The original question behind healing.
The Original Concept-Therapy© Zone Healing™ begins with a deeper inquiry: why do some patients recover quickly while others do not? From that question, Dr. Thurman Fleet developed a philosophy of healing that became Concept-Therapy, and from within it, the practical application now known as Zone Healing™.
The history of Zone Healing™ begins inside a larger philosophy.
The system known as Zone Healing™ was originated by Dr. Thurman Fleet, who sought to understand the cause of disease and the Principles of true healing rather than temporary symptomatic relief. Zone Healing™ arose from this quest and proves that healing arises not from a mechanical method alone, but through a broader study of human personality, suggestion, and the causes of functional disease.
After wartime injury and exposure, he searched for healing. After experiencing profound relief from chiropractic care, Fleet became a Doctor of Chiropractic and began a long study into psychology, philosophy, theology, human behaviors and health sciences
Fleet described it as the study and application of the universal laws governing human personality and the causes of disease.
As part of his teaching and clinical work, Fleet introduced six major functional systems of the body governed by control centers in the brain.
Students came to study both the philosophical foundations and the practical applications that flourished from the development of Concept-Therapy©
Healing was understood as more than a physical procedure.
Dr. Fleet concluded that if technique alone explained healing, then identical procedures should produce identical results. Because they did not, he looked deeper into the structure of the person and the influence of ideas.
Body
The physical structure, tissues, organs, and systems through which life is expressed.
Mind
The interpretive faculty through which ideas and experiences are received and organized.
Soul
The conscious thinker and chooser, central in accepting, rejecting, and acting upon ideas.
Spirit
The deeper life principle or power that underlies the expression of health and being.
The Role of Ideas
Suggestive-Therapy© is the primary class which presents the Zone Technique™, where students learn how ideas influence healing. Through speech, tone, gesture, imagery, writing, and personal interaction, ideas may shape attitudes, behaviors, and bodily response. When accepted with faith, or fascination, these suggestions will become concepts expressed within the body.
Composite Personality
Healing ideas or images are originated by the skilled practitioner and transmitted to the receptive patient. Dr. Fleet described this state of energetic rapport as the Composite Personality. ™ In that state, suggestion becomes an active therapeutic force.
Zone Healing is the practical application—not the whole philosophy.
Within the larger framework of Suggestive Therapy©, we demonstrate how the body functions through six systems, or zones. These systems form a practical teaching model, yet Fleet consistently maintained that an understanding of the philosophy of Concept-Therapy and Suggestive Therapy are primary prerequisites to attaining consistent healing results. The successes of our students are proof of this wisdom.
Glandular
Concerned with secretory and regulatory functions within the body.
Eliminative
Linked to the body’s channels for removal, cleansing, and discharge.
Nervous
Related to communication, sensation, coordination, and control.
Digestive
Associated with nourishment, assimilation, and transformation.
Muscular
Connected with movement, structure, and physical responsiveness.
Circulatory
Concerned with transport, distribution, and vital flow throughout the body.
1. Ask the deeper question
Why does one person respond and another not, even under similar treatment?
2. Study the whole personality
Look beyond symptoms to the interplay of body, mind, soul, and spirit.
3. Understand suggestion
Recognize the influence of ideas, expectation, and relationship in the healing process.
4. Apply the zone system
Use practical methods within the context of the larger principles that explain why they matter.
Technique alone does not explain healing.
Two practitioners may perform the same physical method and obtain different results. Fleet’s work placed the emphasis on cause, personality, and principle—arguing that practical application only becomes meaningful when those foundations are understood.

The teachings associated with the original Zone Healing™ tradition invite students to explore the causes of health and disease, the influence of ideas, and the principled foundations that define the complete Concept-Therapy© philosophy.
