EFT technique-

[Trigeminal Neuralgia – perhaps the worst pain known to medical science - disappears after addressing core issues with EFT

Hi Everyone,

Those who doubt that unresolved negative emotions show up as physical symptoms should immerse themselves in this fascinating article by Christine Hines from the UK. Note how she uses EFT for routine pain management but, in the face of current intense emotions, her pain was so intense that she had to search for core issues. Once found, of course, the pain disappears. Stories like these appear frequently on our website. You are encouraged to print them out, create a book from them and give them to your physician(s).]

This website just launched a week ago. Has over 250 video clips and transcripts from 30 health care providers (including some top TN doctors and surgeons). It's not a forum, just good information on all the face pain treatments - medications, surgeries, alternative, etc.

Best viewed with Internet Explorer 5, 6, or 7 for now. Other browsers may have menus a little contorted, but the videos should still work. Here's the link -
