History of the O.N.E.
Research Foundation

Scott Walker, D.C. graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1965. Although a successful doctor by most standards, he was constantly frustrated by some patients getting excellent results and others with similar complaints having little or no results. The question arose for Dr. Walker as it had for so many doctors before him, "Why do I sometimes get such miraculous results, and other times seem to fail?" And like many doctors before him, he too came to realize that the emotional factor was very significant.

Born of his frustration, eventually Dr. Walker developed a procedure (later to be called Neuro Emotional Technique-NET) which had surprising, welcome and most of all, unprecedented results. Using the emotional-meridian correlations of the East, Goodheart's Applied Kinesiology principles, and chiropractic spinal adjusting, Walker was elated to see that by merely having the patient hold specific traumatic events in their memory while having specific spinal adjustments, results increased dramatically. He was then encouraged by fellow local practitioners who he had treated with this technique.

These fellow doctors asked him to present a "private seminar" so they could gain a better understanding of the NET and use it in their practices.

The first seminar was held on May 7, 1988. Because of the attending doctors' unexpected positive feedback on the recoveries of their previously chronic patients, Dr. Walker consented to schedule additional seminars. This led to a new phase of his career as he began teaching the technique to a wider professional audience. An additional method of correction (apart from spinal adjusting), utilizing a simple finger contact of acupoints, discovered by Walker in 1987, allowed for NET's usage in healing disciplines outside of chiropractic. Today, with his wife Deborah Walker, DC, he has taught NET internationally to over 10,000 doctors, and to date, there are approximately 4,000 formal NET seminar graduates and over 300 Certified NET Practitioners.

The Evolution of The ONE Research Foundation

Graduate doctors were very enthusiastic in their desire to scientifically validate and spread the technique. To scientifically validate means to demonstrate that a technique or process is totally reproducible. Totally reproducible is defined as a situation in which anyone can replicate the findings and get the same results.

In 1993, in a spontaneous gesture at an NET seminar, attendees raised over $4,000 to initiate the legal framework for The ONE Foundation dedicated to advancing world health through educating the healthcare community and the public in the utilization and efficacy of Neuro Emotional Technique.
With the legal work completed, the Foundation submitted an application to become a California Non-Profit Public Benefit Corporation, within the meaning of Sect. 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code, on May of 1993. The resolution to install elected board members and officers took place in August of 1994.
On June 25, 2002, the existing Board of Directors approved a change in the organizations name from the ONE Foundation( Our Net Effect Foundation) to the ONE Research Foundation(ONERF). The name change symbolized a renewed vigor in the focus of the organization. The focus was to deepen and strengthen research efforts and to become more effective in the attainment of this goal. To that end, the Board has grown to include an Education Committee Chair, A Research Committee Chair and the Board has hired a Research Director.

Since the inception of the Foundation, practitioners and patients alike have given generously of their time, talents and money. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been raised to fund NET research. To date the ONERF has had four studies published with many more on the way. Two were done by Kristopher B. Peterson D.C. on the effects of NET relative to phobias and cholesterol levels and one was done by Daniel Monti, M.D. and John Sinnott, D.C. on the validation of muscle testing. The most recent is Hypothyroidism: A New Model for Conservative Management in 2 Cases- Peter Bablis B.Sc., Grad. D. C., Grad. Dip. Sports Sc. and Henry Pollard B.Sc., Grad. Dip. Chiro., Grad. Dip. App. Sc., M. Sports Sc., Ph.D. , Chiropractic Journal of Australia 2004;34:11-18.

The ONERF is at the cutting edge of Mind-Body medicine. Over the next few years we plan to expand our research efforts to bring NET into the medical and public eye as well as into the curriculum of professional schools around the globe. With the support of our growing NET community the realization of our goals seems inevitable.
