Severe chronic pain and other diseases can be helped and even cured–often with just one treatment–by treating the cause (without drugs, x – rays, injections, acupuncture, manipulation, or surgery).  This may be a breakthrough in the treatment of pain and other diseases and will define what pain is, explain how the body heals pain, describe a new procedure for treatment pain, and then verify the method with case studies from more than 13,000 treatments.

WHAT IS PAIN?

Doctors have been trying for more than 200 years to find out what causes pain without ever learning what pain is. If we don’t know what pain is, all we can do is suppress symptoms and hope the body heals itself.  We give medications that only mask the pain, suppress vital functions, or cause gastrointestinal bleeding. If we can’t find anything wrong, we imply that the pain is in the patient’s head or tell them they will have to learn to live with the pain. Others are sent to surgery or endless therapy that costs astronomical sums. After all this, the patient may suffer worse pain than before we started.

Everyone knows that injury causes pain, but what is the cause of pain when there has been no injury? Pain may continue long after an injury takes place. Why does it still hurt?  What exactly is pain? How does the body heal pain? Knowing that every cell is a tiny chemical/electric generator connected electrically to other cells, is necessary to answer these questions.

We are aware of the sensation of touch because cells are pushed closer together. This decreases the electrical resistance between cells. Decreasing the electrical resistance increases the flow of electricity to the brain which tells us we have been touched.  When something hits us, it sends a quick burst of electricity to the brain. If pain continues after the blow, it is because tissue has been damaged and electrical connections between cells have been broken. The brain senses the injury because of a signal from the damaged tissue to the brain. The pain signal, however, is not the pain. The pain is the broken or suppressed electrical signals between cells in the injured tissue.

What about pain that is not caused by an injury? Degenerative diseases, dehydration, inflammation, infection, ulcers, tumors, lack of minerals, spontaneous fractures, allergies, etc. may also cause the electrical circuits to fail. Whether it is the breaking of the electrical circuits from an injury or the failure of electrical signals for other reasons, the signal to the brain is the same. Both are interpreted as pain.

The failure of electrical connections between cells (blockage of “chi”) is not only the cause of pain, but the cause of all degenerative diseases, according to Traditional Chinese Medicine. The theory is not so incredulous when we know that the brain works electrically and that we are “brain dead” when there is no more electricity going across the brain. All cells will die or become degenerate if electrical signals are broken or suppressed.

HOW IS PAIN HEALED?

If pain is the breaking, suppression, or failure of the body’s electrical circuits, how does the body heal pain? Pain is healed when the body reconnects the broken circuits. When we hit our thumb with a hammer it hurts because electrical connections between the cells have been broken. It stops hurting when the body reconnects the broken circuits. This is the way the body heals pain and the only way we can heal pain–by finding and reconnecting the broken circuits that cause the pain.

Suppressing the pain signal with drugs is treating the symptom, not the cause. The medication only masks the pain and does nothing for the broken circuits that cause it.  How do you find and reconnect broken circuits? An instrument that measures electrical resistance can non-invasively detect where the circuits have failed. If the instrument also stimulates with the correct wave form, current, and frequency it is possible to reconnect the broken circuits.

Pressure on the reflex points are a more discriminating method of electrical stimulation.  When there is pain the part of the body that hurts always has more electrical resistance. This means the electrical signals between cells are suppressed. If you can restore the flow of electricity through the painful area, the pain will go away, often immediately. And if you can keep the circuits turned on, the pain will not return.  How do you maintain the flow of electricity (“chi” or “life force”) so the pain does not return? Pressure on reflex points can reconnect broken circuits.

DEFINITION OF REFLEXOLOGY

Reflexology is the art of reprogramming the atoms, cells, and electrons of the body to their original state through the triggering of signal points on the foot or hand. It is a science that deals with the principle that there are reflex areas in the feet and hands that correspond to all the glands, organs and parts of the body. Reflexology is a unique method of using the thumb and fingers on these reflex areas. Reflexology includes, but is not limited to relieving stress and tension, improving blood supply, promoting the unblocking of nerve impulses, and helping nature achieve homeo stasis.

The feet have a fundamental relationship to the body. Signal points on the feet provide a link of communication to the major organs, muscles, and the circulatory, respiratory, digestive, elimination, reproductive and skeletal systems.

Reflexology is used to manage energy savings in the body, reduce stress, and build a greater body awareness. It combats the effects of improper diet and environmental pollutants, and aligns the physical, mental and emotional energies. Reflexology is a very specific technique of applying pressure to these reflexes to bring about the desired results.

REFLEXOLOGY RELAXES TENSION

Since approximately 75% of today’s diseases are attributable to stress and tension, various body systems are affected in different ways and to varying degrees. One person may exhibit cardiovascular problems, another gastrointestinal upset, anorexia, palpitations, sweating, headaches, – to mention but a few of the myriad of bodily reactions to stress. This stress or tension could be described as a tourniquet around the body’s system, a tightening that can lead to serious consequences.

REFLEXOLOGY IMPROVES NERVE AND BLOOD SUPPLY

In order to keep the body at a normal balance, it is imperative that the blood and nerve supply to every organ and gland be at a maximum. Of course, the organs and glands contribute to the overall well-being of the body, each making contributions to maintaining an efficient, full operating mechanism, but all receive their instructions from the most intricate of all networks, the nerves.

These cord-like structures, comprised of a collection of nerve fibers, convey impulses between a part of the central nervous system and other regions of the body. They are the wiring system of the house called the human body. As with any complex wiring system, a short circuit can mean trouble.

A short circuit is often caused by tension putting pressure on a vital nerve plexus or even a single nerve structure supplying a vital organ. As tension is eased, pressure on the nerves and vessels is relaxed, thus improving the flow of blood and its oxygen-rich nutrients to all parts of the body.

REFLEXOLOGY HELPS NATURE ACHIEVE HOMEOSTASIS (Normal, Balance)

Overactive glands or organs can be helped to return to normal. Conversely, if an organ or a gland is under active Reflexology can help return it to its normally functioning level.

It is important to note here that the normalization action of Reflexology is never one of opposite extremes. In other words, once homeostasis or a normal condition is achieved, it cannot be unbalanced by working the area too much. Overworking can cause some minor reactions such as diarrhea or perhaps some nasal mucous being secreted (runny nose).  These reactions though, are cleansing poisons from the body. Succinctly, Reflexology cannot harm a system–it simply brings it back into balance.
