Candace B. Pert, Ph.D.
From the hit movie
What the Bleep do We Know!?
and author of the best selling book
"Molecules of Emotion"

Dr. Nicholas Tivoli, Dr. Candace Pert & Dr. Joan Norton

When asked, during a recent interview on JOLT radio, what she believed the medicine of the future would look like, Dr. Candace Pert stated, "Network Chiropractic" (at-ease Wellness Center), Dr. Pert said that she believes medicine will be more about bodywork and more attentive to our emotional state. We will use various new paradigm methods that use emotions to heal ourselves. Like Network Chiropractic. While it looks like simple touching it accomplishes amazing transformation of ones core beliefs and patterns.

Dr. Pert is one of the scientists featured in the hit movie What the Bleep Do We Know? She is also the author of the popular book, Molecules of Emotion, Why You Feel the Way You Feel.

Dr. Pert was in Tucson as the keynote speaker for the kickoff of the Unity of Tucson Health Fair. It was at this talk that she provided evidence of the biochemical basis for awareness and consciousness, validating what Eastern philosophers, shamans, rishis, and alternative practitioners have known and practiced for centuries. The body is not a mindless machine; the body and mind are one.

Dr. Pert gave us a vivid scientific picture of how awareness can actually transform matter, create an entirely new body. We were honored to have her as a guest in our home for several days after her talk. We also had the privilege of giving her a little at~ease care (multiple adjustments) while she was in Tucson. The following is what she wrote about her experiences with our at-ease adjustment process.

"Nicholas and Joan do, in my mind, the most advanced form of chiropractic wellness available today. … I had the privilege of staying with them in Tucson when I gave a talk entitled: Emotions and Consciousness: Healing the Body mind.

"Their work embodies a method for reaching past traumatic moments, thus releasing old baggage and allowing us to be present with joy. In their capable hands, I experienced a mini-gate with 6 adjustments over a few days.

"During one adjustment, Nicholas observed me sobbing in the body postures of a 5-year-old, and asked me what had happened at that age. Over the next few days, in healing that continued while I was back in DC, I pieced together a series of memory fragments that had come up in my meditation over the years. I finally understood the roots of the tumultuous relationship between my mother and father, and how it profoundly impacted my own self-esteem. That "head" processing took days, but the feeling of being comfortable in my own body happened right from the start when I got up from their table.

"Dr. Norton and Dr. Tivoli's work is amazing and I highly recommend it to anyone lucky enough to live in Tucson."

Dr. Pert was awarded her Ph.D. in pharmacology from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

Dr. Pert has published over 250 scientific articles on peptides and their receptors and the role of these neuropeptides in the immune system. She is the scientist that discovered the opiate receptors and the actions of receptors. She has an international reputation in the field of neuropeptide and receptor pharmacology, and chemical neuroanatomy.

She was recently featured in "Washingtonian" magazine as one of Washington's fifty "Best and Brightest" individuals. She holds a number of patents for modified peptides in the treatment of psoriasis, Alzheimer's disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, stroke and head trauma. One of these, peptide T, is currently undergoing research, in the United States, for the treatment of AIDS and neuroAIDS.
