Title: Voodoo or fairy tale? Post by Mistory on Aug 16th, 2002, 7:34am Years ago my mother used to suffer what the doc diagnosed as migraines, but they were of the "head-banging" variety, which makes me think they were probably CH. We had an old GP back then, remember those warm and compassionate ones who would spend an hour on an office call even if you were only going to pay him ten bucks? Anyway, my mother went to him in the midst of one of these attacks, and she says he ran something over her back- she didn't see what, and frankly, considering the intensity of pain, it doesn't surprise me she was less than observant- and she felt something like an electrical shock that nearly threw her off the exam table. Doc Ray said: "That's it!" The pain stopped. It never came back. I KNOW this sounds like a fairy tale, but my mother is NOT prone to flights of fancy! Doc Ray is long dead now, and mom still hasn't had a headache since(it's been at least 25 years.) My mother has asked many docs about this phenomenon; no one has ever heard of such a thing or has any idea what Doc Ray did. Surely this old doc didn't have some secret miracle cure that died with him, but if there were really such a thing, this site, and none of us, would be here, right? I'd like to know if anyone has any clue? Did old Doc Ray use voodoo, you suppose? |

Title: Re: Voodoo or fairy tale? Post by TerryS on Aug 16th, 2002, 3:46pm Voodoo maybe. When I was about 7 years old I was hit by a passing car passing a stop school buss. Of course I was rushed to a Doctor our family Doctor. The car had just side swiped me and knocked me down. I seemed Ok or at least for the time. The Doctor checked me over and said my Liver and Spleen were a little swollen but thought I was doing OK. Shortly after that I started falling a sleep in school and the teacher would send me down to the school nurse and she feel my forehead and say you are burning up and take my temperature. My temperature would be below normal and send me home. The Doctors did a blood test and the results were my white blood cells were over taken the red blood cells. The Doctors told my parents I had Leukemia and I had 6 months to a year to live. My parents took me to Doctors everywhere and they all were told the same thing Leukemia. Then my folks took me to a Doctor in Wilkes Barre Pa. There a Doctor started treating me. I had to sit in front of this wooden box that to me looked like and old radio but it had two arms and at the ends of the two arms was a black round disc. I had to sit with one of the disc in front of me and the other in back of me for I guess a half hour. Then the Doctor gave me a shot in vain of my arm. I remembered it cost my folks $10.00 for the treatment and $10.00 for the shot and I had to go two times a week. Back in the mid 50’s that was a lot of money. Today there is no sign of Leukemia in my body. I often wonder was it really Leukemia, could so many Doctors have been so wrong or did this Doctor have a miracle cure that died with him? I guess I will never know……..! TerryS |

Title: Re: Voodoo or fairy tale? Post by firebrix on Aug 17th, 2002, 5:18pm I'd be surprised, but your mother may have met Raymond Royal Rife who used radio (?) frequency machines to treat a multitude of disorders in the 40s and 50s. He worked in San Diego at one time. I have info on him and can suppy if you want it. It's in a book called "Suppresed Inventions and other Discoveries" by scientists who wanted suppressions unsuppressed! For the sceptics, this is just information!!!! firebrix |
