Possible Cure For Charcot Marie Tooth Syndrome

68

By Terryandco

I have been diagnosed with CMT disease since the age of 14, and for a long time now I have been in hope of a cure that simply didn't come. After 26 years of my life there is no "known" cure for it! However I believe that I have found my own cure and I want to share this with all CMT sufferers. Please read till the end of the page.

So just incase you didn't already know, Charcot Marie Tooth, also known as CMT, Dejerine-Sottas Disease and Peroneal Muscular Atrophy is a heriditary disease that affects the peripheral nervous system. Myelin, an important part of the nerve protection fails in growth which leads to weak and damaged nerves. It basically means that the messages that our brain sends to parts of our body are not recieved fully. Hence the lack of movement and control that we have in my feet and toes.

So therefore I was forced to look for my own form of treatment. I'm a down to earth kind of person with a strong mind and believe only in things that I see as a matter of fact. I'm not religous and I don't believe in miracles - but I do believe in one thing - The human mind. It's commonly said that we only use 1,000th of our brain power, and I am a strong believer of this. One day I watched a man weighing no more than 130 pounds lift weights that could not be lifted by professional body builders. The body builders were in complete amazement, they thought that what they had just witnessed was not possible from such a small man with tiny skinny arms and no muscle. The man who lifted the weights described that it was simply a case of mind over matter. It's important that we know that our mind and body are connected in everything we do and with the right training and methods you can achieve more with your mind than you ever thought physcially possible.

To back this up take the commonly known placebo effect. Today scientists are still baffled by so many experiments that shows how powerful the brain really is. Here's an example that seems unexplainable. 50 people were given a drug to cure a common disease, whilst another 50 people were given a placebo (a sugar tablet). Both groups of people think that they have the real drug. After two weeks the people that were given the real tablets had improvement of 72%. Amazingly the people that had been given the placebo improved by 68%. This happens all of the time when expirementing new drugs. What scientists have found is that when the brain believes it is taking a drug that will heal the body - then it will heal, regardless of whether the drug is real or a placebo. The brain creates the neccessary chemicals in order to heal the body.

Another experiement I would like to share with you is the Harvard study. One group of people were told to excersize their little finger for 15 minutes a day for 3 months. Another group of people were told to simply visualise excersizing their finger for 15 minutes a day for 3 months. After 3 months the people who had done the excersizes registered a strength increase of just over 50%, whilst the people who had only visualized the excersizes saw an increase of over 35%. The brain doesn't know the difference between the real thing and visualing. Play the video to see more about it.

So, back on track.... I found a book by David Hamilton (The guy in the video) called "How Your Mind Can Your Body". I was initially very sceptical but then learned that it does exactly what it says on the tin. The Author, David Hamilton has a PHD in science but changed his medical career due to realising how strong the Placebo effect was in healing people. He turned his attention instead to teaching people how they can heal themselves with only their brain and through mental visualising. He teaches how you can turn genes on and off, and how you can heal any part of the human body with your brain. Theres plenty of evidence and not much room for doubts about the possibilities you have after reading this book.

It's a hard thought to think that you could heal your CMT with your mind, especially considering you have been told that CMT is incurable for your whole life, but I urge you to get yourself a copy of the book and make up your own mind. I now completely understand the connection between the brain and the body, and through visualising using the techniques in this book I am already seeing improvement. I have been able to improve the movement and the control that I have in my feet, especially when it comes to my footdrop in just a small amount of time. You can get the book below from Amazon.

Have you ever heard these stories of people that have recovered from a disease, after having being told that there was no cure and no possibility of living. People say "it was a miracle".... I say it was the brain that did the healing.

This book doesn't belong to me and nor is the author a friend of mine. I guenuinly have Charcot Marie Tooth syndrome and have had to put up with it for too long. As much as I've always tried to remain positive it has restricted me in so many ways due to my lack of confidence which stems from my lack of balance. I know what it feels like walking on an unbalanced surface, walking down stairs with nothing to hold on to, walking into a room full of people staring at your feet, not being able to do normal things like paintballing or skiing whilst appearing boring and dull at the same time, and putting up with uneducated remarks! and this is my reason for sharing this book with you. By no means does the book or I promise you results,but it's working for me and I believe it can work for you to.

Please share your comments, thoughts and stories below. Have you read the book and experienced improvement? Have you ever tried reiki or holistic healing? What works for you?...
