I finally got to the pain clinic on Wednesday at Moorabin & the Dr I saw there was really thorough. Instead of trying to just get me off drugs he understood why I am on them & the pain that they help. For the moment he gave me morphine to control the severe pain that stops me from sleeping etc.
He has also referred me for a wait list for a drip for some other drug that resets the brain nerves so you dont feel pain as much. It was cerbe? something, I can't remember name. It will mean I would be in hospital 3-5 days & could have all sorts of reactions. Things like psychotic things etc. I cant remember the others & can't remember the name of the drug, if anyone can think of it I would appreciate it. Then I can do some research. I know morphine is addictive & has reactions too but I am only taking 1/2 a tablet when needed, not often hopefully.
I am still having District nurses every 2 days for my wound which is still open & still very painful to put it mildly.

"At the Senate Select Subcommittee hearing on CANCER research 1946"
All five doctors stated one therapy had " surprised and encouraged by the results. " One doctor stated RELIEF of severe PAIN was achieved in about 90 percent of cases" for cancer. However, since much of the inflammation is triggered in the gut and this can lead to pain...I wonder if it would work for other types of pain?
MAYBE it could help you...something to discuss with a doc..or not.
You still might have to be on pain meds but you might be able to decrease the pain to the point where less dosage would work better. So you would have less side effects ie constipation that can cause pain too.
This therapy states it has the following benefits:
*dilates blood vessels and counter inflammation of the gut
* Palmitates enhance glutatuione S-transferase (me-HUGE antioxidant) removes toxic radicals from blood
* stimulates the visceral nervous system, promoting peristalsis (me-muscle movement in intestines that pushes out poop)and the transit of diluted toxic bile from the duodenum out the rectum.
* Since the therapy takes 15 minutes and the blood in the body passes through the liver nearly every three minutes it is a form of dialysis of blood across the gut wall
* improve cell potassium (K) while decreasing salt therefore reducing swelling of cell that can damage it.
* Increase mitochondria count and activity.
So what is this therapy? Something I have read other doctors have done for about 3 years. However, none stated what benefits there are and what mechanisms by which it acts. I wondered about the safety of it. I spoke to an RN over a year ago and she stated that they used to put this therapy in manuals given to nurses but well over a decade ago it was taken out. So it was safe.
It is a coffee enema held for 15 minutes and then evacuated out.
Plus drink veggie/fruit drinks to re-hydrate
If you want a good read it is called 'The Gerson Therapy. 'I am referencing pages 162-169.
i bought an enema bag and bucket but googled the safety of coffee enemas and was like, ohhhhkay maybe not. lol
i was given compazine for a migraine and had a 'psychotic event', they had to stop immediately. i was given a sedative, but was so wired i never went to sleep. i'm never allowed to have compazine again though. i FREAKED out big time, lol one of the worst things ever, it might be that?
