After unsuccessful foot surgery, freelance writer Jean Sands wasn't too keen on more, but that was the only option conventional medicine offered her. They recommend back surgery, knee surgery and one for a hernia. Jean was an interesting case...every time she had a lot of stress she'd end up in physical pain. She learned some useful stress release techniques and ended up being able to drive herself to the Cape (4 hour drive) after not being able to leave the house. We worked together over a few months, here are some of our emails:

 Hi Alice, My feet are still numb but not so much. I say thank you to the Universe a dozen times a day for allowing you to stop the pain. No burning, no crying in the night, not having to leap out of bed and stand because it hurts more when I lie down. The numbness is 40-50 percent better in my left foot, the worst one. The right it's maybe 80 percent better. It's hard to explain, I'm aware of the numbness that's still there but I can feel the floor, my shoes, etc. I'm aware that there is some discomfort in the toes, but no pain like I had. And believe me, I was suffering a lot for 3 1/2 months and I am grateful, thankful. See you Monday.

I hope you are having a good weekend. We went out and did a little shopping today and my feet didn't make me cry. My knees, well, they need more work and maybe have to be replaced. Then you can help them heal up quick! Jean Dear Alice, Thank you for coming to my house today. My knees were hurting badly - that deep ache that makes me feel nauseous. But you came when I asked and used your “magic” tuning fork, and within a half hour my right knee felt better. When I stood up it seemed like that leg was 6 inches longer than the left. Then you worked on the left leg and the same thing happened - it felt longer, stronger, and nearly pain free. Before I called you I had wanted to go to the bank, just the drive through. However, I was using my walker and cane to get around the house and the thought of suffering the pain of going down the stairs to my car gave me the shivers. But three hours after you left guess what I did? Yes, I went down the stairs and drove to the bank. And then I stopped at my son’s house to drop off his Father’s Day present. That doesn’t sound like much but I was up the sidewalk and steps to his door before I realized that I’d left my cane in the car! So thank you Alice for helping me again! You are the miracle worker in my life. Jean Sands

The toes on my left foot are definitely much less numb. It's all gone in the first three toes. On the right foot just the first two toes are not numb. BUT I can move my toes, bend the big one, like I haven't been able to do in so many years I can't remember when they moved like this!! I felt a pain across the base of my toes on my left foot, the one with the worst damage from botched surgery. The pain was there for maybe 5 minutes and when it stopped I felt like something let go in those ligaments (or whatever) that were cut and harmed and so tight I couldn't move my toes. I have been so blessed since my back gave me that pain in mid Nov. It brought so many good things and people to me, including you.

Jean Sands
