Read the simplified version of Johanna Brandt's remarkable Grape Cure that completely cured her of stomach cancer in the 1920s and enabled her to live another full 40 years.

I was up at 4am one day and it seemed like an eternity before the sun rose. I waited and waited and was rewarded by this awesome sight.

I felt a tingling of excitement at the potential of a new day and all it may bring me.

Over 20 years ago, while in the depths of panic attack despair, I read Claire Weekes' Self Help For Your Nerves.

All she said made perfect sense. She explained what the symptoms were I was experiencing, why they were there and then gave four simple instructions how to get rid of them forever.

Face - Accept - Float - Let time pass

I met Sandi Radomski at the Third European Energy Psychology and Therapies Conference at Oxford 2002.

I had deliberately searched her out as I had read about her fine work and a couple of things were bothering me I thought she could help me with.

Water curing asthma?! If you think about it, it makes sense. You know how drying the wind is on the skin, how it dehydrates and chaps it quite quickly. Well the lungs are made of fragile membrane that dries out very quickly as we breath in and out.

If this tissue is starting to dehydrate the lungs shut down to protect themselves from becoming too brittle, and making sure the body is well hydrated stops this automatic process from kicking in. it makes breathing very difficult and simply making sure the body is well hydrated makes the tight chest of asthmatics and breathing difficulties disappear in most cases.

As far back as 47 AD Scribonius Largus was credited with inventing electrotherapy, first using it on headaches and then treating gout with shocks from a live black torpedo fish. A great deal of the efficacy of his treatment for gout could have been attributed to the numbing which temporarily relieved the pain but it is more probable that the brief shock of electricity enabled the breaking down of uric acid crystals which would then be swiftly eliminated by increased blood flow. In the 18th Century there was a wave of enthusiasm for electrotherapy claiming cures for paralysis, apoplexy, rheumatism and nervous disorders.

I had been treating a client on and off for the last 2 years for her chronic haemorrhoids. Julie had been suffering for nearly 25 years but a recent Reiki attunement had flared them up and she was in severe pain and needed help fast as she was due to go on a long haul flight and was not looking forward to the discomfort.
