A New Beginning

I have been granted an incredible gift. I have the great fortune to be able to begin my life anew. This gift is infinite in its scope and possibility. However, it carries with it a "newness" that is more than a little overwhelming to me. For so long, I have fit my life to the state of my energy level which sadly has been mostly depleted. Now, I once again have energy and the ability to live vigorously. Not only are my veins open, but so are my options. I no longer have to plan for rest and quiet from the storm. I can go charging into life with a reckless abandon that has been impossible for the past decade.

However, my mind is still limited in the face of a reborn body. Fear and limitation have been my life partners and they are holding on for dear life. They seem to crave paralysis and weakness. My racing, neurotic mind seems incapable of keeping up with a freed body. I have down-sized my dreams and expectations for my self in order to cope with my deflated energy level and power.

I want to break free. I need to break free. The world is open, alive and with never-ending potential but I am scared and constricted. My mind has conformed to the limits of my former body and I am frightened of the power which again resides within my grasp. I used to dream of "changing the medical model", of changing the world for the better. I feel inhibited in this pursuit now. I don't know where to start. I am scared to start but I absolutely must.

I have had all the therapy I need. I have insight into myself and my ways of being. I have knowledge and have had incredible teaching. All I need is to let my new body take me forward to where I know I need to go. My father always told me to believe in myself. It is my time to listen.

Dear Dr Mark,

I have been patiently waiting and praying for more than a decade to hear these words from you ~

“Now I once again have energy and the ability to live vigorously… I can go charging into life with a reckless abandon…”

You always held the faith knowing one day you will HEAL yourself, which you miraculously accomplished. Now tap into that same strong faith and know your dreams of “changing the medical model, of changing the world for the better” will also materialize~ do not down-size anything!

You’ve actually started the change with your blog! I love reading the comments from around the world of how people are using your blog to help them get the medical attention they so deserve. It’s so heart-warming.

The time is now to “recklessly abandon” the thoughts of fear and limitation. They are only thoughts. “All I need is to let my new body take me forward to where I know I need to go.”

You said it’s time to listen to your father’s words of believing in yourself. He will be so proud to witness you embrace “the power which again resides within my grasp”.

Allow yourself to step into that power… “I want to break free. I need to break free. The world is open, alive and with never-ending potential.”

“I am scared to start but I absolutely must…”

My prayers continue~
Mary

$$$

I received my bills this week. $ 32,000 for the Liberation Procedure. $1200 for MRV. Amazingly, my insurance(Blue Cross) covered all but $5000 of the total. I feel so fortunate that it was largely covered. I have sat on Utilization Review Committees(when I worked at Scripps) and thought the insurance company would deny coverage based on the experimental nature of the procedure. Luckily for me, I was wrong! I guess they just cannot deny need for treatment of blocked blood vessels.

IT'S HAPPENING

Wow, the information available on CCSVI on the internet is truly amazing! I have to admit: I did not research this topic as well as I could have. I did not read the study from Poland before my procedure. I did not realize all the excitement combined with incredible knowledge that is coming out of Georgetown. I am just reading them now and I can hardly contain myself. There is so much data available on CCSVI from around the world. I acted more on a deep gut feeling that CCSVI was real and was my path to healing. I was a little desperate as I felt myself sliding over the last year and didn't feel right with the auto-immune drugs. CCSVI just made sense to me; really good sense. Now reading the data, I am so excited for huge numbers of people to get healed/opened/freed! After doing a little research, it seems that nearly all people with definite MS have CCSVI. It also seems that people with MS who have the procedure have less flairs over time and a better quality of life. Some get a lo...

Placebo

Someone recently asked me in response to my blog as well as to the success of the Liberation Procedure, "Is it just placebo effect"? This is truly a loaded question. After my initial defensive reaction, I gave it deeper thought. Placebo is truly a giant word and concept. It has negative connotations("he is just better because of the placebo effect") but it has immense power and strength. In research studies, experimenters often compare a new treatment with a placebo. In order for the treatment to be accepted, a new therapy has to be better than placebo. In most studies placebo does remarkably well ie 30-40% benefit. So 30-40 per cent of people get better with a sugar pill or an inert substance. This speaks strongly about several points. First, approximately one third of people get better with no intervention with placebo or time or just believing that they will get better. This has enormous power. Harnessing the power of this safe intervention can be amazingly hea...
