Musculo-Skeletal Disorders
Please note: The results described herein are particular to
the individuals who experienced them. There can be no assurance
that other participants in the Maharishi Vedic Vibration
Technology program will obtain the same results.
Arthritis
“I have had some definite results from
Maharishi's Vedic Vibration Technology, excellent results. Due to
arthritis, my knees in general had become somewhat stiff. After
my consultation, both knees became springy. That was nearly two
months ago, and they’re still springy!” --Devani Wagner
Osteoarthritis
"I've been suffering for about 30 years
from what was diagnosed as osteoarthritis. I tried diet, food
supplements, and liniments, yet my knees continued to trouble me
and the joints in my hands started to distort. In trying this
program, my hope was that I would find some relief from the
distortion and the discomfort in my joints. I was not
prepared for total, instant relief. I was astounded!
"Before the consultation my hands at
times would not be able to close fully. After the three sessions
they not only close fully, but they're completely flexible.
"The discomfort in my knees was
strongest early in the morning. Ordinarily when I get out of bed
I stand very carefully at first before I start to walk. After
one session of the Maharishi Vedic Vibration Technology program
I think I could have jumped out of bed! For the first time in
years the stiffness and discomfort of getting out of bed in the
morning was completely gone.
"The results that I have had are
increasing on a daily basis. I'm learning now to walk with grace
and ease, where before I was an old lady waddling, trying to
keep up. I am experiencing comfort where before I had discomfort
and outright pain." --Tommie Lane
Bursitis
"I was diagnosed five years ago with bursitis in my hip.
It hurt to walk. It hurt to sit. It hurt to go upstairs. It hurt
to lie down in bed at night, and it was impossible to sit
cross-legged on the floor. For an active preschool teacher
that's really essential. The doctor gave me medication which
never took the pain away. The next step was steroids, which I
didn't want to use.
"The first day 85 percent of my pain was
gone. After the third session I felt so much better that my two
children and I took a water taxi over to Manhattan and walked to
Canal St for a delicious dinner. I never would have been able to
walk that distance before. Here's a surprise bonus-my back pain
also disappeared!" --Diane Wetherell
Pain and
Stiffness in the Hip
"I have had pain, stiffness and restricted movement in
my right hip since 1981. In February of 1998 I saw an orthopedic
doctor and had x-rays taken showing degenerative osteoarthritis
with quite significant loss of cartilage in the right hip. Prior
to that I had been seeing osteopaths, chiropractors, a
myotherapist, a cranial sacral therapist and while they all
helped my function and overall bodily health, the hip pain
remained and my mobility continued to decrease.
"In 1996 I started the Maharishi Vedic
Approach to Health Veda herb program and noticed progressive
benefits, but I was still limping. In fall of 1998 I requested
planetary yagyas through the Maharishi Yagya program. This
improved my overall well being, energy, focus, happiness,
stamina, and relations with my family. I felt much more in tune
with my world. I was also finding more useful things that were
helping my hip so the pain was becoming less of a problem.
Mobility was increasing, but in an incremental way. I had a
Maharishi Vedic Vibration Technology consultation because I
wanted to speed things along.
"Immediately after the consultation the
grip of pain was gone and I had more range of motion. I had a
lot of pain and fatigue during the three days of my
consultation, but my walking was smoother. Now I can stand and
shop and carry groceries. I am also able to walk without hip
pain most of the time, though I find it still can be sensitive
from doing too much lifting. In short, I found instant relief
from the grip of pain, increased range of motion, increased
stamina, and improved walking. I expect to fulfill the experts
statement that it will be perfect." --Judith Ann White
Rheumatoid Arthritis
"Rheumatoid arthritis runs in my family. The pain and
swelling in my joints has been going on for two or three
decades. After my consultation the pain decreased considerably,
the swelling has gone down, and it actually feels like the size
of the joints is subsiding, which I never expected to happen.
"The consultation is done so naturally
that you don't even notice the pain has gone. It just sort of
melts away over time. I'm absolutely amazed at the results, and
the thing I like best is that it is absolutely painless. The
whole procedure is a completely delightful experience."
--Elizabeth Lazenby
Rheumatoid Arthritis
"I had been very concerned about my aunt, Darcus Key,
for a long, long time. Now 77, she had been suffering from
severe Rheumatoid Arthritis for 42 years. She's endured eight
major joint replacement surgeries, including both wrists and
hands.
"Now it has been almost two months since
Aunt Darcus completed the program. She has been receiving
massages with the sesame oil three times daily. She has not
experienced any arthritic pain at all. The pain from the
fractured vertebrae is manageable now. She says that if she
begins to feel any pain, she closes her eyes and recalls the
memory of how she felt during the consultation-peace, freedom
from pain, and joy. When she opens her eyes, the pain is gone.
The memory of health has been restored!" --Sue Harn
Degenerative Arthritis
"I've just completed Maharishi Vedic Vibration
technology for degenerative arthritis in my right knee. This
arthritis arose 26 years ago due an auto accident. Over the past
10 years, the arthritis has become steadily worse. I experienced
twinges of pain almost every time I moved the joint, and
especially when walking or climbing stairs.
"I've consulted the best orthopedic
doctors in Iowa for treatment, and in each case was informed
that the condition was inoperable and degenerative. Apart from
regular exercise, no treatment could be prescribed. The
long-term prognosis was for the condition to steadily worsen.
"After the first Maharishi Vedic
Vibration Technology session all the pain was gone from my knee.
I could bend the knee without discomfort and could walk with no
hint of pain (even when climbing stairs). I've not experienced
such pain-free movement in many years. After two days, a small
percentage of the pain (about 5-10 percent) reappeared. After
the second treatment, this pain also dissolved.
"My right knee now remains virtually
pain free (only the slightest discomfort re-emerges during
low-pressure weather). At these times, application of the Vedic
Vibration-treated oil entirely eliminates the remaining
symptoms.
"When I first heard of this program, I
doubted my arthritis, which has brought almost constant
discomfort for 10 years, could be eliminated. To experience a
transformation of this magnitude, so quickly, is truly
remarkable. I'm deeply grateful for the relief provided by
Maharishi Vedic Vibration Technology. I highly recommend this to
anyone." --Ben Gosvig
Arthritis
"I was treated for arthritis and muscle pain. I had
moderate pain and stiffness in my hip, lower back, and neck. Now
I only have slight pain occasionally in the hip and lower back
(never in the neck). My stiffness has been cut in half. Nothing
else had worked before."
Muscle and Ligament Problem
"For seven years I had a problem like frozen shoulder,
but it was in the muscles around the hips. It was so bad I
couldn't move fast; I couldn't exert myself.
"After my Maharishi Vedic Vibration
Technology consultation I went for a run and there was no
discomfort. The next day I did more running and some exercises,
things that I hadn't done in seven years, and then the next day
and the next. Now, three weeks after my consultation, I haven't
had one pinch of pain in my hip area." --Richard
Barnes
Shoulder Tension
"I felt 100 percent improvement in my shoulders after my
Maharishi Vedic Vibration Technology consultation. For the first
time in my life I felt no tension there-as if a huge weight had
been lifted off me. I used to think I was muscle bound and
that's why I couldn't freely move my shoulders and maintain good
posture. Now I realize it was just stress inhibiting me. I feel
I've been given a brand new body- a much younger one. In fact I
never felt this free even in my youth. I can see that this
program is the only way to gain real freedom from physical
problems. I highly recommend it to everyone."
Frozen Shoulder
"About a year ago I lost the full range of motion in my
left shoulder. There was quite a bit of discomfort and I wasn't
able to perform many activities such as lifting. I received 100
percent relief about one month after my consultation."
Lower Back Pain
“I began having lower back pain in April 1997. I’ve had
problems intermittently, to the point where at times it is
difficult to walk. Seeing a chiropractor helped some, but I
wasn’t able to exercise without having moderate to severe
lower back pain afterwards.
“After my first session I felt some good
effect. But then I overdid it at the gym and started to feel
very sore. During my second session, all that soreness in my
neck and back was released, and since that time I’ve been
swimming and exercising with Nautilus. My back pain is virtually
relieved. I can feel that the back muscles are in much better
shape and supporting my body in a way they haven’t for a long
time.” --Kit Dziuba
Lower Back Pain
"I’ve had lower back pain for several
years. It's easily aggravated by too much of
anything—especially lifting, driving, exercising, or working
at the computer. After just one session, I felt the area was
almost completely clear. Immediately, I could do yoga positions
without the restrictive discomfort I've felt for so long. It
continually surprises me now how I can bend over and feel
absolutely no pain!" --Jan Shaw
Back Pain and Sciatica
“For the last ten years I have had pain in my lower back.
The pain shoots down into my hip and sometimes all the way down
my leg. I have not been able to walk more than 20 yards without
it hurting with every step.
“I received a Maharishi Vedic Vibration
Technology consultation and immediately the pain was gone. I
keep expecting the pain to come back but it has not. I have not
felt this well in ten years. This has been one of the most
profound experiences I have ever had.” --John Van de Steeg
Herniated Disk
“About eight years ago I had a herniated disk that resulted
in a lot of pain. The only thing the doctors could offer was
surgery that ran the risk of partial or full paralysis. After my
first session the pain was immediately 100 percent gone. I have
not had any pain or discomfort since the consultation.”
--Susan Fox
Neck and Back Pain
"Eight years ago I was diagnosed with severe
degenerative disk disease, two herniated discs in my lumbar
region, and a stenosis in my neck. I saw two neurologists and a
neurosurgeon who did surgery on my neck. He warned me it would
not significantly help with my neck and shoulder pain, and he
was right.
"Since the surgery I've seen three
orthopedic surgeons and two osteopathic doctors, none of whom
could give me even the slightest hope of helping my condition,
except by taking drugs. Even with drugs the pain was still
there, it just didn't bother me as much. I've also seen
chiropractors who did provide some temporary relief if I did not
move around much.
"When my brother heard of this treatment
he offered to help pay for my consultation. I had consultations
for my neck and shoulders, mid-back, and lower back. After the
first session, some discomfort came as the day proceeded, but
mostly because I was walking in the mountains. After the second
session, as the day wore on, even though I was walking a lot I
rarely felt uncomfortable. I felt as much as 70 percent of the
pain was gone. After the third session I felt that as much as 90
percent of the pain and discomfort was gone, even though I had
walked around the mountains like a tourist, and haven't had any
regular exercise in years! I am more than satisfied and
thoroughly amazed and pleased." --Thomas Van de Steeg
Neck Pain
"After my second session of the Maharishi Vedic
Vibration Technology consultation, the pain and pressure in my
neck, which I'd had for the past 25 years, was completely gone!
I felt healed on such a deep level, allowing bliss and energy to
flow freely in that area both in meditation and activity."
--G. G.
Injuries Relieved After 10 Years of Suffering
"About 10 years ago I suffered injuries to my neck and
left hip. The neck injury was diagnosed as a herniated disk, and
the hip as bursitis. Since then, I've experienced a lingering
stiffness and discomfort in both areas. Immediately after my
consultation I noticed a 40 to 50 percent reduction in the
stiffness in my neck, and a 50 percent improvement in my hip.
Nothing I've tried has produced such dramatic results in such a
short time-and I've tried a lot!"
Pain and Numbness in the Hips and Thigh
"I went into Maharishi Vedic Vibration Technology as a
last resort, resigned to live with pain and numbness in the hips
and thigh caused by a back injury. I had resigned myself to a
life of rest and sitting with little possibility for dynamic
activity. I had resigned from living life fully.
"My first session was a wonderfully
nourishing and blissful experience that produced immediate
results. During the consultation, I first noticed a soft,
pulsating, warm milky light, somewhat like the feel of a
cashmere blanket on a cold drafty night, covering my lower legs.
It began in the ankles and then moved up to encompass the whole
lower body and torso.
"I became aware of my pulse, pulsating
not just in the heart or at the wrist, but throughout my body's
entire circulatory system. As I felt the pulse moving
comfortably through the arteries and veins, I occasionally felt
some twinges or discomfort in areas that were not functioning
properly, but that cleared up quickly.
"At the end of the session, as I
stretched, I found I was more flexible and had less attention to
protecting the body, as the body was more normal in its
functioning.
"During the rest of the day, I had more
energy, more enthusiasm for activity, more joy in being active.
Whereas before it took energy just to sit, and the thought of
physical activity was exhausting, now the thought of sitting was
boring and I wanted to move and be active and accomplish. I was
happy in activity and it posed no problem for my physiology.
"Since then, I occasionally have twinges
of pain in the thigh, but the amazing thing is that I apply the
oil I was given and the pain really does go away, all on its
own. It's as if the body continues to remember normal
functioning.
"With the consultation, and the
resulting enthusiasm and ability to be dynamic once again, I
feel happier and more a part of the pace of normal life. Deep
within, I know that I can remember normal functioning. I
definitely recommend this for anyone who may be in a similar
situation." --Theresa Olsen
Throwing Away the Cane
"My husband drove me [to the Maharishi Vedic Vibration
Technology consultation] the first two days, Saturday and
Sunday. There were a few steps in front of the building that
were very difficult for me to navigate. With the quad cane I had
to walk sideways. It was really something. Then I could hardly
get up on the table. Two people had to help me.
"On Monday, the third day, I got up on
the table unassisted. After the session I realized I did not
need a cane. It was like a miracle. I have not used the cane
since.
"When I first told my internist what I
planned to do, I thought he might be annoyed with me, but he
said, 'Try it. If it works, go for it.'
"The next time I saw him, I said, 'Guess
what happened after the third session?'
"He said, 'I know what happened. You
threw away your cane.'
"'How do you know?' I asked.
"'Well, I can see how you're walking.
You hopped up on the examination table. Look at how you're
moving around.'" --Virginia Sendor
