I find this very interesting. Since I realised that my reactions are not quite normal I have always described my default response to any challenging situation as "playing dead". Pause is an equally good description of the way my mind works even in relatively "safe" situations.
Thanks for posting. I was born with a club foot. While it was successfully treated I always lived with pain in my foot or knee and I learned to tune it out. When I saw this my jaw dropped! My symptoms started when I decided to go on a two week backpacking trip with my son which certainly mean a lot of challenging preparation and pain I tuned out. Shortly thereafter I had a terrible ski accident and it clearly felt like near death experience. Wow.
If you get a chance please read her free for download books. I was simply blown away. When I joined this site I was in partial recovery. I don't think I had a foot injury however I do think when I was very young I gave myself instructions to stop feeling and be strong. What she is saying now makes so much more sense. Mary
Thanks for sharing. I haven't got as far as reading about the method for recovery in detail yet but it seems that her thinking along the same lines as Dr Joe Dispenza whose meditations I'm practicing. His books are titled 'Change the Habit of Being Yourself' and'You are the Placebo'. There are also many YouTube videos of him explaining the neuroscience behind the meditations. Check him out as well as his work is easy to access and implement. I'll be getting back to Dr Janice Walton Hadlock now! Best wishes.
Having read more of her new writing, it seems as if the Dr Joe Dispenza guided meditations are exactly what she's advocating - to change the habit of being you.
I probably need to read this again a little more thoroughly, but I don't quite understand why it's so dangerous for someone that's been on meds for 4 weeks to ? years? If someone can briefly explain that, it would be very much appreciated.
This is fascinating. Does anyone personally know of anyone who has been healed or at least had their symptoms greatly improve with Dr. Hadlock's method?
I'm not trying to prove or disprove anything. I would love it if her method worked. But, bottom line, has healing actually occurred?
Thank you. Have you tried her methods? I am trying the foot holding thing with my husband but not sure if this is the thing to do or not. I will say that when I held his foot, he was lying on his back. I asked if he would take in a deep breath and noisily expel it. He did. One time when he did sincerely, I felt his foot "come alive" or twitch a bit - his ankle bones are almost fused (little flexibility) from prior injuries. He said he "felt better" afterwards.
thank you. Sorry it did not work. I believer her too. I just wish other practitioners knew of her work and could expand on it or use their experience to help others.
This is a link to one person's blog who claims to have recovered from PD and gives Janice Hadlock some of the credit: fightingparkinsonsdrugfree....
Here's another who feels that he's achieving some amount of recovery and credits Hadlock with providing insights that have helped: theparkinsonsblueprint.com/
Please do. I've been diagnosed with Parkinson's for 7 years now. It was in the very beginning that I tried it, at the time she did not have all the answers on how to do it. Now she gives more directions. I did have my husband hold my foot for a few months, now she gives more directions. I did not notice any difference in Parkinson's but my foot did feel better. Over my lifetime I did twist it quite a few times.
