I reluctantly have taken it
upon myself to report on the most singular of occurrences in my long and
occurrence filled life. I have been introduced to a form of healing by my good
friend John St. John, which until two weeks ago I would have relegated to a
status somewhere above quackery and just flirting with unintentional fraud. To
be sure, my affectionate nickname for John previously was “the Snake Oil
Peddler”.
Please notice the use of the
past tense, because Brother John has made a Believer out of me. I have had a particularly
tough year, what with diabetes and a long term affliction of Chronic
Lymphocytic Leukemia complicating my medical treatment. I had In May of 2012,
developed an infection in my right big toe, which was treated with what seemed
like every antibiotic known to the Medical Profession. Three weeks later I was
back in the hospital with a case of Shingles in my left eyeball. Justified or
not, I intuitively feel that the onset of the Shingles was precipitated by the
overuse of antibiotics which destroyed my immune system during the toe
infection.
There is nothing like the
pain from Shingles, particularly in the eye. There are 4 distinct modes of suffering:
the skin of the skull which becomes super sensitive to touch, the sores which
develop along the route of the Tri Geminal nerve on the eyebrow and fore head,
the inflammation of the soft tissue surrounding the eye socket and what feels
like an ice pick stuck straight into
your eye. These are the everyday occurrences.
But wait!! There’s more!! It’s
the Big Kahuna of pain. The most incredible pain I
have ever endured lasted only about 12 seconds, but it took an hour to recover
from it. There is a condition known as Tri Geminal Neuralgia in which every
nerve ending, axon and synapse all fire off at the highest level and at the same
time. When this happened to me it was totally unexpected and I fell to the
floor, unable to scream or even move. My wife and our friend Jackie remained with
me until I recovered. I had three such episodes during my stay.
In case you are not familiar
with Shingles, let me characterize it as a most hideous and debilitating
disease. If you have ever had “Chicken Pox” you should be aware that it never
goes away. Instead, it hides in the nerves of your spinal column, just waiting
for an opportunistic chance during a period of weakened immunity or high stress,
to emerge once more as the “Shingles”. I
had always thought that I had a relatively high tolerance for pain, but I was
wrong – Shingles literally brought me to my knees. I won’t go into all of my
trials during the initial critical 2 month period, but I did spend half of that
time at the MD Anderson Cancer Center Hospital in Houston. Those wonderful
caring people provided me with exceptionally thorough and comprehensive care. I cannot thank them enough.
I was released from the
hospital on 7/13/12, although I continue to receive care through day
appointments with the several involved departments including Leukemia, Internal
Medicine / Infectious Disease, Ophthalmology and the Pain Management Clinic. This
latest includes peeing in a bottle which they send off to the Mayo Clinic and a
session with the MDA Pain Management resident shrink.
During my stay and
immediately after my release I was saturated with 5 different opiate class
drugs simultaneously. To wit: Fentanyl 75 mg Pain
Patch, Dilaudid, commonly called Dillies and very powerful (Hydromorphone 40 mg
pill PRN or whenever I feel like it) – These last two substances are really bad
news and very popular with the druggies. Then there is the minor stuff: Lyrica 100 mg X3,
Nortriptyline 25 mg cap and lastly Lidoderm a locally applied pain patch. It is
no wonder that they are having me see a shrink, but thanks to my aversion to
becoming addicted and the watchful eye of my dear sweet wife, I have emerged
from that drug induced fog, hopefully none the worse for wear. Also, as a result of being
off my feet and in a recumbent position for three months we now must add the Lymphedema
folks to the mix of Clinics I am scheduled to attend. Lymphedema is a condition
of localized fluid retention and tissue
swelling caused by a compromised lymphatic system and therein
lies our tale for this week.
Now that you know what is
worrying me, let us bring Brother John into the picture. On Sunday September 2,
2012 my wife Gerry had some business with Kathy, John’s wife, and I went along
for the ride. John was aware of my conditions and naturally made proper inquiry
thereof. Upon hearing my tale of woe he disappeared and emerged quickly with a
device I have since dubbed “The Magic Egg”. It was actually a Nikken® Bi-Axial
PowerMag™ which John promptly placed on my legs that were crossed at the
ankles. We continued our rambling conversation until the girls were finished their
work and joined us. The PowerMag had been working continuously and my wife was
absolutely astounded at what she saw.
My legs (primarily the right)
had been swollen to the point of bursting and yellowish fluid (lymph?) was
weeping out of several angry looking purplish yellow bruised areas. My dermis
was hard, taut and inelastic with a general pimply redness extending from the
bottom of my foot to near my right knee.
I had been under Brother
John’s kind ministrations for a little less than 2 hours and my legs had
undergone a near miraculous transformation. Firstly, the swelling had gone down
to where I could slide my pants leg over the calf. Secondly, my skin was much
more supple and elastic. Thirdly, the purple reddened area had become more
pinkish and had shrunk to about half the original size. Fourthly, my wife had a
near divine communication while watching an angry purple spot on the right side
of my calf (I could not see this without a mirror). At the time she arrived she
observed a lighter spot about the size of a pea within the purple. Over the
next half hour this spot expanded into a white area in the middle of the
corruption to roughly the size of a silver dollar. The next morning there was
the inevitable relapse after the Egg was removed, however, that area is now a
more healthy pinkish red and it continues to shrink and improve.
How the ‘Egg” was able to
produce these results while we were watching, is way beyond me. I do know that
I no longer have that very painful rush of blood and fluids to my legs in the
morning.
Please understand that I am a
confirmed skeptic and I place no credibility on most non-traditional medicine.
I must admit that Brother John made no claims whatsoever– Just try it and see
what happens. Well it happened and I am
convinced. Praise the Lord.
This is only the first
installment of my personal experiences with Nikken products. Brother John has since
introduced me to PiMag Water, EQL inserts, CM Cream and some really nasty tasting
grass stuff.
