PreEmptive Healing – A Guided Meditation
Dr. Anthony J DeMarco believes that patients deserve more than just a “What to expect in terms of your physical experience” speech from your medical provider. Patients need to know that they have the power to impact the outcome of their medical experience. PreEmptive Healing helps patients better prepare for their upcoming medical procedure and significantly impacts their healing potential.
To help you with this transforming process, Dr. DeMarco has created an audio guide titled PreEmptive Healing. The guide is divided into three parts:
Part 1. The promise and benefits of PreEmptive Healing
Part 2. How to strengthen the relationships with the important people in your life.
Part 3. A guided meditation to help you relax and to prepare yourself both physically and mentally for your upcoming procedure.
PreEmptive Healing will integrate your mind and body–through music, words and visualizations–and will empower you to lower any fears and anxieties you may be experiencing prior to your procedure. Through this preparation, you can empower your mind and body to begin healing prior to the procedure, in other words, to begin “PreEmptive Healing.” Our promise to you is that we will help prepare you for your procedure, regardless of its complexity.
Here is the science behind this approach. First, it is importantto understand that blood flow is essential for healing. When blood flow is constricted (squeezed), healing potential is significantly decreased. High blood pressure constricts the blood vessels in your body. So, the goal is to reduce blood pressure prior to and during your surgical procedure. This is difficult for most people because anxiety and fear about the procedure cause high blood pressure.
The PreEmptive Healing audio guide will lower your anxiety and fear. By lowering fear and anxiety, you will lower your adrenalin or, in medical terms, reduce your sympathetic outflow. By lowering your sympathetic outflow, you will lower your heart rate and blood pressure. When this happens, blood flow throughout your body increases. With increased blood flow comes improved healing. Invest in your recovery by treating yourself to the PreEmptive Healing audio guide.

Amazing! Not clear for me, how offen you updating your preemptivehealing.com.
Thank you
As a person who has always “feared” the dentist, knowing that I was going to have to get a root canal scared me. My primary dentist contacted a dentist who specializes in root canal and also provided anesthesia. Well, I was so impressed with Dr. DeMarco. He contacted me in advance of the procedure, spent at least 30 minutes talking to me about the process, understood all my anxiety and concerns. He sent me a tape to listen to which had great ideas on ways to relax. The morning of the procedure was very stressful getting there, but once I arrived Dr. DeMarco immediately calmed me down, talked to me and quickly began the anesthesia administration. Waking up was great, Dr. DeMarco was wonderfu!!! He has since called me twice as a follow up (can you imagine a Dr. calling twice to see how you are feeling. I highly recommend using Dr. DeMarco for any medical or dental procedure you might be having that requires anesthesia. THANK YOU DR. DEMARCO
As a mother of a child who was having two surgeries in one year, I was more than stressed. Prior to my daughter’s tonsilectomy, her second surgery that year, Dr. DeMarco suggested I participate by listening to the Preemptive Healing Meditation with my daughter. I think that by listening and participating, I was in a better state to support my daughter’s fears. We downloaded it onto her IPOD. We listened individually and together several times the evening before and several times again the morning of the surgery. We were both more relaxed and stable. The recording helped us support each other and approach the surgery in a positive way. It also helped in her healing process. Thank you Dr DeMarco:)
Unable to get the required rest necessary to function due to stress, I listened to this CD which helped me to get the sleep i needed to get my life back on track and enjoy spending time with my family and not taking my lack of rest out on my children and wife. Thanks Dr. DeMarco for giving me back my family and my life thru relaxation.
