OVERCOMING ALZHEIMER'S AND RSD

The only hope for releasing pain in the lower back that gradually rose to the and neck was surgery. The doctor warned that it only had success rate of 65%. David wanted his veterinarian practice back as well as his music, with his guitar and banjo. The 6th cervical nerve was bruised and damaged in the process of the surgery, resulting in numbness of the arm, thumb and forefinger of one hand. Pain was relieved with medication but within six months the numbness returned and the neurosurgeon labeled it Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD) and this persisted over a period of 10 years. Nerves had not healed properly after neck surgery and opened the door for paralysis, pain, and sensitivity.
RSD usually spreads to other parts of the body. New medications prescribed were ineffective for pain control or resulted in nausea.
They decided to attend a retreat with David carrying his arm in a sling as the pain took its toll. They heard about possible help from electrical appliances that were recommended by some holistic doctors but they have to order it from the maker. After returning home they sent for the “Wet Cell” that was said to have helped many with RSD. Within two months on the Wet Cell, Eileen noticed changes in David. He was not experiencing the usual winter colds, he became alert, and could sleep soundly. His balding scalp sprouted new hair. He picked up his guitar again.

David’s wife, Eileen, had her own health challenges. Her parents carried early and late-onset Alzheimer’s genes. Today, of the original 10 family members, only Eileen and her younger brother, a retired Methodist minister, survive. Eileen recognized the symptoms of Alzheimer’s developing in herself and started regular daily sessions with another electrical appliance called the Radiac that was recommended by holistic doctors. Both David and Eileen have recovered. For more information on these or other A.R.E.’s training programs e-mail Shay.harrison@edgarcayce.org, or Eric.Stahlman@edgarcayce.org.
