Re: Patty &Rogene/, massage

I don't understand why insurance companies are so willing to dish

out thousands of dollars for pain pills (that don't actually

contribute toward healing of any sort), yet are not willing to pay

for therapeutic massage, which could help bring about not only pain

relief, but long lasting " root cause " relief as well. It makes no

sense. I remember Daryl telling me that her Duragesic patches cost

$1500 a month. WOW. That would pay for alot of massages! And I

think the massages would do so much more than the pain pills.

I hope nobody misunderstands me...I know that some of our women are

in so much pain that they need those pain pills just to be able to

get through a day--but without making an effort to get beyond the

pain pills, it is just spinning wheels to me.

We went through the same thing with my husband and his back issues.

He suffered from debilitating back pain for some time, going to

chiropractors and DO's for adjustments, and it got to the point that

the insurance company finally even paid for physical therapy. It

was never long lasting--only temporary relief. I have no doubt that

eventually they would have suggested back surgery of some sort. This

went on for several years. Spinning wheels, never getting anywhere.

When he complained that the pain was in his kidney area, and

radiated down his leg, I decided to put him on a kidney cleanse, and

from there we moved on to colon cleanses and other detoxification

therapies. This was after I started learning all I needed to learn

about my own healing. Voila! Imagine our delight and surprise when

his pain went away! It has stayed away because he made lifelong

changes to his eating habits. We have, on our own, discovered that

a diet heavy in meats and/or processed foods, without making sure

that his colon is kept clear, brings back that back pain. So, it

turned out to be entirely a problem associated with his diet and his

colon. Perhaps it is a situation where an impacted colon presses on

a nerve or something of the sort. But the point was that all the

money the insurance companies were willing to throw at it through

traditional medicine WOULD NOT HAVE SOLVED THE PROBLEM. They were

looking everywhere but the right place. Simply paying for some

colon cleansing, and then teaching him how to keep his colon clear

would have fixed him. As it is, we found that out for free, using

our own brains.

We have a bloated, ineffective health care system that throws away

dollars, and leaves people hurting. Sometimes in worse shape than

they started. It is sad.
