Patience or Action

I was reading last night on the website ThisisMS. Incredibly informative and up to date with a wide variety of information and "cutting-edge" theories. MS truly is a condition that is receiving strong attention from every direction. While I believe I have been part of the "new truth" of MS, there are many other views and people who believe in their approach/path with every bit as much passion and belief as I do about my healing road.

There is a vaccine made from an ingredient of goat's milk, low dose Naltrexone, the new drug which aids walking by a unique mechanism. There is still strong belief in anti-inflammatory drugs like interferon, Tysabri and newer creations which can be taken orally. There is truly a lot out there and patients are getting benefit. The CCSVI theory is still in its infancy and far from accepted by the medical community. Yesterday, I spoke with a very kind woman with MS who tried to get the MRV done and instead had an MRA(magnetic resonance angiogram) done and it was read by a radiologist who had never heard of the CCSVI theory and did not look at her veins when reading the study. How utterly disappointing.

Where do we go from here?? Time is definitely needed to allow the new discoveries like CCSVI be studied, contemplated, and incorporated into the world view of the medical establishment. However, time is not a friend of someone who is living in a declining body. Tomorrow feels like an eternity to someone who is struggling. A clean formulated plan is needed now/today for individuals who feel stuck in an unfaithful body. The paradigm shift that I believe is happening needs time and strong spokespeople to bring it to fruition.

I feel excited when I sit back and ponder new roads to healing but at the same time I feel handcuffed and limited when I attempt to guide my fellow MS travellers on their road back to health and healing. I guess this is the paradox of living in the modern world which is exploding with potential but simultaneously landlocked by old views and slow progress.

I was on the phone with the director of the imaging center this morning. He said that I did have the MRV but will do my neck and jugular again without any charge. He said he would do it without contrast. What exactly did you have done? He has done thousands of tests but never has done what you are asking for. He is going to do the procedure himself on me. He is very kind and wants to do it the way you say. He also did not know about the Liberation Treatment. His name is Mr. Omen.

Connecting to the World

This is a picture from the Eucalyptus Grove At UCSD -- my dogs' favorite walk. Upon our return from our adventure, I read this from Buddhist psychologist, Rick Hanson. I really resonate with this aspect of connection. Connecting is in 3 directions -- inside with oneself, with others and with the world. When we strengthen one direction, we simultaneously strengthen our general connection. This is guidance to connect more deeply with the world. What makes you feel connected? I'd like to know.   Are we really so separate? The Practice   Love the world. Why?   Your brain evolved in three stages (to simplify a complex process): Reptile - Brainstem, focused on AVOIDING harm Mammal - Limbic system, focused on APPROACHING rewards Primate - Cortex, focused on ATTACHING to "us" With a fun use (to me, at least) of animal themes, the first JOT in this series -  pet the lizard  - was about how to soothe the most ancient structures of the...

A Guest Post from Jenna Walters

Tai Chi for Health Tai Chi is a secret weapon in the battle against the physical and mental demands of life. It has been able to help improve health in individuals with illnesses ranging from peritoneal mesothelioma to migraines . Its quiet and slow movements bring a calm balance to the mind. It also brings strength and balance to the body. Tai Chi demands very little from its participants. The focus is on body awareness and deep breathing. Its stretching is soft and fluid and its movements are low-impact. Young, old, athletic, or the rehabilitating can all gain better health with Tai Chi. Studies have shown that Tai Chi improves physical health . Although the movements are slow and require no added weight, those that practice Tai Chi become stronger in both upper and lower body. There is also proof that flexibility and balance are improved. The fact that the gentleness of this exercise has such positive results makes it perfect for the unfit, the elderly and for those recovering f...

Becoming Aware

In doing the work that I am so happy to be doing at Pando Health Groups, I have become acutely aware of the painful, demeaning,  limiting and downright cruel thoughts that people carry around and repeatedly tell themselves. Amazingly successful, intelligent and gifted people continually return to a dark and very negative image of themselves that is not based on current reality or supported by their current performance, relationships or modern lives. However, the tape is still playing. Worse yet, the tape hurts them deep down and affects all that they care about, desire and create. It takes away energy. It zaps power and limits potential. It creates misery and suffering. It, too often, makes their lives stay "stuck in the groove on the record". This tape can be turned off (or destroyed) but for too many it keeps raising its head when circumstances replicate past wounds or when there is an ongoing, overpowering, loud voice that just keeps breaking into one's hea...
