Hello, Louella!

This letter is to thank you for your determination to go and tell your incredible story around the country.

In August of 1994 my husband was attacked with another bout of Trigeminal Neuralgia. It is known as the most painful disease known to man. There is no cure other than surgery ($30,000+) and that doesn't always cure it forever. The pain is so debilitating that you come to a state of inertia. You don't talk, work or function in any normal capacity. You're life is one filled with constant pain. You hate to eat or move because anything can set off the crescendo that escalates the pain that is always there. By Christmas the drugs had James so doped that on Christmas morning we managed to get him downstairs for fifteen minutes, and then back up to his bed. He can't remember the pain, but I knew that the medication wasn't taking it away because he still grimaced and tossed in his sleep. From February to June, the symptoms waned and he returned to normalcy.

When the pain returned in July, it came on faster, stronger and with more devastating depression. We tried chiropractors, minerals, herb's, acupuncture. We finally found a Chinese Medical doctor who could do acupuncture points that would divert the pain out of his tongue, or eye to other areas when the nerve was fluttering in those areas. Dr. L. gave him an herbal tea that helped him tolerate the pain most of the time. Often he wouldn't sleep four to five nights straight, crying, wishing he could die.

In November I knew I had reached the end of my endurance and our money. What I didn’t know was that James was ready to commit suicide. He had the gun. Everything was set. Three days before he planned to pull the trigger I heard you on the radio sharing your experience of healing and recovery. After hearing your program, I had hope. I came home, took a small radio up to my husband's room and asked him to listen. He was skeptical. We'd tried everything else. He listened and even though his hope was really low, we called your toll free number. In a day or two a wonderful Upper Cervical Chiropractor called us back. I explained James' condition. This doctor offered me hope, but guaranteed nothing. Three days later we went to the doctor's office. The chiropractor x-rayed, analyzed and adjusted my husband's neck with that soft touch you barely even feel. When we left, James was completely skeptical. He didn't think the doctor had done anything and it was just more money down the drain. I reminded him that you had felt the same way when you got your first adjustment.

But, Louella, within three days there was a marked decrease in the pain level Within two weeks there was no pain at all. My husband is now back to work doing what he loves to do.

We've shared with everyone we meet the science upper cervical chiropractors offer. One friend who suffered migraines every 2-3 weeks has been migraine free for over four months. A 86 year old woman who'd had pain since she fell off a bridge on her head at age 8 can now walk from her bedroom to the kitchen without pain. A 70 year old who had severe shoulder pain for two years, is now pain-free. A friend's mother who couldn't sleep at night due to pain now sleeps pain-free. A brother and a sister in our church have lived with chronic lower back pain for years. They work without pain now. Our pastor dealt with headaches for the last fifteen years, and now never has a headache. There are may others, but you get the point.

We want to thank you for whatever you go through to travel across the country and tell your story. It is affecting so many! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you for giving me my husband back. I am eternally indebted.

A grateful friend,

Rhonda Tomasi
