Dr. Oz cleverly created a list of important 3 M’s to follow in order to relieve your chronic pain. Chronic pain may be caused by mechanical or medical conditions. While medical conditions (e.g., disease, hormonal problems) may offer straightforward diagnoses, mechanical conditions (such as adhesions) can be difficult to diagnose and treat, causing frustration for patients and their physicians.

Dr. Oz’s Round Up

Medications

These are not harmful themselves, however overuse is when they become a hazard. The only thing that distinguishes a drug from poison is the dose.

  • Vitamin D- Skip taking your vitamin and soak up some natural rays.
  • Acetyl L-Carnitine- Can be found over-the-counter.Helps with nerve pain.

Movement

  • Wear a speedometer and track your steps. Aim for 10,000 steps a day. Start low at first and gradually increase.
  • Do the pelvic tilt. 5-10 times for 5 seconds each.

Meals

  • Avoid processed foods including sugar, refined flours, soda and alcohol. These are pro inflammatory (increase inflammation).
  • Aim to eat anti-inflammatory foods such as fish (salmon, halibut, etc.) beans and even add Turmeric.

Video: Reclaiming Life After Surgery and Bowel Obstruction

This place is saving lives.

I thought, you know, I do have a chance at a quality of life again, and I know that these people have saved my life.

I thought it was very important that I share some of the things that I have gone through in my life that are directly related to many surgeries that I have had that have caused me to have bowel obstructions and many, many surgeries.


At the age of 38, I entered the hospital and was given a 20 percent chance to live in the emergency room. Immediately, I was taken upstairs to the intensive care unit. My mother and my wife sat next to my bed and watched me for 69 days hoping and praying that I would eventually heal.

They were told that the best thing they could do was that I would at best be in a wheel chair and at best I would have brain damage. After the 69 days, I came out of a coma. I was very miserable and weighed about 100 pounds. At that point I looked at myself, at all the tubes, and wondered, how am I going to get through this.

I finally got out of the hospital and little did I know how important physical therapy would become in my life.

One day, I’m sitting on the sofa with my wife and start experiencing some severe pain. She suggested that we go to the hospital so we go to the hospital. They had diagnosed me with a bowel obstruction. I had no idea what a bowel obstruction was or that I could get a bowel obstruction from my first surgery. They repaired the bowel obstruction, and what I mean by repair is they remove nine inches of what they call a twisted bowel and I remained in the hospital for 32 days.

The most annerving thing I ever heard was, “There’s nothing we can do about this, you’re probably going to get another bowel obstruction, and we will see you again.” I was flored at that point and very confused, very hurt. I did not know what I was going to do.

I started my search. I did not know where to start, I did not know what I was doing, and didn’t really know what a bowel obstruction was. Later I found out that actually it is the adhesion that actually closes off the bowel which could cause a partial and sometimes even a complete obstruction. There’s nothing they can do about these adhesions, which once again, was very upsetting.

I started first by looking on the internet. I searched for weeks looking for something. By the grace of God, I clicked on a site that speaks about an incredible system that has been developed by Larry and Belinda Wurn. This process is actually called the Wurn Technique.

You do not have to go through the painful process of the NG tube and the healing and the pain that goes along with that. There is someone out there that can put you in a situation where it will not happen again. This technology is out there, this technique is out here.

This place is saving lives. There’s no other way I can put it. They are saving lives. That is why I am sitting right here, right now, telling my story.
