Title: weirdest treatment option
Post by talitha on Nov 1^st, 2002, 6:50pm

Okay, what's the very weirdest treatment you have tried? I saw a chiropractor who tried to adjust my teeth :o a massage therapist/shaman who said he saw a black dog spirit rise out of my head ::) and an AF doctor who gave me seconals :P. Need i say that none of the above did anything except mess with my serenity.

I still like the lady who claimed that a hunk of bleu cheese under her tongue and a vinigar bath stopped her headaches.

Can't compete with the bleu cheese and vinegar-but I had the first 2 doctors give me eye drops and sleeping pills! While I knew in my mind these were not going to work-I did it to humor them so I could move on. Eventually they sent me to a good neurologist who knew immediately what I had. It took a while from there-but she saved me. ??? ??? ???

Dr. Echo's TCPTT

It works best when applied via a visegrip.

Post by echo on Nov 4^th, 2002, 4:18pm

Hello Blindeye.
Yes it is true that the bastard paid me a visit for several days. The meathead lulled me in to this false sence of security that he had lost my address. Wrong.
I'm doing better now. Shadows and low Kippers presently. Hope the beast moved on.

Back 1994 My massage therapist told me I should see a "medicine man" from some tribe ???please note that I am not native american...anyway, said Medicine man is also a psychologist who has me take the MMPI (700 questions designed to screw up your mind) , charged me $75 and then suggests that I try holotropic breathwork. For those who have never heard of this process, it involves rapid deep breathing while blindfolded and listening to very loud drumming. It is supposed to give access to the "cosmic unconscious". Anyway, its alot of new age BS but i was willing to go for it. Medicine Man said that it could reveal the source of the beast. So a group of 8 women (odd that there were only women there) met at the MMs retreat.
Okay, I have to digress for a minute, cause you guys don't know much about me...many moons ago, I was a hippie, featured in High Times for grafting Marijuana and corn ::)have since gone clean and sober by the grace of God. just thought you should know that since it relates to this story.
The guy who developed holotropic breathwork did so because the government wouldn't let him do anymore experiments with LSD. So this is suppossed to be a trip.
It was. Didn't get rid of headaches but the MM said I had "big medicine" and should use my powers for good :o ::)
If I have such big medicine why can't I find a cure for these ###headaches?

Title: Re: weirdest treatment option
Post by BobG on Nov 7^th, 2002, 12:02pm

LMAO :D
grafting Marijuana and corn?

Would that be pot-on-the-cob?

MaryJane-on-the-maise?

up-date to this message:
see a medicine man from some tribe
try holotropic breathwork
give access to the cosmic unconscious
These are going on my list above.

Post by talitha on Nov 8^th, 2002, 3:06pm

Bob,
figured we could use the cobs for pipes, pop the kernels, and smoke the leaves. ;Didn't work. But it was fun. Ah, the good old days, when life was simple, when I was simple (minded), before clusters.
thanks for adding to your already extensive list.
here's a couple more...
ear candling
high colonics
cayanne pepper
