Re: Intro's revisited - blithe

[Guest guest]

Hmm... that could be. I've been thinking about the progression of

disease in my case, and I find it really interesting that western

medicine doesn't seem to know how to deal with it. In retrospect, it

seems pretty obvious that aggressive therapies such as chemo and

radiation would cause subtle problems later on in life, but western

medicine only knows how to deal with the big problems, such as

watching for heart disease and doing x-rays, etc. It never occurred

to anyone that I may develop problems related to inadequate adrenal

function. But I guess hindsight is 20/20, and oncologists are used to

saving people from certain death, rather than helping to fine-tune

their health.

Anyway... I had an intersting experience at my most recent visit to

the naturopath. He used a therapeutic device called MORA on me. It's

a machine that sends electromagnetic waves into your hands and feet

via gold-plated " electrodes " . It doesn't hurt, and you barely feel it

working. My naturopath said that it would give me more energy and

lift my mood.

Well 2 days later, I was feeling much much better. I was able to get

through a whole day at work, get some work done, do some food

shopping, come home and get dinner going, do some chores, etc.

without being tired, except for 1 hour during the afternoon. I was

able to be awake for a full day, going almost at full steam until 10

pm when I went to sleep, without feeling exhausted at all. I haven't

felt like that in at least 2 years. It felt great. Friday was

similar, but I tried to ease up on my activity level, I didn't want

to burn myself out. Yesterday (Saturday) wasn't so good... I was full

of aches and pains and less energetic, but that may have been PMS.

Today is off to an auspicious start, and I hope that this new upswing

continues.

Anyway, just thought I'd mention this MORA therapy because it seems

to have had positive results so far in my case.

P.S. If anyone here knows a bit about how MORA therapy works, I'd be

really interested in hearing about it. I poked around a bit on the

web, but there doesn't seem to be much technical information out

there about how it works.
