Welcome to this page where you can read the many inspirational
and heartfelt testimonial stories and experiences of other people who have
received great benefits from myself and doctors practicing similarly to me
using cutting edge healing approaches such as Network Spinal Analysis, NeuroEmotional
Technique, Homeopathy, Mindbody approaches and whole food nutrition.
*These stories are provided to show examples of people
who have undergone care and have had success. They are not intended to
indicate that the services or approaches used are intended to cure, prevent,
diagnose or treat any disease or illness. These are only a few of the stories
our patients have shared with us. We have not included all of them but these
are fairly representative of some of the people who come through our offices.
ADD/ADHD
Our son, Mark, was diagnosed
with ADD symptoms;
trouble controlling anger; restlessness and unable to focus on his homework.
He had lack of self-esteem, and lack of acceptance by his peers. He's was
also unable and unwilling to do things by himself. It was very demanding of
our time to get things done without him throwing tantrums. And it required a
lot of patience to put up with his "in a minute", "not now", later"
procrastination habits.
His powers of concentration have
increased. He is able to stay on task for longer periods.
Memory retention has increased greatly. In general, he gets along much
better with those surrounding him.
We would definitely recommend
Network Care to others. And we trust that by keeping up the treatments even
greater benefits will be achieved.

In 1994, Michael was diagnosed with
Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). This diagnosis was based on my son's
inability to focus at school, resulting in poor academic performance and
behavior problems. He was very negative about school and was down on himself.
As his parents we were deeply
concerned and troubled about our son's behavior problems which included
hyperactivity, low self-esteem and severe depression.
His pediatrician and psychologist
treated him with medication and therapy. At first, it seemed to improve his
behavior, but he still had difficulty focusing on verbal commands and
instructions at school. He was easily distracted and would get overly excited
and disoriented. The medication helped to calm him, but, in turn caused him
to be depressed. Due to his depression, the medication was changed to combat
the depression in addition to the ADD.
He was on medication for six months before beginning Network
Care. Within a couple of weeks of Network treatments, Michael responded
favorably. The first noticeable improvement was in his behavior. He was
calmer, but without the depression.
I am so proud of my son, he has learned basic algebra! Algebra
was always confusing to me, and when I saw that my son was assigned this
class, I was concerned about how I was going to help him. It turns out M
grasped it even better than I did! For a child that has always had trouble
with abstract problems, he was able to get his mind around algebra. His proud
mom now asks him for help.
Now, Michael is totally off
medication. He no longer has a problem with hyperactivity. He is fully able
to focus and concentrate on his studies. He completes assignments on time,
and he seems clear on math/word problems. He feels a sense of accomplishment,
therefore his academic performance in general have both greatly improved. In
fact, he is doing so well that he has earned awards for "Good Citizenship" and
"Most Improved in Academics." In addition, he was awarded two "Perfect
Attendance Certificates" for the last two trimesters of school.
We are happy with Michael's
progress. He is now a very positive and happy child who exhibits a new
eagerness to learn and who takes pride in his accomplishments. Needless to
say, we are greatly relieved and most appreciative. Network Care and Dr. Hans
was truly the light at the end of the tunnel for us.

Allergies
Sniffling, sneezing, wheezing,
aching, shaking, and simply out of my head over allergies. I decided to
do anything to rid myself of the trouble. I tried Claritan, Synafed, Benedryl,
just about every allergy pill and nothing worked. Until I came to Network care
and Dr. Hans.
I have to admit I was very
skeptical about Network care. The concept of touching my spine to clear my air
passages did not strike me as a life-changing opportunity. However, thanks to
the excellent care I have received my allergies have disappeared.
My experience with Network has
been educational and wonderful. It is a joy to breathe the air of the
natural beauty of life and an absolute pleasure to know that people do not
have to suffer the way I did. It just takes a little faith and trust.

Before getting into Network Care I
had constant fatigue, lower back pain, headaches from allergies, neck
pain, and tingling in my arms and hands like "pins-and-needles", and
depression.
This resulted in no motivation.
I've been irritable because of pain therefore not a real joy to be around. I
had a feeling of living in a fog without the ability to think about or
remember things.
After starting care I can turn my
head further. The tingling sensation is only once in a while. The pain in my
knee has lessened. The best change is an increase in clarity--the fog is
lifting!! Also, it seems my allergies aren't as severe. I'm feeling
more energy too. Thanks.

Anxiety/Anger/Fear
Several years ago I started to
develop anxiety and panic attacks. I'm a corporate executive and
having the people I manage see me in this condition was not tolerable.
After going to the emergency room, I was told by doctors to either take
a vacation or they could give me medication. I wanted neither. One of
our friends suggested I try Network Care. I went to Dr. Gin and within a
couple weeks the anxiety and panic attacks started to disappear and I
started feeling like my old self again.
Well, after I started feeling
better I decided not to continue care. I experienced the same feelings
of anxiety and panic roughly about one year after I had my
initial bouts. I decided to go see Dr. Gin again and within a few
sessions I was feeling better again. This time, Dr. Gin recommended that
I stay under care more consistently so that I would never develop these
feelings again.
Another great benefit is that I
just went in to for my yearly checkup and my high blood pressure is now
normal. The doctor couldn't explain why. The only thing I'm doing
different is the Network Care, which I attribute the change to.

After
experiencing the benefits of Network Treatments for a month both my wife
and son Chris were eager to have treatments. My son Chris was just
fourteen years old when he started his Network experience in February
2002. Chris is a large boy for his age at 5’ 10” 230 Lbs. He is a
somewhat shy boy uncomfortable in his body in terms of sense of balance
and is not very athletic. Additionally, he has some learning
disabilities in terms of memory retention and he suffered from
feelings of anxiety. After being in Network treatment for one month
I suggested that Chris give it a try. After seeing changes in his
father he was interested in giving Network a try.
After several weeks of
treatment, my wife and I began noticing changes in Chris. Chris
started taking a personal initiative in physical exercise relative to
getting in shape for Little League. He started attempting new physical
exercises that he was previously uncomfortable with. His teacher had
showed him how to jump rope. Chris then started jump roping at home,
something he had never done before. Chris can now jump rope over
hundred times in a row. Chris had felt a great deal of anxiety,
particularly before bedtime. Suddenly Chris found himself going to
sleep easily on his own and reporting a much greater sense of ease in
social situations, which previously had made him feel
uncomfortable. Chris’s learning abilities improved with a noticeable
increase in sustained concentration and a much higher level of memory
retention. He was now able to memorize large amounts of material, which
had previously been impossible for him to do. In terms of media
entertainment Chris lost his interest in mindless action movies and a
need to rent videos every weekend. His interest turned to watching
sporting events.
Chris is
not a communicative person in terms of feelings and we rarely talk about
Network at home. We just let the benefits of Network care manifest at
their own pace and manner. Chris now insists on going to Network care
and is very concerned if he cannot make a treatment. Chris’s overall
level of anxiety has been greatly reduced, which has manifested itself
in a higher level of confidence towards many life situations. He
now has the ability to learn all types of material much more rapidly and
easily and can learn new types of exercises and physical skills, which
had previously been difficult to learn. All of these changes have
occurred spontaneously in Chris, with no other special outside training
or teaching. The only new variable in Chris’s life is Network care. As
the weeks of Network care continue the benefits continue to deepen and
Chris’s feelings for the process just continues to grow.

In two months, my breathing has
become much deeper and more relaxed. My body, overall, feels peaceful.
My neck is a lot more fluid and much looser. Emotionally, I am no longer
afraid to move forward in life. And even though I am under tremendous
stress, I seem to handle it quite differently - I no longer have
anxiety attacks. I have had anxiety attacks for a long time where my
breathing would become shallow, and my neck and shoulders would tense
up. I no longer have the 'background chatter' in my head. I never could
fully relax because I was always hashing through things in my head. This
chatter would keep going after work, while I was at home trying to
unwind from the day and relax. Now, I'm able to let go of all that and I
find that I have a deeper sense of inner peace. Overall, my quality of
life has awesomely improved since my decisions are now made in a
peaceful inner environment instead of a chaotic one.

I recently had an
interesting experience. For many years I've had a fear of going to
the dentist. It would manifest physically as stomach upset
and all the associated symptoms. I had to go get work done because of a
broken tooth. I was afraid, but the dentist was gentle and all was
well.
Then I came for an
adjustment. At the first Network entrainment contact I was reconnected
with all the fears and negativity I'd been carrying for so long. I even
felt all the physical symptoms of my fear and anxiety. Because of the
adjustment I was able to release all of my fears. It was
wonderful. Today, I went to the dentist again, and it was a totally
different experience. No fear. No physical symptoms. On more
step toward being who I was meant to be!

Arthritis
About August of 2000 I was feeling miserable; pain was
depressing me. Some of the pain, I’m sure, was a result of years of
osteoarthritis and poor posture. A friend recommended I pay a visit
to Network care and Dr. Hans. That was the start of a re-awakening.
Gradually I began to feel better. Now after going
through relief and corrective care I’m going into advanced care feeling
great! My posture has improved, I have more energy, and I breathe more
deeply. I feel alive.

I began NSA care
approximately eighteen months ago. I had just been diagnosed with
osteoarthritis by my medical doctor who recommended I begin taking
an anti-imflammatory drug known as Rellefin. Since I was already taking
hormone replacement drugs, I didn't want to increase the amount of drugs
in my system. I decided to explore a holistic approach to dealing with
the debilitating pain and restriction in my movements. I was in so much
pain that I could only work half days.
My first approach was
massage therapy. I loved the massage, but there were no lasting effects.
My massage therapist recommended I try Network care and that was
certainly the right answer. Within weeks the terrible muscle spasm began
to move around my body, then finally left altogether. I was very regular
with my appointments and soon had more "tools" to deal with my problem
than I had ever had. I began to be much more aware of when and how the
pain began, and I was now able to release the spasm and postures which
had nearly paralyzed me earlier. This new awareness carried over into my
relationships as well. I was now able to recognize potentially
troublesome patterns developing before they became so "set" within the
emotional exchange of a relationship that neither party would want to
tackle the resulting problem. Life became easier and more joyful. At one
point I began yoga. I have now regained much of my former strength and
balance. Yoga and Network are a winning combination for the specific
problems I have had.
Though I am in my
mid-fifties, I feel today as supple and energetic and flexible as I did
when I was twenty-five! Much of the credit goes to Network Care!

Behavior
Modification
I began my treatment a year
ago. I chose NSA Care for two reasons. First, I have had a series of
unsatisfactory experiences seeking conventional medical treatment.
Second, several days prior to my accident a friend described his own
experiences with NSA and Dr. Gremaud. His testimonial was so glowing it
stuck in my mind.
My left big toe, which I
jammed several years ago in a skiing accident has been sore and often
painful. There has been not noticeable discomfort for three months.
My right hip has been sore
and painful enough to make driving a car longer than one hour an
ordeal. This symptom, which had no cause that I can explain, has
disappeared. Three weeks ago I drove four hours to Massachusetts with
no discomfort.
I still have a chronic
stiff neck on my left side which has been a recurring painful problem
since I can remember. However, since starting treatment this problem
recurs less often and with less severity. Often when discomfort begins
I am able to move my own spine and using exercises I learned to stop the
pain.
My personal medical doctor
could offer only x-ray, pain killers, arthritis medication or surgery,
all which seem very unhealthy and too expensive.
On top of being able to sit
at my desk and work for two hours with no back or hand discomfort--I'm
now sleeping through the night consistently for the first time in
years. I have ended my addiction to caffeine; I have not had
an alcoholic drink for over a year; I can garden, work in my house
and walk in the woods for hours.
In my estimation, all
insured people would be better served and much money saved if every
person were required to be cared for by a Network practitioner before
being allowed to seek treatment from a medical doctor.

I began care here because I
had injured my back during our recent move to a different house. Well,
I had read a little about the concept of Network Care, I really was only
interested in having my back relieved, preferably in as few visits as
possible. The pain lingered on through the first month, and I begun to
feel very frustrated. During one of my visits I saw another woman doing
the "wave" breathing and sufficiently impressed me to continue care for
awhile longer, although I was certain that nothing like that would
happen to me. I'm too much in control for that sort of thing!
Early in my second month of
care, the walls came tumbling down to my great surprise. Breathing
seemed to take over my body, and I soon found myself sobbing
uncontrollably, although I wasn't aware of any sad thoughts. Despite my
embarrassment, I felt so wonderful when it was over...so unburdened. In
the weeks since that time, many changes have begun to take place,
both physical and mental. I was shocked when I realized I no longer
wanted to start the day with a good cup of coffee. Nor do heavy foods
appeal t me now, or rich desserts. I have experienced short bursts
of hysterical laughter several times (although I can't figure out what's
so funny). I feel light and open and joyful. My energy level is sooo
much better! I can feel movement in my hip area: walking feels
different. And back pain? Well, that's history. I feel sort of like
the tin man (in The Wizard of Oz) after Dorothy used the oil can on
him. I am learning to listen to what the "inner me" know is best for
me.
I am very grateful for the
wonderful on-going Network Care. My husband and two of our children will
be starting this
week. J.W.

I started Network care on
Dec.11, 2000. Today is January 24, 2001. I have had the most amazing
experiences in my life. For the last 30 years I have tried to control my
food and tried various attempts. I have given up sugar and taken it
back. At one point I was so hooked on coffee that I had to drink triple
espressos lattes before work. In recent years. I had lessened the use of
caffeine and sugar but I usually found myself fighting the urge to stay
off. After my pregnancy, I began to go back to both as a way of handling
the exhaustion of taking care of twins. In the last 4 weeks I felt very
guided to let go of sugar, caffeine, and meats. And I've done
this. I had no plans of truly doing this. In fact, as a last surrender
war dance, during Christmas I ate chocolate every day to prove a point;
a point that took me to a place of despair and pain.
Well, since the beginning
of the year, I have changed my diet with almost no effort. I feel great.
I had been experiencing hot flashes and pre-menopausal symptoms. They
are completely gone. I do not miss any of the old foods. I am so
committed to being a gentler and kinder human being. It has shifted my
perception of my personal relationships for the better.
The most amazing shift has
taken place in my home. I have for over 30 years been a "clutterer" and
have never been into clearing or cleaning my house. In the last three
weeks, I have moved furniture, cleared out junk and boxes. I feel so
energized. I have such a desire to clear the old and make room for the
new.
I feel like these are all
incredible miracles. This is all part of the process of healing with
Network care. I like how I feel and how my home is starting to look.

I have been doing yoga for over
10 years and I always felt I've had tremendous flexibility in my body
and mind. But when I started doing Network Spinal Analysis I noticed
that there was a huge shift in my consciousness and I experienced an
even greater flexibility. It really opened up the door to greater
awareness and shifted my entire perspective on many levels. I have since
gotten back into the things I loved and have not done for many years. My
internal voice has been made much louder to me through Network care and
I have made choices that are much healthier for me (business,
personal, and relationship). I know I would not have made these
life-liberating choices without the help of this care and I am so
grateful for this work.

Blood
Pressure
The reason I began NSA Care was that my back was painful.
Interestingly, now I realize that my back was a very small issue. I
have experienced amazing changes. Pain has helped me learn much more
about myself. This approach is such a gift!
My blood pressure is now
lower than it was 15 years ago (especially amazing since I've had
high blood pressure for the last 5 years). I also feel like my body is
taller. My spine is changing dramatically. Thank you!

Breath/Breathing
I would like to give a heartfelt
thanks to my NSA doctor and NSA for the wonderful benefits that I am
receiving at this office. I entered this sanctuary not knowing anything
about Network Spinal Analysis. I was referred by my daughter who was
sure that I could greatly benefit from the treatments. And indeed I
have.
For the last few years I have
been a shallow breather--which has limited my activities and
enjoyment of life. With every deep breath I would receive a sharp,
piercing pain somewhere deep in the vicinity of my central right chest
and right back shoulder blade. Needless to say this was very
distressful. Incredibly, after my SECOND session I had COMPLETE
relief from that agonizing pain and I was able to take deep breaths
comfortably again. I couldn't believe it at first and many times
took deep breaths with trepidation--fearing or wondering if the pain
would reappear. But the pain has not returned and in addition I have
received other health benefits such as being able to turn my had from
side to side without experiencing the previous distress and
inflexibility in my neck. My shoulders don't seem to slump and roll
forward as they had previously. And I have also been enjoying a newfound
sense of well-being.
I've gone to many traditional
chiropractors and I hate the cracking adjustments. I'm amazed at how
much can happen with such a light, gentle, feathery touch.
NSA could well be called a
miracle. Or magic. Or a potential path of salvation for the human race.

I had pain in back and neck,
depression, anxiety, and my most major concern was breathing
difficulties. These all interfered in my life so that I couldn't
keep a job. I was also emotionally unstable which made it tough on
relationships. I was also suicidal and indulged in several kinds of
drugs which helped calm my nerves.
Since being under Network
Care with Dr. Spratt, I have had no pain in my back and neck and a
better sense of well-being. Also, since starting care my breathing
has immensely improved, almost miraculously. No, it is miraculous.

I try to look at the spine like
the head. If I can eliminate the pressures in my spine, than I will be
in overall better health. Thus, when I went to see Dr. Whelan for
Network Care I told him my goals were to have a healthier spine, learn
to
be more relaxed and whatever else
I might experience would be great.
During my first session, I
started to notice changes in my breathing. It was like I couldn't
stop taking deep breaths in. I couldn't believe how much air my lungs
were taking in. When my session was finished, I noticed I was
standing and sitting up straight. I usually slouch, so this made me a
believer of this work. But, the best part of it was I didn't care about
a damn thing. I had some things on my mind before coming, but not when I
left there. I was in a terrific mood and had the mentality of "don't
sweat the small stuff" (or the big stuff, for that matter). It was a
great feeling.
One of the other major
things I noticed was my body wanted to move more and was more flexible.
I found myself dancing in my truck while I was driving, and I wanted to
go dance more. All in all, it was an excellent experience that I plan to
keep doing and I would recommend to anyone.

Cancer/Tumor
Thanks to you, Network care and
our loving creator, my health/condition has improved tremendously. Ever
since November my life and health circumstances changed dramatically. I
was diagnosed with a cerebellar tumor/hemangioblastoma. This is a
large mass in the vermian part of the cerebellum, which was causing
dizziness and nausea. In addition, I was also diagnosed with an
aneurysm. Due to this mass and its location, I had a surgery performed
to try to remove this tumor. Only 90% of it was removed. This surgery
caused me to lose a lot of my neck mobility and my balance and
equilibrium was pretty much gone. I had to constantly have someone with
me wherever I went. As if the effects of the surgery were not enough,
the medication I was given had a horrible "side effect". I had to take a
steroid medication for the swelling of the brain. Unfortunately this not
only causes your body to retain liquid, but it can also have a
neurological slowness effect in a person. Needless to say I felt
miserable and felt like my recuperation process would take forever. I
could not sleep nor rest due to the discomfort and pain of my neck.
FINALLY!!! After 4 long
years of my sister trying to share with the wonderful results of Network
care I listened to her advice and went to see her doctor. Something I
now wish I would've done long ago. Perhaps this would have prevented my
surgery. It's been almost three months from my surgery and 2 months of
being treated with Network care by Dr. Whelan and the changes in my
condition are truly incredible. I am able to walk without having
someone with me at all times. I am able to sleep better, my neck has
regained most of its mobility and the stress and anguish I felt are
slowly going away. The balance my whole body has gained in such a short
time is remarkable and it actually impressed my surgeon. Even my posture
has changed. I realized my back and shoulders were no longer slouching.
I am able to stand and walk with a straight posture. I no longer need
the medications for swelling nor for the dizziness I was experiencing.
It will be interesting to see the results of the new MRI test I will be
getting as a follow-up.
For now, I feel like a
completely new person. I AM a new person, my outlook and way of
viewing my illness has gone from a negative attitude to a completely
more positive one. My friends and family enjoy my company more and have
witnessed this gradual but awesome change. They are so encouraged my my
improvement that all my family and a friend have come under Network
care.
Just yesterday, I was able
to finally go for a walk on the beach, feeling the wonderful coolness of
the sand on my feet and being able to do it on my own. It was the most
rewarding experience I've had since November when everything seemed to
come down on me. I have so much to be thankful for.

"The first decision I made
upon hearing my mammogram was positive was to not have the breast
cancer treatments of mastectomy, radiation, and chemotherapy. These are
the traditional standard care breast cancer treatments supported by the
American cancer society.
My doctor of choice was an
immunologist. The American cancer society now regards immunotherapy as
the fourth way to treat cancer by stimulating a person’s own natural
defenses to fight cancer. One of the most innovative breast cancer
treatments I used was a cancer vaccine made from my own cancerous tumor.
This cancer vaccine is very successful in breast cancer treatments.
Five-element classical
acupuncture was used to treat the spirit level of the cancer and network
spinal analysis was used to teach my brain and nervous system a new
language, changing how my consciousness handled and processed energy and
information (trauma), allowing deep healing to commence. I found
Network Spinal Analysis and Somato Respiratory Integration (SRI)
to be most important in the healing process of the breast cancer
treatments. I learned why these two alternative breast cancer
treatments were so vital and important in my journey to find healing
from the book, The 12 Stages of Healing, by Donald M. Epstein, D.C., in
which he explains that the nerve cells do not regenerate, and it is the
nervous system therefore that coordinates the consciousness of all of
our body tissues. "
Excerpt from the book: Breast Cancer: Death Call or Enlightenment
by Kara Lee Schoonover
I truly wish that everyone could have the
opportunity to experience Network Spinal Analysis care. I had no idea
what kind of changes to expect. I conversed with others in the Dr.
Whelan's office and all had different kinds of healings and experiences
and I wondered if I would have any changes.
My background, I'm a
Registered Nurse (for 40 years); have neck pain and stiffness for 25
years; stiffness if in one position too long; pain in my hands and feet;
breast cancer last year.
Over the years I tried
medication and regular chiropractic treatment. It was good for short
term relief of pain. Several years ago I started on a vitamin regimen,
vegan diet, and meditation became a way of life. I could handle most
situations without much stress, even the breast cancer. I felt
that my life was flowing quite well.
Then I started Network Care
and much to my surprise I have had awesome changes (especially since I
thought I was living in a low stress bubble). I'm in intermediate care
and my spine has changed dramatically. My neck and back is very
flexible and almost painless. I have greater awareness of my body's
needs and requirements.
My body is craving
exercise, which I have started with much more ease than before. My
greatest insight was feeling the side effects of Tamoxifen (anit-cancer
drug). I won't go into details but basically it was draining my
vitality, which I had not recognized before. I have stopped the drug
and feel good about my decision.
On the table I feel my body
and spine dancing to the rhythm of breath, and life energies. It is
true, when we become more flexible everything around us flows. This is
so awesome and it doesn't stop here, as healing is on going. We have no
idea what lies ahead. I love the "now", feel happy and excited and
alive. Thank you so very much. This is truly a beautiful gift.

Carpal
Tunnel
After my first Network treatment for carpal tunnel discomfort I
was able to sleep comfortably for the first time in 6 weeks.
After my second treatment I recognized a larger in-flow of oxygen
into my body. I felt more lively and increased my activity to painting
lessons and piano lessons. Plus I read a lot and engage in group Bible
classes at my house. Praise God for this breakthrough type of treatment
for so many muscular health irregularities.

Colitis/G.I/Digestion
I was diagnosed with
ulcerative colitis when I was in college at UC Berkeley. I have
always taken care of myself and sought the best possible care I could
for myself. I am a strict vegetarian, exercise regularly, meditate,
participate in yoga, receive regular acupuncture treatments, and use
homeopathics when needed. Yet, my colitis still was a problem for me,
especially whenever the things were stressful in my life.
I went to college as a
premed and was valedictorian of my class and was poised to go to medical
school. However, at the last moment I was not keen on the idea of
administering drugs or surgery to the people I would have under my care.
So, I started looking into alternative forms of health care. That's
when I discovered Network Care.
After my first adjustment,
I came home and cried uncontrollably for several hours. My doctor
informed me that this was just my body's way of releasing the stored
stress and energy that it had been storing from past stresses and
traumas. After several months of care, I noticed that my colitis was
no longer an issue at all.
I'm so happy I found
Network Care because its given me my quality of life back..

Despite Prilosec, Tagament, and Pepcid,
I could not stop the pain in my stomach. After 2 long years of
suffering, I was diagnosed as having gastric reflux. A condition that
typically requires surgical intervention. Since Network, I have not
had the need to take the medication. It has been 4 months. But of
greater significance, many of my close friends are under Network
Care...they are also healing! Thank you will never be enough

Thank you for the
experience of Network. Now, after a year of care, I have to tell you
that I not only believe in the concept, but also credit it for curing my
reason for coming in the first place. I had been diagnosed as having
colitis for a number of years. I was under the impression that this
was something that would just get worse with time and that at best be
contained. I had attempted a number of solutions including medications
and changes in food habits and diets but to no avail. I am happy to
report; I have just received a lab test back that reports "No
Active Colitis". Without question, I credit this cure to
Network Care.
Additionally, I can report
that my lower back pains that I had experienced for a number of years
disappeared after a couple of months of adjustments. I have also not
experienced any sickness such as cold's or flu's since I started this
program.

When I started here in
early February I had been passing blood with every bowel movement
since mid-September. Conventional medicine had nothing to tell me except
to take ever-increasing amounts of fiber and water. One to two weeks
after I started Network care, the bleeding just stopped. It came back
for a couple weeks in March, but I took Herb-Lax and then began
acupuncture and it has been gone since.
I was also on Zoloft and
Buspar for anxiety, but neither were doing much for me. I stopped Zoloft
late March, started Nux Vomica (homeopathic) in early April and just
stopped taking Buspar (late April...right before finals!-I'm a first
year law student) and I am so glad I did. I no longer have the
medicated sense of calm with underlying anxiety-instead I have the
underlying sense that I'm in a safe place and I can deal with my anxiety
from there.
In general, I seem to
process things more quickly now. When, I get upset or scared now, I cry
or scream or whatever instead of repressing it and getting a stomach
ache two days later. If I'm sitting with poor posture, my body tells me
right away and just a little adjustment in my back can feel real great.
It's all so much more subtle than I expected and the only effort it
requires is scheduling three sessions per week. Well, that and
convincing doctors that I no longer wanted their medications.

I have noticed incredible
changes in my body, mind, spirit since starting Network. I have noticed
that I feel incredibly free of stress and tension which allows me to be
more spontaneous, loving and compassionate in all I do. My body is
fluid and flexible. I have not needed any prescription
anti-inflammatory or sinus pills and have thrown out all
medication bottles. This was an astounding discovery for me. I've
noticed that I flow with life rather than the past peaks and valleys. I
feel ten years younger and understand the signals from all of me (body
and spirit). It's easier to watch life unfold and enjoy it all. My
spine is straighter and more flexible.
I recovered from a "neck
sprain", which was the result of a serious accident in an incredibly
short period of time, requiring few to no drugs.

I have had a documented
history of low back pain for over 20 years, and have seen a number of
chiropractors, physicians, physical therapists and orthopedic doctors
for relief.
In March 1998, I
experienced an increase of low back pain for which my generalist sent me
to an orthopedic surgeon. His diagnosis included lumbar degenerative
disc at L5-S1 with foraminal encroachment and S1 radiculopathy without
progressive neurologic deficit. Also, chronic abductor tendonitis of the
hip and trochanteric bursitis. He suggested bed rest and NSAIDs. A few
weeks later, I felt sudden sharp pain located in my lower back and
radiated down both legs. My generalist prescribed, Voltarin, Zoloft,
and Zanax and sent me out to go get an epidural injection. Later on, my
doctor told me he thought I was exaggerating my pain, but later a MRI
showed disc degeneration with a 6mm posterior right paracentral and
central disc protrusion. There was an extruded disc protrusion and disc
extrusion laterally displacing the traverse right S1 nerve and possible
impingement of the S1 nerve against the adjacent lamina.
Subsequently, April 1998, a
hemilaminotomy, discectomy, and foraminotomy was done. Because of this I
lost my position of the last ten years of being a Licensed Vocational
Nurse. The loss pain and emotional distress resulted in admission to a
psych hospital for depression and suicide ideation in May 1998. At that
time a psychiatrist prescribed Klonopin, Effexor, and Serzone. I was
also taking Relafen and Robaxin too.
In June 1998, I was
hospitalized again for surgery. I hadn't been able to work or drive
since March and depended on others for support. In September, 1998, I
was recommended disability for "failed back surgery". I was prescribed
a laundry list of medications including Celebrex, Vioxx, Neurotin and
several others.
Due to continued
unexplainable back and leg pain, a second MRI was done. Some areas had
not worsened and some had. I had by this time lost about 20-25 pounds
with loss of muscle mass from lying down so much. I continued to have
depression and wanted to end my life. My vicious cycle of medications
and depression continued.
Continuing back pain took
me to a regular chiropractor and daily adjustments and daily traction
was recommended. I chose not to initiate care. Then, in May 1999 I was
admitted to the emergency room for intractable back pain. While there a
new internist diagnosed me with fibromyalgia and was given various
medications for this. My weight at this point had gone down 50 pounds
since my first surgery. I was depressed and still unable to sit for
more than 3-4 minutes at a time.
A friend told me about
Network Care and Dr. Whelan. On my first appointment, I was unable to
lie down and he had to adjust me standing up. By my second or third
treatment I was able to lie on the treatment table. I started Network
Care with treatments three times weekly.
Since beginning NSA I
have been able to discontinue the antipsychotics, pain medications,
NSAIDs, and antianxiety medications. I have continued with my
Network treatments and have experienced many changes in my physical,
emotional and mental status.
I an now driving my car,
walking, taking computer classes, have gained back 25 pounds, and am
volunteering at the local animal hospital. But, one of the most
significant improvements in my life is changed relationship to the pain
of fibromyalgia and arthritis which I had been diagnosed with for
several years. My pain doesn't run my life. I have a gentle loving
relationship with it and my body. The body of my affairs,
relationships, every day life concerns and marital experience has
dramatically changed for the better. I am no longer impatient, stress
is less and even my sexual relationship with my spouse has improved. I
feel this is a direct result of my Network Care. It has literally given
me my life back. I inform others of Network often and will continue to
refer them.

Kaitlin is amazing (age
4). From the time she was six months old she has spent every other
month on some sort of medication or inhaler. She has been receiving
Network Care for about a month and a half. In that time she has had
no medication of any kind and has been healthier than ever.
Yesterday I asked her if she feels any different since she's been
getting care from Dr. Pierre. She said, "yes, my bones crack a lot by
themselves and it feels so good!" A while later she didn't know I was
watching her but I saw her move and adjust her own back and she let out
a huge sigh of relief. Later that same night she burst into tears. I
asked her what was wrong and she didn't know, she just wanted to cry. I
held her and all she wanted to do was cry. I knew she was having a
wonderful release. I have had some of those myself.
