2011 Fountain of Youth Discovery

I learned that the mind has a very special role in healing. But! The mind can only do so much. I discovered this when my pain became to much for me to handle. This was after I had returned from Nam, and had spent many years not caring about my health, or much else.

Our body's health is a product of our past actions, and most of us have to live with them for the rest of our lives. I had several half healed broken bones (from removing casts before they were healed), plus some war related health problems.

When I finally came to my senses, my first interest was in healing myself. Of course I had no idea how to do this. I had been in martial arts sense I was fifteen, so I turned to exercise for an answer. But! This was more difficult than I thought. I had to much pain to do any workouts, so I modified my workouts so that they didn't hurt. My new exercises not only didn't hurt, they also relieved my pain for a short time afterwords. Plus! When my pain returned, I found out that I had only to do the exercise again, to take it away.

Today at 66 years young, I'm healthy and pain free, and I am no longer haunted by my past mistakes. What I've learned over the last twenty years was that the body has a certain way it was designed to move, to heal itself, and that it also has the ability to rejuvenate.

I've spent the last twenty years figuring out how my body was able to heal itself after so many years of abuse. Please check my site at dmabodyhealth.com to find out why I had to understand this.
