OTHERPLANE

   History

     Ted is now retired from the U.S. Army. When he was in the military, he was sent to the Persian Gulf to participate in Operation Desert Storm. Ted's problem started after coming back from "Desert Storm". He began experiencing neck and severe head aches. Prognosis by military medical personnel was given as a 'shoulder injury' and Ted underwent physical therapy.

     However, Ted's shoulder problem never healed (even after his retirement from the Army). Around four years after his retirement, four of his upper vertebrae collapsed, after deteriorating for so long, causing an almost certain paralysis condition (if not operated on by the Veterans Hospital). After the operation, the shoulder problem returned back to normal but Ted now had acquired a new problem... 'no feeling from the neck down' and an 'ever-present constant headache'. Ted's operation resulted in a metal pin being inserted into the backside of his neck.

     Presently, Ted's headache is always present and despite constant visits to the Veterans Hospital, undergoing evaluation after evaluation, doctors prescribing new medications... nothing has been effective to relieve the pain. He has gotten used to the ever-present pain and has resorted to using a form of 'self-hypnosis' to block-out that pain.

     Also, the doctors have no explanation for the reason that Ted is not able to feel anything (from the neck down). Ted must be ever vigilant toward receiving any skin punctures or broken bones... he will not feel any pain nor feel the sensation of bleeding. His only defense is to physically see the cut or damaged area of his lower body. Ted's lower body is fully functional... minus 'being able to feel'.

     Ted was aware of Otherplane's interest in 'alternative healing' and a desire to find a more effective method for diagnosing ailments... most importantly, diagnosing ailments in 'real-time'. This would provide for a more timely course of action and treatment. Ted requested if a trace backward in time to the point when his 'back' started going bad (just for his own information).

   Procedure

     The process is a simple procedure to perform. This involves using the same or a similar device, that we use involving most everything that we do... for example: dowsing/treasure hunting; paranormal, extraterrestrial, ancient myths and other types investigations. By starting at a 'point-in-time', the device is used to follow the 'outline of a person's aura' (in this case... Ted's). Particular attention is given to the area (of the aura) that the vertebrae is located. Once a sudden change on the readings is indicated, the timeframe is further broken down into months, then days and hours (to pinpoint the start of the problem area).

     Data-keeping and charts will reflect the condition of the vertebrae as it progressively deteriorates through the years. Additional charts shows the condition of the vertebrae(s) as they finally deteriorate to the point... causing Ted to be immobilized and requires operation. Also, charts that show the condition of the vertebrae after the operation.

   Benefit(s)

     Continued monitoring using this procedure provides Ted with a 'real-time' picture of his problem area(s) as well as his overall physical condition. With this information in hand, he now has options to consider. No problem past, present or future escapes detection.
