Margaret Mead said, “Never doubt that a small group of committed individuals can change the world. Indeed it is the only thing that has ever changed it”
I always loved that quote. Last week I had the chance to see it in action. We went back to the beautiful spa and resort The Grand Waialea on Maui to do a seminar. I got a pedicure in the salon - such a girl thing - and much to my surprise the woman who did the treatment greeted me with recognition and a big hug! She said, “Last year when you were here you fixed my ankle with FSM. I injured it running in July and I still couldn’t walk comfortably in November. In one treatment it was permanently pain free. I ran the next day and did a 10K yesterday. I love FSM!! Thank you so much!.”
Think of the ripples we make in the world when a patient recovers or has their pain reduced or thier life improved. This is what keeps FSM going. Nothing is ever 100% but we do such wonderful things in patients lives and make such a difference in the world. Never doubt that the ripples can change the world - one patient at a time.

I have had an increase in the number of inquiries about using FSM to treat the eye. My response is always the same and I want to have everyone know it so I’ll put it here on the blog.  

Non opthalmic professionals should not treat the eye with FSM or any other modality. Non-othalmic professionals do not have the equipment or the expertise to examine and evaluate the eye. Microcurrent and FSM have not been shown officially to be useful or safe in treating the eye and TENS devices are contraindicated for use through the eye. There is no reason to expect that FSM is not safe and opthalmic professionals can use any modality they deem safe and worth a trial of treatment. We have mouse research showing that one frequency combination can reduce inflammation. To the extent that reducing inflammation is useful in treating anything that frequency may be helpful.

Dr. Richard Luekenga is an optometrist using FSM to treat the eye successfully. He practices in Richfield Utah and his number is (435) 896-8142. We are referring patients and practitioners to him for consult and advice. The case reports are promising but they are just case reports at this point. FSM is in a vulnerable position in this clinical area. If non-qualified practitioners treat the eye with FSM and patients have trouble or side effects - whether actually related to treatment or simply coincidental - FSM gets a bad reputation and the practitioner is at risk - not to mention the patient.

If you are not an opthalmic professional do not treat the eye with FSM. Prudently yours - Dr. Carol

FSM displayed last week at the American Osteopathic Association meeting and had a great time talking to people about the seminars. I had the pleasure of treating a veyr nice DO who had open heart surgery 10 weeks before. We had a nice time comparing bypass stories and then he mentioned that he still had the nerve traction injuries and chest wall pain that come with that surgery. Thoracic nerves get tractioned when they open the chest - and he got shingles a few weeks after the surgery  so to add insult to injury he had some PHN symptoms contributing to his chest wall pain. He sat down when I said we should be able to fix that - the chest wall pain was gone in about 15 minutes. (Nerve traction injuries are easy but who would believe it until you do show and tell!) As he sat he mentioned that three fingers were still numb from the brachial plexus traction injury - radial nerve - so he blistered them when he took a bowl out of the microwave. I wrapped the red leads glove around his neck and put the other glove in his hand and warned him that when the nerve progresses from numb towards normal it would get hypersensitive but that was expected. The fingers became hypersensitive in about 12 minutes and we sat and visited for the next 40 minutes as they finished thier recovery. I finally got tired of waiting for the nerve and the brain to communicate and tried using the frequency to increase secretions in the sensory cortex and that seemed to finish it up. He had normal sensation in the fingers when we were done. It’s the most fun anyone could have. We met lots of fascinating people at the AOA - you know who you are! Look forward to seeing you at a seminar soon. Dr. C

I traveled on Thursday last week with Dr. Simons to the 50th year anniversary celebration of his Man High high altitude balloon flight. He had a rash on his head diagnosed as actinic keratosis by his dermatologist. By the time we got to the Myopain meeting in Washington, DC on Sunday the rash was redder and very painful. Actinic keratosis doesn’t hurt. 

The rash was in the distribution of the opthalmic branch of the 5th cranial nerve. It seemed as if it had to be shingles especially when we used the frequency for reducing inflammation in the skin on Monday and it made the pain worse. The frequency to eliminate shingles reduced his pain from 6/10 to 0/10 and after a total of four hours treatment over three days the redness and pain were both gone.

I put one glove on the back of his neck and one glove on the top of his head wrapped in a wet wash cloth over the rash. He sat at our FSM booth at Myopain for 90 minutes, treated for an hour at night for two nights and spent the next two days telling anyone who would listen (and some who would have preferred not to listen) that his wife had cured his shingles. I just LOVE being able to do that.

If you have shingles or know anyone who does, FSM is your friend. Cheers - Dr. Carol

HI - I have finally been dragged into the 21st century and compelled to learn how to do a blog. The last few months have been whirlwind of travel and and networking. Jessica Morea helped collect data on successful treatment of neuropathic pain in our clinic. 20 patients with 6.7 years chronic nerve pain came in with an average pain of  6.8/10 and left at an average of 4.8/10.  (P<.001) They came in on the second visit with pain of 4.8 / 10 and left at the end of the treatment with pain of .97/10.  (P<.001) 65% (13) recovered after an average of 4.6 treatments.25% (5) terminated care prior to recovery although every patient experiences similar levels of pain relief. One person was referred for an epidural and one patient uses an FSM HomeCare for pain relief at home. We’ll be submitting this paper for publication in the next few months.

 I am not actually sure what you are supposed to put in a blog but this is the most exciting new thing in FSM I know about to share with you - or for those from the south - all y’all (as my friend Shannon says). Now that I know how to do this I’ll blog more often. Is that a verb or a noun or both?? Love and blessings, Dr.Carol
