A new complementary medicine solution for chronic pain?
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
- Welcome everyone to the Health Ranger Report on Brighton.tv.
I'm Mike Adams, the Health Ranger and the founder of Brighteon.
And today we've got a new special guest for you who can help you explore solutions for chronic pain.
And not just fibromyalgia, although many people who suffer from that are also seeking solutions, but also sports injuries, old injuries, chronic injuries, and even some neurological damage.
I have some questions for our guest about that because of shedding that's going on.
So we're going to be right back to explore all of that with you here.
first-time guest here in our new studio, the Brighteon.com studios.
I'm Mike Adams.
We'll be right back after this break with that interview that you won't want to miss.
Stay with us.
We'll be right back.
Welcome back, folks, to the Health Ranger Report here on Brighteon.tv.
And today I'm joined by Laura Rosser from Prescribing Life.
The website is prescribinglife.com.
And by the way, welcome, Laura.
It's great to have you here.
Thank you, Mike, for having me.
I'm super excited to be here with you today.
Well, that's great.
I mean, the audience is going to be very excited to hear what you have to share with us because you have a special kind of complementary or alternative medicine treatment for people that almost no one has heard about, but it's helping thousands of people right now.
And it's not very well known in America, as I understand it, but it's very well known in Colombia and other countries around the world, including countries in Europe.
Give us, if you would please, a little background about what is your modality, what's it called, how does it work, and what do people need to know about it?
Oh, absolutely.
Yeah, well, as you said, unfortunately, it's not very well known here in the United States, and especially in countries that speak English.
However, it is very popular in Europe and South America.
So it is called neurotherapy.
And it's a therapy that started almost 100 years ago in Germany based on two doctors, two physicians, the Hunica brothers, who started experimenting on their sister because she was having chronic pain and they were trying to help her with whatever they could.
And they find out that through neural therapy, which I will explain in a second, they were able to help her to get relief from chronic migraines and something that we will call today fibromyalgia.
Now is it, just to be clear, is it neuro or neural?
Neural, so N-E-U-R-A-L. Okay, neural therapy.
Yes, sir.
And as, you don't have to call me sir, by the way.
I'm just used to it.
No, that's fine.
We're all friends here.
So, describe what this is, because it's minimally invasive.
But there are small injections involved.
So describe how that works, please.
That's right, yeah.
So basically, it's the application of local anesthesia in a specific areas of your body, your nervous system.
But everything we do, as you said, is minimally invasive, which means it's just right under the skin.
So we're going to go subcutaneously, just right under the skin, to a specific areas, and it's targeting the nervous system specifically.
So this is an art, I think, as well as a science, right?
That's correct.
And so in acupuncture, they have lines of energy and the way that the body organizes and uses energy tied to specific organ systems.
And in TCM, traditional Chinese medicine, they know the body is, of course, a whole.
Now, it seems like in your art, there's a similar type of recognition, correct?
Yes.
Oh, there is, and it's so beautiful how they both extrapolate, and we can compare some of the points and the lines that are found in TCM with the things that are found in neurotherapy.
So the nervous system is a network of information, and we can see it from the central nervous system, the brain, and then the spinal cord, to all the nerves in our body that they're all connected.
So everything that is happening in a specific area is going to affect everything else.
And that's the way also traditional Chinese medicines see it, because they're looking into There are energetic pathways that are all interconnected and they can affect other and violence and other areas of your body.
So with neural therapy, we identify from an anatomical point of view from, you know, also what is like combining Western and Eastern medicine.
Right.
And we can see how the nervous system and anatomically they extrapolate to some of the points there.
We also use something that is called the dermatome map, which is used by neurologists and neurosurgeons and us neurotherapists to identify those neural pathways.
And as I was saying, it's just so great to see how something that started, you know, 100 years ago can also be linked to traditional medicine that has been around for thousands of years.
So when someone comes to see you, you have a clinic in Houston, correct?
That's correct.
And as I understand it, you're also licensed to practice in Florida?
Yes.
Okay, so those are the two states where you practice in the U.S. right now?
Yeah.
When someone comes to see you, then are you...
I guess you have to understand how...
You're not just treating pain.
You have to treat the patient.
You have to understand where things are coming from, how they use their energy.
Is that correct?
Is that a fair assessment?
Oh, absolutely.
Absolutely.
So, first of all, as you said, we are just in two states in the United States right now.
We have patients from all over the country.
So the first thing we do is we have a telemed consultation with them, a virtual consultation, so we can assess them before they come to see if they're compatible to what we would like to treat with them.
And in this assessment, we are looking into their medical history, not just from an orthodox point of view, but also a very holistic way And we look into traumatic events that have passed to them since they're little.
And we're including their fractures, surgeries, any kind of scar tissue, for example.
Because we tend to think about scar tissue as something that is happening just to our skin or our tendons or our muscles.
Or, you know, I had a surgery, so they cut through my muscle, right, or through my skin.
But we forget that we're also cutting through nerves.
Even to the microscopic ones.
So if we have a great surgeon and they did a great job and they didn't damage any major nerves, which is ideal, right?
We forget that some of those nerves, the microscopic ones, were cut.
So after the nerves have been cut, it's really hard to reestablish the neural pathways and the connections that they have.
And that's why there are major clues for us to identify chronic pain in certain areas.
Okay, so talk to us about the types of pain that people come to you for treatment, and also the mind-body connection, because isn't it true that sometimes the physical pain that people are experiencing is an expression of maybe a mental trauma or behavioral trauma or a psychological event as well?
So give us kind of the overview of where this approach is effective.
Okay, absolutely.
So, Mike, as you said, our body is a whole, right?
It's all connected.
If we see our body in a holistic way, we'll say that all pain can be treated in the same way.
So I think that's a beautiful thing about neurotherapy.
We don't identify different kinds of pain because we know all of it is coming from the nervous system.
Since the nervous system is the one that is sending the signals, That produce the response of pain.
So we know that even though it's really hard for us to establish or for us as a patient especially to hear, oh well this is my diagnosis, so this must be treated in a different way than something else.
Because of, you know, it's very special or they told me it was really hard to get rid of or maybe I will never get better.
However, our nervous system has the ability to create new neural pathways and to heal itself as well.
So what your approach is doing is sort of teaching the body how to reconnect and reorganize its nervous system.
That is correct.
And then that allows the body to resolve its own issues.
That is correct.
So that's one of the parts, and that's why it's called neural therapy, because it is really based on the nervous system.
At the same time, we are giving it the ability to, well, if there is an issue, and usually with chronic pain what is happening is that your body is not being able to heal itself.
Right?
For any reason.
And that usually is linked to chronic inflammation.
Right?
So when we are dealing with chronic inflammation, we need to figure out why is that happening.
Usually it's because there is chronic toxicity.
Right?
But we try to deal with it in different ways and with neurotherapy we identify the inflammation and through the application of local anesthesia we are diminishing the inflammatory response in our body and we are also increasing the amount of blood that is going to, or the circulation that is going to certain places.
So we are increasing the amount of oxygen and nutrition.
So it's almost...
So, I mean, in terms of what you're actually injecting, you told me earlier it's a very low concentration of, what is it, lidocaine in saline?
Yes, it is, exactly.
So we're applying local anesthesia and saline, so it is a very low concentration of it.
And you might think, you know, most people ask as well, if it's...
Local anesthesia, is this going to be like a numbing effect, right?
And, well, you know, many medications over time have been created with one reason.
And I love this example because everybody knows about this.
Aspirin was created to eliminate or to mask patients.
Chronic pain or minor pains and headaches, for example.
And then over time, it's switched into being a great blood thinner.
And that's what people use it the most nowadays.
So the thing about local anesthesia is that besides being a great gnomic agent for minor surgery, It is also a great anti-inflammatory agent and as well it can open up blood vessels like we were just talking about.
So it increases the concentrations of oxygenation and of nutrition into specific areas that have been depleted from it.
So that is really important.
So it's not about masking pain.
It's about, as you said, you're increasing oxygenation.
You're increasing blood flow.
It's about provoking the body's response.
Exactly.
To do something now useful with, let's say, a bundle of nerves that has been surrounded by inflamed, angry cells up until now.
That is correct.
So it is a very subtle approach in the way that we are not forcing or masking your body to do anything, but we are just providing good tools in order for that to happen.
And someone's pain may be much deeper in their body, right?
So let's say like a hip joint or something.
You're not injecting the hip joint.
What you're doing is you're treating, again, subcutaneously, very small depth, very low concentration lidocaine, nerves that surround the issue.
Exactly.
Right?
Yeah.
But yet, you're getting results, deep results, holistic results.
Talk to us about the results a little bit of what people experience.
Well, they're amazing.
And we have treated thousands of people here in the United States.
I have experience on this over 10 years.
And I'm just so glad and I'm so thankful with God for the opportunity that has given me to just do what I do.
So, okay, I'm going to tell you about a case that just happened this week that I'm so happy about.
So this lady coming from Florida, she came here to Houston In January.
And she's having this dystrophy onto her legs, so she's not being able to walk well because of chronic pain.
She was having an issue on her lower back that was causing basically a bulging disc between L4 and L5 that was not allowing her to move really well.
So at the end of the day, she was having to have a walker for almost two years in order to be able to mobilize herself.
She tried, you know, many different things including conventional medicine to correct the issue.
Without nothing to help her.
And her physicians were telling her, well, this is a degenerative process.
For now, you can stay with the medicine and at some point we'll have to just do surgery on you or you can just continue.
Maybe next time you're going to be in a wheelchair.
Not a very inspiring message, but yeah, that's what doctors, conventional doctors often end up with.
Here, take these pain pills.
So those were her options and thank goodness she's a rebel.
So she didn't believe in those options and she looked for something else.
And she looked, you know, she tried many different things that helped her a lot on the way, but she was still, you know, in a lot of pain.
And still on her walker.
So tell us about the transformation.
She came in January and she stayed in Houston for a week.
So we had a week of treatments.
Every day we had treatment with her and the pain diminished dramatically in that first week.
And she was really excited.
I was, of course, super happy to see her doing so well.
And usually what happens, this is, of course, a process.
Since we are not masking anything, since this is your body rebuilding itself, it needs time.
So usually for chronic pain, it needs between 14 and 30 sessions, depending on what the issue is.
Between 14 and 30, you said?
Yes, sir.
Which is not too long for chronic pain, right?
But still, so then the sessions are done over...
Probably six months to eight months.
So she came for those sessions, and then she was too—I saw her this week again.
This was her second set of sessions, and she came to the office without a walker.
Wonderful.
And she was like, do you recognize me?
Because, you know, she looked completely different.
She's been doing, of course, physical therapy.
She's taking care of her health.
She changed the way she eats as well, which is really important.
So, of course, in any kind of medicine is...
50-50, right?
50 what you can do as a nutritionist, as a physician, as you know, as you're helping that person.
And the other thing is what that person is doing for themselves.
So clearly, you know, a skeptic might say, well, you're just masking the pain with the injections.
But that lidocaine would wear off in a couple of hours.
And yet what you're describing when your patients come back weeks later...
It's a transformation.
That is correct.
So you're right.
And actually, lidocaine, usually, for example, and you guys, I'm sure everybody is aware of this, if you have been on the dentist, they put lidocaine on you, they start working 20, 30 minutes, starts working off, they have to inject again, right?
And at the end of the day, you can start feeling...
Pain coming back into those areas.
So definitely not numbing.
We're not looking at the local anesthetic from the anesthetic point of view.
But the results, they last.
And the idea is that this treatment is not ongoing treatment, but that has a long-lasting effect.
Now, let's also talk about opioids, because as all of you know, watching this in America, especially, we have an opioid epidemic, and I've been in public, I lost a family member to an overdose of fentanyl that was tied to opioid abuse because of chronic pain.
And I think many, most families probably have somebody related to them who has either suffered from addiction to opioids or an overdose death of opioids or fentanyl or something of that kind.
One of the reasons I wanted to interview you is because what you offer, which I have not experienced it myself, by the way, so I can't yet speak from first-person experience, but what you offer is an alternative to the pathway of opioid addiction that destroys tens of thousands of lives in America every single year, including lives of my own family.
So talk to us about that.
Have you had people come to you who've been able to get off of opioids?
Please.
So, yeah, sadly, there is over 100 million Americans suffering from chronic pain, and more than 70% of them are on opioids.
This usually doesn't de-escalate, but every time, like, you get on opioids, and it will just start getting worse.
Harder and harder to win off of them.
You need a higher and higher dose to get the pain reduction.
Exactly.
To get the pain reduction or to even not just to maintain a little bit of quality of life.
Because usually what happens is that you're not getting the same effect, even if you increase the dosage, which is, you know, the saddest part.
And that's why things like what happened to your cousin happen every day, sadly.
So...
This is different in that way because we are not acting as an ongoing treatment, but it is so sad that people have to go through that and there is nothing else available.
That can, you know, solve the problem, really.
And if you are presented, I think, and this is what I tell my patients every day, this is an option that is different.
It's a different path that you can take from the only path that you're That it has been presented to you.
So it's good to have options.
It's good to be educated.
I wish everybody that is, you know, listening and watching us go and do some research and look for testimonials.
Call us.
We have a lot of information that we can give you guys even before you come to the office.
But we need to be educated about the different options that are out there and that there are solutions for cases like yours.
So the website is prescribinglife.com.
Let me ask you some practical questions that people will ask.
So they're going to want to know roughly what do the treatments cost.
And I'm guessing that typical health insurance probably does not cover this because it's not traditional conventional medicine.
Is that correct?
That is correct, sadly.
Yeah, they're not wanting us there just yet, but hopefully one day we can do that.
In other countries, you know, it's completely, it's part of their insurance system, so hopefully we can do that one day here.
So the way we evaluate our patients is depending on, you know, obviously the case, comorbidities they have, And what kinds of pain they have.
Because when we see one person, we don't want to say, oh, well, I want you to treat my migraines, but I also have lower back pain.
Or I also have knee pain.
It happens so many times.
Or neck pain.
We're seeing...
A patient as a whole.
So we need to see everything that is going on with that person and understand everything.
So the prizes go from the most acute thing from, you know, we also see many athletes as well because this is great.
Just to rebuild systems very quickly.
So depending on the issue, it could be from $180 per session to $350 per session.
So we try to make it as affordable as possible for people.
If you compare it with other options that are out there that are alternative, This is the cheapest thing that you can find out.
Yeah, and also think about what it costs to be in pain and to not be able to work or to not be able to function.
Absolutely.
And, you know, it brings up so many issues and so many questions.
So for people who have chronic pain and they have been suffering, their lives are destroyed.
In so many cases, right?
They cannot function.
They can't think because the pain is the dominant conscious experience of their day-to-day life.
Those kind of people would, I mean, they would pay anything if it works for them, right?
So, and I know you've treated people in that situation who probably would consider it to be like the bargain of a lifetime to even have some reduction in pain.
Absolutely.
But it takes several treatments.
It's not overnight, right?
It's not a pill.
Well, and that's interesting that you mentioned that, Mike, because for some patients...
And that's our goal.
In the first five sessions, we start seeing results.
So that's something, I'm glad you mentioned that, because that's something that we see, and with the people who the treatment is going to work, which is over 90% of our patients who start You know, seeing as we start the program, you can start seeing the results in the first five sessions.
And for some, in the first session as well.
How long do the sessions take for the injections?
Between 15 and 40 minutes, depending on what we're doing that day.
And the good thing after that is that, you know, people can go shop, can go back to work, can do their workouts.
So there's minimal side effects to it.
Like, you know, it's very safe.
So there is no issues about that.
Now, let's talk about, since we've had the spike protein exposure issue, there's been shedding, a lot of people have been exposed to this, really this biological weapon nanoparticle.
I know people personally who have suffered extensive internal neurological damage, even after taking one vaccine.
And they describe it as being in constant nerve pain.
Throughout their system and brain pain, migraines are one of the most common side effects of these vaccine injections.
Absolutely.
Does your therapy, neural therapy, does it offer some solutions for people who are suffering this kind of systemic internal neurological suffering of some kind?
I don't even know what you call it.
Yeah, so since this is very recent, right, the data is not completely, you know, we don't have enough patients to say this is going to work for everybody, but we have been doing really well with most patients who have taken treatment because of chronic pain caused, you know, after taking the vaccine.
And so with those injections...
I'm wondering how the nerves are distributed throughout the skull and throughout the body.
Where do those injections end up getting placed or selected around the body?
I think that is the main skill, part of the art and science of neurotherapy.
It's very individual, so it depends on every patient and their symptoms.
It's not just about where it hurts.
But also where your trauma has been.
And as we were talking before, not just your physical trauma, but also your mental trauma or emotional trauma, because that has a lot to do with it.
For example, it's not the same thing that you had a car accident 20 years ago that you have no recollection of or you didn't really care much about, and maybe you still have some shoulder issues about it, that a trauma that happened 30 years ago in a car accident where you lost your family.
Right?
Because that's carrying a lot of other kinds of information in there that is not just affecting you mentally and emotionally, but those two are directly linked into your body, are creating hormones and neurotransmitters that create inflammation.
Right.
So are prolonging the cycle of chronic pain.
Yeah, and then let's talk about nutrition and food for a minute because...
For people to heal, they need to have a healthy diet, good nutrition, healthy blood.
Absolutely.
As you talked about, a lot of the chronic pain that people are suffering from is related to systemic chronic inflammation, which is sometimes related to diet as well.
So I imagine there are people who are injured, so they have an acute physical injury, but then it's exacerbated by a chronic inflammatory or even allergic response to something that they're consuming all the time.
And they're not eating anti-inflammatory foods.
So how do you incorporate...
You know, nutritional advice into your treatments.
Oh, well, I think you summarized it very well.
Obviously, nutrition is very important, and that's why when we were talking about levels of how we categorize our patients, we need to understand where that person is in every aspect of their life to know how heavily inflamed they are or not.
So what we tend to do with patients or what we tell them, first of all, the first thing is, What is your lifestyle?
So we ask for things just as common as, do you drink, do you smoke, right?
But then we get a little deeper with them into their diets, especially for people who have very chronic issues.
And the easiest way to see this for us is that the younger you are, the fastest you respond to the treatment.
And for people, we'll usually say, well, it's obvious, you're young, so you're healthy.
But why are you healthy because you're young?
Is it because you're young or is it because you haven't polluted your body with toxicity for, you know, so many years?
And that's usually the reason why.
Interesting.
Yeah, it's not a chronological age as much as it is duration of exposure.
It's a biological, metabolical age.
Absolutely.
Well, this is really fascinating, Laura.
I would love to talk to some of your patients at some point.
You know, we're not that far from your clinic.
Maybe talk to some of them and see if they want to come on camera because this is a really important solution and I'd like to share this and I'd also like to Maybe encourage some other alternative or complementary medicine practitioners out there watching this.
This might be something you want to learn and add to your area of treatment in your own clinic, right?
Absolutely.
I invite everybody who wants to do it to please contact us.
One of our goals is We also are the founders of the American Society of Neurotherapy since it didn't exist here before.
So we really want to help and encourage other physicians and nurses and any health practitioner who is interested to help us to build this because it is important for people to have other options and options that actually work without being harmful to them.
Well said.
Well, and I also want to say thank you for bringing this to us and thank you for what you're doing and helping people in a way that has virtually zero risk.
I mean, nothing is exactly zero, but it's as close to zero as you typically get, you know, in medicine.
And that doesn't scar them, doesn't remove something from their body, teaches their body how to function better.
Thank you.
Thank you for everything you do.
You inspire me a lot as well.
Really?
Yes, you do.
I didn't know you watch our stuff.
Well, you know, as I was saying, preventative medicine is the best way of taking care of anything.
Right.
So I wouldn't be necessary if everybody would be eating well and having a great lifestyle.
Right.
Well, people still injure themselves.
You know, people wouldn't be suffering like they are right now.
So I think that is super important.
So really, thank you.
It's my honor to do what I do.
I'm really happy and blessed, but I'm also happy to be here.
So thank you.
Well, we thank you for being here, sharing this with us.
Website, folks, is prescribinglife.com.
And this is Laura Rosser, and she does have a clinic in Houston, and people do fly in from all over the country.
And this is, of course, the first time we're talking about this.
I'm interested in learning more and hopefully interviewing more in the future, and especially interviewing.
Bring a client success with you.
Okay, awesome.
Let's ask them about the experience, right?
Yes, yes, yes.
Absolutely.
Okay, cool.
All right.
And I have a goat with a hip problem, too.
No, I'm serious.
I love to take care of my animals, and I have an older goat.
Well, actually, I guess it's her shoulder, but do you ever treat animals?
So it's funny you ask, because there are neurotherapists that are veterinarians.
There we go.
So this is so common in Europe and in other countries that it is used for many different things.
And of course, animals, they respond really well to it.
And I love my animals.
They're like family members, right?
Of course.
I understand.
Me too.
Yeah.
You got to keep them healthy.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, thank you for watching, folks.
