Chronic
pain has reached epidemic proportions but it is not a disease. Chronic
pain is a genuine physical problem and its epidemic is being spread by
the very treatments the doctors are prescribing. Over thirty percent of
patients across the world present with back, neck, or head pain, the
majority of whom are in chronic pain, but all doctors offer is a
prescription for painkillers and a referral for intensive physical
therapy. The patients never improve, in fact they get worse. Instead of
receiving empathy and understanding they are often accused of being
dishonest about the severity of their pain. Some are even sent for
psychotherapy. 'The Art and Science of Healing - with Light' breaks that
vicious cycle. Within it is explained to patients how they developed
chronic pain in the first place and how to begin to heal their
migraines, back pain, neck pain, tinnitus, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue
syndrome, and all forms of chronic pain in general.
Doctor Mark
Rogers bases the healing process on his 7 Principles of Healing Chronic
Pain. His methods are all based in science, are common sense, pain free,
drug free, have no painful exercises, and no 'mind over matter'
meditations for coping because the problem is not in the mind of the
patients, it is in their bodies at a deep cellular level. The 7
Principles have a conservative efficacy of eighty-five percent. As long
as the Principles are followed the patient will heal. It is the medical
system that is keeping patients in pain through ignoring the origin of
the pain. Pain is not a mystery, it is not a disease, it means you are
being hurt. Chronic pain means you are still being hurt. Written in a
clear easy to read style with minimal medical jargon it is designed for
patients to finally give them understand what happened to them and gain
control over their healing processes so they can start healing today.

Book Excerpt:
‘Those
who do nothing are inviting shame …(as well as violence). Those who act
boldly are recognizing right as well as reality.’ John F Kennedy, 11th
June 1963 Address to the American People on Civil Rights
‘The
world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are
evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.’ Albert
Einstein
The purpose of this book is to enlighten patients about
how they developed chronic pain and how it can be healed. There is no
mystery, no mind over matter and in the majority of cases, no
medications. The solution is a powerful blend of Nature and Science that
is presented in a set of 7 common sense Principles that, when applied
correctly, activate and assist the healing processes within the human
body.
Patients feel frustrated that in a time where scientific
research has brought about many advances in curing diseases, keeping our
organs in good health and extending life expectancy, most doctors still
can’t fix a bad back or tell you the real reason you get migraines or
that permanent ringing in your ears. This book explains why.
The
book is in three parts. In Part 1 I introduce the 7 Principles of
healing chronic pain. Through them it is explained why chronic pain
develops and how the normal processes the body should be carrying out to
battle it are actually being inhibited by common mainstream medical
practices.
I explain that chronic pain is widespread chronic
inflammation, and in the chronic pain patient that inflammation is being
exacerbated by the very medical treatments the doctors are prescribing.
The more medical treatments the patients have, the worse they get. The
result is a very sick patient. The doctors are following established,
and unquestioned, guidelines so therefore it must be the patient who is
at fault. A vicious downward spiral is created and it is the patient who
pays the price in every way.
I have also chosen to include a
little of my own story. This was not my original intent but as the book
developed it soon became clear that some of my personal history was
relevant to my medical work and findings on the treatment of pain.
There
is nothing more personal than pain. I was once a chronic pain patient
and the search for my own cure led me down an extraordinary path. I
share that experience in the interest of revealing how current medical
systems for pain treatment are not only ineffective but also defective,
to the point where one might begin to feel it’s deliberate.
I am
aware my personal story might be of no interest to some readers so I
encourage them to feel free to skip the part about me which is in
Chapter 1 under the sub-heading of ‘My Personal Experience with Chronic
Pain and How I Healed’. After that I talk about the importance of
doctors applying science in the art of medicine. I have strong opinions
about it but again the reader might prefer to skip over it and go
straight to reading about the 7 Principles. Within them I provide an
understanding of the importance of cellular health and how chronic pain
patients lost theirs.
You will be introduced to Low Level Laser
Therapy (LLLT). I have developed my knowledge in laser therapy over the
last fifteen years. LLLT is also known as cold laser therapy. This is
different to the high intensity lasers used in surgery. Cold laser does
not cut and is cool to the touch.
While there is much about laser
within this book it is not about laser. Don’t feel that because you
don’t have anyone near you offering cold laser therapy that you are
unable to be helped. This book was designed to guide you through
learning all about healing your pain, with or without laser.
I
make it clear that Laser is not a panacea. If used alone, without
applying the 7 Principles, it will not completely cure your pain. Use
the 7 Principles alone and you will heal, slower. Laser and the
Principles will accelerate the healing. The combination of the two, Art
and Science, works rapid wonders.
You will learn that the
adherence to the 7 Principles with or without the scientific application
of cold laser therapy will reverse the damage caused to your cells and
rejuvenate them to their normal state of full pain-free health. You will
become a whole new person, physically and mentally.
Throughout
the course of this book it might appear that some forms of physical
therapy are being singled out as ineffective. I am vehement that when it
comes to chronic pain, they are not only ineffective but dangerous. One
of the things the patient will learn is that the so-called
strengthening and stretching exercises of physical therapies are a big
part of the problem. Most worsen the pain by irritating its source.
Physical
therapies have their place, especially in rehabilitation after the pain
has healed, but definitely not while it is still present. It will be
recommended that physical therapies be discontinued for the duration of
the healing process. Once a pain-free state is achieved the patient can
return to physical therapies, but only then. Patients will be educated
as to why this is the case so they can decide their own course of
action.
In Part 2 we discuss the individual conditions. You will
learn some facts that will challenge old thinking such as, migraine is a
type of neuralgia, and tinnitus is not really a noise, it is a phantom
noise. You will also get to meet some of my patients who kindly agreed
to be case studies.
Their stories will inspire you, and some of
them don’t hold back about how angry they feel towards the current
medical system and how it kept them sick, in some cases for decades.
Also included are the patients most frequently asked questions.
Part
3 is how to incorporate the 7 Principles into daily activities
including sleep, exercise, and even intimacy. Medicine must put the
patient first and incorporate more Science instead of blindly following
draconian protocols designed purely for legal protection and financial
benefit for doctors. When more Science such as LLLT becomes a part of
mainstream medicine the benefits to all aspects of society will far
outnumber any initial introductory inconveniences to the medical
establishment.
There will be less reliance on pharmaceuticals.
Insurance claims will resolve much easier, the workplace will be safer,
and recovery from all accidents will be faster. Laser is invaluable for
healing chronic pain quickly but it is also is an effective modality for
preventative medicine. When mainstream medicine incorporates more
Science there will be many changes in the way we heal. Chronic pain
could soon become a thing of the past.
Chronic pain has long been
considered to be an uncontrollable mystery condition. It has been
grandly labeled as a complex biopsychosocial condition. Some doctors
even consider it to be an incurable disease; others claim it is a result
of the patient’s neuroticism. No wonder the patient is confused. The
confusion ends now.
Your pain is real and it has a traceable
origin. My methods locate that origin, that bull’s-eye, and the laser
targets it, fills it with healing light and the body does the rest. The
Principles, and the laser, are perfectly safe, pain free, and so simple
they are revolutionary. The chronic pain sufferer will finally be able
to get off the medical merry-go-round. When mainstream medicine stops
disguising its fear of change by shunning cold laser therapy and instead
embraces it, in doing so it will enter a new phase of sophisticated and
inclusive patient care. Get ready for a long overdue medical
revolution.
