The Wastebasket Diagnosis

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

Fibromyalgia!

 

Fibromyalgia is a relatively newish term, eventually settled on by Western medical types as a label for some nasty symptoms that do not seem to be driven by any biochemical cause—-meaning they who look can not find clumps of little ‘abnormal’ bugs under a microscope to blame it on.

This dis-ease mostly hounds women but was not taken very seriously until the mid to late Seventies.

The word itself is a three-pronged hodgepodge: Fibro – meaning fibrous tissue, my – meaning muscle, and algia – meaning pain.

Symptoms are too numerous to mention. There’s everything from difficulty taking it in (as in swallowing) to difficulty letting it go (as in bowel and bladder abnormalities).

Basically, if you have been saddled with a ‘fibromyalgia’ diagnosis, you hurt all over all the time—-but especially in the morning. You are beset with constant fatigue and you may have difficulty thinking clearly. There are reports that some become ‘hysterical’ at times.  I certainly can’t imagine why anyone in constant pain would get hysterical. (Sarcasm, if you can’t smell it.)

There’s not much hope for fibromyalgia sufferers in the medical department.  Knowledge is severely hampered by conventional thinking/nonthinking. Doctors, themselves, admit they understand so little about the reasons for chronic pain in general, but this doesn’t mean they aren’t willing to provide sufferers with access to various colors of capsules, caplets and pills—-all complements of pharmaceutical industry research.  Anytime pain is involved, the drug companies are right there for us and pleased to be of assistance. (Smell it?)

Some physicians still label the manifestation of all-over muscle pain as a psychosomatic or psychiatric disorder, so don’t look for any help there, unless you want to further complicate your existence with antipsychotics and antidepressants.

Let’s not forget that it wasn’t very long ago that some experts prescribed ‘hysterectomies’ as a treatment for hysterical women with ‘imaginary’ pain or emotional issues. I don’t think they advocated anything similar for men in the same condition. Readers can correct me, though, if I’m wrong.

One of the pet medical theories these days, is the combo cause or the auto-immune deficiency category: Any combination of stress, anxiety, emotional/mental/physical traumas, coupled with poor sleep habits and general physical weakness, can supposedly trigger more pain in those thought to have an inherent sensitivity to pain. Very few among us don’t have an inherent sensitivity to pain, I would imagine. Why else would there be a word for ‘pain’ in every language?

The most recent 21st Century diagnosis, however, calls this syndrome, with its myriad of painful symptoms, a malfunctioning Central Nervous System (CNS).

At least some medical researchers have jumped the biochemical track, though they have no real means of dealing with a malfunctioning CNS that doesn’t cause side effects to the CNS. Ironic, isn’t it?

Go for a nice leisurely 5 mile run, some experts will advise. Enjoy the fleeting yet potent after-effects of endorphins. These strong brain chemicals will take your mind off the pain for awhile, and you can always exercise again to restock your brain receptors.

Hey, I know! Take some steroids and beef up your exercise potential. You have only to ask and Doctors will prescribe prednisone. Never mind what steroids do to your Central Nervous System.

At least exercise activates the lymphatic function, which in turn lowers the effects of pathogens and dead skin cells, but exercise can also overtire you and present more challenges to the basic body systems, not to mention your kidney chi.

Another thing you can try for solace is a‘support group’, mainly for those who are also suffering—-a veritable pain club. It’s an opportunity for people to learn and talk about their pain, hear about other people’s pain, and pool their hope for a cure. Sounds pretty dismal and I don’t think misery really loves miserable company.

How can any real relief be found for such a misunderstood pain? How can ‘cures’ be found for the Central Nervous System when the only cures that researchers even look for are biochemical in nature?

After all, changing the body’s chemistry is a pretty simplistic way to deal with a malfunctioning CNS, but that’s the theme these days. No matter what type of physical, mental or spiritual pain, blame it on the chemical makeup of the body and you’re approach is unquestionably sacred.

Fortunately, there are alternatives—–just not any alternatives that are commonly accepted or commonly known.

So the question you have to ask yourself is this… can an intuitive non-conventional approach to dealing with chronic pain work? Well, the conventional approach doesn’t.

That you already know.

Energy Flows Where Attention Goes….

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

Physical pain generally has its roots in stagnation. Let’s just define stagnation as non-flow or toxic back up, much like the environmentally challenged pond on the left.

When the body’s normal fluid-flow slows down or stops, toxic sludge begins to pool, often resulting in blockage and overworked body systems. This blockage can lead to congestion, inflammation, infection and infestation.  Pain most always follows.

To make matters worse, the circulatory, energetic, and lymph systems of the body just can’t  meet the increased demands to carry away and dispose of all the waste. The lymph system in particular gets challenged.

Some people think that the consumption of the correct nutrients or antibiotics is the most important step at this point.

Surprise! Surprise! Food nutrients and meds are not as important as water and the three basic elements:  oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen. You can live without food for quite some time, believe it or not. 

What are the consequences, on the other hand, if you don’t have enough oxygen and water? Cells begin to degenerate and die—that’s what. These dead cells cause blockages, and the blockages present the perfect medium for infections and infestations, which in turn cause pain.

This does not mean you need to drink mass quantities of water on an hourly basis. Your body can extract water from anything you eat or drink that contains it.

Only the water bottling companies profit from over consumption of water, certainly not your overworked kidneys. Overworked kidneys challenge the energy systems in general, and low energy is never conducive to optimal body function. ( Oh my god, I said ‘never’.)

When it comes down to it, though, it is infections and/or infestations that cause physical pain. Remove these and there will be no painful sensations.

How do you remove these? There are various roads to take. A good place to start is to strengthen the Lymph. When the Lymphatic System is working as it should, there are no infections or infestations. 

The Lymph System consists of 5 parts: nodes, fluid, channels, ducts and center. The lymph center processes infections and infestations through the liver and kidneys. From there, they go to large intestine and urinary/bladder to be flushed out of the body. Once that happens, any pain will be markedly reduced, or it will even subside altogether.

To minimize and eliminate pain, you should also remove the infections and infestations from the pain sites. Detoxify the sites from all accumulations of dead cells and cellular wastes. Insure this will happen by strengthening the lymphatic system to and from the site.

Ensuring that the energetic system is maintaining all the body processes in working order will reduce the occurrence of pain. When energy is low, there is no cushion of energy between body structures.  Even the body cavities are under attack.

After the energetic system is strengthened, you can pinpoint the non physical cause of the pain, a la Yuen Mastery System style. Using your human intuition, separate from logic, and unfazed by positive and/or negative emotions, you can pinpoint the exact cause. The separation process is a simple two second correction that requires a bit of new information is all.

You can learn to make your intuition function separately from your logical mind and independently from your emotions by consulting a Yuen practitioner, or by joining Dr. Kam Yuen’s monthly teleseminar club. The main reason Dr. Yuen started his club was to get the information out to as many people as possible. if I didn’t think this was a good idea, I wouldn’t tell you about it.

In any case, after pinpointing the exact cause, you strengthen yourself to this cause by thinking of your spinal cord, brain and mind.

How?  Just put your attention there.  Energy flows where attention goes.

Moses Suffered From Headaches

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

Pains in the head, are broken down by medical experts into various categories with their accompanying definitions, as if the mere act of defining and categorizing  them can resolve the pain.

Anyone who suffers from headaches, though, will tell you that having a name for his or her headache does not lessen the pain.   It takes getting to the true cause in the mind body spirit to accomplish that feat.

That is how the Yuen Method works, on the mind body spirit, and it stands on its results.

As far as categories go,  modern medicine finds more all the time:  There are cluster headaches, migraines, tension headaches, hormone headaches, sinus headaches, concentration disorder headaches, too much sun headaches, bipolar headaches and so on.   Traditional medical explanations include stress, lack of sleep, overeating, excessive drinking, too much noise, prescription drug side effects and allergens.

Medically, it has also been noted that susceptibility to migraines tends to run in families, which prompts many ‘experts’ to claim that genetics are involved.  Woe to those who can’t escape their genetic programming!

Let me offer a better approach to the resolution of pain in the head.  I have taken it directly from Dr. Kam Yuen’s book Yuen Energetics.

Pain in the head, Dr. Yuen explains, can be the result of previous injuries and traumas or poison/toxicity. Dr. Yuen’s method treats cluster headaches by testing for multiples of past traumas to the head, face and neck.  He also resolves the possible triggering effects caused by events, sights sounds or smells that set off the painful reactions in the head.

Sometimes it is the triggers that bring up past phobias and fears, as well as other unpleasant memories and/or experiences that occurred at certain times of the year, month or season.  When Dr. Yuen needs to be specific to resolve pain, there is no one who can pinpoint the exact effect like he can.  Period.  His expertise at getting to the root of headache pain is renowned.

When headaches are accompanied by nausea, dizziness and vomiting, for example, Dr. Yuen often finds weakening effects in the spinal cord that might be affecting the circulatory factors (arteries and venous blood flow, lymphatic drainage and energy flows).  For dizziness, he tests for weaknesses in the hyoid bone, cerebellum and the ears, especially in relation to the Central Nervous System.

For nausea and vomiting Dr. Yuen often digestive weaknesses and its relationship to the respiratory, reproductive and Central nervous systems

Pinpointing these true causes of headaches and energetically clearing them takes only seconds, and yet it brings the much longed for relief and resolution that conventional diagnosis and treatment cannot touch.

Natural Pain Relief for Osteoarthritis: Letting Go

Friday, July 17th, 2009

Relief protocol for treating any painful life condition, such as arthritis, should be based on real results and not the drug companies’ results, folks.  I’m talking about the kind of results that make a difference in your life.

Does anyone know something that works for the pain of this potentially crippling state of dis-ease called arthritis?

(I do I do!)

I found a method that not only works for pain, it works instantly and is lasting.  First, though, it helps to get rid of the conventional approach to pain, along with its conventional mindset.  But that shouldn’t be too hard—especially since the conventional approaches don’t work.  Right?  We can let go of anything that doesn’t work, no problem.

Wrrrong!  That’s the sound of the buzzer you’re hearing. ‘Letting go’ is hard for everybody, no matter what it is.  As human beings, we don’t want to let go of everything.  But not wanting to let go of everything keeps us holding on to something.  Sad to say, that something happens to be the stuff we’d actually be better off letting go of—such as conventional mindsets that cause pain and the spiritual experiences that drive us towards more pain.

OK Ok, so how do we convince ourselves to let go of everything?

How about meditating or chanting ourselves into a non attached state of being or bliss?  Wrrong!  How about letting the high of passion override the pain?  Wrrrrong!  How about loving our pain, loving our suffering, loving our tormentors, our god, our plight in life?  Wrrong! Wrrrrong! Wrrrong! Wrrrooooooooong!!!

Letting go of everything is so much simpler than any of that conventional stuff. I even know someone who teaches the method.  He taught me, plus, he has successfully resolved the pain of hundreds of thousands of folks suffering from any kind of mind body spirit pain, including the pain that gets you saddled with a life sentence of osteoarthritis.

Before people think I’m a pushover bliss bunny type, let me say this.  I am a critical human being, more so than I’d like; convincing me of anything is not an easy task.  I do not even believe my own eyes….I have to experience the same results more than once.  Miracles don’t convince me of anything.  Results have to be consistent.

And now we’re back to results—real results.  With that in mind, here they come: I’ve watched people who could only hobble, walk and climb stairs, people who couldn’t lift their arms above their heads, do jumping-jacks, people who could no longer play the guitar strum away… and so on.

Their pain and limited mobility was more the fault of buying into the misinformation, than it was the result of anything else.  How do I know this?  Because anytime we get to a true causes of pain, it goes away, till there’s none left.  And what keeps us from getting to the true cause?  —Our limited mindsets and our continued commitments to what hasn’t work.

Here is the conventional way of looking at osteoarthritis that most people accept without batting an eye:  Wear and tear on the joint is the reason we have been given for this ‘degenerative joint disease’.  Sometimes they blame it on your mama or your daddy (tell you the degeneration is genetic) and a few people like to claim it’s all in what you eat.  A conventional diagnosis is generally accompanied by scientific data straight out of the Fifties, called X-Rays, along with the information that if you live past fifty, you’re gonna get it.  (Better get ready ’cause here it comes!)

And yet, why do some people become crippled and not others?  Is it really genetic?  Is it really because there’s not enough high quality oils in your diet…. Or because you eat too many acidic foods….Or you drink too much coffee…Or you broke your foot when you were a kid?

What if they’re all wrong?

Back to the accepted hypothesis: Conventional diagnosis says that wear and tear is caused by micro-traumas to the smooth lining of the joint or cartilage.  Repeated rubbings and knocks cause them to flake and crack. As the cartilage degenerates, the underlying bone can become thicker and distorted. Movement can become painful and restricted, which can lead to limited use of the muscle associated with that joint.  The underlying muscle may gradually atrophy resulting in even more limited movement.

Trumpet Blast, Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  We need to get that scenario out of our heads immediately.

Now let’s look at the condition called osteoarthritis from three perspectives–physical, mental and spiritual. Physically it’s the result of  insufficient waste product removal which in turn dissolves the joint.  The waste products and dead material, such as skin cells, make a good home for parasitic bacteria, fungi, yeasts and viruses, that destroy the joint even further.

Drum Roll……………………………………………!

For the physical level we want to use corrections that reverse this condition even down to a cellular level:  we correct for stiffness and rigidity, we correct to reduce and eliminate stagnation, blockages , congestion, inflammation, calcification and mineralization in the cells.

Now we address the mental and emotional level.  Thinking and emotions play a big roll in dis-ease and pain.  That’s why they too need addressing.  So we look at a variety of emotions and mental states or whatever tests weak:  anxiety, fear, tension over-guarding oneself from life experiences, over internalizing, overreacting and so on.

Last, but not least, we correct the cause-and effect spiritual experiences.  And Voila!

There’s nothing like the three component approach.  It works!  Works on pain every single time!  Because,  it takes into consideration the whole picture of the body mind spirit.   Leave out one of the components. and the results won’t be as effective or lasting. Period.

I only know one method that addresses the body mind spirit and assumes nothing.  Dr. Kam Yuen developed it in response to the pain he encountered in his travels.  He teaches you how to do it, too.

If you connect with Dr. Yuen, you can experience pain relief for yourself.  His results are guaranteed!
