SCENAR Treatment with Terminal Illness

(Note: Jim Freedman bought a Scenar from us in 2006. He has worked with it on his wife and himself over the years, and when in Asheville, would call us up to connect. While here last November, he mentioned his friend Martin, and that he wanted to try treating him with Scenar. I told him of my only experience in seeing Scenar’s effects with another terminally ill individual, which I’m now writing up as a future post, where I witnessed a dramatic improvement in the quality of life during the last months. I told him, it could do no harm, and could possibly improve the quality of his friend’s remaining time. Below are the emails and his thoughts about his experiences in working with Martin.)

I have a good friend Martin who was diagnosed this past summer with multiple myeloma. This is a cancer of the plasma cells located in the bone marrow. There is no cure for this. He was on vacation and experienced excruciating back pain. He was hospitalized and diagnosed. He has numerous tumors growing throughout his body. The myeloma weakened his bones so much he had to have a rod surgically implanted in his leg.

Once back home in Florida he has undergone extensive radiation as well as drug therapies and an operation to infuse spinal cement to help stabilize his lower spine.

I told him I wanted to try and treat him with the scenar. I wondered how much good it might do for someone with this severe a problem.

Martin had become wracked with extreme pain and spent most of his time in bed.

Here are the emails that I sent Penny as I was treating Martin:

Jan 12, 2012  Thursday   1st Scenar Treatment

The worst problem is the huge amount of pain that he is in. He is on morphine and other pain meds. Today was the first chance that I have had to treat him. I called him and he was reluctant because he was having such a bad pain day. When I assured him there would be no side affects he agreed.

He can only walk with the aid of a walker and of late he has to rely on his arms for support as his legs buckle if he puts weight on them. Most of his pain in his is back and buttocks.

When I saw Martin I was somewhat aghast at seeing him in such bad shape. It took him almost 3-4 minutes to roll over from laying on his back to his side. I treated him with the Scenar for about 30-40 minutes and I really did not expect to see immediate results.

Martin rolled back over with a lot less effort and got out of bed into his walker and was able to walk around (with the walker) but put his weight on his legs and not his arms. He had much less pain after the treatment.

Jan 14 Saturday  2nd Scenar Treatment

I treated my friend Martin on Thursday and he has had less pain and somewhat better movement since. This afternoon I gave him his second treatment. After I was done he had much less pain and was able to walk around using only his cane and not the walker. It was cute as he was walking around I had to remind him that he was not using the walker.

We are both amazed at the results.

Jan 17th Tuesday  3rd Scenar Treatment

I gave Martin his third treatment today. He has kept most of his increased mobility and somewhat less pain since the last session, which was Saturday.

I sort of prepared both of us for a scenario where the Scenar would keep things at this level and prevent things from going back to where they were when we started.

So I treated his lower back and hip areas on both sides for about a total of 40 minutes.

He got out of bed and started walking around and said things were much better. The last time after the second treatment he walked with his cane but put a fair amount of weight on the cane. His movement and gait were stiff.

Today he hardly put any weight on the cane and his gait and movement were so much more relaxed and free. I could see it in not only his body language but in his face.

Martin thanked me profusely but I thanked him right back. It is such an amazing blessing to be able to help someone in this way. I feel I am getting more out of it than he is. I am so fortunate.

Martin still has a lot of pain but while still on morphine he has been able to reduce his hydrocodone intake from 8 tables a day down to 4.

Laying in bed has been the worst thing for him. I am hopeful with the increased mobility that he will walk a lot more and get his energy moving. Hopefully with more pain relief he can continue to reduce the pain meds.

He also has a lot of congestion in his lungs but has been able to bring things up. The last part of his treatment was over his chest area. We will see if that helps.

I wasn’t going to send an update but this treatment had such a positive dramatic effect that I had to share it.

January 20th Friday   4th Scenar Treatment

I spoke to Martin earlier in the day. He had gone to the oncologist today. He said he dodged a bullet. The doctor had planned some heavy-duty chemo for him but since he had so much less pain the doctor decided not to pursue the chemo. The Scenar treatments have greatly reduced his pain and improved his mobility. He said the chemo would have killed him.

Martin went food shopping today with his wife for the first time in 7 weeks. He uses the cane but it is more for keeping him balanced than anything.

So I went and saw Martin. He was in a lot of intense pain. Not from his lower back and hips. He had developed a really bad cough and the coughing had resulting in excruciating pain in his upper back and lung area. His face was just filled with pain and anxiety waiting for the next cough.

So I said, “lets start treatment with your chest and then turn over and I will do your back in the corresponding area.” By the time he rolled over the pain was almost gone. After I treated his back his voice was much less “froggy” and he was able to bring up a lot of phlegm. He said his pain was 85% less.

I am amazed and awed.

I then treated his lower back and hips. He is moving so well with a fraction of the pain that he had when I started treating him.

Sparing him from the chemo is such an amazing blessing.

My thoughts and feelings on all of this:

There have been several times when I left Martin’s place with tears in my eyes. They are tears of joy and sadness. The joy is seeing my good friend in so much less pain, avoiding chemo and being able to get some quality of life back. The sadness is in his long-term prognosis, which is never good with people with multiple myeloma.

As I said in the emails I feel I am one of the most fortunate people in the world to experience this Scenar miracle and help my dear friend. ~ Jim Freedman
