Rosemary Edwards and "Neuro Stress Release"
Aussie “healer” Rosemary Edwards, a woman whose slick and well-designed website (nsr-energyhealing.com) is a compendium of more worthless New Age treatments than you can throw a boomerang at.
The bolding throughout is mine.
But who exactly is Rosemary Edwards and what is Neuro Stress Release (NSR)?
By Julia
According to her website:
Note how the use of the third person allows Rosemary to blow her own didgeridoo without resorting to false modesty. And be warned that this article contains so much repetition of the words “heal” and “healing” that by the time you’ve finished reading it they will be completely meaningless to you. This isn’t necessarily a problem because they don’t seem to mean much to Rosemary either.
The secret of Rosemary's success is Neuro Stress Relief (NSR), a system “developed by brilliant Queensland Kinesologist Peter O'Neill”. Visit www.kinesology.nu/peteroneill to have your worst fears about Peter's brilliance confirmed.
Erm...I don't think so, Rosemary:
www.skepdic.com/akinesiology.html
Mind you, she certainly knows her target market. I'm rather disappointed that she didn't give the Aboriginal people of her own country the credit for discovering this wondrous technique – after all, no less an authority than Gary Mannion assures us that they can cure broken bones by tapping into the “ethric level”, whatever that is. But I digress. I know you're all agog to discover what NSR is and how it's supposed to work, so fasten your seatbelts and prepare yourselves for a journey to the outer limits of Rampant Quackery!
Rosemary informs us that NSR system:
We never discover exactly what these mysterious “affirmations and commands” are, but for some reason I like to imagine Rosemary performing them whilst clad in flowing robes embroidered with occult symbols.
Pardon? Rosemary seems to be talking about the Chinese Five Elements. What happened to the Western Four Elements of earth, air, fire and water? Perhaps they’re simply not...well, Eastern enough for New Age tastes.
Ooh, academic jargon! She MUST know what she’s talking about!
“Literally rewiring your body”? This sounds like something that could be scientifically detected… Oh, never mind.
Actually, Rosemary, traditional Chinese and Indian medicine have something in common – few people in China and India use them if they can afford empirically-based Western medicine.

Do I hear cries of “WHAT A STEAMING PILE OF MALODOROUS NEW AGE UNICORN POO?” Call me a closed-minded, embittered old cynic but I have to say that I'm not entirely convinced by Rosemary’s spiel. Put your sick bags down for a minute, stop giggling and let's hear more about NSR:
Yes, it's that bloody negative energy again. Why, oh WHY are the world's physicists involved in an evil conspiracy to deny that negative energy exists? And for those of you who thought that the concept of a “life force” belonged to the pre-scientific era, here's proof that it still has its devotees. Well, at least in Australia. And where the “life force” is, can cellular memory be far behind?
www.skepdic.com/cellular.html
Rosemary, isn’t DNA amazing enough for you? Why do you feel the need to peddle claptrap like “cellular memory”? How far back do our past lives, the reality of which you take for granted, extend? Do my cells contain information about my previous lives as a 19th century factory hand, a medieval nun, a Neanderthal hunter, a primitive mammal, a fish, right back to the first single-celled organism? That’s a heck of a lot of information to fit into each and every cell. Strewth, it’s a wonder there’s room for the DNA!
If NSR alters the body chemistry is some way it should be possible to detect the changes. But don’t hold your breath waiting for proof – we’re in Testimonials country, not the land of Peer-Reviewed Journals.
Here we go again, back to the 18th and early 19th centuries. There is no such thing as the life force, Rosemary.
Now brace yourself for her account of an amazing discovery by Peter O'Neill (brilliant Queensland Kinesologist):

Those of a squeamish disposition will probably cringe at the thought of pushing their eyes into twelve different directions, an ability I associate with chameleons. However, they will be relieved – if baffled – to hear that:
?!!!
At this point we’ll pause for a break because I feel a Lolcat coming on:

Welcome back! I’m sure we all feel better for that…
Apparently the miraculous NSR system isn't just confined to health matters. There seems to be absolutely nothing it can't alchemically transmute from dross into purest gold:
Rosemary, are you telling me that if my father hadn’t run off with a Glaswegian bus conductress in 1964 I could now be shacked up with Ralph Fiennes? Curse you, flame-haired temptress Eileen McDougall and the Number 27 you rode in on!
“Enlightening”? The only thing credulous readers of Rosemary's site will discover is that they have no critical thinking skills, are grossly ignorant about science and have wasted their money. Unfortunately, because they have no critical thinking skills they won’t even discover that.
You’re never too young to benefit from NSR:
Do you own a neurotic cat, a depressed dog or a psychotic gerbil? Are you embarrassed by your tortoise’s nymphomania?
Help is at hand:
Rosemary can also stop the obesity epidemic afflicting fast-food guzzling Western nations:
Regular visitors to BadPsychics will know that even the most spiritual people – let’s be honest, especially the most spiritual people – aren’t averse to making lots of money and claiming to help others do likewise:
Of course, by setting yourself up as an NSR practitioner – I doubt if there's a rigorous training programme – you could become a magnet for even more money!
“Sabotages”? The mind boggles. “Sharon, I have to tell you that your koala 'n' chip shop isn't prospering because the Koala Protection Society is radiating negative energy in your direction”.
Rightio...Let's assume, just for the sake of argument, that I'm sickly, poor, lonely and overweight. I’m living on Vegemite sandwiches, my business has failed and I'm worried about my bed-wetting kid. The cat doesn't look too sprightly either. How can Rosemary help me?
It sounds like the answer to all my problems – but as I’ve already mentioned I'm hard up, which is one of the reasons I was attracted to NSR in the first place. What does all this cost?
Yes, save a whopping £94 by splashing out on Rosemary’s Ultimate Package – or, better still, save £233 by avoiding her like…well, like a source of negative energy.
Proven by whom, pray tell?
Damn! That’s a bit of a blow. But if we all have cellular memories and are affected by the life force and mysterious forms of energy, surely Rosemary’s treatment should work for everyone?
“Universal energy”, forsooth! And since chakras are purely imaginary it’s hard to see how one method of opening them can be more powerful than another.
www.skepdic.com/energy.html
www.skepdic.com/essays/energyhealing.htm
Allow me to suggest a life lesson that needs to be learnt by everyone as early as possible: steer clear of New Age numpties like Rosemary Edwards.
Because who could have guessed that losing your Tiny Tears doll at the age of six would trigger chronic constipation thirty years later?
“Energy Centres for these organs”…why does this phrase conjure up visions of Curry’s? “And here we have the Basic “Bloodpumper” Heart, although I think you’ll find the DeLuxe “Hearts and Flowers” model a little more attractive”…
“The brain sends thoughts and messages to all parts of the body and mind”? Yes, and I walk with my legs and lower limbs.
Just to reiterate: Rosemary uses her own eyes to access the patient’s mid-brain. And why not? It makes as much sense as anything else on her website.
Yes, and if they splashed out on the Ultimate Package a considerable weight has also been lifted from their bank accounts.
If there’s no guesswork and the body is telling Rosemary what to do, how come “what works for one person might not necessarily work for another?” For the simple reason that Rosemary is earning good money for doing, essentially, nothing whatsoever. Any improvement felt by her patients is due to the placebo effect, and those who don’t fully buy into her rhetoric will feel no better – or even worse – for her “healing”. Not that you have to be ill to avail yourself of Rosemary’s skills:
No – it’s using NSR to Rosemary’s full advantage to make money. I wonder how many of her clients have fallen for this tripe, and how much she earns for preventing non-existent illnesses with a non-existent method of treatment?
If you can’t visit Rosemary in person (she’s based on the Gold Coast, Queensland), don’t despair – she also does distant healing by phone!
Whoa there, Rosemary! Are you saying that you “only need a second” to pick up an adult’s energy over the phone but it takes “less than a minute” to pick up a child’s? What form of energy are you talking about?
And let's not forget our furry friends:
There’s also the e-mail option:
So a Long Distance Healing Session costs exactly the same as a face-to-face session?
Rosemary has clearly hit upon a nice little earner here. She can “heal” you of illness, financial problems or loneliness. It doesn’t matter if you’re in the same room as her or hundreds of miles away, if you’re asleep or awake or even if you’re a human being or an animal. She doesn’t give refunds if her clients aren’t happy with the “healing” they received and isn't responsible for any adverse effects from NSR, which as it doesn't do anything can only arise from clients' neglecting to follow mainstream medical advice. Her claim that “call costs are incurred by Rosemary” sounds generous until you read the following disclaimer:
The rest of the disclaimer is also worth reading:
Actually she makes some quite specific claims but has enough sense not to promise or guarantee anything. Not even when NSR has been PROVEN to work (hint, hint).
This standard get-out clause is, of course, utter nonsense. NSR is no more complementary to mainstream medical treatment that astrology is complementary to astronomy. Rosemary Edwards, like most other New Age “healers”, lives in a pre-Enlightenment world of mysterious energies and life forces – precisely the sort of mumbo-jumbo that medical science consigned to the dustbin of history when it began to develop reality-based treatments that actually work. Seriously ill people desperate or foolish enough to abandon conventional medical treatment in favour of Rosemary’s ludicrous NSR would be risking their long-term health and possibly their lives, as her refusal to take responsibility for “any adverse affects [sic], however arising, that anyone may have from receiving a Neuro Stress Release healing” makes clear.
NSR is no more effective than painting your left ear purple and singing the Birdie Song whilst soaking your feet in a bucketful of custard on nights when the moon is full. The only thing it does is make easy money for Rosemary Edwards, Peter O'Neill (the brilliant Queensland Kinesologist) and anyone else who uses it. However, throwing away your medicine or discontinuing mainstream medical treatment could be fatal because – unlike NSR – it has a tangible effect.
Although much of Rosemary’s site is so dotty it’s hard to take seriously (she seems to be obsessed with coconut milk, "the fluid of life"), the contents of the “Cancer” section are beyond a joke:
“All illness is caused by an emotional problem?” This revelation will come as a shock to those hidebound medical practitioners (you know, the ones Rosemary warns her patients not to stop seeing) who think illness is caused by bacteria, viruses and suchlike… And now for some truly appalling nonsense:
There is NO evidence that cancer is caused by a weakened immune system. For many years quacks have made a lot of money by offering to cure cancer patients by boosting their immune systems. Needless to say, even if there was a connection between the two there is no way that NSR could possibly make a scrap of difference to the immune system. Here's an excellent Quackwatch article explaining the origins of this brand of harmful nonsense:
www.quackwatch.com/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/Cancer/iat.html
More information about a worthless immune system-boosting cancer treatment:
www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/Cancer/immustim.html
A short but informative article on the subject of cancer and the immune system:
skeptically.org/quackery/id16.html
Back to Rosemary's baloney:
Many people with an unusually high number of cancer victims in their families are, understandably, very anxious about the possibility of one day being diagnosed with cancer themselves. I do hope that none of them are paying this disgusting charlatan for regular NSR sessions that cannot possibly do anything other than – perhaps – lull them into a false sense of security.
Rosemary Edwards, welcome to BadPsychics and the 21st century!

But who exactly is Rosemary Edwards and what is Neuro Stress Release (NSR)?
By Julia
According to her website:
Rosemary is a gifted and warm, passionate spiritual healer.
Note how the use of the third person allows Rosemary to blow her own didgeridoo without resorting to false modesty. And be warned that this article contains so much repetition of the words “heal” and “healing” that by the time you’ve finished reading it they will be completely meaningless to you. This isn’t necessarily a problem because they don’t seem to mean much to Rosemary either.
Let her guide you through your life’s journey. You can experience a unique way of healing like never before. Rosemary opens the hidden doorways to a deeper understanding of your innerself...Relieving illness and depression that was once a great burden.
The secret of Rosemary's success is Neuro Stress Relief (NSR), a system “developed by brilliant Queensland Kinesologist Peter O'Neill”. Visit www.kinesology.nu/peteroneill to have your worst fears about Peter's brilliance confirmed.
NSR combines a multiple of healing modalities with Kinesology being the foundation. Kinesology Muscle Testing is a technique discovered and used thousands of years ago by Native American Indians.
Erm...I don't think so, Rosemary:
www.skepdic.com/akinesiology.html
Mind you, she certainly knows her target market. I'm rather disappointed that she didn't give the Aboriginal people of her own country the credit for discovering this wondrous technique – after all, no less an authority than Gary Mannion assures us that they can cure broken bones by tapping into the “ethric level”, whatever that is. But I digress. I know you're all agog to discover what NSR is and how it's supposed to work, so fasten your seatbelts and prepare yourselves for a journey to the outer limits of Rampant Quackery!
Rosemary informs us that NSR system:
...uses affirmations and commands to open and access all parts of our body and brain's filing system. These commands are designed to make sure nothing hides and is cleared on all levels of consciousness...
We never discover exactly what these mysterious “affirmations and commands” are, but for some reason I like to imagine Rosemary performing them whilst clad in flowing robes embroidered with occult symbols.
...has totally modified and adapted the ancient five element system of fire, earth, metal, water and wood…
Pardon? Rosemary seems to be talking about the Chinese Five Elements. What happened to the Western Four Elements of earth, air, fire and water? Perhaps they’re simply not...well, Eastern enough for New Age tastes.
…turning it into a modern day life map. Incredibly it tells you where you are, where you're going and what you have to do...
... has modified and simplified structural modalities…
... has modified and simplified structural modalities…
Ooh, academic jargon! She MUST know what she’s talking about!
… literally rewiring your body on a physical level so that your body will heal itself. Areas covered include resetting cranials, hip twists, scoliosis, the TMJ (jaw), the balance system and much more...
“Literally rewiring your body”? This sounds like something that could be scientifically detected… Oh, never mind.
...resets the 10 major body systems, organs and glands. This is the chemical system where you can clear and reset right down to a specific hormone level if you want to say goodbye to allergies, skin rashes, constipation.
Where the Chinese use the five element system, the traditions of India focus more on the chakras or energy centers. The Neuro Stress Release system combines both, adapting them to modern times.
Where the Chinese use the five element system, the traditions of India focus more on the chakras or energy centers. The Neuro Stress Release system combines both, adapting them to modern times.
Actually, Rosemary, traditional Chinese and Indian medicine have something in common – few people in China and India use them if they can afford empirically-based Western medicine.
There are body system chakras, sense chakras, secondary chakras, the seven major energy centers themselves...The NSR method of chakra clearing has to be the most powerful and thorough on the planet.
Do I hear cries of “WHAT A STEAMING PILE OF MALODOROUS NEW AGE UNICORN POO?” Call me a closed-minded, embittered old cynic but I have to say that I'm not entirely convinced by Rosemary’s spiel. Put your sick bags down for a minute, stop giggling and let's hear more about NSR:
Negative energy can leave you feeling tired and drained. NSR can identify these energy blocks that your body is holding onto and remove them. This includes negative energy that you are holding onto from past illness or issues. Negative energy from someone else particularly someone who is unwell or depressed. This energy can block your natural life force preventing your body from healing itself.
Yes, it's that bloody negative energy again. Why, oh WHY are the world's physicists involved in an evil conspiracy to deny that negative energy exists? And for those of you who thought that the concept of a “life force” belonged to the pre-scientific era, here's proof that it still has its devotees. Well, at least in Australia. And where the “life force” is, can cellular memory be far behind?
Our cells remember all that we have been in past lives and all we have been in our lives up to the present day. As we develop and grow our cells constantly update this information.
www.skepdic.com/cellular.html
Rosemary, isn’t DNA amazing enough for you? Why do you feel the need to peddle claptrap like “cellular memory”? How far back do our past lives, the reality of which you take for granted, extend? Do my cells contain information about my previous lives as a 19th century factory hand, a medieval nun, a Neanderthal hunter, a primitive mammal, a fish, right back to the first single-celled organism? That’s a heck of a lot of information to fit into each and every cell. Strewth, it’s a wonder there’s room for the DNA!
NSR changes your mind, body and spirit which has a profound and accelerated effect in healing the body. These changes affect your cellular memory and rapidly change the physical, chemical, emotional and spiritual by literally removing the unwanted data and replacing it with positive and empowering ways.
If NSR alters the body chemistry is some way it should be possible to detect the changes. But don’t hold your breath waiting for proof – we’re in Testimonials country, not the land of Peer-Reviewed Journals.
NSR clears the deeper issues that cause disease so that the natural life force can heal the body.
Here we go again, back to the 18th and early 19th centuries. There is no such thing as the life force, Rosemary.
Now brace yourself for her account of an amazing discovery by Peter O'Neill (brilliant Queensland Kinesologist):
(By the way, does anyone else find that graphic rather disturbing? Never mind the mysterious dots, it looks as though someone is about to get their eye poked out.)
The NSR Eye Mode Technique
It has been said that your eyes are the windows to your soul, but this new development uses your eyes as the keyboard to your brain. Your eyes lead to the optic nerve which leads to the mid-brain (thalamus). This is the relay station of your brain, sending thoughts, messages and information to all parts of the body and mind. As such, the mid-brain is the key to mind, body, healing with the eyes being the entry point. So the eyes being the windows of your soul, completes the triad of mind, body and spirit.
Peter O’Neill discovered that if you push your eyes into 12 different directions (like a light eye massage) you can ‘actively access’ all parts of the brain and its filing system. Like a computer, you need to put something on the screen, either physically, chemically, emotionally or energetically, then you press ‘click’ to the brain. Like a mouse to a computer, you can move your eyes around all you like, but unless you press ‘click’ nothing happens.
*The information provided on this page is taken from Peter O'Neills Neuro Stress Release System.*

Those of a squeamish disposition will probably cringe at the thought of pushing their eyes into twelve different directions, an ability I associate with chameleons. However, they will be relieved – if baffled – to hear that:
Rosemary does this on her own eyes and not on the clients.
?!!!At this point we’ll pause for a break because I feel a Lolcat coming on:
Welcome back! I’m sure we all feel better for that…
Apparently the miraculous NSR system isn't just confined to health matters. There seems to be absolutely nothing it can't alchemically transmute from dross into purest gold:
During an NSR session it will be revealed to you why you are not experiencing and attracting fulfilling relationships. You could be holding onto negative emotions from past relationships, even past life relationships. It might even be from your parent's relationship.
Rosemary, are you telling me that if my father hadn’t run off with a Glaswegian bus conductress in 1964 I could now be shacked up with Ralph Fiennes? Curse you, flame-haired temptress Eileen McDougall and the Number 27 you rode in on!
Once you have these negative emotions and traumas cleared down to a cellular level you can then move forward in a positive way. This can be a very enlightening experience as you discover many things about yourself.
“Enlightening”? The only thing credulous readers of Rosemary's site will discover is that they have no critical thinking skills, are grossly ignorant about science and have wasted their money. Unfortunately, because they have no critical thinking skills they won’t even discover that.
You’re never too young to benefit from NSR:
Is your child experiencing learning difficulties, bed wetting, hyperactivity, low esteem and illness? During a healing your child’s deepest emotions will be revealed to you... Then, you will find out why they are experiencing difficulties or illness. Give your child the benefit of a Neuro Stress Release healing and you will see a major difference in your child’s health, self esteem and wellbeing. Your child’s age is irrelevant as a healing can help even young babies…
Do you own a neurotic cat, a depressed dog or a psychotic gerbil? Are you embarrassed by your tortoise’s nymphomania?
Help is at hand:
Our pets cannot express their emotions and what is affecting them at a deeper level. NSR talks to their body or energy field so you will find out why their sickness or behavior problem manifested…
Rosemary can also stop the obesity epidemic afflicting fast-food guzzling Western nations:
Are you finding it hard to lose weight even with dieting and exercise? Find out why, perhaps it is an emotional issue that needs to be cleared. It might be that your metabolism is slow. If this is the case by having an NSR session you will be able to step up your metabolism, and find out why losing weight is so difficult for you. You will become more focused on your goal and lose those unwanted kilos.
Regular visitors to BadPsychics will know that even the most spiritual people – let’s be honest, especially the most spiritual people – aren’t averse to making lots of money and claiming to help others do likewise:
Become a positive magnet for wealth and start attracting more prosperity into your life. Are you pushing money away from yourself without even realizing it? By having a Neuro Stress Release session you can become a magnet for money.
Of course, by setting yourself up as an NSR practitioner – I doubt if there's a rigorous training programme – you could become a magnet for even more money!
Are you wondering why others are attracting success and prosperity in their business and not you? By having an NSR session you can successfully clear obstacles, sabotages and negative energy around your business. With Kinesiology or muscle testing there is no guesswork, find out what is holding you back.
“Sabotages”? The mind boggles. “Sharon, I have to tell you that your koala 'n' chip shop isn't prospering because the Koala Protection Society is radiating negative energy in your direction”.
Rightio...Let's assume, just for the sake of argument, that I'm sickly, poor, lonely and overweight. I’m living on Vegemite sandwiches, my business has failed and I'm worried about my bed-wetting kid. The cat doesn't look too sprightly either. How can Rosemary help me?
Firstly we find out the problem or issue that needs to be addressed or otherwise doing the body's priority issue with a muscle test (kinesiology). The NSR muscle testing technique does not involve touching the client. During the session you will be able to completely relax.
www.skepdic.com/akinesiology.html
By using a combination of muscle testing and Neuro Stress Release charts I will find out the Major Life Area that the body is talking about. Check the physical body, senses, obstacles that need clearing and balance your Yin and Yang…
The body can then start to heal itself... An NSR session takes about 1 hour.

Yes, save a whopping £94 by splashing out on Rosemary’s Ultimate Package – or, better still, save £233 by avoiding her like…well, like a source of negative energy.
One of the major benefits of NSR is that it helps you to remain stress free, calm and positive. It creates deep relaxation and a wonderful feeling of well being. It has been proven to be very effective with symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress.
Proven by whom, pray tell?
The system can relieve or completely eliminate pain and illness. One of the major benefits of NSR is that it heals illness and pain before it manifests in the physical body.

Damn! That’s a bit of a blow. But if we all have cellular memories and are affected by the life force and mysterious forms of energy, surely Rosemary’s treatment should work for everyone?
…I will open your main Chakras because if they are blocked from receiving the universal energy, illness will result. During the healing I will open any main and secondary Chakras that need to be cleared. I have found that the NSR method of opening the Chakras is extremely powerful.
“Universal energy”, forsooth! And since chakras are purely imaginary it’s hard to see how one method of opening them can be more powerful than another.

www.skepdic.com/essays/energyhealing.htm
Discover by muscle testing the emotional reaction and replace it with positive and empowering words. Find the life lesson that needs to be learnt.
Allow me to suggest a life lesson that needs to be learnt by everyone as early as possible: steer clear of New Age numpties like Rosemary Edwards.
Find out the age of the body when the problem first happened.
Because who could have guessed that losing your Tiny Tears doll at the age of six would trigger chronic constipation thirty years later?
Check what organs are affected and open the Energy Centres for these organs. Find the command that needs to be used.
“Energy Centres for these organs”…why does this phrase conjure up visions of Curry’s? “And here we have the Basic “Bloodpumper” Heart, although I think you’ll find the DeLuxe “Hearts and Flowers” model a little more attractive”…
Finally I will clear the mind and body by a light eye massage which accesses the mid brain which is the key to the mind, body healing. As the brain sends thoughts and messages to all parts of the body and mind…
“The brain sends thoughts and messages to all parts of the body and mind”? Yes, and I walk with my legs and lower limbs.
…the body can then start to heal itself. I do not touch the Clients eyes but prefer to do my own on their behalf, as I would when doing a distant phone healing.
Just to reiterate: Rosemary uses her own eyes to access the patient’s mid-brain. And why not? It makes as much sense as anything else on her website.
After the NSR session you will feel calm, relaxed and positive. As many of my clients say, like a great weight has been lifted from their shoulders.
Yes, and if they splashed out on the Ultimate Package a considerable weight has also been lifted from their bank accounts.
The most amazing thing about this system is there is no guesswork and the body is telling me what to do.
If there’s no guesswork and the body is telling Rosemary what to do, how come “what works for one person might not necessarily work for another?” For the simple reason that Rosemary is earning good money for doing, essentially, nothing whatsoever. Any improvement felt by her patients is due to the placebo effect, and those who don’t fully buy into her rhetoric will feel no better – or even worse – for her “healing”. Not that you have to be ill to avail yourself of Rosemary’s skills:
I have clients who do not wait for their bodies to manifest illness but have an NSR session regularly to prevent illness and problems occurring in their lives. This is using NSR to their full advantage as they realise that prevention is better than cure.
No – it’s using NSR to Rosemary’s full advantage to make money. I wonder how many of her clients have fallen for this tripe, and how much she earns for preventing non-existent illnesses with a non-existent method of treatment?
If you can’t visit Rosemary in person (she’s based on the Gold Coast, Queensland), don’t despair – she also does distant healing by phone!
Rosemary communicates to you as the distant healing is in progress and you will be able to discuss with her the issues as they arise.
If you wish it's not necessary for you to stay on the telephone the entire time. Rosemary only needs a second to pick up your energy to commence the remote healing. Then she will email you all the results… Sessions simply involve picking up the client’s energy to proceed with the healing. The client just needs to relax during the healing as NSR is not about massage or manipulating the body
How can a child have an NSR session over the phone?
Your child does not have to stay on the phone after their energy has been picked up. It takes less than a minute to pick up your child's energy over the phone. You can also have your child's healing done with a photo that you send or email to me. The healing results will be emailed to you.
If you wish it's not necessary for you to stay on the telephone the entire time. Rosemary only needs a second to pick up your energy to commence the remote healing. Then she will email you all the results… Sessions simply involve picking up the client’s energy to proceed with the healing.

Whoa there, Rosemary! Are you saying that you “only need a second” to pick up an adult’s energy over the phone but it takes “less than a minute” to pick up a child’s? What form of energy are you talking about?
And let's not forget our furry friends:
How can an animal have an NSR session over the phone?
I usually like the person to hold onto the animal or touch the animal while I am doing the healing. This has proven to be very effective, resulting in a successful healing. Also resulting in a better understanding of your pet and if you need to do anything to help your pet to heal. Pets can also be done with a photo which you can send or email to me. The healing results will be emailed to you.

There’s also the e-mail option:
By emailing a photograph of yourself or your loved ones you can have an email healing. The results of the healing will then be emailed to you.
At the time of your distant energy healing you want to be in a quiet place free of interruptions and completely relaxed. The healing can also take place while you are asleep.
Rosemary will arrange with you a convenient time for her to call and will phone most countries. Long Distance Healing Sessions are $85 (£39) and call costs are incurred by Rosemary.

So a Long Distance Healing Session costs exactly the same as a face-to-face session?
Please Note: After the healing session has been completed, there will be no refund issued.
Rosemary has clearly hit upon a nice little earner here. She can “heal” you of illness, financial problems or loneliness. It doesn’t matter if you’re in the same room as her or hundreds of miles away, if you’re asleep or awake or even if you’re a human being or an animal. She doesn’t give refunds if her clients aren’t happy with the “healing” they received and isn't responsible for any adverse effects from NSR, which as it doesn't do anything can only arise from clients' neglecting to follow mainstream medical advice. Her claim that “call costs are incurred by Rosemary” sounds generous until you read the following disclaimer:
Although we try to make the offer available to everyone in most countries, some area’s call costs are relatively high. Rosemary has the right to withdraw the offer if she feels the cost of the phone call is beyond her expense.
The rest of the disclaimer is also worth reading:
Neuro Stress Release is a positive addition to regular medical care, and is offered only as an alternative and complimentary[sic] healing method. You are solely responsible for seeing to and continuing with your own medical treatment and care.
Neuro Stress Release is not intended as a substitute for professional medical and/or psychiatric treatment and advice. Rosemary Edwards does not diagnose conditions or prescribe any medications. Always consult your local GP and in all cases it is recommended that you continue to follow medical treatment as prescribed by your medical physician.
Healing cannot be guaranteed
Rosemary Edwards makes no specific claims, promises or guarantees.

Actually she makes some quite specific claims but has enough sense not to promise or guarantee anything. Not even when NSR has been PROVEN to work (hint, hint).
Healing is not guaranteed in any way. Our intention is to make every healing successful although it may or may not occur. What might work for one person may not necessarily work for another. We will not accept any responsibility of any adverse affects [sic], however arising, that anyone may have from receiving a Neuro Stress Release healing.
This standard get-out clause is, of course, utter nonsense. NSR is no more complementary to mainstream medical treatment that astrology is complementary to astronomy. Rosemary Edwards, like most other New Age “healers”, lives in a pre-Enlightenment world of mysterious energies and life forces – precisely the sort of mumbo-jumbo that medical science consigned to the dustbin of history when it began to develop reality-based treatments that actually work. Seriously ill people desperate or foolish enough to abandon conventional medical treatment in favour of Rosemary’s ludicrous NSR would be risking their long-term health and possibly their lives, as her refusal to take responsibility for “any adverse affects [sic], however arising, that anyone may have from receiving a Neuro Stress Release healing” makes clear.
NSR is no more effective than painting your left ear purple and singing the Birdie Song whilst soaking your feet in a bucketful of custard on nights when the moon is full. The only thing it does is make easy money for Rosemary Edwards, Peter O'Neill (the brilliant Queensland Kinesologist) and anyone else who uses it. However, throwing away your medicine or discontinuing mainstream medical treatment could be fatal because – unlike NSR – it has a tangible effect.
Although much of Rosemary’s site is so dotty it’s hard to take seriously (she seems to be obsessed with coconut milk, "the fluid of life"), the contents of the “Cancer” section are beyond a joke:
Why did I get cancer?
Discover Why Cancer Manifested In Your Body
When you first find out that you have cancer it can be very confusing as to why you have it and to know what to do. You may be asking yourself why did I get cancer or when did it manifest in my body. Well now using the power of Neuro Stress Release a uniquely structured healing system, you can now discover why you have cancer and learn what you need to do to take care of yourself on your road to recovery.
Did You Know That All Illness Is Caused By An Emotional Problem?
During an Neuro Stress Release session you will find out the emotional issue that caused your cancer and how old you were. You will have this emotional problem which is stored in your cellular memory cleared from your whole body and the result will be that your body can start to heal.

“All illness is caused by an emotional problem?” This revelation will come as a shock to those hidebound medical practitioners (you know, the ones Rosemary warns her patients not to stop seeing) who think illness is caused by bacteria, viruses and suchlike… And now for some truly appalling nonsense:
Boost your immune system
People with cancer have a weakened Immune System. Find out why your Immune System is weak and let NSR strengthen it for you. Learn how to help your Immune System to stay strong and healthy.
Your cancer has probably been lying dormant in your body for years. You will discover why your body triggered cancer off at this point in your life. Perhaps you have a situation in your life that needs to be changed. Neuro Stress Release talks directly to your body to find out what needs to be changed so you can become strong and healthy.
NSR is not only a healing system but a way to communicate with your body and gather knowledge on your condition. You will be enlightened and educated so that you can avoid cancer triggering off in your body ever again.

There is NO evidence that cancer is caused by a weakened immune system. For many years quacks have made a lot of money by offering to cure cancer patients by boosting their immune systems. Needless to say, even if there was a connection between the two there is no way that NSR could possibly make a scrap of difference to the immune system. Here's an excellent Quackwatch article explaining the origins of this brand of harmful nonsense:

Back to Rosemary's baloney:
Proven Pain Relief and Stress Reduction
*There’s that word “proven” again…*
Your cancer was first felt in the Chakras or Energetic body before it manifested in the Physical Body. Once it manifested in the physical body it was the last call from the body that it needs help.
Regular NSR sessions can help to prevent illness.

Regular NSR sessions can help to prevent illness.
Many people with an unusually high number of cancer victims in their families are, understandably, very anxious about the possibility of one day being diagnosed with cancer themselves. I do hope that none of them are paying this disgusting charlatan for regular NSR sessions that cannot possibly do anything other than – perhaps – lull them into a false sense of security.
