I think I may stay in Vietnam and try the traditional medicine they have here. Rumor has it they are better in curing chronic disease than China or Korea. I lived in Korea for a year and my health condition worsened. But I have heard of people with arthritis and chronic back pain cured by the Vietnamese hospitals here. ~Nathan
Christine Carleton <[email protected]> wrote: Judy and Nathan, My experience: L4&5 out 5/8", continuous central nerve pain damage which looked like could not stand still, sit still, or rest. Calcification and osteoporosis throughout lower spine. Also a broken clavicle from the assault (Jan 31.2001) that healed in standard time, but exasperated the situation for 3 months. Previous bulging C2-3-4 which surgeon said surgery within the week - I didn't listen to him. Could not walk more than a block. Weight bearing - credit card and key were heavy to carry. 'Miserable' --- too generous a word. After 1 yr. 3 months, my other body systems were exhausted too. Doc said it was too much weight - I said 'Explain why until the minute of the assault, my back had never hurt, at any time, for any reason?' He said the injury was permanent and I was poor a surgical risk. Chiro said she had seen one person recover partially in all her years with similar challenge. Physio made it worse. Not the same as yours but similar. Fast forward Jan 4, 2005. Range of motion in stride has gone from 12 inches to 3 feet. Forward bend - can touch floor - with palms flat. Pain level .5/10 only when I overdo it, otherwise miniscule pain .01 or .02/10 - probably because I look inside at a cellular level and watch it continue to heal. Weight bearing - can lift 2 cube moving boxes. Twisting - good by some measures - cannot do a decent yoga twist yet. Overall twist - excellent by dr. standards and age, but then how many can do a decent twist that have not had a back injury - few, very few! Walking about 1 mile every other day at a faster than average speed. What did I do? Sessions with a talented BodyTalk practitioner. Now I'm one. Had my abdominal breathing restarted - it had been frozen off 40 yrs before with paralytic polio. Breathing improved circulation. In 6 mo. I certified in the BT process and pain level was about 30% (Sept 2002). What do I know? It took connections to the organs, endocrine, body parts including the brain, meridians, Vivaxis, Wei Qi, circulation, central nervous system, energies (including thought forms from others), Chinese five elements, clocks, family genetics, etc. Also restarted deep sleep. A bit too much to explain here. Water is very important, however if the cells are not hydrating, it's all but useless. So tweaking the hydration be it in specific organs, endocrine, whatever is critical. And a bit of sea salt daily on the tongue. A lot of my systems were beyond functioning appropriately with water, and had to be addressed. THE BODY KNOWS HOW TO HEAL. Are you prepared to do the work? Go natural. The key is to LISTEN TO IT --- in the sequence it wants the healing done, not what your mind/ego/ or person in power (dr. etc.) tells you to do. Listen within or contact someone who knows how to deal with these issues. I used no meds. At a molecular level the body's DNA spins clockwise, phamaseuticals spin counter clockwise. In my experience they add undue stress. I avoided even baby aspirin. Repeating strains, accidents, patterns? From what I've seen, it's in the mind too. Pain is about consciousness. We are multi-dimensional beings with emotional grids, mental grids, and spiritual grids that are impacted or carry distorted information. These need to be addressed also. Einstein said there is no time or distance. BodyTalk can be done one to one, or via distance. It's effective. If you want to know more, contact me.
