Pain!

 
It's one of the most powerful forces in our lives.

How much money do we spend each year in our never-ending
quest to relieve pain?


Hundreds of billions of dollars!

You know how it feels to be in pain.

You may even know what it's like to helplessly watch a friend or a loved one that is in pain.

Ideally, we should be able to go to our health care professional; they would
diagnose the cause of the pain and prescribe a remedy that would solve the
problem - the REAL problem - and our pain would go away.

 
Unfortunately, this is seldom the case.

 
Instead of trying figure out what the real cause of your pain is, the doctor
just gives you pain medications.

Sometimes the pain medicine works for a while and sometimes it doesn't seem to do anything except make you feel drowsy and unable to function normally.   What happens when the pain killers don't work? What happens if they help with the pain for a while but then become less and less effective?

Then what?

A different medication may be tried and if that doesn't work then the doctor
may suggest surgery.

And you know what else? These medications must be processed by your liver. And since pain medicines are synthetic (that don't naturally occur in your body) they put an added strain on your system when you are already dealing with the effects of pain.

According to the American Pain Foundation, there are more than 50 million Americans suffering from chronic pain, and 25 million experiencing acute pain as a result of injury or surgery.

Having surgery is a crap-shoot. It may relieve pain, or it may make it worse - MUCH worse! One thing is for sure - surgery carries some hefty risks! Post-surgical pain can be unbearable and surgical procedures expose you to the risk of serious infection as well as the undesired effects of anesthesia.

It seems that many doctors view the human body as little more than a bio-chemical machine.

With this limited view, they confine themselves (and their patients) to thinking about simple cause and effect relationships as they relate to medicine.

"If you have pain, let's use a drug to deaden it."

Research has shown that the human system is more complex than we can possibly imagine and that viewing it as a bio-chemical machine is completely inadequate!

However, there is another model of the human body - a more holistic view - that is over 5000 years old!

 

• The Chinese use this model of the human experience as the foundation of acupuncture theory.


• Ayurvedic medicine from ancient India also embraces this model as a more complete way of relating to health and healing.

• Wouldn't it be a blessing if there were some safe and effective methods of relieving pain that didn't require drugs or surgery?


• What would it be like if you discovered that there are untapped reservoirs of healing power in your body right now that are just waiting for you to access them?


• How would your life be different if you could take control of your health and be pain-free without having to rely on drugs or supplements?


• How much richer would your life be if you could do all the things you love to do without stiffness or discomfort?
