 Prolotherapy gave me my life back, February 26, 2008 |
|
For anyone - anyone - having joint pain, please do not think it's too late to get help. Prolotherapy has the ability to regenerate your joints - period. I was on the brink of having both knees replaced, and was fortunate enough to find out about Prolotherapy. I can now go up and down stairs without pain, get in and out of chairs without pain, and am walking 45 minutes a day without pain. However, if you're interested in trying it, be sure you find a REAL prolotherapy doctor. If your doctor is also administering cortizone shots, or Rooster comb shots - be wary of his expertise as a Prolotherapist. Prolotherapy takes years of practice to perfect, and the treatments are completely different than the cortizone or Rooster comb.
Prolotherapy is the only form of treatment that actually repairs joint, ligament, and cartilage damage. Cortizone and Rooster comb really do nothing more than temporarily cover up the symptoms. Whether you have had surgery or not, do yourself a huge favor and look into Prolotherapy, which, for me, has been a permanent solution to my pain.

 "Prolo" --a scientific hoax, January 14, 2008 |
|
I read this book on the recommendation of a physician. I began reading the book with great hope, given the claims made by the authors. The first author is a physician who developed this treatment. I am a health care professional and a scientist whose work has included studying pain and its treatment. As I read the book, I came to understand why I had never heard of the approach among pain researchers or specialists treating fibromyalgia and why the medical establishment has rejected this approach. (The author himself describes this rejection.)
The authors make claims that prolotherapy will cure many, if not most, painful maladies--based on only their subjective experience. Their theory of pain is limited and not advocated by any mainstream pain theorists or researchers. Perhaps more importantly, Hausers' claims are not based in credible research, i.e., randomized clinical trials--or anything that approaches this standard. The findings are based on non-standardized means of assessing pain, clinical experiences with no attempt to reduce the possibility of other factors affecting patients' pain, pain reports "collected" informally by the people who want this therapy to work, no comparison to other treatments or other physician groups using this method, and no formal methods of analyzing the pain reports.
The real clincher for me occurred when they started to introject very conservative Christianity (I am a Christian). Their description of their own clinic includes how Dr. Hauser and his staff include what appears to be proselytizing Christianity in their treatment. In the Hausers' final analysis, they state that if prolotherapy treatments do not relieve pain, the fault lies either with improper administration of the treatment or the lack of Christian faith in the patient (The authors state something to the effect that the patients with continuing pain have not allowed God to be the center of their lives). They do not entertain the possibility that the therapy or its underlying theory may be at fault or even limited to some degree. This is not the mindset of medical scientists who would allow the data to guide toward a greater or different understanding of the problem of pain. Instead, they blame the professional who is supposedly not accurately using their methods--and/or the patient. People with pain do not need to experience further episodes of "blaming the victim." Furthermore, the authors do not address: (1) how their beliefs affect their work with persons of another or no faith or the likelihood that non-Christians are not among their patient groups; and (2) whether patients may decrease their reported pain levels in order not to appear lacking in faith. (Remember their stated belief that if prolotherapy is not effective, it may be a result of the patient's lack of faith.) Lack of adequate scientific methods, possible pressure to underreport pain, and likely only Christian patients add to the many reasons to doubt seriously the Hausers' therapeutic claims.
I have thrown this book away; I would not even donate it because I do not want a pain patient (or even an M.D.) with little scientific background to believe that this treatment is a credible approach to pain. It is a shame that Dr. Hauser has several books in the popular press advocating this expensive therapy with so little supportive data.

Factual book by good author. I have had prolo 3 times and it has helped my lower back pain. It is gradual over 1-2 months but is real healing not just covering the pain.

this is a book that was extremely informative about an alternative procedure tohelp me with my arthritis. I purchased this book for my primary doctor to inform her of this procedure since this is not an acknowledged medical procedure.

This is an exceptional book which clearly and concisely explains prolotherapy, it's history, all connected studies, cure rates and physical illnesses which are treatable using this very conservative method. It was a very easy read and furnished us with all the information we needed to have complete confidence in the treatment.
A caution. It seems the book furnished us with far more knowledge than one of the neurosurgeons had (which we consulted) who administers prolotherapy. After a (too) brief examination, he said I was definitely not a candidate, yet I had the treatment administered by another Dr., in this case a naturopath, with exceptional results! I am a new person, after serious herniated (ruptured) discs, which the surgeons said could only be treated (not cured) by surgery!
Read the book, and TRUST its contents, not the doctors who say your condition cannot be helped, when the book says it can!! It's sooo worth the effort to try. A note: My condition had stemmed from an injury eleven years ago, and the condition had been acute for eleven months when I began my first of four prolotherapy treatments, each seven to ten days apart. Do not believe it's too late, no matter who tells you that. Feel free to use my testimony as an example.
The book (and the cost of the prolotherapy, which is minimal) is the best money you will ever spend. When you read it and think of others with chronic problems described in the book, buy them the book as a gift, or lend yours! Get the word out any way you can, as the drug companies certainly won't; there's no money to be made in this treatment (which is a cure), given there's no drugs.
