This is one of the ‘experience-sharing’ blogs. We put them up not so much to boast, or to boost our egos, but to either give space, or ourselves present a variety of voices. They all have benefited in their own way, but NOT to satisfy the criteria of a test. The criteria for success, in this case is the way people feel in their own bodies and lives once the treatment is over; or once results have kicked in for good, while the treatment is still on.
Anne has been working as a teacher throughout her life, and continued even after retirement by instructing elementary school kids who come to her house after classes, helping them with homework and preparing them for tests – because in Indian schools there are always tests, even fro elementary school kids, even for pre-schoolers. Throughout her life she had also derived a great deal of satisfaction from her work, and therefore did not like it, when three years ago, she discovered that her stamina was failing her somewhat. It simply became more difficult to take care of the school kids and shoulder her share of the household work (Anne is now in her early seventies and lives with her son and his family in the family house). As both the son and daughter-in-law are working and sometimes away from home for weeks, Anne has to chip in, which at some point turned into a greater challenge.
It is at that moment that she started to come to my clinic. She visited and took treatments I believe twice over the past three years, each time for short periods of time. As she lives 250 Kms away from Goa, she cannot just drop in whenever she likes.
Her main complaint when she came was that overall she had started to feel a lack of energy and stamina. This condition was aggravated by the fact that her blood pressure had been too high for years (against which she took some medication) and that she also badly suffered from a severe chronic cough. She was congested in the chest and asthmatic, against which she also had been taking some medication). The coughing spells sometimes were so bad that they crippled her to the point that she couldn’t function for a while. Naturally they ate up her strength, as such coughs always do.
We followed a very simple treatment plan. First, her blood pressure medication was changed, as the medicine she had been taking for years had proved ineffective for years. The new medicine kicked in right away. She also took a series of IV ozone drips. In addition I prescribed multi-mineral and multi-vitamin supplements in moderate amounts. I encouraged her to drink a minimum of 2 liters of water per day, plus some juice, and less milk tea (although of course she could have some if she wanted). She asked me about the value of the kind of energy self-treatment method that she had learned from someone. I encouraged her to proceed with it, as it is always a good sign when a client takes initiative and does something to boost her own health.
Now, after two relatively short treatment series at Healthy Healing Anne feels more lively and stronger than before. Her cough is gone. The blood pressure is pretty close to normal. Even better, whenever she feels a slight infection or cold coming on she gets over it much faster than she used to. Recently, both her son and daughter-in-law had to be away on a job for several weeks. Anne could manage nevertheless, without feeling a lack of stamina. She took care of the house and her two grandsons who are in their teens – and kept her tuition classes going at the same time.
She feels good about herself because although she might be somewhat advanced in years, the weight of these years is not crushing her. She continues to lead a productive life, fully involved in her family and community.
