profilax update -DeeAnn

One night while I was sleeping I was awakened with severe pain in my left foot and ankle.  This past May, I broke my left ankle and I experienced a lot of pain in the metatarsal area on the top of my foot between the ankle and toes in addition to the ankle pain.  I had sprained the right foot as well at that same time.  Anyway, I woke up in the middle of the night and my left foot was really hurting.  I could barely stand to move it.  I gingerly rolled on to my side and carefully positioned my foot so that it was protected by the blankets.  It felt like it did when it had been broken.  In the morning, upon awakening the pain was totally gone!  I was really surprised!  I also noticed that the bunnion on my right big toe prior to the profilax would be dry and hard.  After each shower I would scrap it and try to get some of it off. About 2 weeks after the profilax it was quite soft and rubbed off with the towel.  Likewise the small bunnion on my left little toe has almost disappeared!  My skin was quite dry and itchy before and it is much better.  

Since last I recorded what's been happening I have experienced several things.  One day while at school I got a pain in the middle of my but cheek.  I was having difficulty getting up and down and walking for a few hours.  Later that day the pain was gone.  I also have felt tension in my neck and shoulder muscles periodically but, they seem to come and go rather than stay for days.  I have been sleeping better without waking up with a dry mouth.  Before I guess I snored a lot but my husband reports that has almost disappeared!  I am feeling more rested in the mornings.  There have also been a few mornings when I have gotten up that my hips feel a little stiff and like I am about 90 years old.  However, after walking around a little it disipates.  I have had more energy to do things in the afternoons after coming home from work.  Before I would come home make dinner, do a few errands and be ready to just rest for the remainder of the evening.  I have been plagued with neck and shoulder pain for years, and I am enjoying the process of those days being shorter in duration and also less frequent.  In years past working in the schools and being around sick kids I would be getting sick quite often.  This year I have felt a few syptoms, taken airborne and haven't had to miss any work!  I think this is a great benefit.  About ten years ago with all the stress in my life I got mono and was down in bed for about a month.  My immune system was really compromised and I have been working hard to build and strengthen it ever since.  Inspite of all the things I was doing I would still get sick several times each year.  So far this year I am still illness free!  I am looking forward to the continued process of the profilax treatment results as it runs its course.  It is great to be feeling better!

I am excited to see how the profilax treatment will help our daughter and grandchildren as well.  They both expressed how painful it was for them to experience the initial treatment.  But, they both have expressed how much better they feel.  Next month we are scheduled to have to more grandchildren done.   

My daughter and grandson

Yes, I talked my daughter and grandson into experiencing the profilax treatment. I took them to see Troy just last Saturday November 22. I talked to them last night and they both feel that their atlases are in. 

My grandson's shoulders have been off for years and through the years I have tried many things to keep his spine in alignment, all the same things that I tried for myself: the usual chiropractic and massage plus other things that I learned, but none of them would work without constant effort and care. Now I was able to give him (with Troy's help) this gift that will literally last a life time.

I was talking to my grandson last saturday evening about what he experienced and he said it hurt more than I had described to him, he told me that at one point he almost turned around and hit troy. But like having a baby once you are holding the baby you don't really remember the pain as much. There was a large mirror behind me and I asked him to stand up and look in the mirror at his shoulders and he could see that they were straight and he asked me if the profilax treatment did that and from that moment on the memory of the pain was leaving him and he was happy he did it.

My daughter will be posting her own feelings tomorrow when she comes over for thanksgiving because I'll set her down and say, "write". But I was there and watched and heard her comments and reactions. So I'll say a few things about her experience. 

She described her daily experience as being a constant headache from the tension she was feeling in her head, neck and shoulders. She said the only time she would find relief was when she was sleeping. I cried when I heard her telling Troy these things and felt gratitude knowing that the atlas profilax treatment would soon relieve her of these problems.

And for the past 4 days she has been free of her tension!!!

Day before thanksgiving

It's now been almost 3 monts since my atlas profilax treatment and things are holding up very well. All the good things have continued so I'm confident that my atlas is still in place. 

My range of motion, lack of pain in my joints: knee, ankle, shoulders etc. all tell me that my atlas is in.  My flexability and freedom of motion is increasing.

I've restarted a stretching program (called OPTI-STRETCH, google it) that I gave up a year ago because I would always pull a muscle. My plans are to start my walking and running program next spring when it warms up again. I stopped my running program for the same reason that I would always pull a muscle. With my increased flexability I know I will be able to maintain a running program. 

It has been so frustrating to be running along from day to day, enjoying the improvements only to have my left knee begin to hurt for no apparent reason and then have to stop for a month until it healed. I can feel a great difference and equalibrium in how my body is working hense my prediction that I will be successful next spring.

One fun thing about my Wife. I've noticed that she is sleeping a lot better. Before when she would lie on her back she would have labored breathing and snor loudly. But now her breathing is much more relaxed and she isn't snoring.
