Guest guest Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Hello, Sarala, Of course you will also get to know others in the group. I was so delighted when I found this group, as I thought I was the only one who talked to crystals and interacted with them. I was very happy to find the group, too. I was introduced to the group by a friend from Turkey, and the group moderator is from California in the USA and I live in Washington State, in the USA, so you can see there are members from all over. We can write offline if you like. my email address is dendresen I've been working with crystals for a relatively short time in this life: something like 5-6 years, although once I was attuned to Usui Reiki master in 2001 I did notice my open-ness to crystals increasing substantially. From then and when I realized they were teaching me how to work with them, my work with them has grown. I use them all the time: wearing them, sleeping with them, having them around me at my " day job " , etc., And I run a rock shop on Sundays, which is my bliss. So I guess you could say I'm just overall blissed! Love, Light and Blessings to us all, Diana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Hello Ramesh and thank you for the welcome. Some quick thoughts on healing would be that people who heal aren't as unusual as one would think. My great grandfather was Cherokee and a healer and this skill was passed down to other people in my family. It wasn't until I experienced an intense spiritual awakening that I too could heal myself and others although I don't practice this regularly and have felt lately that I am not in the right frame of mind or lack the energy to do it. That's all I can think of off the top of my head. Good luck with your research. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Hi Accrocheuse1, You said that you don't practice what your great grandfather taught your family on a regular basis because you have lack of energy and don't have the right frame of mind. I have heard that this can be caused from lack of meditation on a regular basis and not properly clearing your mind daily. It only takes about 15 minutes a day to do this which could really help you. I am guilty myself of not properly clearing myself everyday and then feel so bogged down that sometimes I have hardly any energy at all. But when I do practice this, I feel so much better and feel like I can help others so much more. :)Leisel accrocheuse1 <smithks1 wrote: Hello Ramesh and thank you for the welcome.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Hi Leisel, I totally agree with you. I stopped doing sitting meditation and then yoga and I've noticed a lot of negative things happening because of this :-(. I hope to get back into these things soon.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 ---hi klaus so glad you have found out about drug em and forget em attitude now here is some things which because you are in a good position you may help with dead right on the massage therapy. Here are some reported benefits of massage: Research in massage therapy has been ongoing for more than 120 years. Here are some reported benefits of massage: Preliminary results suggested cancer patients had less pain and anxiety after receiving therapeutic massage at the James Cancer Hospital and Research Institute in Columbus, Ohio. Women who had experienced the recent death of a child were less depressed after receiving therapeutic massage, according to preliminary results of a study at the University of South Carolina Medical school students at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey-New Jersey Medical School who were massaged before an exam showed a significant decrease in anxiety and respiratory rates. as well as a significant increase in white blood cells and natural killer cell activity, suggesting a benefit to the immune system Studies funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have found massage beneficial in improving weight gain in HIV-exposed infants and facilitating recovery in patients who underwent abdominal surgery. At the University of Miami School of Medicine's Touch Research Institute, researchers have found that massage is helpful in decreasing blood pressure in people with hypertension, alleviating pain in migraine sufferers and improving alertness and performance in office workers. An increasing number of research studies show massage reduces heart rate, lowers blood pressure, increases blood circulation and lymph flow, relaxes muscles, improves range of motion, and increases endorphins (enhancing medical treatment). Although therapeutic massage does not increase muscle strength, it can stimulate weak, inactive muscles and, thus, partially compensate for the lack of exercise and inactivity resulting from illness or injury. It also can hasten and lead to a more complete recovery from exercise or injury. Research has verified that: Office workers massaged regularly were more alert, performed better and were less stressed than those who weren't massaged. Massage therapy decreased the effects of anxiety, tension, depression, pain, and itching in burn patients. Abdominal surgery patients recovered more quickly after massage. Premature infants who were massaged gained more weight and fared better than those who weren't. Autistic children showed less erratic behaviour after massage therapy. According AMTA, massage helps both physically and mentally. " Often times people are stressed in our culture. Stress-related disorders make up between 80-and-90 percent of the ailments that bring people to family-practice physicians. What they require is someone to listen, someone to touch them, someone to care. That does not exist in modern medicine. One of the complaints heard frequently is that physicians don't touch their patients any more. Touch just isn't there. Years ago massage was a big part of nursing. There was so much care, so much touch, so much goodness conveyed through massage. Now nurses for the most part are as busy as physicians. They're writing charts, dealing with insurance notes, they're doing procedures and often there is no room for massage any more. I believe massage therapy is absolutely key in the healing process not only in the hospital environment but because it relieves stress, it is obviously foundational in the healing process any time and anywhere. " Joan Borysenko - Massage Journal Interview, Fall 1999 Physical Benefits of Therapeutic Massage Massage also provides another therapeutic component largely absent in today¡¦s world: tactile stimulation, or, more simply, touch. In 1986, the Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami published groundbreaking research on the effects of massage on premature babies. The preterm babies who received massage therapy showed 47% greater weight gain and six-day shorter hospital stays than the infants who were not receiving massage. But is this study evidence of what loving touch can do spiritually, or rather what massage can do on a physiological level?

Basically however arthritis refers to inflammation of the joints the most common being osteoarthritis. Less common but far more disabling is rheumatoid arthritis, which is usually a more chronic disease. Usual methods of treatment involve aspirin which acts to suppress inflammation Cortisone that seems to be effective but extended use has shown side effects to the adrenal glands, which impairs the body to withstand stress. There is also a tendency for the symptoms to intensify when the cortisone is withdrawn. From the Edgar cayce perspective As a preventative measure Cayce said that one should have a peanut oil rub or massage once a week over the entire body, the peanut oil being used liberally, he said no one need fear arthritis. Causes Cayce describes the causes, which were limited to seven categories: poor assimilation, poor elimination, impaired circulation, glandular malfunction, karmic and psychological causes previous treatments, spinal sublaxations and injuries. According to cayce there was a pattern with improper eliminations in some people, which began with the production of excess stomach acid, a condition that sometimes came from suppressed anger and other stress related conditions. The excess acid tended to decrease the lymphatic system. Poor assimilation was also a factor, with some foods actually becoming poisonous due to their inability to be utilised properly. Constipation resulted.As a contributing factor circulation was mentioned in 40% of cases. In 8% of cases glandular misfunction was sited as the first cause and in 29% of the readings as a contributing factor. Karma was also mentioned as a cause as was the bearing of resentments, this was considered to be a major factor in the development of the disease. Previous treatments were also mentioned with one man being told that certain immunisation injections had disturbed his circulation resulting in an arthritic condition.Spinal misalignments and injuries were also noted as a first cause, most of the readings mentioned the coccyx or the lower portion of the spine as the source of the problems.Other contributing causes were diet,exercise,and mental attitude. Treatment 1. Foods to avoided were white flour and its products, white bread, pasta etc. fried foods, carbonated drinks, beer and hard liquor, [an occasional glass of red wine was OK] and white potatoes but the skins were OK. 2. Combinations of foods to be avoided were starches and sugar, coffee and tea with milk or cream and citrus fruits with cereals or dairy products. A typical diet placed emphasis on vegetables and fruits whole grains and light proteins.highly advised was a decrease in meats and starches with meat being completely excluded from the diet for a period of time .In severe cases a semi liquid diet was advised to avoid strain on the system. 3. Massage,was indicated in 63% of the readings and this was to be given usually after another treatment such as as Epsom salt baths or after a steam bath or the use of the wet cell device. Specific oils were advised to be used with the massage, which were equal parts of olive oil with peanut oil and tincture of myrrh. Prepared by heating a small amount of olive oil and then adding the myrrh. It was mentioned to use the oils freely and as much as the body could absorb. Other oils were lanolin, mineral oil, olio pine needles, sassafras oil, witch hazel, oil of wintergreen, cedarwood oil, mustard oil, kerosene and tincture of benzoin. Cayce said to heat the oil before use to aid absorbtion. Massage were to be given in a firm but gentle rotary motion not pinching the muscles but drawing the circulation by moving the hands smoothly over the skin. Special attention was to given to the neck and spine and to parts of the body where there was discomfort. The direction given for the massage was from the trunk to the extremities of the body. Frequency of massage varied but the most common was once weekly, once monthly and three times weekly. 4. Atomidine an edgar cayce product which can be got from the usa or in england was also recommended in 42% of cases but due to its high iodine content this was recommended in specific dosages and treatment cycles. Excessive iodine in the system could overstimulate the thyroid and result in harmful effects in the body. Never take atomidine when you are using thyroid medicine or other drugs as the drugs could react with each other and have undesirable effects. The most common dosage was one drop taken daily for five days followed by a five-day rest period then one-drop daily then rest for five days. Then resume the cycle.Daily dosages ranged from one to eight drops daily. It was recommended that atomidine was taken in half glass of water in the morning before eating. Frequently atomidine was coordinated with Epsom salt baths and massage with the baths being taken during the rest period and immediately following the atomidine sequence. 5. Improving the elimination process within the body,used in about 37% of cases the most frequent methods were castor oil packs, enemas, colonics, and eno salts. Body temperature water was to be used for the colonic which was to be followed by a rinse with an antiseptic such as Glyco thymoline one-tablespoon to a quart of water. Warm castor oil packs can be also applied over the abdominal area together with internal doses of olive oil. The packs were made by heating the oil and soaking the oil in woolen flannel- not boiling the oil but as hot as you could stand. The pack was then placed over say the stomach area or liver usualy with a plastic bag over the top to prevent soiling the lot can be strapped into place and then heated or kept warm. Castor oil is also used on any arthritic, rheumatic, or muscular and joint pain as unction. Basically an infra red lamp is placed 12-18 inches from the part to be massaged. Apply the castor oil on the painful area and let the lamp warm it and this will help the oil to penetrate the skin, this done for about 5-10 mins. Then keep rubbing with the fingers and hand until the oil is worked in. Keep putting more oil on and massaging continued for 10-60 mins. Massage was also very helpful, to be given usually after another treatment such as an Epsom salt bath. If the reaction to colonics and enemas was to severe, emphasis was placed on gentler methods such as Epsom salt baths, steam baths and a diet rich in laxative foods. Epsom salt baths were in a range of five pounds of Epsom salts to about 20 galls of water for a modern tub and 8-10 pounds for an old tub. Be in the tub for about 10-12 mins to start with and then work up to 20 mins. Further stimulation to the body could be given with using massage or rubbing the extremities of the body while in the bath. Temp of bath was to be as hot as possible up to the point of pain. Epsom salt packs can be also applied when needed over areas of extreme pain. The salts apparently act by drawing out toxins. you can also immerse any local part of the body in a smaller basin too with people who have arthritic hands or other parts of the body. also you can form a pack ,by dissolving say 1 pound of salts in a small basin or pot and as much water necessary to saturate a towel. apply as hot as possible over the area indicated and keep repeating the applications for 2-3 hrs .where possible use an infra red lamp or other means to keep the pack hot. Where there is crippling of the joints of the hands, pain of arthritis or inflammation of the tendons considerable relief can be found by using an Epsom salt bath and massage. Use a large quantity of the salts about 1 pound in the water though, not just a spoon full. Soak the affected area for about 5 mins and then massage the affected area under water, rotate the joints and soak again for another 5-10 mins. 6. Spinal manipulation such as osteopathy although chiropractic and neropathy were also recommended. Cayce claimed there was no better mechanical therapy as good as spinal manipulation .One could start at the base of the spine and sometimes at the top- cayce gave both methods, and you could also work from the outer portions of the body inwards. 7. Mental attitude was essential to healing; it had to be conducive to the healing. Positive thinking opened the body to the source of all healing- that which is spiritual and unitive in nature. Cayce said that only the self stood in the way of healing. 8. Persistence and consistency of the treatments was highly desirable. 9. Fume baths using a cabinet steam bath were also recommended. In 19% of readings, the baths were to relax the body and stimulate the perspiratory system so it could throw off toxins and waste through the skin. Various substances were to be added to the baths such as witch hazel, which was most frequent. Atomidine, pine oil, Epsom salts and a mixture of witch hazel and iodine, pine and wintergreen oil, or pine oil and tincture of benzoin. To avoid strain an ice bag or cold cloth could be placed on the head. In almost all cases massage was recommended after the sweat. 10. Electrotherapy was also mentioned, using the edgar cayce device known as the wet cell in the most severe cases. The impedance device was also used for 20 min in cycles of four at a time; meditation and devotional thoughts were advised during the treatment. The violet ray was used in conjunction with other treatments such as internal doses of chloride of gold and bromide of soda. These were to be taken just before the violet ray treatment and the ultraviolet light applied over the spine and lower limbs treatment time varied from 1.5 ¡V 30 min and daily ¡V once every 2 weeks. 11. Internal doses of gold and soda ¡V minute amounts of chloride of gold and bicarb of soda in half a glass of water. Although not specifically recommended by cayce spiritual healing has the capacity to be very beneficial in all illnesses- see other pages on this fascinating subject. From the Reilly health book which is essential reading to all those who are interested in getting and keeping well are the directions for the Epsom salt bath. Relief has been obtained to joints, pain of arthritis, of inflammation of the tendons by using Epsom salts and massage. A seamstress was sent to Reilly, using a Epsom salt hand bath and massage for two weeks she was able to close her hand something she had not been able to do two weeks before. The same treatment was applied with many musicians. Make a hot Epsom salt solution by adding one pound of salts to a basin or bowl. Soak the hand for about 5 mins and then massage the hand with the other hand under water, really work the fingers rotating the joints then soak again for another 5-10 mins. After about 20 mins of soaking take the hands out and massage with peanut oil all the way up the arms, the same procedure can be used with the feet. Epsom salt baths were also advised with amounts varying between 5-20 lbs of salts to the bath tub starting at 101degress and working up to 106-108, staying in the tub for 10-12 mins to start and then gradually increase to 20 mins. An ice bag over certain areas with help you bear the heat. This he found particularly good therapy for stiff joints muscular pain arthritis and rheumatism for increasing the metabolism and the work of the heart and relieving pain. Caution was needed with cardiovascular and high blood pressure cases. 11.One of the most important principles outlined by cayce and others where people are suffering from any condition is to do everything they can to help others in whatever capacity they can. Cayce frequently mentioned that this would bring faster results. This is a great ingredient in helping all people to transmute their own karma. See other pages on this particularly important treatment. 12 Using Egyptian oil,- an edgar cayce product One lady reported pains and growths are gone and arthritis did not come to her this year. Another reports that her knees were so swollen but after using the oil swelling went down, she uses the oil 2-3 times a week. This other lady reports that soaking in Epsom salts then applying the oil gave her the best results. Pain seems to ease immediately and use of the effected parts returns far more rapidly than ever before. The oil had also relieved paralysis, which some poor man had on his left side. Another lady in her 80s reports says the oil is the only thing, which keeps her arthritic knees. There is a lot more to the research covering arthritis including aspects of diet,glands,etc Rheumatoid Arthritis This is a chronic inflammatory condition; it may apparently begin at any time, the usual onset is between 20-40. The symptoms are joint swelling stiffness, warmth tenderness and pain; this can be very debilitating. Cayce gave 19 readings for eleven people with this condition with an age range of 22-72 yrs old. Causes 1. Glandular incordination mentioned in 7 cases and was a major factor .It was the lack of proper hormonal secretions which contributed to problems with the circulation, the blood and calcium levels and the proper absorption of minerals from food. 2. Improper eliminations which would lead to a build up of toxins within the body was sited in 6 cases 3. In four cases spinal misalignment especially in the lower spine which could interfere with the proper nerve impulses action. 4. Poor assimilations were mentioned as a contributing factor in three cases. Treatment 1.Ten people received dietary advice with the emphasis on alkaline reacting foods ¡V raw vegetables such as carrots, cabbage, watercress, celery and lettuce. Served in any combination for one meal a day. Leafy veg was recommended over the pod variety. Strongly advised were food sources, which contained specific minerals such as magnesium, silicon, sulphur and iodine. Avoid of red meats, fried foods, and starches. 2.Nine people were recommended massage with a combination of olive oil and peanut oil with the limbs joints and extremities receiving special attention. 3. Electrotherapy was mentioned in 7 cases where there was evidence of nerve deterioration, the wet cell was to be used to combat this.the violet ray and the radial appliance were also mentioned. 4, Hydrotherapy was mentioned in 5 cases and took the form of Epsom salt baths this was to relax the body and relieve pain. Four people were given instructions for internal doses of atomidine to improve glandular coordination. 5.Gold chloride was mentioned in 4 cases once by itself and with bromide or bicarbonate of soda. This was to help the nervous system. 6.To relieve pain in the joints cayce advised packs of Epsom salts and in two cases castor oil pack and one of glycothymoline. 7.Sedatives were mentioned in three cases in the form of aspirin, cobra venom [to be administered by a doctor versed in this field] and a capsule consisting of eucalyptus, rectified oil of turpentine and benzosal. 8.Kaldak tonic and stimulants for eliminations were also mentioned. 9.Adjustments to the entire spinal column were suggested in four cases. Although not specifically recommended by cayce spiritual/reiki healing has the capacity to be very beneficial in all illnesses- see other pages on this fascinating subject. 12 Spiritual healing, Reiki, find a good healer - but someone you feel an attunement with at a soul level otherwise you can have negative results making your situation worse. We are know witnessing one of the great turnings in our century where old healing practices are re-emerging such as Reiki healing, Colour healing, Seichim, Spiritual healing, Osteopathy, Massage and many others. Some of these are thousands of years old, Spiritual healing is one of those. It is exactly the same kind of energy used by Jesus in so many of his healings. Put simply Spiritual Healing, Reiki is the transference of certain energies through a channel which could be a person or an animal or even the planet, the wavelengths of this healing energy are well outside the limits of most scientific equipment but a lot of people can feel this energy . The energy in my experience has been very uplifting and beautiful which can touch and vastly influence parts of us such as the spirit or soul or our mental selves and our physical selves. It can bring a steadiness and balance and sense of well-being second to none .Its limits as to its use are in the realms of the infinite. A very simplistic analogy would be to liken it to a massive energy reservoir which can be tapped into by people and animals which act as the conduits of this energy and like wires of electricity some of which are bigger than others and so therefore big wires can transmit more energy than smaller wires. Bearing this point in mind the reader can soon appreciate that going to one healer can be vastly different than going to another as it is with so many things whether it be dentists, doctors, policeman or what have you. Spiritual Healing is natural healing energy, which is present in this universe. Spiritual healers work in many different ways to some it is the laying on of hands onto a person or animal, to others it can be sent through the power of thought. To be even in the presence of some healers can have a profound and beneficial effect on people and one wishes that there were more people giving off just as beautiful vibrations as these people were this world would truly transform it One of the most important principles outlined by cayce and others where people are suffering from any condition is to do everything they can to help others in whatever capacity they can. Cayce frequently mentioned that this would bring faster results. This is a great ingredient in helping all people to transmute their own karma. See other pages on this particularly important treatment. Some feedback My healing was major. I have been free of flare-ups for three years at this writing. Because of this level of healing, I know I would not change a thing about what I did! By adhering to Cayce's instructions as closely as possible, I hit on an effective combination of Atomidine, Epsom Salts, and Massage Oils. Though not easy, I consider the problems I encountered to be very minor compared with the benefits Castor Oil Packs & Ice as Needed Daily use of Castor Oil Packs has been shown to dissolve arthritic spurs, but I used them to treat local inflammation. Before consulting with Dr. McGarey, I kept serious inflammation flare-ups under control the same way I had been doing for ten years, with Castor Oil Packs. I also applied ice, sometimes alternating the two with severe flare-ups. Ice alone is sufficient for minor flare-ups. Only once did Cayce recommend Castor Oil Packs for treating arthritis, but they had been extremely helpful, so I continued with them. The worst flare-up I experienced as part of my recovery involved my right hip, much of my pelvic area and my lower back. The pain was excruciating with even the slightest movement, so I only got out of bed to crawl to the bathroom. I was unable to walk for four days. My doctor would very likely have treated me with cortisone shots if I had called him. Cayce says clearly that anti-inflammatory medications are not helpful, and in fact make things worse. I felt cortisone shots would prevent the flare-up from carrying out its corrective purpose. I was right. Day and night for a week, I alternated castor oil packs with ice, noting gradual improvement. The hip not only completely healed, it ceased to trouble me thereafter. The Edgar Cayce arthritis healing methods for me were a resounding success. After only 6 weeks, I noticed a greatly reduced need for toxic anti-inflammatory drugs, and soon eliminated them altogether. Within a few weeks of my conversation with Dr. McGarey, all major symptoms suddenly subsided. The general pain in my body and joints was virtually gone, as were the flare-ups and swelling. I felt deep release from pain and the aggressiveness of the illness, as if the arthritis had been stopped and could not return unless I went back to old habits. Edgar Cayce's remedies gave my body a life and vigor it had not known in more than a decade! I was continuing to heal when I foolishly allowed parts of the program to lapse. Had I followed the Cayce instruction of applying the full program persistently and consistently for a period of time well beyond the cessation of symptoms, I would today be in remission or completely cured. Nevertheless, three years later I remain in a much improved state of health, and completely free of the acute inflammation flare-ups by which I was literally crippled prior to the program. I fully credit Edgar Cayce's miraculous therapies for this dramatic and sustained improvement. Until I applied them seriously, I deteriorated. After I applied them, I improved rapidly. Edgar Cayce's genius gave me back my life. Fuller details can be found in Reba Ann karps book encyclopedia of healing ISBN 0446 30981-8 which gives lots of treatments on all manor of diseases.

One person had rheumatoid arthritis, and six had osteoarthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is characterized by inflammatory changes in the synovial membranes of the joints and the areas around the joints and by atrophy and rarification of the bones. In osteoarthritis there is generally no inflammation and no spreading or migratory type of joint involvement. Rather than a loss of calcium, there is a calcium build- up. The project explicitly did not require participants to change their current therapies or medications. The principal therapies included dietary changes, massage, Atomidine (an iodine supplement), and Epsom salts baths. The participants then returned home to continue these therapies for six months, submitting daily logs of compliance with the protocol. Arthritis symptoms were evaluated at the beginning of the program and after six months. Four of the seven people returned for the six-month follow-up in May 1999. One was unable to attend the April session, and returned in November. Another responded to a questionnaire by mail, and one person dropped out of the study. Of the six participants who submitted information, three had excellent compliance with the protocol. One felt ¡§much improved,¡¨ and two felt ¡§improved.¡¨ Other interesting feedback According to Reba Ann karps book DR Charles Lucas chief of endocrinology and metabolism at Harper grace hospitals Detroit has reported that a diet low in animal fats will ease rheumatoid arthritis pain.with some of his patients reporting that that pain and stiffness nearly disappeared and swelling in joints reduced remarkably. Further substantiating cayce is a study done by the Department of medicine at Wayne State University Detroit Michigan in that fat free diets have been found to produce complete remissions in six patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Bee venom was mentioned by cayce and in the UK experiments have isolated an anti-inflammatory agent within the venom. In the US it has also been found that injecting bee venom into the painful joints activates natural cortisone production in the bones thus relieving the pain of arthritis. Treatment of Arthritis with Rife machine About Royal Raymond Rife Royal Raymond Rife was an inventor and genius who won scientist of the year awards twice. He started looking for a cancer cure in 1920. By 1934 he cured 16 out of 16 (100% success) cancer patients in his clinic, every one within 3 months. What he invented first was a microscope that used prisms and various light types other than white and was so powerful he could watch viruses alive and experiment on them without destroying them in the process. In Australia, a serious placebo (sometimes called double blind) study was made to demonstrate the effectiveness of using audio frequency therapy in the treatment of arthritis using a prototype of the PET Rife-Crane unit. Behind this study is, amongst others, Geoff Baker (B.App. Sci) who spent years of his life and millions of dollars studying and perfecting his PET device. In order to achieve medical approval for the sale of the PET unit in Australia, this Placebo study was made under scientifically controlled circumstances. The Study results suggest that „h Audio Frequency Therapy is highly effective in the treatment of Osteo and Rheumatoid Arthritis. After 36 three-hour treatment sessions of Audio Frequency Therapy, the net mean overall improvement in the arthritic condition of treated volunteers (irrespective of type of arthritis suffered) was approximately 25 percent „h Continued reduction of pain levels under the extended treatment sessions administered to Group C (72 three hour treatment sessions, fig 4) suggest that the benefits of Audio Frequency Therapy are cumulative and in proportion to the number of treatment sessions a patient undergoes. „h Extrapolation of the mean improvement rate of all treated volunteers in considering the " worst case " situation suggests that it may be possible to completely eliminate many Arthritis signs and symptoms in any sufferer of Osteo or Rheumatoid Arthritis in less than twelve months with an AFTU treatment program of three, three hour sessions per week. „h Frequency Therapy may relieve all arthritis symptoms permanently. This may be possible if the underlying causative factors are also dealt with and the patient is given time to heal. A cleansing dietary regimen would be considered essential in all cases. „h Audio Frequency Therapy may relieve pain, swelling and inflammation in all arthritis affected areas, but will leave pain in joints which have suffered major degeneration I.e. moderate to complete breakdown of articular cartilage leaving exposed bone. „h No significant adverse side effects may be expected within the short term i.e. less than 12 months (based on clinical experience) if the above treatment protocol is adhered to and the Audio Frequency Therapy Unit operation manual closely followed. The study was initiated by a private company, BWBGELTECH PTY LTD seeking assistance from an arthritis support organisation, interested doctors, and a commercial laboratory. Placebo study conditions were strictly adhered to, with no volunteer being aware of whether he or she was receiving treatment. Three treatments per week of three hours duration were administered using thirty-four Audio Frequency Therapy Units. These pocket sized computerised devices allowed carefully selected menus of frequency programs to be applied to each chosen volunteer. All participants were regularly monitored by self-evaluation of pain on visual analogue scales, which complied with a standard hospital protocol for monitoring pain in arthritis patients. Also pre and post study HLB testing was provided by Australian Biologics Testing Services (Sydney) for seven randomly selected volunteers from the treated and placebo groups. Similarly, independent post-study appraisal of each volunteer's condition by their referring General Practitioner was requested. On completion of the study, the mean value of percentage reduction in overall pain (of the treated group was 34 percent compared with 13 percent reduction in the untreated group (The mean 13 percent reduction of pain in the untreated volunteers was generally attributable to the emotional benefits received by being involved in the study. This improvement was not evidenced in the blood test results. Long term side effects are unknown but may be similar in nature to TENS therapy. Continuous treatment with Audio Frequency Therapy Units over twelve months is not recommended. After this study was complete, Geoff Baker formed Electromed to build and market a commercial version of the Audio Frequency Therapy unit described here. The commercial version is called PET and it is described on the electromed web site There is a wealth of testimonies on the rife forum website which testify to the effectiveness of this treatment http://www.rife.de/ andmy web site should you wish to know more http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/seventhmoon/orion/ for now phil In , " Klaus " <klausybear wrote: > > New guy from central ohio here.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Hello " Ohio " Have you done much research on the different types of massage that are out there? That would be a great start and then once you have determined what it is you would like to offer your clientele, then search out the school that will offer you the best possible education in that method of application. Most schools have open houses for you to go in, watch, partake, etc. so you can get a " feel " for the atmosphere ... this too is extremely important whenever involving yourself in the Healing Arts (my opinion). I did much research and " feeling " around before finally deciding on any of the modalities and schools I attended. The vibe given off can make or break your interest and enjoyment. Good Luck. Let us know how things go. WELCOME TO THE GROUP ALSO! Peace & Light, Kathleen www.ahealingmind.com , " Klaus " <klausybear wrote: > > New guy from central ohio here.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Hi all, It's good to see so many new people join us lately. I do have things to say about some of the post topics and questions. I've taken Elavil and Zoloft and isn't Lorazapam the same as Xanax, Kel. I've been there and done that too. Do your deep breathing and meditation. But especially breathing when you panic. We've had a rather tragic death in our family (or close enough). My fiance's sister's brother-in-law died in a very tragic car accident today and his young son is clinging to life on a prayer. I will be back with all of you in a day or too, when things settle down a bit. Welcome to all our new members.Blessings, Renee"Kelly W." <kellykebby wrote: I'm ok thank you. I am going to visit my friend Patti in Columbus Ohio this weekend. She is in her 60s and a writer, a retired social worker. She contracted polio in the 50s at the age of 12 and is a quadriplegic woman. She can only move two pinky fingers and her head. I love her so much. There is nobody like her on earth. I'm looking forward to spring. I forget where everyone lives except Miss Renee. I live in NW Pa. and the snow coats the ground white forwhat seems to be six months. It's awful. It may be one of the reasons my panic attacks have come back. I'm glad Sherry joined because that allows me to feel more comfortable telling people I do take zoloft. It is my wish to get off of it. And currently the only way I can think to do that is with diet, exercise, meditation... and healing my sick spirit. A psychiatrist once told me that I have a sick spirit, and I should paint. I am an artist. This is how I got through my troubled childhood - by drawing and writing poetry. I don't like to use it like a crutch, but I feel like me when I do those things.Anyway, hope everyone has a good day. Wish me luck this weekend. I am scared to go to a hotel while I'm having panic attacks at night. I do have Lorazepam but haven't taken it yet. Take care, Kelhypnoc <hypnoc wrote: Hi Sherry and to the new members, wanted to welcome you too, and sorry to hear about your brother, you will have a great support here, we all are friends. I love this nest Thanks to Kel and the rest. By the way how are you kel?? Doreen belsamm <belsamm wrote: Hi kelly and thanks for your welcome to the group. Yes it is Elavil and he was on huge dosages prescribed by the doctor. A little bit of his history, He would have been 38 next month, has had a really troubled life in general. He was my youngest brother and 8 years yonger than me. My mother started searching for help for him when he was 5. He was born in 1968. At that time she was told that the biggest problem she had was that she was 35 when she had him and that meant she was too old to handle an active child. Things went on in his life that I wont bore you with at this point that ended up with him being in jail several times for drug related issues. When he got out this last time about 2.5 yeras ago he was under medical care having been diagnosed with agoraphobia, severe anxiety disorder, paranoid schizophrenia and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. He was fairly well regulated and while very stressed about being outside he was determined to get better and do what he needed to do to function. At that time he was able to stay with our grandfather who was 90 and in failing health with Lou Gerighs Disease, to care for him. After he had to be placed in a nursing home my brother moved in with my parents and was helping our dad with part of his business that didnt involve bieng around people so much. He was able to help me some in our other retail business and things were really looking up. During this time his medical doctor and his psychiatrist kept changing his medications around and changing dosages and over the last 4 months or so we saw him slipping dramatically. My mother had been to the doctor with him and told them of the symptoms he was having. They kept either just blaming it on the PTSD or saying hsis meds werent strong enough and upping dosages. By the end he was on Seroquel, Xyprexa, Elivil, Klonopin, Clonadine, and with drs permission benadryl for allergy symptoms he was having and the last week of his life they added in Depakote. No they did not take him OFF of anything or reduce the other dosages. I dont exactally remember dosages of the others but the Elivil he was on 300 mg a day dosage, what I Know NOW is a toxic dosage and was not having any blood level monitoring of any of his meds more often than every 3-4 months if he rememberd to suggest they should do it. So as to the question was it suicide? That is what is listed on his death certificate because from the resaearch I Have done that is the general conclusion in this but it was not. He and my mom had been to the doctor just that week to discribe his symptoms and the doc told him to take more. Now, as to the rest of the reason I chose this group to join. My other brother and I have both been taking elvil as well, in my case for a very stressful life that isnt going to change any time soon. My dosage however has been 25 mg once a day to sleep. After some of the things I have learned in the last week and a half.. I am no longer taking it. Went off cold turkey which probably wasnt the best idea but I havent had any in the last week so regardless of the way I feel at the moment.. dont want to take any more just to feel better if that makes any sense. So support in my endevor to find natural ways of dealing with life and health is what I am here for. Hope you all can help.Hope this wasnt too long or boring.
