Linda Parker is a real person, residing in suburban Chicago, Illinois. This is her true story, that happened during the summer of 2010.
Last summer, her father was hospitalized critically ill, hanging on to life in a hospital intensive care unit, due to injuries he sustained due to a freak accident at his summer home.
After three weeks in the Intensive Care Unit, he was still gravely ill, clinging to a thread of life, with no signs of improvement. In fact, he was beginning to decline.
His doctors had little hope, if any for his recovery, much less return to his normal life. Linda refused to give up.
Here’s Linda, in her own words:
Hello, I’m Linda Parker. This past summer my 76 year old father had a terrible accident at our family summer home. After staining our wooden decks with a sprayer, as he always does, he kept working without changing his clothes. He proceeded to burn the dried weeds from the lake and caught fire. He sustained second degree burns over 15% of his body.
While in intensive care for several weeks, he didn’t sleep, with no improvement in his condition, and undoubtedly fearing he wasn’t going to make it as was my whole family. Dad experienced one serious, life endangering complication after another. It was an intense emotional roller coaster ride for all of us. I knew I had to do something. I purchased the How to Get Well Faster Teleseminar Series. The information and techniques given are truly amazing! I followed several steps.
Very long story short, I know in my heart that empowering my father with just some of the tools and techniques were what ultimately put him on his road to recovery. After 30 days in intensive care, and just 5 short weeks at home he is back to himself, even though the doctors told us we were lucky he survived at all. They also said that it would take over one year before he would be back to his normal routine. Today he is living and enjoying his life. Thank you, Dr. Elaine R. Ferguson for empowering us with such brilliant information. My Dad thanks you as well.

THERE IS!!!
Introducing the Revolutionary Healing Program Linda Downloaded and YOU can, too!
How to Get Well Faster Teleseminar Series™
It is a unique comprehensive program using several mind body techniques that together powerfully stimulate the body’s ability to heal!
Our How to Get Well Faster Teleseminar Series™ is an audio, downloadable research based mind body healing program, created for hospitalized and seriously ill patients, by an innovative holistic medical doctor, Dr. Elaine Ferguson. It is composed of several easy to use, powerful clinically proven techniques and processes that help the body to heal through relaxation, meditation, emotional healing, positive psychology and other proven strategies.
It is a power packed, research based, breakthrough program, composed of several proven mind body healing techniques that will stimulate your body’s natural healing abilities.
It enhances the patient’s health by encouraging active participation, something most doctors aren’t taught to do in medical school.
The program was created by an internationally recognized, innovative, holistic medicine expert, and author, Elaine R. Ferguson, MD. The program’s mind body clinically tested and techniques have been proven to:
- Accelerate the body’s healing, while reducing recovery time and the length of hospitalization
- Dramatically reduce pain and the need for pain-relieving medications
- Decrease side effects and the complication of medical procedures
- Ease emotional distress and anxiety that often triggers detrimental cellular changes that accompany illness and lowers stress hormone levels, which contributes to the vast majority of chronic diseases
Medical researchers from around the world have found and demonstrated the power of the mind, to accelerate the body’s ability to heal itself and to get well faster. While the vast majority of mind-body healing programs usually have one or two techniques, which are powerful in their own right, but not effective for everyone. That’s the reason How to Get Well Faster Teleseminar Series™ was created. It combines several clinically proven mind-body techniques, that when used together, amplify the power and potency of each individual technique. Used together, the results, as Linda shared are amazing. Also, it allows your loved one the opportunity to choose several (preferably all of the techniques) that together, are more powerful and promote more rapid healing.
For many years, the only option for those with serious and sometimes life-threatening health conditions, were drugs and surgery. While helpful, these treatments, too, have significant risks, complications and potential side effects. A recent report from the Institute of Medicine, found that even when taking drugs at the right amount, there are numerous side effects, and drug interactions. Also, hospital errors, hospital acquired infections, account for over 100,000 unnecessary deaths each year.
I believe, it’s no accident that you found our program! I am happy to share with you that today could be the turning point for your sick loved one! Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to introduce myself to you, I’m Dr. Elaine Ferguson the creator of the How to Get Well Faster Teleseminar Series™. It is a unique, one-of-a-kind program, that will guide your sick loved one through several clinically proven techniques that have helped people to heal and get discharged faster from the hospital.
As a physician, a daughter and caregiver, I realized the importance of contributing to the patient experience in a positive way. I believe inspiring, educating and assisting treatment goals in this way has the potential to make a significant contribution to the health and well-being of your sick loved one, patients across the US and globally.
I’ve created a program designed specifically to enhance the patient’s experience, improve health and well-being, and shorten hospital stays, with your loved one in mind!
During the last twenty five years, I have not only practiced holistic medicine, but have also reviewed the medical literature and found that thousands of studies, many conducted at medical institutions in the US, Canada, China, Europe and other countries, have clearly demonstrated the power the mind has to promote healing and well-being.
These studies don’t support our current approach to treatment. It is vital to actively engage the patient in health-improving strategies. That’s the main reason why your loved one’s doctors aren’t aware of these remarkable research findings that could help their patients dramatically improve their health. And the reason why this research is ignored.
Modern medicine, while having made profound advances in technology and certain treatments, has failed to address critical psychological and emotional issues, especially those related to the individual patient’s experience of disease and illness, that can have a profound impact on the body, including a more rapid recovery.
During my medical education, I expected to learn a lot about health and how to help my patients get well, beyond drugs and surgery, but that never happened. In truth, medical schools really don’t teach future doctors how to improve their patient’s health, or get well, regardless of the fact that there is plenty of research supporting this approach. Instead, medical education focuses primarily on how to treat the body using drugs, surgery, and expensive highly technical diagnostic examinations. The education of future doctors does not include information about the role the mind plays in health and disease, despite the fact that it has a tremendous impact. Instead we were taught how to treat a patient’s disease, not how to treat our patients, and that’s a huge difference, because each patient is a unique person. Unfortunately, the patient isn’t at the center of his or her medical care, the disease is. Even more disturbing, we were encouraged to be distant, uninvolved, and unconcerned about our patients’ well- being.
I was deeply disturbed by the nagging feeling that something was missing, but I couldn’t identify exactly what it was. I wanted to do more to help my patients, but I didn’t know what to do. For years, I was plagued with an aching desire to help my patients, to soothe their emotional pain and suffering that I was trained to overlook and deem irrelevant.
When I began practicing medicine, I immediately recognized that I could not spend my entire professional life prescribing drugs and surgery. I knew there was more I should be doing for my patients. I began to explore nutrition and other healing methods, almost 30 years ago. My life changed dramatically and I when I stumbled upon the scientific research, a whole new avenue of healing was revealed to me. I believe that most doctors do their best to help their patients, but there’s a lot more that my fellow physicians can and should do to help them get well. Yet sadly, the vast majority of doctors don’t look beyond their training, and they only know how to treat symptoms using drugs and recommending surgery. Drugs and surgery don’t truly improve your health, in most instances, they only suppress the symptoms of your disease.
The leading causes of disease are stress and lifestyle choices. And doctors don’t have the education or time to coach their patients on issues that can help improve their health. Because doctors aren’t aware of the medical research I’ve based this program on, I’m giving you a special report that you should share with your loved one’s treating physician. It explains the core components of the program, and the scientific evidence proving the effectiveness of each component.
Each year, over 40 million Americans are hospitalized in the nation’s 5,185 hospitals. Every hospitalization, due to serious medical illnesses, places patients an environment that puts them at risk for additional complications, while treating their medical conditions. Based on the findings of numerous studies about hospital errors, treatment complications, side effects of drugs, the risk of high tech procedures, and the high cost of medical treatment, patients need to get well faster now more than ever before.
As for hospitals, it doesn’t pay to get their patients well faster. It is a double edged financial sword. Duke University School of Medicine (my alma mater) Chancellor Emeritus Ralph Snyderman, MD, who reported the savings from personalized wellness program, addressed this point in his opinion piece in the Journal of the American Medical Association:
“Ironically, because reimbursement compensates in-hospital patient care at a higher level than outpatient services, the health system realized a financial disadvantage,and the program proved economically unsustainable.”

- Reason #1 – You don’t think it will work for your sick loved one. You’re sick, and probably tired, but you think your illness is too far gone, and it won’t work for you. I’ve seen many patients who were seriously ill experience dramatic reversals of their conditions. Dr. Bernie Siegel, a renowned surgeon and author, said, “There are no terminal diseases only terminal patients,” meaning the determining factors reside within you, especially your decision to get healthy and live!
- Reason #2 — You don’t think your sick loved one will use it or has the energy to do it. While this is a powerful program, it requires minimal energy to accomplish your goal. It does need your desire to be healthy. That is the fuel, that will charge all of the techniques to do change your health and physiology. The program was created with resistance to use in mind. If you encourage your sick loved one to listen to the program’s introduction, which explains how and why it’s effective, we believe that will increase his or her likelihood of using it.
- Reason #3 — You don’t think it’s proven because your doctor doesn’t know about it. Literally thousands of studies over the last 3-4 decades have documented the effectiveness of the techniques included in the How to Get Well Faster Teleseminar Series™. The research was conducted at major medical institutions such as Harvard, University of Pennsylvania, UCLA, University of Michigan, Stanford, University of Miami, University of Texas, and many more. The research studies were published in major medical journals, including, The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), The Lancet, and the Annals of Internal Medicine. There’s a list of a few studies at the end of this website you can search out on the internet.
- Reason #4 – You’re afraid what your loved one’s doctor might object. Many doctors, if not most are completely unaware of the techniques included in the How to Get Well Faster Teleseminar Series™. We have included a white paper report, with an overview for each specific technique, highlights of the research, and a list of the research studies, for your doctor to review and help him or her to understand the validity of your efforts!
- Reason #5 – You’re afraid what your family or friends might say. It’s highly unusual if you have family and friends who’ve been exposed to the bounty of scientific research that supports the fundamentals of the How to Get Well Faster Teleseminar Series™ and it’s techniques. You can share the proof with them as well, contained within the previously mentioned list of many clinical studies reported in peer-reviewed journals that document the effectiveness of the information and techniques included in the program. The scientific foundation of the program, using a simple and understandable approach to help them understand our program’s tremendous value and potential. And, who knows? They might want to purchase this product, also, or share it with another. It can help anyone tremendously!
- Reason #6 — You sense your loved one may be unconsciously afraid to be healthy. Some people who are sick, don’t realize the secondary benefit an illness might afford. For example, it may be easier to be ill, than to face a frightening personal issue, such as relationship disruption, job dissatisfaction, etc.
- Reason #7 — You don’t think you can afford it. How can you not afford it? Your health is priceless. In fact, I believe, our health is our true wealth. And when you’ve got your health, you’ve got just about EVERYTHING! The cost of this program is extremely reasonable, and I wanted to make sure that this program was packed with so much helpful information, that you would find it difficult to not purchase it.
