Nancy's Own Story

This letter was in response to a query from someone who had surgery for Spinal Stenosis and still had no relief.

Spinal Stenosis - I've had it for years along with no discs from L3 down and Scoliosis... doubt if I have them any longer - the stenosis and scoliosis. If I do I don't have symptoms.

For your friend... Dr. Bob Jacobson developed the Spinal Tomogram while working with Dr. Hubert Rosomoff in Jackson Memorial Hospital in Florida. I had been married to Dr. Gil Preston who also had a residency with Rosomoff back in Einstein Hospital. I had 2 emergency laminectomies back then - bladder stopped functioning, etc. The tomogram showed severe stenosis, loads of spurs and according to Rosomoff, "the worst case he had seen out of the 250 tomograms showing stenosis."

Today, as Mary Coleman can tell you, I happily dance for hours, walk as long as I want, sleep well, and generally feel great. I am almost 65 and thankfully live a pain free life - except when I do totally dumb things!

Here's the treatment I've followed:

• For one straight year every week a regular Raindrop treatment, then once a month. Along with that 1 ounce of Ningxia Red (anti-inflammatory and seems to quiet the nerve damage) twice a day.
• In between the RT I would put Idaho Balsam Fir, Juniper, Frankincense and Peppermint over the lower spine, now sometimes Deep Relief. Most days just in the AM seems to be sufficient.
• I added lots of trace minerals into my diet eating seaweed - nowadays I use Himalyan Pink Salt, at least 3 pinches a day, to replenish the minerals. I follow a fairly alkaline diet to keep the inflammation from occurring.
• My diet became far more alkaline. In today's world I recommend everyone understand what that means. You can look online at Acid Alkaline Chart and many will come up, all with good information.
• I keep handy Basil oil and Roman Chamomile for any spasm I might have - my muscles rarely spasm now but I can have a problem if I sit on very hard surfaces too long or long flights. I apply one of the 2 oils where I have the spasm and they are instantly stopped.
• I take lots of B Complex - either Super B by Young Living or Liquid B by Worlds Organics. I've also taken injections of B12.
• For recovery from the damage to the nerve I make up a mix that acts like Helichrysum which is the only thing I've come across that regenerates nerves. My propioceptors in my left foot did not work for many years. The EMG I had in 1969 showed complete degeneration of the muscles in my left leg.
• With the use of the mix, and Juniper and Geranium, over the roots and the routes of the nerves starting in 2003: My numb areas are no longer numb. The hyperthesia is about 15% of what it was. The propioceptors work and the muscles all function well!!!
