Chronic pain has reached epidemic
proportions but it is not a disease. Chronic pain is a genuine physical problem
and its epidemic is being spread by the very treatments the doctors are
prescribing. Over thirty percent of patients across the world present with
back, neck, or head pain, the majority of whom are in chronic pain, but all
doctors offer is a prescription for painkillers and a referral for intensive
physical therapy. The patients never improve, in fact they get worse. Instead
of receiving empathy and understanding they are often accused of being
dishonest about the severity of their pain. Some are even sent for
psychotherapy. 'The Art and Science of Healing - with Light' breaks that
vicious cycle. Within it is explained to patients how they developed chronic
pain in the first place and how to begin to heal their migraines, back pain,
neck pain, tinnitus, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and all forms of
chronic pain in general.
Doctor Mark Rogers bases the healing process
on his 7 Principles of Healing Chronic Pain. His methods are all based in
science, are common sense, pain free, drug free, have no painful exercises, and
no 'mind over matter' meditations for coping because the problem is not in the
mind of the patients, it is in their bodies at a deep cellular level. The 7
Principles have a conservative efficacy of eighty-five percent. As long as the
Principles are followed the patient will heal. It is the medical system that is
keeping patients in pain through ignoring the origin of the pain. Pain is not a
mystery, it is not a disease, it means you are being hurt. Chronic pain means
you are still being hurt. Written in a clear easy to read style with minimal
medical jargon it is designed for patients to finally give them understand what
happened to them and gain control over their healing processes so they can
start healing today.

The purpose of this book is to enlighten
patients about how they developed chronic pain and how it can be healed. There
is no mystery, no mind over matter and in the majority of cases, no medications.
The solution is a powerful blend of Nature and Science that is presented in a
set of 7 common sense Principles that, when applied correctly, activate and
assist the healing processes within the human body.
Patients feel frustrated that
in a time where scientific research has brought about many advances in curing
diseases, keeping our organs in good health and extending life expectancy, most
doctors still can’t fix a bad back or tell you the real reason you get
migraines or that permanent ringing in your ears. This book explains why.
The book is in three parts. In
Part 1 I introduce the 7 Principles of healing chronic pain. Through them it is
explained why chronic pain develops and how the normal processes the body
should be carrying out to battle it are actually being inhibited by common
mainstream medical practices.
I explain that chronic pain is
widespread chronic inflammation, and in the chronic pain patient that
inflammation is being exacerbated by the very medical treatments the doctors
are prescribing. The more medical treatments the patients have, the worse they
get. The result is a very sick patient. The doctors are following established,
and unquestioned, guidelines so therefore it must be the patient who is at
fault. A vicious downward spiral is created and it is the patient who pays the
price in every way.
I have also chosen to include
a little of my own story. This was not my original intent but as the book
developed it soon became clear that some of my personal history was relevant to
my medical work and findings on the treatment of pain.
There is nothing more personal
than pain. I was once a chronic pain patient and the search for my own cure led
me down an extraordinary path. I share that experience in the interest of
revealing how current medical systems for pain treatment are not only
ineffective but also defective, to the point where one might begin to feel it’s
deliberate.
I am aware my personal story
might be of no interest to some readers so I encourage them to feel free to
skip the part about me which is in Chapter 1 under the sub-heading of ‘My
Personal Experience with Chronic Pain and How I Healed’. After that I talk
about the importance of doctors applying science in the art of medicine. I have
strong opinions about it but again the reader might prefer to skip over it and
go straight to reading about the 7 Principles. Within them I provide an
understanding of the importance of cellular health and how chronic pain
patients lost theirs.
You will be introduced to Low
Level Laser Therapy (LLLT). I have developed my knowledge in laser therapy over
the last fifteen years. LLLT is also known as cold laser therapy. This is
different to the high intensity lasers used in surgery. Cold laser does not cut
and is cool to the touch.
While there is much about
laser within this book it is not about laser. Don’t feel that because you don’t
have anyone near you offering cold laser therapy that you are unable to be
helped. This book was designed to guide you through learning all about healing
your pain, with or without laser.
I make it clear that Laser is
not a panacea. If used alone, without applying the 7 Principles, it will not
completely cure your pain. Use the 7 Principles alone and you will heal,
slower. Laser and the Principles will accelerate the healing. The combination
of the two, Art and Science, works rapid wonders.
You will learn that the
adherence to the 7 Principles with or without the scientific application of
cold laser therapy will reverse the damage caused to your cells and rejuvenate
them to their normal state of full pain-free health. You will become a whole
new person, physically and mentally.
Throughout the course of this
book it might appear that some forms of physical therapy are being singled out
as ineffective. I am vehement that when it comes to chronic pain, they are not
only ineffective but dangerous. One of the things the patient will learn is
that the so-called strengthening and stretching exercises of physical therapies
are a big part of the problem. Most worsen the pain by irritating its source.
Physical therapies have their
place, especially in rehabilitation after the pain has healed, but definitely
not while it is still present. It will be recommended that physical therapies
be discontinued for the duration of the healing process. Once a pain-free state
is achieved the patient can return to physical therapies, but only then.
Patients will be educated as to why this is the case so they can decide their
own course of action.
In Part 2 we discuss the
individual conditions. You will learn some facts that will challenge old
thinking such as, migraine is a type of neuralgia, and tinnitus is not really a
noise, it is a phantom noise. You will also get to meet some of my patients who
kindly agreed to be case studies.
Their stories will inspire
you, and some of them don’t hold back about how angry they feel towards the
current medical system and how it kept them sick, in some cases for decades.
Also included are the patients most frequently asked questions.
Part 3 is how to incorporate
the 7 Principles into daily activities including sleep, exercise, and even
intimacy. Medicine must put the patient first and incorporate more Science
instead of blindly following draconian protocols designed purely for legal
protection and financial benefit for doctors. When more Science such as LLLT
becomes a part of mainstream medicine the benefits to all aspects of society
will far outnumber any initial introductory inconveniences to the medical
establishment.
There will be less reliance on
pharmaceuticals. Insurance claims will resolve much easier, the workplace will
be safer, and recovery from all accidents will be faster. Laser is invaluable
for healing chronic pain quickly but it is also is an effective modality for
preventative medicine. When mainstream medicine incorporates more Science there
will be many changes in the way we heal. Chronic pain could soon become a thing
of the past.
Chronic pain has long been
considered to be an uncontrollable mystery condition. It has been grandly labeled
as a complex biopsychosocial condition. Some doctors even consider it to be an
incurable disease; others claim it is a result of the patient’s neuroticism. No
wonder the patient is confused. The confusion ends now.
Your pain is real and it has a
traceable origin. My methods locate that origin, that bull’s-eye, and the laser
targets it, fills it with healing light and the body does the rest. The
Principles, and the laser, are perfectly safe, pain free, and so simple they
are revolutionary. The chronic pain sufferer will finally be able to get off
the medical merry-go-round. When mainstream medicine stops disguising its fear
of change by shunning cold laser therapy and instead embraces it, in doing so
it will enter a new phase of sophisticated and inclusive patient care. Get
ready for a long overdue medical revolution.
