Self-Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis

By Roya Monajem, Tehran

“There are no incurable diseases, but incurable people.”

Dr. Bernie Siegel, Love, Medicine, Miracle (1986) and Peace, Love, Healing (1990)

Introduction:

I have spent many years of my life working with Multiple Sclerosis in various ways. As

explained fully in the previous article: Meeting of Western & Eastern medicine, a probable alternative therapy for Multiple Sclerosis, this life-long research has shown that people

suffering from MS have a leak in their vital energy system. In this article I am disclosing

how one can seal and stop this leak. But before that, you first of all need to break through

the solid belief instilled by prevalent western medical knowledge that MS is still

„incurable.‟

To help you in that, I have included the I-Health charts of a group of patients (see the

above article for further information about preliminary studies as well as I-Health

System) which will show you the treated patients‟ unquestionable improvement, in the same

way as various medical pictographs (such as EEG, ECG, MRI, X-ray) can reveal other

details. Unfortunately, the old floppy discs on which I had saved the result of MRIs of the

first group of patients before and after this therapy, showing the disappearance of many

of their original lesions are not retrievable to add more visual proof to these charts to

help you to break your present despairing belief of incurability of MS. They show the

opposite of another prevalent belief that these lesions are irreversible. So they are also

an evidence of the infallible truth that human body, if not hindered by baseless beliefs, has a phenomenal potential to heal itself.

Predisposition

The next step for you is to discover the probable psychological attitudes bringing about

the predisposition to MS.

Based on the old Chinese proverb: Tell me what you eat, and I tell you who you are, after a

few years of deep clinical observation and experience, another version of this proverb was

formed in my mind: Tell me what is your physical illness, and I tell you who you are. I tried

it and it always worked. In other words, there is a direct correlation between our

personalities and the kind of diseases we are prone to. Evidences of this correlation or the

fact that all diseases are indeed psychosomatic, can now be amply found in the “hot

subject of the day,” Mind-Body mutual interaction, holistic medicine, Psycho-neuro-

immunology.

MS Personality, the seed:

As you all know MS is an autoimmune disease. What actually happens in the body is that by

some unknown mechanism, parts of one‟s central nervous system (the myelin sheath or

insulator of the nerves to be more exact) is taken as some external threatening

pathological factor and is thus attacked by one‟s defence-immune system. Putting it in

ordinary language, it is like declaring war on oneself.

Why?

What does actually happen in life to prepare the proper psychosomatic (mind-body) bed

for reaching such a stage to become the “victim” of a disease like MS, or any other serious

illness?

To find the possible answers to this question, not only I treated a large group of patients

as a research-oriented acupuncture practitioner, befriending and getting intimate with as

many as possible, to be able to enter their living environment, socialize with their

immediate family, etc, but held monthly seminars at my home for them, inviting various

professional friends working in other fields of medical treatments, from veteran

physiotherapists, to psychologists, psychiatrists, nutritionists to recovered MS patients.

Unfortunately, our request to establish the first MS society in Iran (1987-8) at that time

was denied and I was told to immediately stop those monthly seminars by the

corresponding authorities!1 To fill up the void, I published a book titled, Disease: A Message of Life (1990), containing the basic materials published by the international

federation of MS societies of the time, from diet, to special physical exercises prescribed

for different stages of MS, in addition to a few constructive articles written by patients,

as well as an article of how meditation and yoga can help and how patients can organize

self-help groups (advised by MS federation) and finally my own article explaining the title

of the book.

This first phase of my intensive research on MS revealed the following about MS

Personality.

The first observation was that nearly all MS sufferers are born to a stern, severe, serious

(if not autocratic) father, later replaced by a husband, or a mother, later a wife of the

same type.

Actually, we can say that this is no rare pattern. Parents tend to be authoritarian all the

time and everywhere, expecting their children to obey. The normal pattern however is that

when there is a difference of opinion, view, outlook, an open conflict or fight breaks out

with the result of one side giving in or both sides modifying their views to some extent

with the outcome of reconciliation until the next dispute. In case of MS personality, what

Page 3: Self-Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis - Payvand.compayvand.com/.../11/sep/MS-Self-treatment-by-Roya-Monajem.pdf · 2011-09-07 · Self-Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis By Roya Monajem,

happens is that such personalities –consciously and unconsciously - sternly and firmly keep

their own opinions inside, even though they pretend and make others believe that they

have given in to others‟ reasoning and logic. This peculiar inflexibility reflects in spastic

rigid muscles. Another nuance of this personality comprising a much smaller group is

showing the other side of the same coin; that is, a peculiar kind of exaggerated flexibility,

changing one‟s opinions in a flash of a second, agreeing with whomever one happens to talk,

no matter how contradictory the opinions may be. This attitude is reflected in flaccid

muscles. Lack of equilibrium here is also normally higher than the first group (like a tree

shaking with every passing breeze, while the other hardly shaking even with raging

tempests).

Possible Biological Consequences of Suppressed Emotions

When conflicts are not talked out, they are turned inward and internalized. Any dispute,

conflict or fight is naturally always accompanied with dominant emotions of anger, hatred,

revengefulness and guilt feeling which when kept inside, they begin to build up in silence.

This is the scene at home and there is no doubt that they are strengthened by other

negative emotions produced in other areas of life, from school to work, depending on the

age.

And what are emotions?

Like everything in our bodies, they are some kind of matter, some chemical substances, as

coarse as molecules or as fine as thoughts?

And as this „matter‟ is constantly being built up, on reaching a certain „mass,‟ it will

naturally be identified as a foreign entity by our defence- immune system, which thereby

is immediately mobilized to destroy this foreign entity or chemicals, as when some

microbes enter the body, or a blood clot is formed in a vessel. Do you see what happens?

Built up unexpressed Emotions = Some Mass = identified as a Foreign Body by the Immune

System = emergency call = bombardment of the „foreign body‟ which are biological

particles or molecules

What is released chemically at the end of this attack of our immune system upon this

„foreign body‟ again is certain other chemical substances and particles, with various

properties; some might show a great affinity to some cells of the body and on finding the

chance to combine with them, before being extracted as any other harmful by-product or

waste, they can make these cells cancerous. Others may show great liking to, for example

some molecules of the soft insulator of our nerves called myelin sheath and hook

Page 4: Self-Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis - Payvand.compayvand.com/.../11/sep/MS-Self-treatment-by-Roya-Monajem.pdf · 2011-09-07 · Self-Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis By Roya Monajem,

themselves to them when passing by them on the way of their expulsion. This new

combination of those chemicals and the myelin sheath is again rightly identified as a

„foreign formation‟ by the immune system and thus attacked again. Then depending on to

what nerves these damaged myelin sheaths belong, the corresponding signs of the disease

called Multiple Sclerosis are manifested.

The symptoms may include, a strange fatigue (virtually the only shared common symptom),

a short period of diplopia (double vision), and/or the feeling of pins and needles in one or

both lower or higher extremities, for a day and then forgotten for the rest of life. Or

they may continue with additional symptoms ... until a neurologist diagnoses the dis-eases

as MS.

From what it is said above, no matter what the other causative factors maybe, this is

where you can play a vital role in your self-treatment, to become aware of such

personality, and the price you are paying for it which can give you the impetus to begin to

work on it and discharge that „foreign mass‟ of negative emotions.

Mental Work

1) Get a white piece of paper, draw a line in the middle and on one side write all the

negative effects of MS on your life, such as dependency, losing opportunities, this and

that and on the other side write the lessons you have learnt as the result (the realization

of the fact that nothing is more important and serious in life than our health and well-

being), the qualities you have developed (patience, as another for example), anything that

you have discovered and learnt which you couldn‟t and wouldn‟t if you did not catch MS.

Give yourself a week or so to complete it. In other words, keep going back to it and see if

you can add more to each column. The more comprehensive your list, the more results you

would see. The negative side, the pains and sufferings are better known than the lessons

learnt or qualities developed.

2) Make a list of the people who have offended you in life and you feel resentment if not

hatred toward them. Then write a letter to them and pour out in anyways you like, even

curse and swear if you like, shout and cry as much as possible through the words you bring

on paper and once finished, tear up the letter with anger into pieces or burn it, with the

hearty wish to be freed of it.

3) Write down all your guilt feelings and see how you can forgive yourself for them. Again

take your time. Have the list complete within a week, but the ways of forgiving make take

Page 5: Self-Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis - Payvand.compayvand.com/.../11/sep/MS-Self-treatment-by-Roya-Monajem.pdf · 2011-09-07 · Self-Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis By Roya Monajem,

much longer. It is said, we are our worst judge and persecutor. Yet, if you wish to find a

way with all your being, you can be sure that you will achieve it.

4) What are the qualities or attributes of your ideal personality, your hero? After

completing the list, see which one of these attributes have already been developed in you

as the result of MS. Is patience one of the attributes? What about having a good

understanding of others, sympathy...?

5) What are the possible gains of MS? Maybe the autocratic controlling father-mother-

husband-wife is now less manipulative and violent? Maybe now you feel more confident that

your spouse will not leave you? Maybe you are not expected to do what you never liked to

do, but silently kept doing? Maybe you are given more space and freedom now? Maybe....???

What would be the expected result of all this work?

Awareness is the first step in any healing. By the above mental work, that mass of negative

emotions begins to dissolve and eventually reach the size that the immune system can get

rid of the molecules of the above negative emotions, before they find the chance to

accumulate to form a „mass‟ and then be attacked by the immune system and produce

chemicals which in turn can combine with other molecules of the body and make them

pathological. In other words, after the first attack of the disease, which is naturally

accompanied by a lot of attention, concern and love coming from the surrounding dear

ones, the original emotional mass is dissolved in two ways. 1) physically (bodily), by the

immune system breaking it down, 2) mentally, as pain and suffering is on one hand –

conscious and unconscious self-punishment, making up for one‟s guilt feelings, and on the

other hand – it is an unconscious form of retribution, making up for all that built up anger,

hatred, revenge and thus discharging them at least for the time being (one of the worst

things for parents and spouses is to see their children or spouse critically sick).

With discharge of the emotional mass in the above two ways no more substance (s) with

affinity or dislike to myelin sheath will be produced by the normal functioning of the

immune system. Gradually, the primarily damaged myelin sheaths can regenerate as well

and you will recover. This is when what is called spontaneous remission occurs which by

changing one‟s basic attitude it can become permanent. This is what is in one‟s power. On

the other hand, with the help of this therapeutic device, as the leakage in the energy

system is stopped, the typical MS fatigue disappears and together with it the

accompanying depression and despair which is now proved to have pathologically harmful

effects on our immune system. Now with this new energy and hope one can play a more

active role in one‟s further self-healing.

As Nietzsche says: What doesn‟t kill me makes me stronger.

Self-treatment Device

Buy an alkaline watch (see figure 1) around 1 cm in diameter. Then from an ordinary

electricity wire, cut a piece of about 6cm in length. You can burn one end to bare the

filaments and then pull them out. Then twist them firmly around each other. With a small

piece of tape stick it from the middle on the positive side of the battery (figure 2), so

that the filaments stretch out equally from both ends. Find the top of your head, called

crown chakra, or acupuncture point Du 20, by putting your thumbs on the highest point of

your ear auricles, and hold your head in your palms. The point where your middle fingers

touch each other on the skull right along the tip of your nose will be the point you need to

put the battery on. Push aside the hair from this area as much as possible and then put the

negative side of the battery over it. The wire filaments will be outside. With a good

bandage tape stick the battery on the skin of the skull. The tape should be large enough to

cover the whole device, the battery and wires, (figure 3). Make sure that the free ends of

the filaments are in contact with the skin of your skull.

In this way you are making an artificial electromagnetic field with your body completing

the circuit, bridging over the main leakage point.

Figure 1. Watch battery, around 1cm in diameter

Figure 2, battery with the filaments taped on it Figure 3, The device covered completely with bandage tape.

I left one end of the filaments out to make the photo more meaningful. You

should use a longer tape to make sure that it has good firm contact with the skin

of the skull

Page 7: Self-Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis - Payvand.compayvand.com/.../11/sep/MS-Self-treatment-by-Roya-Monajem.pdf · 2011-09-07 · Self-Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis By Roya Monajem,

It is necessary to wash your hair before applying this device as you are to keep the

battery on the point for a whole week without removing it. So, in the mornings when you

wake up and every now and then and when necessary run your fingers over the tape

covering the device, to make sure that the contact is intact. Don‟t wash your hair or get it

wet for a week. Wear a plastic cap when taking your daily shower. At the end of the week,

remove the device and wash your hair. Once your hair is dry, remove the old tapes from

the battery and if filaments look rusty or whatever, replace them too and proceed as

explained above. Apply the device for 4 consecutive weeks. The battery will last for quite

a few weeks and you don‟t need to get a new battery. In this way you will wear the device

for at least 5 whole weeks. Experience shows that the leak is sealed after this period. The

first symptom disappearing is the fatigue, then urinary symptoms and…

Depending on severity of your conditions, you can use the device for two months. Then

stop using it for a month and apply it again if your fatigue re-appears. In the same way

that we take an analgesic when we have headache for example, you can use this device

whenever you feel something is again not working properly inside. Fatigue is the best

criterion as it is common in all and if you prevent that you can stop any possible attack or

slow deterioration.

Caution:

Out of the about 200 people who have used this device, two bald men showed sensitivity to

the battery and had to remove it. In the case of sensitivity of skin, we have to wait until

this now „undeveloped device‟ is improved in the hands of medical engineers. Compare the

first pace-makers to the present ones!!! I was hoping the I-Health company to invest on it,

but they had no extra fund for it, considering the fact that it is a new system and thus

not well-known yet.

Other than that there was no other side-effect. After all, it is only a watch battery.

Attention

1) In acupuncture it is said, „disease leaves the body in the reverse way that it entered it

first.‟

You might feel a sharp endurable pain for a short period of times (longest would be 20

minutes) every now and then during the treatment. The reason is that like a river blocked

by some stones, once your energy resumes its circulation in a more intensified way, it

builds up behind the blockage like water accumulating behind the stone. That is when the

Page 8: Self-Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis - Payvand.compayvand.com/.../11/sep/MS-Self-treatment-by-Roya-Monajem.pdf · 2011-09-07 · Self-Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis By Roya Monajem,

pain appears, then comes a moment when the accumulated energy is strong enough to push

forward and thus remove the blockage, and the pain will stop. So in case of experiencing

these short lived sometimes quite sharp pains which you had not before, do not get

alarmed or worried. Quite contrary, this is a good sign that your body is responding well to

the treatment.

2) You might experience some state that might appear to be like an attack. Be patient, as

this will not last for more than 3 days and it is a very good sign showing that the disease is

leaving your body. Several patients actually did experience this and at first took it for a

real attack and it seemed they have lost all the improvement they had gained as the result

of using the therapeutic device. But after 3 days when the condition subsided, they were

back to where they were, regaining one again their initial improvements (see the case of

FF below). Their cases proved the above acupuncture therapeutic warning that disease will

leave the body in the reverse order.

3) More than 200 people have already tried this device and my daughter is continuing this

therapy with the same promising results on new patients. So far there has been not a

single case of a real attack happening during the treatment period, even though several

experienced the state mimicking attacks as mentioned above. Unfortunately, but

understandably even a simple flue can inspire fear in patients, particularly when under an

alternative treatment. This is to emphasize that in the same way that wearing a watch

with a battery in it, has never generated an attack in you, this device can not be the cause of an attack or any harmful side-effects either.

I-Health System

I highly recommend finding out if you have any I-Health system practitioner in your

neighbourhood to enhance the effects of your self-treatment device. Although as

explained in more details in the aforementioned article above, for the first group of

patients, I applied only this device with no other additional treatment, and still obtained

the same promising results. Nevertheless, regarding the increasing complexity of our

mental constitution, I-Health system can not only help you to see your improvements

visually too, but it can fortify and solidify the effects as it has several other advantages.

I-Health „quick scan‟ program gives another set of unique information about other probable

pathogenic factors – such as accumulation of chemical toxins (bacterial, parasitic or viral),

excessive exposure to electromagnetic waves due to one‟s profession, place of residence

and work, nutritional imbalances and allergies, psychological neural, and immunological

factors, etc. In fact, its library of possible additional pathological causes is incredibly rich

and thus immensely helpful.

I-Health Core Belief program which reveals childhood traumatic experiences can be seen

as a real breakthrough in the field of psychiatry. Imagine finding your determining

Page 9: Self-Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis - Payvand.compayvand.com/.../11/sep/MS-Self-treatment-by-Roya-Monajem.pdf · 2011-09-07 · Self-Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis By Roya Monajem,

childhood traumas, the origin of one‟s major negative attitudes towards one‟s self, one‟s

life, one‟s reality in a single session and replace it with positive ones! Sounds unbelievable

as I thought when I first learnt about it. But once I tried it on myself, close relatives and

friends and later on MS patients in their last treatment session when I knew much more

about their psycho-somatic history, it helped to solve so many puzzles in regard to all of

us.

There will soon be an article on I-Health web-site covering the MS treatment protocol I

am suggesting for I-Health practitioners who are interested to work on MS. So if you

manage to find such a practitioner in your area, ask them to look at this article.

Conclusion

You don‟t need to wait though. You can begin your self-treatment as soon as you get the

battery and prepare the device. Begin the mental work immediately. We need to approach

body- mind simultaneously. Diseases fall on us when our body-mind equilibrium and harmony

break down. All diseases have a multi-factorial cause and must be treated multifactorially.

This is the true meaning of holistic view.

Do not stop your medication, but begin to cut it down under the advice of your physician as

you experience your improvements.

Remissions point to a healthy immune system. Thus long term use of any drugs suppressing

immune system merely for the fear of possible future attacks, while we know that there

can be no attacks in the future, is what the above mentioned Persian Proverb suggest:

Falling into the caldron out of the fear of not getting a share of the food.

If any attack does happen, then the traditional corticosteroids therapy is at present still

the best choice because by now we at least know much more about this effective medicine

than all these new colorful drugs with their quite unknown long term effects on the majority which unfortunately can take away the chance of remission from patients too.

Now to break your belief in the false belief of incurability of MS, and the resulting

depression and despair, glance through the following case histories with their I-Health

Charts.

A sample of I-health Charts showing patients improvements

Page 10: Self-Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis - Payvand.compayvand.com/.../11/sep/MS-Self-treatment-by-Roya-Monajem.pdf · 2011-09-07 · Self-Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis By Roya Monajem,

Below you find a sample of results (seven out of at least initial forty patients treated)

obtained using the therapeutic device in conjunction with I-Health system.

As mentioned above the innovated device creates an artificial electromagnetic field which

helps to seal the leakage in the energy system of the body. Five weeks are usually

sufficient for that.

To make the article as short as possible, I don‟t find it necessary to explain what these I-

Health charts are and how they are produced. What you need to know is that each bar

shows the quality of vital energy (qi) in acupuncture channels, each connected to a

corresponding inner organ. The bars should be between the two upper black zigzag

horizontal lines which when they do, they appear as green bars. Blue bars (not reaching the

lower horizontal line) mean, deficiency, impaired or organic disorder while Red bars (over-

passing the upper horizontal curve) indicate excessive energy, hyperactivity, or

inflammation.

Before moving to actual presentation of the results, it is necessary to mention an

important point taking the charts of the patient called FF as an example (see below). As it

can be seen, his charts do not show any major improvement in the first few weeks, despite

the recovery he was showing in relation to his speech, tremors, urinary urgency, etc. This

kind of charts is seen mostly in patients who are under immunosuppressive treatment or

used it for years. The approach brings a Persian proverb to mind: Fearing not to get any

share of the food, he/she fell in the cauldron. In other words, in an attempt to prevent

possible future attacks which may never happen, the therapy can deprive patients of the

spontaneous natural remission seen in MS patients.

Last Comment

MS patients have proved to be the least cooperative patients in my experience in their

self healing. It can be due to their despair in assuming that their disease is incurable. As

mentioned before, the only area which this treatment has failed is in regard to locomotion

system, where patients‟ cooperation in spending a greater time on physical exercises is

absolutely and unquestionably imperative. How else can a weak muscle improve other than

making it work? This is a question that I have constantly asked myself since the day I

began this research some twenty five years ago and confronted patients‟ adamant non-

cooperation in this regard. In the second group of patients that I tried this treatment, I

asked a physiotherapist friend to carry out the relevant physical therapy musculo-skeletal

assessment on the patients which showed improvement in nearly all of them, and this could

be observed by us as therapists and even their close relatives, while the subjective feeling

of patients was that they do not feel any better in this regard! A puzzle that I have not

Page 11: Self-Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis - Payvand.compayvand.com/.../11/sep/MS-Self-treatment-by-Roya-Monajem.pdf · 2011-09-07 · Self-Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis By Roya Monajem,

been able to solve to this day. How come the test shows an improvement, we see them

walking better for example, while patients themselves cannot experience it?

In any case, I strongly suggest to begin physical therapy after a week of using this

treatment. The more you feel your improvements, the more encouraged you will be.

I would like to express my deep gratitude to Dr. Iraj Rouindej who initiated me into the

world of Acupuncture and his constant support and encouragement, and to Ms. Narges

Mazandarani who could see auras and approved my findings with the first group of patients

about the presence of the leak in the energy system (aura) of patients and the

effectiveness of the device in sealing it.

Case Studies

1} MG

History

A 50 years old married educated lady with two sons 26 and 29.

The first attack occurred four years before the date of this first session after the tragic

death of a younger brother. Before that incidence she lost a younger sister 28 years of

age who had contracted an apparently very aggressive MS. No wonder, she too had lost a

brother, plus other harshness she had experienced since her teenage years. Because of

that MG has refused to undergo medical therapy after her first hospitalization at the

time of the first attack. She was an avid reader of new age literature and positive

thinking, forbidding the family and friends to see her as a victim and meditated regularly.

Present symptoms:

Spastic right foot, urinary urgency, difficulty in walking, mild speech weakness.

the heaviness of feet is not improving, but on the whole she says there are hours that she

can walk much better. In fact this is the only symptom still existing. She is very satisfied

with the treatment, happy that her urinary problem has disappeared and feels invigorated.

Follow ups

Now only let the graphs talk

7th session

Herbal medicine was prescribed for her liver, as not only the I-Health reading is low for

this channel, but her spasticity has not showed much improvement.

The only change she noticed herself was that her fatigue has decreased. She has a

healthier complexion.

The follow up graphs show the improvement. It should be added that as there are two

energy channels for each organ, if one shows deficiency (blue) and the other hyperactivity

(red), it means the body is at work to bring the two back into equilibrium. This is what you

see in regard to bladder (B) above. Similarly when only one channel shows deficiency and

the other is normal, the condition is not critical in anyways.

History

symptoms began 12 years ago, progressive disequilibrium, eye problem, tremor more on the

right side, speech problem, incontinence. After trying all conventional treatments,

including the present vogue of immunosuppressive therapy for the past 5 years, not

experiencing any improvement, he stopped all medications since 3 months ago.

2n d session

The fatigue has improved. Tremors have noticeably decreased

3rd session

feels he has more control over urinary function since yesterday. Despite his tremor of his

hands, he can do useful work. Speech improvement, the voice has more force

No apparent locomotor improvement. Feels he has less problem in equilibrium and urinary

urgency.

6th session:

In reply to whether he has noticed any changes, his reply as usual is negative, but after

much delving, it becomes apparent that he now wakes up only once during the night instead

of 6-7 times before starting the treatment! How is it possible that a patient doesn‟t

notice such a great change?

His tremors are noticeably improved, he can now actually do buttons even though with

great difficulty, yet again he does not see all these changes.

7th session:

Urinary control is improving also is nystagmus, particularly when reading. His intentional

tremors noticeably improved (about 20 % left), but no improvement in the intense flexion

of the right knee

Follow ups

Because of his chronic grave conditions, I continued his treatment with I-Health System,

alone. I regret that I did not use the battery for longer time, to see if it could help more.

The intention was to keep the same treatment plan for everybody.

Although the charts do not still show any noticeable improvement in the energy system of

the body, yet his intentional tremors, flexion of the right leg and urinary and speech

dysfunctions are improving. Why we don‟t see all this improvement in the charts is an

enigma.

8th session

Surprised by the kind of flat blue bars seen in all his charts, we later found out that this

is true for all patients who have been or are under the new vogue of immunosuppressive

therapy. They signify complete blockage in circulation of energy.

Page 24: Self-Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis - Payvand.compayvand.com/.../11/sep/MS-Self-treatment-by-Roya-Monajem.pdf · 2011-09-07 · Self-Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis By Roya Monajem,

9th Session

From here we start seeing noticeable changes in his charts. He was elated to see a green

bar finally appearing in his charts. Has his belief in incurability of his illness been shaken,

hopefully too?

10th session

With more green bars appearing, his body is regaining its normal function which can be

blocked by thoughts as it is in this case.

Page 25: Self-Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis - Payvand.compayvand.com/.../11/sep/MS-Self-treatment-by-Roya-Monajem.pdf · 2011-09-07 · Self-Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis By Roya Monajem,

11th Session

He had suffered from a very bad flue with high temperature which led to deterioration of

his urinary function and he was scared that it might be a sign of a new attack, but once he

got over his flue, his urinary dysfunction was improved too. Once again he only wakes up

once during the night, and sometimes not at all. This is something worth emphasis. When

patients are under any types of acupuncture-based-treatments, they do not lose functions

when they get seriously ill. That‟s why in his case and in other patients, I came to see them

as recovery reaction of the body.

12th Session

Indeed promising results. But why can‟t he see and believe in that? Does he really wish to

recover? He has been procrastinating doing his mental work „homework‟ all this time, as

though not wishing to go beyond his anger, revenge, hatred, etc. His hatred toward his

father is immense and it is evident that he doesn‟t like to forgive him. He doesn‟t do any

physical exercises either. In one word, he has almost no participation in his own healing.

13th Session

14th Session

The flexion of the right leg is bad again, as he does not do any exercises during the day.

No further improvement in his intentional tremor and other locomotion functions due to

same reasons. Nevertheless, the general improvement in his energy charts is very

encouraging. One wonders where does this energy go, what is it spent on? On his

unconscious resistance to heal? Maybe also on keeping his belief in Western Medicine as a

doctor? Believes are like heavy drug addictions; extremely hard to quit and withdraw. He

underwent another great trauma during this time too; his fiancé broke up with him.

4. N. V

History

47 years old married woman with two grown up children. MS began five years ago with

losing sensation in both feet up to vagina. Last year she underwent bladder operation to

ameliorate her incontinence. Repulsion to heat. Restlessness at nights and complains of

nightmares. Great craving for sweets, specially ice-cream and overweight.

nights, but started to feel better since yesterday. in general less nightmares. less fatigue.

3rd session

suffers from restlessness at nights from 10pm for half an hour or so but does not see it

necessary to take any analgesic for it anymore. urinary incontinence is continuing

(probably due to previous surgery). herbal medicine prescribed for her insomnia, and

5th session

suffered from insomnia for 3 nights after treatment, did not take her herbal medicine

during these nights either, but once she started them, the symptoms disappeared and

sleep improved. Urinary problem slightly improved (lack of improvement can be due to

previous surgery of bladder), and she is losing weight alright. She is happy that she is not

using chemical drugs and her state is improving, well documented by her I-Health charts.

Page 32: Self-Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis - Payvand.compayvand.com/.../11/sep/MS-Self-treatment-by-Roya-Monajem.pdf · 2011-09-07 · Self-Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis By Roya Monajem,

She is going through a deep turmoil with her children which can explain the fall in her

energy levels due to her deep depression. Fear and anxiety are emotions related to Kidney

and Bladder, thus no wonder that the fall of energy is most pronounced in bladder

channels.

As her primary symptoms have all improved there was no need for further follow ups. She

called a year later to say that she is fine with no signs of MS.

extremities and aversion to humid heat.

8th Session

Finally, her energy level is reaching the upper horizontal lines. Considering how chronic her

MS is, the slow course of improvement is not strange. That is why we added to her follow

up sessions. To make sure that her leakage has been sealed and there would be no

regression.
