New
Roots of Chronic Pain Discovered: Clear the Emotions, Clear the Pain
San
Francisco, CA (PRWEB) -- A groundbreaking new treatment for fibromyalgia is successful
because it addresses the emotional and physical trauma that is believed to be
at the root of this chronic illness. According to the National Institutes of Health,
Many people associate the development of fibromyalgia with a physically
or emotionally stressful or traumatic event, such as an automobile accident.
EFT
is a do-it-yourself acupressure treatment that targets chronic pain by addressing
these traumatic and emotional roots. There are no drugs involved and most fibromyalgia
sufferers can find relief using EFT on their own.
Gary
Craig, the Stanford-trained engineer who developed EFT, worked with Vietnam War
Veterans to help them resolve some of their traumatic memories. Says Craig, In
the course of applying EFT, the Veterans experienced profound emotional peace
for the first time in 20 years. A side-benefit was that many of the men reported
that their chronic physical pain diminished or disappeared along with their emotional
pain. Soon we were successfully applying EFT with people who were suffering chronic
pain from arthritis, back injury and even fibromyalgia. Emotional and physical
relief tend to go hand-in-hand when doing EFT.
Bestselling
author and natural health advocate, Dr. Joseph Mercola uses EFT in his medical
practice. In my experience fibromyalgia is nearly always related to some
severe emotional trauma that establishes a series of potentially devastating physical
processes, which frequently incapacitate the person. Dr. Mercola did EFT
with a patient whose fibromyalgia prevented her from sitting without pain for
three years. As a result, shed been unable to travel by plane to visit her
family for several years.
Mercola
continues, Within several minutes the EFT was able to completely and permanently
eliminate her pain. Most of her pain was related to the sadness of not seeing
her family, the stress and trauma of the accident that caused the pain and her
need to forgive the driver of the truck that hit her. EFT neutralized the
sadness, anger and trauma and eliminated the physical pain.
Craig
explains, To me, fibromyalgia and most other physical ailments are merely
bodily manifestations or symptoms of unresolved fear, trauma, rejection, anger,
guilt and other emotional causes. Take care of the emotional causes and the physical
symptoms tend to fade.
EFT
is a modern version of acupuncture that has been used for 5,000 years to treat
emotional and physical ailments. It combines gentle fingertip tapping on key acupuncture
points while focusing on physical or emotional issues. Says Craig, It consistently
provides relief to fibromyalgia and chronic pain sufferers where painkillers,
antidepressants and even acupuncture have failed. EFT consistently helps fibromyalgia
patients improve their disordered sleep, overcome fatigue and clear brain fog.
Estimates
indicate that 3 to 6 million Americans suffer from fibromyalgia and 80 to 90 percent
of those sufferers being women. Most fibromyalgia patients learn about EFT
after they have been through years of expensive conventional medical treatment
for their symptoms, explains Craig. Many feel hopeless and worn down
from their search for relief. My goal is to have EFT presented as part of the
first line of treatment available to people with chronic pain conditions, rather
than the last resort. To this end, I am offering the EFT Manual as a free download
from the EFT website.
Over
300,000 have downloaded Craigs free training manual and another 10,000 download
it each month. The official EFT Manual has been translated by volunteer practitioners
into nine languages.
