The stories of our success!

Brooke, 12 years old, 6th grade – Chronic Pain
Brooke came home from school with severe pain in her feet and legs. Her feet and toes were swollen with a purplish tint to them. She said the pain was as if needles and sharp knives were poking her repeatedly but there was no blood. She felt pain merely to the touch. Her feet and knees were the most severe. I took her to her pediatrician who had another Dr. in the office look at her feet as well. Both Drs. suspected the pain and swelling was caused by a complication from a stomach virus she had had the first week of January. She had blood work taken to test for a myriad of diseases, all of which came back negative. Her Dr. referred her to a Neurologist. In the meantime, he recommended we try Tylenol, Ibuprofen and Benadryl at certain increments to see if there was any relief in the pain. The swelling and purplish color went away but the severe pain remained. She was unable to walk without assistance. Even with assistance, she walked very slowly and it caused her more pain. Many times she had to be carried.

Brooke went to a Neurologist. He did varying tests during her office visits and concluded that her pain was not a neurological problem. He referred her to a Rheumatologist. With each Dr.'s visit I mentioned that Brooke started experiencing migraines at the age of seven. She also experienced stomachaches along with numbness in her arms and hands and on parts of her head prior to the migraines. She was taking medications to relieve these migraines which were Amitryptiline 10 ml, Melatonin 3ml, Tylenol or Ibuprofen. The Pediatric Neurologist, five years earlier, determined she was sleep deprived which was triggering the migraines. None of the Dr.'s felt there was any connection between the migraines and her current pain in her feet and legs.

Brooke went to the Rheumatologist at Denver's Children's Hospital. After examining her in the office, the Dr. concluded thatBrooke did not have rheumatoid arthritis and diagnosed her with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. The same diagnosis her pediatrician thought. She was given a prescription for Naprosyn 500ml 2X aday plus Tylenol. Brooke said this alleviated a little bit of the pain, but not much. The Dr. recommended her to a Pain Clinic.

We took Brooke to the Colorado Pain Specialists in Denver. The CRPS diagnosis was confirmed. The Dr. recommended a procedure called Lumbar Sympathy Block. During this time Brooke was not in school, and could not sleep day or night because of the pain. She would fall asleep from exhaustion, basically napping around the clock. She was still not walking on her own. We were told that if we did not get a handle on her pain, it would get worse and could possibly move throughout her body with a possibility of never experiencing any relief. The sense of urgency to find a cure was escalated. The Dr. prescribed Neurontin, Methadone, Steroid Pack, Percocet as needed, continue the Naprosyn and Tylenol and also added Cymbalta. We never gave her the Cymbalta because she did not seem depressed to us.

Brooke had the Lumbar Sympathy Block. Within 24 hours her pain increased worse than it ever had before.The following night we took her to the ER at Skyridge Medical Center. They gave her an injection of pain medication to relieve the pain. (I do not recall the medication). About three hours later she finally fell asleep

We returned to the pain clinic, obviously very desperate. The options at this point were to either do the Lumbar Sympathy Block again, up to 7 times to see if therewould be any relief of pain. Or, another procedure which I do not recall the name, however, it was described to us as inserting a device in her lower spine with a cord and dial attachment. She would then be able to dial up or down depending on the level of her pain and it would send electrodes to her nerve endings to relieve the pain. These options were too scary for us to consider. Brooke's father and I both did not want to proceed with either option. We felt like we had hit a brick wall and there was no hope with any relief of pain for our daughter. Upon Brooke's request, we rented a wheelchair for her so she could get around instead of staying at home in pain. She wanted to keep moving even though she hurt.

During this time my mother suggested we see a Chiropractor in Houston where they live. Darryl, Brooke's father, mentioned this to the pain Specialist and he told us, don't you dare let a Chiropractor get his hands on your daughter. We never went back to the pain clinic. After contacting the Chiropractor in Houston, he recommended Dr. Cody Golman in Denver.

The following week we took Brooke to see Dr. Cody Golman. On the way home, after Brooke's first Chiropractic treatment, Brooke said her lower back pain was going away. It was the first time since she had been experiencing this pain in January that the pain had lessened. We were shocked, elated and skeptical all at the same time. We continued bringing Brooke for treatments three times a week. Her pain gradually started going away from her hips down to her feet. She experienced the pain level getting better then at times worse again, back and forth. Dr. Golman explained it like a pendulum going back and forth, the key being that she kept moving forward in relief of her pain.

Brooke is experiencing very little pain in her feet and knees. She describes her pain at times as a tingling feeling in her feet and knees. She is back to all of her normal activities such as swimming, bike riding, shopping,and all the things 13-year-old girls like to do.She receives Zone treatments once a week and soon less often.

Today…Brooke is happy, healthy and living a normal Life. We are happy to report that Brooke got her life back!

Cindy, Multiple Symptoms
During the first part of this year, I suddenly became ill. My joints were so painful and swollen it was hard to move. I also was told that my thyroid was overactive. I was seeing doctors every week, and they were unable to help me. I continued to see Dr. Golman and my symptoms gradually dissipated. Three months later when the specialists finally came up with a diagnosis, my symptoms were almost completely gone. They (the Doctors) could not believe that I did not need ongoing treatment. My “overactive thyroid” is completely normal now!! I have also struggled in maintaining a regular period cycle, and NOW – my cycle is regular!! – Cindy Wright

I’ve been coming to see my Zone Doctor for about 9 mos. I came on the referral of a friend to relieve back pain. I have had some chronic issues that I had decided I was going to have to “live with” the rest of my life. Since starting with Dr. Golman I’ve seen significant changes.

    My periods were never regular: now every month on the same day.
    I was diagnosed with a thyroid condition: now it’s normal.
    I was plagued by seasonal allergies: now no symptoms.
    My fibromyalgia is gone.
    But biggest of all for me – I have never been able to eat poultry products. NOW – I can!

I believe that I have benefited greatly by the Zone Healing method. My body is adjusting easier and I am feeling better the longer I’ve been coming. I know the adjustments have enabled healing in all 3 areas especially during the period of illness. The medical doctors couldn’t come up with a specific diagnosis and have been unable to help. I believe that if I had not come to the Zone Healing Center, I would still be ill and suffering

Marcy, Multiple Symptoms
I have been seeing another Chiropractor for two years. In two years, my headaches decreased, but never went away. We never discussed life choices and we never discussed how my body can heal itself. I started seeing Dr. Golman because he was at a more convenient location than my previous doctor. I had heard him speak on several occasions and was quite skeptical of his promises. After one month of visiting Dr. Golman, I noticed a change in my breathing. My airways seemed to open up. I stopped blowing my nose all day long. My headaches completely disappeared. In the past, I would buy large family size Tylenol and Advil. I haven’t bought a bottle in six months. Not to mention that I have saved on Kleenex! For three years, I was on 20 milligrams of Diovan (blood pressure medication). My medical doctor has removed this medication completely. I have also been on medication called Lexapro. This medication has been decreased from 10 milligrams to 5 milligrams. Dr. Golman has not only helped me with health issues, but also helped me with physical ailments. Quite often my lower back (hip area) would get “stuck.” I can’t remember the last time I have had lower back pain. When lifting weights, I sometimes would have my elbows get “stuck.” This does not happen anymore. Also I was diagnosed at a young age with Arthritis. Whenever I feel the ache in my wrists and arms, I visit Dr. Golman and the pain subdues. After one week, even my fingers feel more flexibility. I have the reading material that Dr. Golman suggested. Each week he tries to personalize my reading to my life. Seeing Dr. Golman has made me a happier human being. He has forever changed my way of seeing the medical profession.

Rayette, Chronic Pain Treatment 1
Zone 1 the Glandular System
My first treatment with Dr. Golman I experienced no more shooting pains in my legs. I could walk flat-footed with minimal pain. I felt a relief emotionally that finally a path of a pain free life was available. Even though I still had pain in my hips, it was a different type of pain. My chest was tight and breathing was limited to the amount of pain I was willing to endure for a deep breath. Pain consumed my body at night. I finally had a light in the darkness that made my heart feel relief. All though I did not sleep through the night without pain, I was able to take a nap, which was not a possibility prior to my treatment. It may have been a mental issue from child hood afraid that I might miss something. Keeping my self-tied up in knots.
Homework: read “Vanity and Aspiration” from “Rays of the Dawn: Natural Laws of the Body Mind and Sole” by Dr. Thurman Fleet. Vanity? Why Vanity? I am not vain. Aspiration, isn’t that like a desire to do something? You aspire it! Right? I found my vanity really quick. See I am the vanity that is insecure so I hide myself behind what God gave me to work with. Nothing outlandish that makes people turn and look and say wow that person is really lost in their identity. I have a very soft very subtle ways of making myself stand out (illusion) the kind that makes one do a double take to confirm what they thought they saw. Then I thought back to when I went through chemotherapy; one of the hardest things that I had to face in the year of torture was loosing my hair. With scars and stitches all over my chest, radical chemo every two weeks, radiation, I didn’t want to loose my hair. Even though I hated my hair, it was mine and I didn’t want to look like a chemo patient. Bald? Not acceptable. How vain is that? Aspiration: (Webster’s Dictionary; Aspiration: a strong desire to achieve something high or great). I couldn’t even recall what I had read. I thought my mind was failing me. “ I’m not stupid” again, Vanity? I could not recall what I had read. My Zone Doctor explained that my mind did not fail me. What my mind did was human and that my mind was not ready to accept or understand Aspiration.

Treatment 2
Zone 5 The Muscular System
The tightness in my chest was gone; I was able to breath, the pain in my arms and back was gone. I was able to take another nap, this time for hours and then sleep through the night. The hip and back pains were barely noticeable. Little movement through the night. During the treatment my Zone Doctor explained to me the different things that happen to people mentally, physically and emotionally that go through the therapy. That we needed to get me to where I belonged because this that I was doing was not me.
Homework: Fear and Faith. Ok I read Fear first. My soul became flooded with my past and the extreme fear that I lived under. The inability to find good in the pain. Trust issues came up. I don’t know how to trust. If I trust, I leave myself open for pain (fear). If I let go and trust again how do I stop from being hurt (fear). How do I know that they are not just going to lie to me to get what they want (fear). Then the questions “Who am I?” “What do I want to do?” “Where do I want to go?” Guess what Raynette? You can’t do any of the above until you learn how to Trust. You must look fear in its eye and determine what it is that you are afraid of. Come to terms with the demon, take back the ownership, and leave it where it stands. Well I determined that I was Afraid of not being noticed, Afraid of not getting the proper credit for the things that I had done, Afraid of being forgotten and swept under the carpet, Afraid that no one would hear me. I want to be successful and happy in the things I do and most importantly Proud and Pleased with me. Raynette you must accept that the past and the things that you once felt comfort in are no longer there. They are History as one would say. You can’t bring them back, you can’t change what happened. You must pick up and go forward without the luggage from the past. Pick yourself up, brush yourself off, and get back on the highway. Not only do you have to let go of the suitcase, you must let go of the items inside the suitcase. You cannot take out the items and put them in a new suitcase, you must let it all go. The hurt, the pain, the lack of trust in “Man Kind” decide where you are going to store that energy. Are you going to allow that energy to work with what you need to create or are you going to let the fear remain and suppress your efforts of ever moving forward? I am tired of being afraid and confined by fear and ruled by pain. I don’t believe in co-incidents. As all of this pain and fear came flooding out of me, my Love “Askia” helped me reason through the mounds of mess that I was. Ideas arose and new lights came into to view. Then a woman of God (The Greater Power” literally came into my home to discuss business with my Love. She had never been here before, but with her, she carried confirmation of the things we had discussed answered questions that I had just asked. Told me what to do and how to do it. Nothing was detailed; nothing was set in stone (fear issue). This is how you do it. You decide what it is you want to do and you do it. The more you do it the more people you will come into contact with that do what you want to do. Things will go where you focus. My love had just stated these things to me and our Creator immediately sent confirmation. I had met this Lady several times, knew who she was but never tried to get to know her. Because of the fierce love my Love has for me he, he opened a path of light, something that I could understand, and comprehend. I know he wants me to be whole and happy. I know I must move forward, release my fears, angers, insecurities, vanities and unwillingness to trust. Faith: I have a lot of growing to do. Having been a fear based person, unable to have faith or truly believe without some type of a visual bases is a difficult task. I believe through the continued treatment and understanding of the natural laws of the body, mind and soul, I will obtain this ability.

Treatment 3
Zone 5th the Muscular System
Mobility is returning in my hips, legs and neck. I am able to sleep all through the night with little tossing or turning. I do not have to get up two and three times through out the night to go to the bathroom. I am beginning to feel rested. My mind is no longer fuzzy and unable to concentrate. Things are clear and paths of advancement that were once blocked are beginning to open. Collaboration with peers on my products along with how to market are becoming clear. I am actually able to set deadlines and feel confident that they will happen. Prior to my treatments at the Zone Healing Center, there were spots on my back that were numb to the touch due to my spine being out of alignment for so long. Those spots now have a very soft burning feeling such as you feel with regeneration. I am ok with the burning because that means life is flowing through that area once again as apposed to numbness giving the feeling of death to that area. One more wonderful thing, I can cross my legs again (very little pain at all). Prior to treatment, I could not cross my legs at all. The pain became unbearable when just lifting my leg to the knee-cap of the other. Crossing them was impossible.
Homework: Worry and Hope. Thank God I have been able to keep worry from invading my entire realm of consciousness. I have a tendency to worry about things and people with whom I have experienced a devastating emotional and or physical encounter. When things do not fall into my way of thinking or my routine, I begin to worry. I become engrossed in, “how am I going to fix it”, my mind becomes clouded and confused, nothing comes together and my normal reaction is to freak-out. Hope. I gather hope comes along with faith. Without faith, hope is impossible. I’m counting on
being able to elaborate on this more further on in my recovery.

Treatment 4
Zone 5, the Muscular System
I seem to be healing quickly. I am feeling more rested, alert, conscious and excited. I have great (aspirations) of what my future holds. Ideas that have been running amuck in my head are now beginning to take form. This may be “T.M.I.” but here it goes anyway. I can once again straddle my partner. It may not mean much to anyone else, but to have back the ability to experience and explore intimacy is a gift, a gift I thought would eventually be eliminated from my life. (that’s just not right) The pain is almost gone completely; the tears that I shed now are from joy not pain. Confirmation: a movie is playing on my television and a song by Otis Redding “It’s been a long time coming”, a long time coming, but I know a change is gonna come.
Homework I: Jealousy and Duty; Jealousy has been a part of my life for several years. It reared its ugly head when I was asked to trust and believe in someone and they took my heart, soul and faith, threw them on the ground, stepped on them and then swept them under a rug. I was in complete and total kind of love the kind I had never experienced before. I was asked to forgive, because to them it was not personal. I still have a problem understanding that phrase. I agreed to forgive verbally, emotionally I was not. Still today I fight that feeling. I talk to myself, convincing myself that things are different. I’ll be ok. Still a big struggle. Duty: my sense of duty is very limited. At this point in my life I feel a duty to myself to grow, learn and shake the bondage of human life. If it causes me stress in any way it, they, whatever, must go.

Today I decided to work without a back brace. Wrong Idea, I knew I was healed and it made no sense to have to wear a brace. Well after about an hour I came to my senses mostly through pain and came to the conclusion that, it did not take three or four weeks to get messed up, why would it take three or four weeks to heal. I have been out of whack for over thirteen years. My Love told me “Love even football players wear there pads.” Guess what, back brace tomorrow. I am proud to announce that the sciatica was not one of my issues today. J
Homework II: Idea to Image: What do I want?

Treatment 5
Zone 5 the Muscular System
During this treatment Doctor Golman explained that people who have experienced the kind of trauma that I have tend to take 3 steps forward and sometimes 1 step back. That this step, is not out the normal spectrum of healing. I will never regress back to where I was and soon I will not need the back brace.
Homework: Fear and Faith, I went back and re-read the chapters. While reading fear I soon realized that there were parts that I didn’t see or chose not to file. Questions began to arise;
1. How can I put fear to rest permanently? When something accurse that sends fear through me, I want to know how to extinguish it immediately and stop it from ever resurfacing again. What process is required?
2. What does analyze your fears in the light of truth mean and how is that process performed?
3. What does “Slaves to the illusion of opposites, we will be imprisoned by our thoughts” mean?”

Treatment 6
Zone 5 the Muscular System
My body seems to be healing and correcting its self as my Zone Doctor said it would. I feel burning in muscles that were once numb to the touch. I haven’t experienced sublaxation of the spine since my second treatment. I can cross my legs, I can sleep the whole night through, I have very minimal to no stiffness when I wake up. I am no longer a slave to pain medication and hot baths. I can participate in exercise with out having to rest or sit out.
Homework: Create I Am’s from aspiration graph;

Treatment 7
Zone 5 the Muscular System
I seem to be healing quickly. Majority of the pain is gone. There is no constant pain like there was when I first started my treatments. I feel good most of the time. My mind is starting to clear. My memory still eludes me often. Oh well, I am a work in progress:
Homework: Selfishness & Generosity, I realize that I am more selfish than I thought, in ways I never new. These are things that I will work on. Generosity, I also realize that I am not as generous as I thought I was. Generosity should be given freely without expectation, without an ulterior motive. Work, work, work.
August 22, 2008; Today I have created my first batch of Lock Lover. I am pleased with the outcome. The smell, the consistency, everything.

Treatment 8
Zone 5, The Muscular System
I am truly excited about my progress. Everything is going as planned. As Dr. Golman says I am right where I should be, healing, progressing and moving forward.
Homework: Create as schedule as to when I will implement my aspirations.

Treatment 9
Zone 5 The Muscular System
My shoulders seem to get caught in rotation and my elbow joints ache. I expect this to heal with further treatment like everything else is healing. All is good. I am happy and rested, my mind is no longer fuzzy. I don’t feel drugged when I wake up in the mornings. I am having problems getting into my schedule. I must concentrate on working my self in a manner that always is in the best interest of my independence, health and wealth.
Homework: Conclusion, I must learn to work with the natural laws. I do understand that the natural laws do not bend or break. They are constant and I must be as well. I have a lot of work to do and a long way to grow. I know now that because I understand and am aware of the laws that it is my duty to myself to understand and go along with the laws.

Treatment 10
Zone 5 The Muscular System
This is may sound somewhat strange and I find it strangely odd that I have more control over my temper. I do not anger as easily as I once did. When I do find myself upset I am able to look at the situation, I am able to reason with myself, withdraw the emotion and make a conscious decision as to handle the issue without further damage. I am able to recover quickly. This is a good thing. In the past I would get upset and angry. I would brew on issues and act in manners that my children would have been punished for. I am aware that my surrounding and situations are all because of me and that if I don’t like them there then it is my duty to change it. No one else can or will make my life for me.
Homework: Criticism and Sympathy, Well once again I find myself understanding that I am what I thought I was not. I am critical of others and the things they do and the things they wear and they things they say. Sympathy, I did not realize that sympathy could be so harmful to ones self as well as those they feel the sympathy for. I had realized about a year ago that I was not only sympathetic but empathetic. I was filled with emotions and worries of others, unable to discern the difference between myself and them I thought I was going crazy. I did learn to let go of those things that do not concern me. I understand that I can have sympathy for others without harming them or myself. Wow a diamond in the rough, a work of art, I’m not exactly sure what the heck I am except to say I am me with great aspirations.

Treatment 11
Zone 5 The Muscular System
I am feeling and moving better than I have in years. I am getting better every day. I still have difficulty with memory retention and sticking to the schedule I have set for myself.
Homework: Envy and Non-Interference, I find that I am not an envious person by nature. I have never been a person who tries to keep up with the Jones’s nor materialistic. I am usually happy for those who succeed. I have never been one to try and hold people back from their success. Non-Interference, wow. I believe that we are brought up to interfere with people and their lives. Interference comes with many different faces, all destructive. This new me may take years to create and I am willing to go all the way.

Treatment 12
Zone 1, The Glandular System
All adjustments are much easier now. All of the zones are about the same now, all of which need additional treatments and time to heal properly. The Glandular System will assist me with memory retention. My appetite has changed, I am hungry quite often now. The elimination of waste is good. Now comes a time to make changes in my choices of food. I can no longer eat at the fast food restaurant. I have seen the documentary “Supersize It” wow, wow, wow. I am willing to learn to cook more meals with vegetables, less fat, less processed foods. I must go natural. I had a reassessment today, my treatments will now change to once a week. J

Shawna, Multiple Symptoms
Often times it is difficult to find words to describe the amazing Healing that had impacted my Life through Zone Adjustments and the Rays of the Dawn, at the Zone Healing Center. I came to the Zone Healing Center with several ailments and manifestations that would deeply impair my ability to perform my daily responsibilities. My migraines were so severe at times, my vision would blur and driving would become nearly impossible. Working with Zone 3, the Nerve Zone, I would see immediate improvement in vision and hearing; even in experiencing the manifestation of a migraine immediately prior to being adjusted. Mainly, I was concerned with severe ovarian pains that had been occurring for a couple of years prior to serving at the Zone Healing Center. I had been in and out of the hospital on what seemed to be a fairly regular basis in which the diagnosis ranged from Ovarian Cysts to IBS to Endometriosis to Colon and/or Digestive issues. Yet every time I entered the hospital, all they would provide was pain medication. Once the pain subsided, I was released. For over two years I experienced this severe manifestation where I was finding no relief to the cause of my ailment. The recommendation I received from the Doctors at the hospital was “Just try to keep yourself stress-free, we believe this is what is causing your problems.” This was not a solution to the cause. The 6 month period from January 2007 to June 2007, I was hospitalized 3 or 4 times with the same ailment. I started working with my Zone Doctor switching between the Nerve Zone and Muscular Zone. After just a couple of adjustments, my ovarian pain has almost completely subsided and cleared!! There are not enough words to thank Dr. Golman for all of the healing he has helped my body maintain.
