Guest guest Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Michael Greenwoods work is awesome. I am a big fan. I arranged for him to come down to talk to our school when I was in Seattle. He told us the story of how he came to find a way to not manage pain but cure it. He is an MD who just started playing around with needles basically. That is kind of an oversimplification, but anyway he witnessed what we learn as 'needle shock.' He had not been taught to immediately take out the needles, etc., so he observed patiently. Clients reported experiencing flash backs to the event which precipitated their chronic pain. Following the needling the pain was gone and didn't come back. I highly reccomend his book " Braving the Void. " Cory Trusty http://chinesetherapeutics.org/catalog/index.php Vendors wanted for March Health & Wellness Faire Tuesday March 28 1-9pm Eastern.
