Motor Neuron Disease

RE: Motor Neuron Disease

Lisa - I am sure in some way it will help. I didn't try using Reiki with my Dad for a couple of reasons which now seem very selfish.
However I did finally use it about two hours before he died - it felt right as I was holding his hand. Still I dont know if I was helping me or him.

Reiki can do no harm and the receiver takes what they need are the principles I have been taught which I is true.
Good luck
Lynn

RE: Motor Neuron Disease

Hi Lisa!

Have lots of experience with MND, to be honest I am not sure about the whole reiki thing with MND and higest good as there is only one outcome with MND. Do you know which type the prospective client has?

It never would have felt right for me to do reiki with this but thats just my ethos however I did find that gentle movements on the limbs to be very soothing and pleasing to client also reflex (hand or foot)and depending on neck strength a gentle session of IHM - a lot will depend on what type and how far progressed they are.

RE: Motor Neuron Disease

My wife has motor neurone disease. She is 46 and was diagnosed 2 years ago, though she has had it for 3 or more years. She finds it very helpful to have gentle manipulation of her shoulder, ankle and hip joints. Gentle massage to the calf muscles is also very good. It is very important to keep as much mobilisation as possible in the joints, it will help to prevent some pain, but will not get rid of it totally.
My wife also has aromatherapy once a month. She really enjoys this. This has a much more emotional effect although the gentle massage does soothe her shoulders and upper back.
Hope this is of help to anyone that deals with MND sufferers.

RE: Motor Neuron Disease

There are many approaches I feel which would be useful for the client - if they were welcome to them - Time Line Therapytm Hypnosis would be excellent - may I please ask what the doctors say MND is - I have recently attended a training looking into the biological reasons for every illness around - so if I may know a bit more about it I can go away and see if I can offer any more help 😉

My mother is motor neuron for 2 years. I have been treating her for 30 mins everyday. I am level 2. I dont know how much i heal her but she is getting worser everyday, both in mind and physical. She is in very deep depression for a long time. If anyone knows any treatment method which will help, please inform me.

hi morningstar, my dad had mnd for 2 and bit years took them a while do diagnoise him, i lost him in 2002, my mum used to give lots of massages everyday, we were told exersise is not ideal with mnd? i used to give my dad lots of foot massages at weekends when i visted, he was always a loud happy bloke but he got depressed alot locked himself in a room once i think it is one of the affects mnd causes, cos he used to cry alot and say he couldnt stop? my dad was a very stong and brave man and anyone else who suffers from mnd, my dad had to have a peg fitted 6 months before he passed away, and one thing with mnd it doesnt affect the brain he was as funny as ever conplaining he couldnt have a beer! to me it was a little easier as i didnt live at home and didnt see him suffer everyday, it was hard for my mum being only 48 and being married to my dad for 30 years she cared for him at home full time, although i dont know how the english gov expect termilly ill people and the carers survive on pennies each week, he was only 52, mum is now living in spain with us and we have given her two lovely granchilden youngest being three weeks so she has started to live again, she also getting married next year, i guess after 6 years you can move on but we never truly forget them special people that fight all the way. this world can be a cruel one

I would like to hear of anyones recent experience please in relation to providing support to those with motor neurone.

Hi Ann

Don't know if it's any help but I had a guy who came for Reiki who had MND. It may not have stopped the condition but I do think he had some solace in the healing. Don't know if thats what you are looking for.

I also have someone who comes (has for three years now) who has a long term more insidious condition where she may have to use a wheelchair eventually and I do know she gets an amazing energy boost after treatment where she has two good weeks and the third seems to go gradually downhill and then she comes back.

It is not MND or MS but is still a condition whereby she has a degeneration of the myelin sheath resulting in pain and weakness.

Hi Ann

There are several lifestyle choices that can contribute to slowing the progression of many neurodegenerative conditions. Things like avoiding known neurotoxins such as fluoride, and avoiding exitotoxin intake (put very simply chemicals that over excite neurons causing them to die). There are also certain antioxidants etc that help prevent damage to neurons by reducing free radicals, and nutrients for helping certain enzyme pathways, reducing inflammation etc. Not all nutrient supplementation is helpful - iron is a potent free radical producer for example, and excess iron accumulation is seen in many neurodegenerative conditions.

But it is possible to track down from existing lifestyle choices where improvements can be made, both to reducing the environmental factors contributing to a condition, and to dietary support and supplementation.

A bit tip of the iceberg on the subject, (heavy metals, cell energy, specific mineral/vitamin deficiency, blood brain barrier, blood sugar imbalances etc) but hope that helps.

Thanks for your responses. I feel a bit overwhelmed at the moment and helpless to be honest but will read as much as I can to do the best I can so all input is welcome.
