development is a slow, amazing process that continues for years.
Copycats. A number of physicians, nutritionists and others trained with us and claim to offer the same program. Most are imposters and do not offer the programs correctly. We cannot recommend them. We can only recommend the Helpers listed on this website at the Find A Helper page.
THE THEORY BEHIND THE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
The development program is based upon the The Stress Theory Of Disease, General Systems Theory and certain less well known aspects of Genetics. These are all newer concepts regarding the way in which complex, regenerating systems operate.
Sadly, these principles are not incorporated enough into standard medical care or natural health care at this time. We sincerely hope this will change. Here are a few more details:
Systems theory. From the perspective of systems theory, most disease is simply evidence of a system out of balance. When the whole body system becomes remineralized, balanced and strengthened at deep levels, most “disease entities” disappear on their own. The focus is on health, not on naming, analyzing or taking remedies for disease.
The stress theory of disease. This is the largely unappreciated work of Hans Selye, MD. Disease occurs in stages. Deep healing requires reversing the stages one at a time. Deep Healing is not about 'curing' or symptom removal.
So-called non-coding or “junk DNA”. Development is based on an ancient concept that human beings have the genetic capacity to enjoy far greater health and longevity than they presently enjoy.
