We have been conditioned to believe that each of our ailments requires a specific remedy. Thus we take aspirin for headaches and antihistamines for allergies. We also see specialists such as podiatrists, psychiatrists, urologists and gynecologists. Further, in emotional healing we consider fear, guilt, grief and trauma to be separate problems requiring separate techniques. To most, it is a completely foreign idea to use the same technique for a headache that you use for a height phobia. Yet, that is precisely what you can do with EFT. But please note that Try it on everything also assumes common sense. It would be inappropriate, for example, to drink a gallon of gasoline to see if you can "tap it away." Similarly, untrained people should not go where they don't belong and thus try EFT on truly emotionally disturbed people.
