Migraine Treatment
I checked with the state massage therapy board and it is not allowed to test a massage treatment method on the public. One would have to have the required training for massage work and a license. So although I involve an extent of intuition as well as visualization into the design of the treatment I gave to a person which he then claims is what mostly cured his migraines, there is no way to consider this a paranormal study. I will look into becoming a trained massage therapist and then to have my special method evaluated by the board and can then offer such treatment. That is the only way to go about. The effectiveness of my method would only then be evaluated as, if that method is approved for use, I offer it to clients and there is an overwhelming improvement in their migraine condition that coincides with the time of receiving the treatment. As a trained and licensed practitioner I would be reliable and permitted to offer such a treatment, if the method is approved, and can thus evaluate the method. Clients involved in an evaluation of this method would of course receive it free of cost. This is the most responsible manner to conduct this investigation and is entirely consistent with the laws and regulations that oversee massage treatment in the best interest of those receiving the treatment.
I feel torn and it is a very difficult place for me to be. There is a man who is fully convinced that something I did nearly cured his migraines. He went from a minimum of 12 migraines a month to having only 2 a month, and each lasting from one and a half days each to lasting only half a day each, and they no longer come with nausea. His improvement coincided with the time he received a treatment from me. I read about what migraines are like to people, and it is tremendous suffering, and because of what this man believes, I have to wonder whether I am able to help other people with migraines as well. But laws and regulations around treating migraines make it very difficult for someone to test a method unless they already are licensed practitioners. I might be able to help these people, but, I am not allowed to try. And my heart breaks for them. It has got nothing to do with me. It is our instinctive desire to help other people, like when we run into a burning building just to try to save someone and we forget all about our own safety. I feel like a bystander looking at the locked door to a burning building and I want to try to see if I can open the door to the people who are burning alive inside, and I am not allowed to try. It really makes me cry. I hope to find a Skeptic this time, who is willing to let me try this method on his or her migraines. If only to find out that this does not work. But I have to find out. Just in case there is anything I can do to help them.
