Anyone seeing a Healer ?

[melsy]

I would like to know if anyone thought it worked and has felt a difference. I want to find one in North London for myself (depression/back problems/anxiety) and my father who is having pancreas problems, his medication is not working well.

Not wishing to put a dampner on antyones enthusiasm for Healers, and everyone is free to consult whoever they see ftr. But just a word of caution, pancreas problems can become very serious, very quickly. See a healer alongside an 'orthodox' doctor by all means, but don't let your dad ditch the tablets he is taking without a consultation from his GP. If they aren't helping, see the GP as well.

Dh has pancreatitis and was in hospital for weeks. He went from 100% well to writhing in agony in 15 minutes. It has a very high death rate.

Hope that you both feel better soon.

My dad is having a biopsy next week (v worried) and awaiting blood tests taken last week for infection, which may be why meds r not working to reduce pancreas. He would defo use it as complementry treatment not substitute. I wanted to find out more for him b4 suggesting it to my mum as she seems not to want to know.

Hugs to you all, Melsy, I hope that everything goes well. If it helps, Dh had the attack 6.5 years ago and he is now 100% symptom free. But it is a worry. Complementary sounds fine, and anything that might help your dad feel in more control can't hurt at all.

Thank you hmb- just dont know what to say to my mum, I seem to say the wrong things to her about this all the time.

My Aunt is a healer, I'm assuming you aren't asking about acupunture, herbs etc as they are quite different.

If you are interested there is a place in North London The Maitreya School of Healing founded by Lily Cornford, one of the most respected healers when she was alive. 0207 272 2981, its in N19...is that near you?

But I have to agree with not coming off medication without a doctors explicit instruction.

I attend a spiritualised church and at the end of each session there are healers (also part of the congregation) that practice for free. I have not used one myself - my mum swears by it.

You might be able to hook yourself up with a good healer via your local spirtitulaist church (they often have open days and fairs as well so you dont have to get into the whole church thing).

A good website for the management of pain is www.painsupport.co.uk. It is run by somebody who does NHS Pain Management courses. There are loads of tips and a great support network of people in all sorts of situations managing injuries and pain.

Good Luck
