Guest guest Posted November 17, 2002 Report Share Posted November 17, 2002 I don't know if you have tried BEST ( Bio Energetic Synchronization Technique) It has saved my life when all the doctors wanted was to cut on my back. That was 10 years ago. It is a technique widely used by health care practitioners who practice mind/body healing and who recognize that the body is more than the sum of it's parts.It's a system of health care that balances Body/Mind/Memory and Soul Energy fields. When these energy fields are out of balance,symptoms develop and health deteriorates. Dr Morter teaches this and you can find a practitioner in your aerea on this page. http://morter.com/statedirectory.htm Christel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2002 Report Share Posted November 17, 2002 You might also go to www.emofree.com and download the free manual--Emotional Freedom Technique. Learn the simple technique and give it a try. About a month ago an 80 year old woman, a family friend called. She was in terrible back pain and had been to a pain clinic two days previously and had been given two injections. She lives rather close to me and it was Sunday, I volunteered to go to her house and give her an EFT session. After 10 minutes of EFT, her back pain intensity had gone from a 9.5 to .5. We did some more work on the sudden death of her daughter a few months before. This back pain has not returned. She has had back pain for years although not to the intensity of the day she called. I also know Dr. Morter's technique which Christel recommended and can second her motion:>) Kallie www.4optimallife.com Products and services to enhance your health and life. Water Ionizers, Magnetic Sleep Pads, Accutone CDs, Zappers, Energy Therapies - EFT, ERT. Re: Can anyone help?

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2002 Report Share Posted November 17, 2002 Dear Karl, Have you tried a magnet over the hip area where the pain originates? Always have the north pole facing the body; 20 minutes at a time. This has worked for dozens of people that I know of. 3500 gauss is a good strength. If you can't find one, I have them. Best of Health! Dr. Saul Pressman, DCh, LTOH http://www.plasmafire.com -------------------------------------------------------------------- Reply-To: oxyplus Subject: Can anyone help? Date: Sun, 17 Nov 2002 12:13:41 -0800 I am plagued by sciatic nerve pain in my left upper pelvic area with pain shooting all the way down to the toes at times. The pain seems to have become chronic. 20-some years ago I fell over my dog while running and since then the misery has come and gone and has now come home to stay. Nothing I have tried has been encouraging but I am still convinced that there is an answer to this thing other than someone doing some investigative carving which would more likely than not aggravate the problem. Supposedly my spine is fine, range of motion is fine, everything is " adjusted. " I've had deep massages, shallow massages, heat, adjustments by numerous practitioners, acupuncture, checks for food allergies, using a Chi machine on a regular basis, FIR sauna on a regular basis, detox on an ongoing basis (had a bout with mercury poisoning) I detox around the clock in various and sundry ways (rather serious about it for at least a year). I eat intelligently, take WaterOz, drink distilled water, my immune system seems to be in good shape, my blood pressure and pulse are better than good. I don't eat junkfood, sugar. I take apple cider vinegar. No fried foods and stay away from all know no-nos. I am a vegetarian and try to be an intelligent one. My pH is a steady 6.6-6.8. On the negative side - I don't get enough sleep during the workweek, have a high-stress job (high school teacher) had a serious bout with depression a few years ago, get vicious headaches if I get more than small quantities of calcium (carrot juice, tofu) or eat chili peppers. Some practitioners tell me it's a calcium buildup where the nerve trunk goes through the bone, others think it must be an out-of-adjustment spine, others think it's toxicity of blood and/or tissue. I am bewildered by it all and think it's a deep seated inflammation. Can anyone out there shed some light on this, beyond the multitude of guesses already offered? I would be sooooo grateful and I'm certainly willing to learn and to try. Oh, yes, I'm a tad over 60, but I don't buy into this " it's a normal thing of getting old " mindset.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2002 Report Share Posted November 17, 2002 Frances-jo, I am wondering, if you rub hard along the top of the back of your hipbone, just under the top, does it hurt sharply I am talking about the curve from the coxyx, in an arc up & around where the gluteus medius & maximus attach to the hip. And/or does pushing in & rubbing on the top of your thighbone joint hurt sharply? jim Frances-Jo wrote: >I am plagued by sciatic nerve pain in my left upper pelvic area with >pain shooting all the way down to the toes at times.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2002 Report Share Posted November 18, 2002 Karl, May I suggest this website www.coconut-info.com and articles therein concerning the use of soy and other cold seed oils. These products are anti-thyroid and when the thyroid is disrupted so is respiration and liver function. When thyroid is disrupted or even stress is high estrogen is increased, even in men and progesterone may be something to look into. There is a yahoo group devoted to enlightening men to the use of progesterone and it has excerpts from books/articles in the posts (only 56 so far) which may enlighten. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Progesterone4Prostatehealth When thyroid and other hormones are balanced, there should not be any pain. I have found this to be true for me. See efn.org/~raypeat/ for hormone and diet related articles Your diet may hold part of the key. Being intelligent about your vegetarian diet may also mean continuing education on that regard. Your sleep is also a huge factor. When you do get to bed, be sure to block out all sources of light, including LED clock light. We need to sleep in total darkness for melatonin production. If you get up in the night, use only a flashlight or nightlight. Search at Google: melatonin and night light How is your magnesium? Magnesium needs to be taken in a higher ratio to calcium...if you take a cal/mag supplement. Perhaps only magnesium is needed....as a trial. Do not take with meals as it will decrease stomach acid. To sum it all up: when the thyroid and other hormones are working properly there is no edema to press on tissues ie nerves to cause pain. Ann PS What is your average body temperature? Do you have problems with edema anywhere in your body most noticeable upon waking? Or lower legs/ankles swelling toward the end of the day? > I am plagued by sciatic nerve pain in my left upper pelvic area with > pain shooting all the way down to the toes at times. <snip> > I don't eat junkfood, sugar.
