When You Know It is Right

Pando Health Groups is up and running. We have several movement groups and 2 groups utilizing our Pando Method (triad of group talking/interactive session, movement and our centering practice). Last night, we had our Healthy Outlook Program which is becoming our prototype group. We had a very real and open interaction where everyone was engaged and alive. The main topic (not planned) was not naturally comfortable (discussing working with negative emotions -- depression, anger, anxiety). However, the conversation flowed like a river and was heartfelt. The centering technique truly helped people get out of their heads and into the difficult feelings with a calmness and clarity which all were then able to convey in their own words. The movement practice provided a grounding and peace for all. There was a base of mutual respect and genuine caring which made it palpably real. Everyone left in a better space than the one they arrived in.

We are only getting started but it feels so right. I have craved this degree of honest, true human interaction for so long. This is the burning passion which I  have carried inside me throughout my career. I feel in my bones that starting Pando was what I was meant to do. We have SO much work to do -- improving, clarifying, perfecting, making it all duplicable and replicable, documenting the benefit etc. However, one thing is clear -- we are on the right path! Medicine will be a better service as we develop the Pando Method and deliver it to the world.

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...
