Pain Management

What causes pain?

Many times the patient has an amino acid (protein building block) deficiency, a hormone deficiency or imbalance, an acute infection such as Lyme’s Disease, fungal like Valley Fever, mycoplasm, or Chlamydia, heavy metal or toxin exposure, or mineral or vitamin deficiency.

Why are injections and pain medications not necessarily the answer to pain problems?

Too often the

pain specialist

will do injections of all kinds before really searching for the cause and cure. The pain specialist likes to do the injections because insurance company pay him a lot of money to do those procedures, and it doesn’t take a lot of thought searching for the true cause of pain. Than there is always drugs; methadone, oxycontin, Percocet, Vicodin, morphine, neurotin,

antidepressants

,

sleeping pills

, anti-anxiety, tranquilizers, seizure medication and anti-inflammatory medications, easier to write a prescription than to search and find a cause and cure. Most of these drugs are highly addicting or have several side effects, effectively preventing patients from returning to their normal life again!

How does DreamBody determine where the pain is coming from?

Extensive

nutritional laboratory testing

may identify an essential amino acid, fatty acid, mineral, or vitamin deficiency. Extensive infectious disease testing could cure pain in many patients. Hormones levels should be brought back to pre-pain levels, high normal levels and don’t except low normal levels.
