It all depends upon the health challenge you are going through. If you experience complete relief of the complaints you were having at the time of your consultation that is wonderful. Most people seem to just want their symptoms to go away, but relief of symptoms does not mean that you are completely healed. Remember symptoms are never caused by something that happened yesterday, they are caused by an accumulation of toxins over a period of time. For some a long period of time, for others shorter. Total health is when all systems are working totally in harmony with each other, not just when your symptoms go away. If you stop the layering process whether TBA or any alternative healing methods, most likely the symptoms tend to come back. The goal is to get to the root cause of the problem. Dis-ease is formed by a combination of layers. If complete healing is what you want to achieve from the inside out, it requires commitment and diligence in healing those layers in a particular order which are revealed in your TBA evaluation. It is hard to know exactly how many layers need to be corrected, but based on my experience thus far, the more imbalanced or dis-eased the individual the more time it takes. But, what is a year out of your life if you have been unwell for most of your life? Month to month remedies seem to help these kind of people the most, where as once every 2 or 3 months seems to work for others. Basically just listen to your body. The soul talks to you through your body, if you listen carefully you will know exactly when you need another remedy.
