Orlando, Fla. – July 19, 2010 – Dr. Roger Murray, MD, Orlando-based Board-Certified Phlebologist (Vein Surgeon) and a pioneer in the use of Ambulatory Phlebectomy and EVLT, recently announced that he will be utilizing a brand new ground-breaking neck lift procedure at his facility in Orlando, The Murray Center.

The new procedure, ImplicitGuide (iGuide) Surgical Suture System, is a new neck lifting operation that was invented and perfected over the last three years by Dr. Gregory Mueller in Beverly Hills, California. Dr. Roger Murray recently traveled to Beverly Hills to personally train with Dr. Mueller on this new procedure.

Dr. Murray said, “The iGuide is used to over sew the muscles of the neck restoring the neck to a more youthful jaw line. Unlike all other neck lifting procedures, this one leaves NO unsightly scars, it is performed under local anesthesia and the down time is minimal.”

“The full procedure involves small liposuction under the chin using local anesthesia, the trampoline suture system is then inserted using a patented fiber optic rod. It is these fiber optic rods that make this procedure unique and different from all the others,” continued Dr. Murray.

World Cup Soccer Championship seems to have captured our fascination. The Gulf oil spill, Afghanistan, the economy, Obama-Care and Iran are like chronic sores in our consciousness, but somehow we manage to come back to reality with our National Holidays, the smiles and antics of our children and grandchildren, a day of fishing, a round of golf or a great night out with our spouse. Yes, these are hard times, but when we pull together as a nation we are unstoppable.

Wishing you and your family a very Happy 4th of July! Travel safely and don’t forget the sunscreen!

What’s New?

Introducing the ImplicitGuide (iGuide) Surgical Suture System
The ground breaking new standard in technology for a younger looking you!

This May, I had the pleasure and privilege to train with the inventor himself, Dr. Gregory Mueller in Beverly Hills, California. Dr. Mueller spent almost three years perfecting this neck lifting operation. The iGuide is used to over sew the muscles of the neck restoring the neck to a more youthful jaw line. Unlike all other neck lifting procedures, this one leaves NO unsightly scars, it is performed under local anesthesia and the down time is minimal.

The full procedure involves small liposuction under the chin using local anesthesia, the trampoline suture system is then inserted using a patented fiber optic rod. It is these fiber optic rods that make this procedure unique and different from all the others.

Total Interconnectivity

While the following might not seem to have anything to do with medicine, I thought it was interesting. The interconnectivity that we feel today with iPhones, iPad and Wi-Fi is now going to occur on the battlefields of tomorrow (maybe as soon as next year). A company out of Chicago called Tanagram is putting a 360 degree camera into the helmets of our soldiers that communicates with a battle base somewhere in the U.S. The soldier is then able to “laser paint” a building, person or even room as being dangerous which is then sent immediately to all other soldiers in the vicinity. If a place has been shown by a previous soldier or encounter to be a dangerous place, the “virtual battlefields” computers will let the soldier know where those areas are and appropriate measures can be taken. And most of this technology will be available via the soldier’s iPhone by next year!! Dick Tracy you are already outdated!

Your Personal Genome

If you wanted to get your entire sequence of your Genome (all of the millions of genes that make up you) it would currently cost you about $20,000.00 to $48,000.00. The previous goal has been to get it to about $1000.00 Not Bad! Now a team from Harvard University has devised a way to make pico liter droplets of water; putting these on as many as 1000 computer chips will allow them to give you your entire genome for about $30.00. Production is still a year or two away but, the future possibilities are practically endless at these prices.

Pancreatic Cancer

Although we are uncertain why, we do know that pancreatic cancer is on the rise. The Koch Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts has devised a technology that implants an electrode carrying anti-cancerous medicine directly into the pancreas. A second electrode is then applied to the outside of the body and an electrical current is activated which drives the medicine directly into the tumor.

The reason pancreatic tumors have been so hard to cure is the blood supply that carries the anti-cancerous medicine to the pancreas is very limited. This technology will allow hundreds of times greater concentration of medicine to that area.

Solar Doomsday?

Scientists believe the Earth will be hit with unprecedented levels of magnetic energy from solar flares after the Sun wakes “from a deep slumber” sometime around 2013. NASA said the “super storm” would hit like a bolt of lightening and could cause catastrophic consequences for world’s health, emergency systems and national security. They believe it could damage everything from emergency service’s system, hospital equipment, banking systems, air traffic control systems as well as every day items such as home computers, iPods, and GPS navigation systems. Due to our heavy reliance on electronic devices, which are sensitive to magnetic energy, the storm could leave a multi-million dollar damage bill.

Dr. Richard Fisher, director of NASA’s Heliophysics division recently reported that every 22 years the sun’s magnetic energy cycle peaks while the number of sun spots and solar flares hits a maximum level every 11 years. Dr. Fisher, a NASA scientist for 20 years, said these two events would combine in 2013 to produce huge levels of radiation and could cause major problems for the world.

In parts of Europe where the electrical grid is fragile they could be without power and access to electronic devices for hours even days or weeks. The economic costs could be twenty times greater than Hurricane Katrina ($125 Billion).

Singularity is around the Corner

The genius and inventor Raymond Kurzweil has been telling us that singularity is just around the corner. This will be the point in time when computer machines will exceed the capacity and performance of the human brain. In other words, it will be the integration of man and machine into one. Recent articles have assessed the impact that the iPad will have on the approach of singularity and the consensus is that this one single device will accelerate the eventual time by 7 years. The Singularity University claims that when the time comes old age, disease, and even death will become a thing of the past. I mean we already have robotic Avatars that will allow our offspring to continue to interact with all of our past experiences after we are dead!

Google and IBM are currently working on a computer that will not only be as powerful as our brain but will be able to flawlessly retrieve and solve any problem that is in their data base. Their data base is absolutely massive. In other words, as soon as the computer can continually answer the question “what if” in an infinite manner, Singularity will have arrived.

If you are interested and are accepted, the Singularity University currently offers 9 day courses where you can interact and learn the newest scientific breakthroughs in fields such as nanotechnology, artificial intelligence robotics, genomics and energy. Of course there are detractors. I personally dismiss them all out of hand because history shows us that as long as technology improves length, ease and quality of life, it cannot be stopped.

Orlando, Fla. – March 17, 2010 – Dr. Roger Murray, MD, Orlando-based Board certified Phlebologist (Vein Surgeon) and a pioneer in the use of Ambulatory Phlebectomy and EVLT, recently posted to his website’s blog, (http://www.TheMurrayCenter.com/blog), a detailed explanation of his exclusive Lipocavitron and Ultrasonic-Lipodissolve procedures. The Murray Center, in Orlando, Florida, is the only facility in America that utilizes a Lipocavitron machine.

Lipocavitron is a 29 KHz ultrasound devise that puts sound waves very superficially through your skin. It is totally painless and has no adverse side effects whatsoever. There are thousands of these machines currently being used throughout Europe, but only one has made its way to the United States. Dr. Murray’s facility in Orlando has been using this procedure successfully for several years.

Dr. Murray has recently begun combining the Lipocavitron machine with his Lipodissolve procedure to produce some astounding results. French Physician, Dr. Thierry Marechal, was one of the first physicians to combine the two procedures.

“It appears that when he used his Lipocavitron machine alone he was getting an average loss of 5.5 cm (2 ¼ inches) and when he used the Lipodissolve alone he was having an average loss of 8 cm (3 inches), but when he combined the two treatments, his average loss was an astounding 13.5 cm (5 ¼ inches)! That is remarkable for a non-invasive procedure. I personally think that is very close to traditional Liposuction. We have already begun the using Lipocavitron in conjunction with Lipodissolve on our patients and the results are pretty amazing,” wrote Dr. Murray.

“We now have this technology we are offering this to our patients – if you want to lose 5 ¼ inches off of your abdomen this is probably the least expensive and non invasive tool ever,” continued Dr. Murray.

Dr. Murray’s blogs offer several short summaries of varying topics relevant to his practice. Recently, some of these topics include what’s new in medicine, cell phones and Alzheimer’s disease and Werners Disease, among others. Dr. Murray specializes in anti-aging, cosmetic surgery, vascular surgery, phlebology and family practice, among others.

By now we all know that sclerotherapy means the injection of a solution to eliminate spider veins. I would like to spend a little time with you and explain the beginnings and current therapies available.

In 1831 Dr. Prevaz, a Portuguese military Surgeon, invented the syringe as we know it today. Ten years later a Dutch Physician by the name of Dr. Rynd, invents the metallic needle. Within two years they were injecting 200 proof alcohol with disastrous results. There was massive inflammation and blood clots. The early users used arsenic and mercury, various sugars, iodine, iron mixtures and all sorts of toxic solutions that they thought would eliminate varicose veins. In the early 1920s a French Phlebologist, Dr Sicard, began using a solution of Salicylate (a form of aspirin). They not only hit upon a solution that was safe, albeit painful, but it also had an unexpected side effect – it made the pain of their arthritis dissipate. Mr. Bayer a German Chemist picked up on that and aspirin was born. In the 1930s and 1940s almost all of the solutions that we use today were invented. There has not been a new sclerosing solution in over 50 years.

So what is available today? Everybody would like lasers to take care of their spider veins, but the reason no laser today works successfully on spider veins is that spider veins are not always the main cause. The feeding ‘reticular’ veins, those larger and deeper blue veins, which are also called ‘feeder’ veins are the real cause and unless those are sclerosed (injected first) the spider veins will quickly return which is why today sclerotherapy is still the gold standard. Think of it like this, you have a sprinkler system; under the ground are the pipes that feed water to the sprinklers above ground. If one of the sprinklers stops working and you only fix the sprinkler without checking the underground pipes first, you might only be masking the root of the problem. Same with spider veins or varicose veins, if you have superficial veins that are less than esthetically pleasing, then it is best to check the “piping” before fixing the leak, otherwise you could be masking a much larger problem.

Lasers are however, the gold standard for facial veins. The veins above the heart are trying to collapse by gravity while the veins below the heart are trying to stay open. We never inject the facial veins because there are so many A-V malformations (arterial-venous malformation) in that area and should solution get into one of them, the patient is at a much higher risk of having a severe scarring ulcer on the face.

Now is the time to start having your veins treated so that by the time Spring comes, (and it feels like it never will this year) you’ll be ready. So in these times of Obamanomics we will offer a 10% discount through the month of March. Think of it as a tax incentive to stimulate the looks of your legs!

NEW DISCOVERIES ON CELL-TOUCHING

There are more cells in your body than there are stars in the universe, but how do they know where to go and what to do without some sort of direction. Up until now most have said that each cell responds to its surroundings by chemical messengers or by cytokines(cells that secrete a protein or messenger next to the cell it is influencing). Let’s face it they can’t see, hear, feel or smell . Or can they? The cytokine theory says that they can “smell” a chemical messenger but what about tissue that has no or little blood supply such as cartilage. How can a cytokine work in such an environment?

The latest findings are that cells “feel” their way to perform their specific functions. If one tries to grow bone stem cells on a soft matrix the ensuing bone is soft and weak, but when the matrix is stiffened the ensuing bone cells develop into strong bony tissue. If we take stem cells and expose them to flowing fluid they turn into blood vessels. When stem cells are exposed to rhythmic forces they turn into heart cells or cartilage cells, in other words if you mimic the environment to which a cells is ultimately destined to be you can influence the final specialty of that cells. In an experiment at the University of Pennsylvania they grew stem cells in a Petri dish and exposed the outer regions to stresses and the inner core to virtually no stress. The outer portions of the dish turned into bone cells while the inner sections turned into fat cells. So it appear that cell growth may well be influenced by cytokines but also and to a great extent by the “touch and pressure” of the environment within which the cells finds itself.

Tumors, lumps and bumps are usually found by feeling and represent stiffened tissue that we say needs biopsy or further investigation. Paul Janmey at the University of Pennsylvania found that cell division of breast cells stops when fully grown on a soft gel and they remained in a quiescent state but when made rigid by any method they started growing again increasing the risk of cancer. In a similar experiment of the U. of C San Francisco they took breast tissue cells and grew them in a soft media which made them less likely to form into malignant cells. This may explain why women with very dense fibrous breast tissue are more likely to develop breast cancer than those who do not have dense tissue and why there is a higher incidence of tumors arising from the scar tissue of breast implants.

Editors Note; All of this makes perfect sense. Back in the 1980’s we found that if women took 1000 IU’s of Natural Vitamin E for 6 months there was a drastic reduction in the mammographic appearance of their fibro-cystic disease. Their incidence of breast discomfort and cancer were both reduced. In some studies they used synthetic Vitamin E and had minimal results, but since Natural Vitamin E is 7 times more potent than its synthetic counter part those studies showed dramatic decreases in breast cancer. In countries such as Japan where the majority of their protein is either from soy or fish and where both fibrocystic disease and breast cancer are at their lowest one should also consider the effects of our diets on disease.

ULTRASOUND TO CURE STROKES

The University of San Diego is using an ultrasonic devise that generates signals from 1000 ultrasound transducers focusing on a blood clot in the brain to break it up. Currently the only two ways to dissolve blood clots are to inject a solution of TPA within three hours of the stroke or surgically attempt to remove it. With this non invasive devise ultrasound is generated through the skull and focused on the clot, and with sound waves breaks it up. It’s still experimental, but looks like it will save a lot of lives and recuperation. Currently, strokes are the largest cause of long term disabilities in the U.S. and the number one and two causes are hypertension (high blood pressure) and high cholesterol.

Lipocavitron and Ultrasonic-Lipodissolve

As many of you know we have been developing the Lipodissolve for quite some time. We have reduced the pain to almost nothing and the recovery with the cold laser has reduced the amount of swelling time to less than a week. While recently reviewing the literature I came across an article written by a French Physician, Dr. Thierry Marechal, who was using his Lipocavitron machine with Lipodissolve. The more I read the more I became upset with myself for not having thought of this sooner.

It appears that when he used his Lipocavitron machine alone he was getting an average loss of 5.5 cm (2 ¼ inches) and when he used the Lipodissolve alone he was having an average loss of 8 cm (3 inches), but when he combined the two treatments, his average loss was an astounding 13.5 cm (5 ¼ inches)! That is remarkable for a non invasive procedure. I personally think that is very close to traditional Liposuction. We have already begun the using Lipocavitron in conjunction with Lipodisolve on our patients and the results are pretty amazing.

What is Lipocavitron? It is a 29 KHz ultrasound devise that puts sound waves very superficially through your skin. It is totally painless and has no adverse side effects whatsoever. I have the only Lipocavitron in the U.S. The FDA explained it to me this way; one machine is allowed into the U.S., but two is “distribution”. The Swiss company that makes it will have to go through all of the FDA approval process in order to sell a second machine. Most small European companies cannot afford that lengthy and expensive process. There are literally thousands of these machines in work all over Europe for the last 25 years, but not until recently did anyone think to combine the two technologies.

So since we now have this technology we are offering this to our patients – if you want to lose 5 ¼ inches off of your abdomen this is probably the least expensive and non invasive tool ever.

And here is a BONUS/contest …I like the name “Ultrasonic Lipodissolve”, however it’s not that catchy. Therefore, I challenge all of you to try to come up with a better name for the treatment. Should I select your creative idea, I will give you one full session – free of charge.

Orlando, Fla. – February 25, 2010 – Dr. Roger Murray, MD, Orlando-based anti-aging specialist and aesthetic surgeon, recently posted to his website’s blog, (http://www.TheMurrayCenter.com/blog), an explanation of aesthetics and how he, as an artist and sculptor, approaches aesthetic surgery. From a medical point of view, Dr. Murray explains, the face is “your computer and home to most all of your senses,” but from an artistic point of view, it is about “emotions and sensations.”

Dr. Murray wrote, “As a sculptor I am mostly concerned with texture, size, shape, proportions and volume. And I am also starting with a square block of marble, whereas in the human face we already have a set of defined proportions and interactions. So I look at the face and think, restore, enhance and rejuvenate.”

“My job as an aesthetic surgeon is try and make you look as close to your best, which is usually about 10-15 years younger and enhance what I can and leave alone that which defines you,” continued Dr. Murray.

Dr. Murray’s blogs offer several short summaries of varying topics relevant to his practice. Recently, some of these topics include what’s new in medicine, cell phones and Alzheimer’s disease and Werners Disease, among others. Dr. Murray specializes in anti-aging, cosmetic surgery, vascular surgery, phlebology and family practice, among others.

2. Foreword to Energy Medicine

I recently sent out my announcement that I was resuming doing Family Practice. In that email I mentioned that I believe that the future of medicine is Total or Whole Integrative Medicine. That means that we look at you as a whole, the sum of all of your parts, for example if you have a Blood Pressure problem then you might also have a kidney problem, a weight problem, a nutritional problem, a psychological issue, an ophthalmic disorder, a mineral problem and maybe even a heart problem. Our aim is to treat the “whole” you.

With that preamble I would like to introduce to you a person who I met several years ago and she has become a friend and healer to me and my family. Her name is Dr. Bina Shah. She is a retired OBGYN doctor who now just does “energy medicine”. She is a Grand Master in Reiki and performs many other well known forms of energy medicine. Attached is her Curriculum Vitae and synopsis of her personal life along with some very telling testimonials? I would strongly recommend that you read her synopsis of what she does and who she is.

Dr Shah will be working out of our office as an independent Physician and you may call our regular office number (407-206-1500) to make an appointment. I can personally give you a testimonial that she possesses incredible healing powers without the use of drugs or any other herbal medicines. After the recent tragic death of my son Jason sleeplessness was the norm and the incessant crying was totally disabling. Dr Shah came over to my house and administered Reiki to me on many occasions. Without the use of drugs (which I personally hate) I got my first four hours of sleep, was able to begin functioning by at first just taking a shower then actually interacting with people and finally eating food. I am not sure I can quantify what she did for me but each time she came over I felt a little better and was able to begin to interact with society again. But the best part was I that I went through the painful steps necessary for a recovery with an intact brain and I believe in the fastest way possible.

What is Reiki?

Reiki, a form of Holistic Healing, is a healing approach to transfer Universal Life Force Energy to heal and harmonize the body, mind and spirit.
Reiki is a Usui system of Energy Medicine developed by Dr. Mikao Usui of Japan. Dr. Usui, The Grand Master and Founder, was enlightened by Reiki divine light in the 18th century.

Reiki can be summarized as: Rei-Ki. Rei means spirit/soul and Ki means Universal Life Force Energy. This subtle energy pervades through all levels of the physical, emotional mental and spiritual bodies. Everything and everybody in the universe is made of matter, which is simply frozen light energy with consciousness.

Thus, anything and all living beings can be energized and healed with Reiki Energy. Reiki knows no caste, creed, doctrine, or religion. It simply happens by Reiki’s Grace, Love and Light.

A Reiki Healer becomes channel of Universal Energy after an attunement by a Reiki Master. Energy starts to flow from healer’s hand to the receiver’s body. We all have inner healing powers to heal ourselves but a Reiki Healer is able to transfer large amounts of pure, concentrated Universal Life Force Energy to the receiver and thus enhance and speed up the healing process.

Reiki helps to:
• Reduce stress
• Relieve pain
• Promote restfulness and improved sleep
• Relieve anxiety and depression
• Accelerate wound healing
• Ameliorate pre-operative anxiety
• Decrease post-surgical pain
• Increase immune function
• Improve circulation
• Increase a sense of well-being

Reiki Compliments Medical Treatment:
Reiki is simple, gentle, non-invasive and safe can be self-administered and used as tool for relaxation at any time works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques beneficial during any illness.

4. How is Reiki Provided?

The person receiving Reiki is fully clothed and may be relaxing on a table, or sitting comfortably in a chair. Reiki can be received in any state of health. With stillness and concentration, the healer connects with her Life Force Energy, which then flows through her hands to the recipient. The recipient will receive the amount of energy he/she needs to bring his/her body and mind into balance. Sessions vary in duration, most are 45 minutes long.

Can Reiki be given without touching human body?

Yes, it can be given at “Ethric Double Auric Body Level” and is extremely powerful, without the healer even touching the recipient.

Can Reiki be sent to a distant person?

Yes, since it is vibrational frequency that passes from healer with intention to the receiver. It can be sent to any person, places, situation, emotion, pets, plants, planets, or even to non-living things that are not in physical proximity.

Is Reiki healer drained of her/his own energy after treatment?

No, healer is only a “channel”. What he receives from divine light as universal life force energy, he gives to the recipient. But, the healer is more energized and experiences all wonders and miracles of these sacred energies.

What Does Reiki Feel like?

The most common response to a Reiki session is deep relaxation. Quite often the experience is so relaxing that recipients may even fall asleep. Some report a profound sense of calm and peacefulness during and after the session. Many others report a sense of openness with others, which is not surprising as the sharing of Life Force Energy is the true experience of Reiki.

Testimonials

After each session with Dr. Bina Shah, I do not only feel the difference in pain, mood, and anxiety, but my spirit is also uplifted. I laugh more frequently and forget about the threats of my cancer diagnosis.
MM, age 72, Orlando, FL

For the first time in over 5 years, I went to my doctor’s office without my cane. My doctor was surprised how well I was walking! Infact, after my session with Dr. Shah, I received so much energy that I felt as if I ran out of the building, not walked!
JC, age 59, arthritis patient

During my first Reiki session, I was having physical pain, particularly in my right hip. I could actually feel tingling in the area where Dr. Shah applied Reiki. This was a pretty good indication that something was happening! The next two sessions, going in, I had been distraught about a friends terminal diagnosis; but I left Dr. Shah’s office feeling much more peaceful and with a relaxed attitude.
JB, singer, Orlando, FL

As a television producer, I have had the good fortune of meeting a diversified group of healers over the years. However, nothing could compare to the quiet power of Dr. Bina Shah. The energy transfer begins the moment she shakes your hand and does not even until long after she leaves the room. Don’t be fooled by her small stature, her endurance and stamina have GOT to be too huge with the work she does! I would recommend her to anyone who needs to rid themselves of toxins within. Thank you Bina!
AA, TV Producer, Orlando, FL

After just a few treatments, my quality of life has improved tremendously. My right foot, which used to swell all the time, is almost back to normal now. The tearing from my eyes has almost completely gone away.
PD, age 68, Orlando, FL

Since I started receiving Reiki Energy, some of my previously destroyed relationships have been restored. I am able to handle my financial problems better. I am planning for the near future more than I have ever done. During the last 2 sessions, I see and feel the color white, which to me represents purity, healing and my dream of getting married in a white dress some day.

My doctor and I noticed small, red bumps forming on my left chest near my surgery site that had been growing for several weeks. My doctor wanted to do a biopsy; Dr. Shah used Reiki to stimulate my body to rid itself of these bumps. Several days after this session, they appeared to be dying out. A subsequent PET scan showed no unusual activity in this area.
HC, age 57

I was bleeding from uterus off & on with clots, pain, backache, and depression with fatigue for 8 months. Sonogram was normal. My doctor advised surgery but I refused. Dr. Bina Shah gave 3 reiki energy sessions. I felt much better, but bleeding did not stop completely. Then Dr. Shah did “psychic surgery” on me and since that day, I have not had any more bleeding problems. Thank you Dr. Binaben.
BC, age 51

I was breathless and sneezing during Christmas. When I retrieved my voicemail, I heard Dr. Bina’s voice saying “Merry Christmas to you with light, love, and reiki greetings”. Believe me, the moment I put my phone down, all my breathlessness was gone and I felt relaxed and energetic. Thank you Bina,
DT age 43

I had a breast cancer diagnosis in fall of 2006, and Reiki was key in changing my attitude and outlook, both emotionally and physically. Side effects of courses of treatment this past year included hand/foot syndrome, high blood pressure, peripheral neuropathy, pain, fatigue, vomiting, IBS, breast cancer cells developing in the skin on my chest, and the inability to walk for a couple of days (unexplained); I also suffered from what many patients call “chemo brain”, which affected my memory and ability to concentrate and formulate thoughts, so much that, combined with my physical symptoms, I became disabled and unable to work. It was most fortunate that I was offered the opportunity to meet with Dr Bina Shah in November 2007 and was introduced to Reiki. I have since become third-degree certified, and have learned many techniques to keep my energetic body strong and cooperative to the strong chemotherapies I receive, as well as methods to deal with the many side-effects of these drugs, examples of which include:
• Migraine headaches: during the third round of chemotherapy I experienced intense pains; rather than using drugs to alleviate the pain, I used Reiki techniques, and have eliminated this symptom.
• Hand/foot syndrome: the soles of my feet were turning black, and walking was becoming painful. Dr Bina and I used Reiki methods on these areas, and stopped the progression of the discoloration, and eliminated the pain. My feet have since returned to normal color.
• Fatigue: I spend nearly three hours each day doing Reiki and Energy Medicine. On the days I skip or abbreviate, I notice that my energy level is not as high as days that I complete the full regimen. I have not been sick with colds or flu since beginning Reiki.
• Physical symptoms: my doctor and I noticed small red bumps forming on my left chest near my surgery site that had been growing for several weeks. My doctor wanted to do a biopsy. Dr Bina and I used Reiki methods to stimulate my body to rid itself of these bumps; several days after doing this they appear to be ‘dying out’ and sloughing off of my skin. A subsequent PET scan showed no unusual activity in this area.
• Pleural Effusion: on three separate occasions I have had over a liter of cancerous fluid drained from my left pleura; the first incident was accompanied with severe, debilitating pain. The second incident I was asymptomatic, which I attributed to Reiki methods I used to energize my body and eliminate pain. In fact, I was back home, riding my bicycle only three hours after the second thoracentesis.

• Abdomen pain: I would have unexplained sharp pains in my abdomen, so severe that it hurt to move. By using Reiki techniques I was able to ‘chase’ the pain out of my body.
• Lymphatic system: A result of my surgery was increased risk of lymph edema. My left arm swelled and became painful; I tried physical therapy and lymphatic massage with only limited

• Success. Only after supplementing these therapies with Reiki was I able to substantially reduce the swelling and am now able to maintain my status, pain-free.
• Several days after going through third-degree training, I suddenly was not able to walk or stand due to deliberating pain in the Liver and Kidney accu-pressure points of my knees. My oncologist advised me that this problem was outside the scope of oncology and was not a symptom of my treatment or cancer. I believed that toxins were exiting my body through these points; however, modern medicine would not allow for this explanation. After a trip to the emergency room revealed no cause for my excruciating pain and inability to walk, I was told to go home and take pain medication. I was wheelchair-bound for two days. Dr. Bina was contacted on the second day and she performed distance Reiki along with me performing Reiki on myself. By the next morning I was able to walk again, slowly. After a couple more days I resumed my normal activities pain-free.

I am absolutely certain that had I not learned of, nor applied, these techniques and methods to assist in my cancer treatment, my prognosis would be short and dismal. I am thankful every day for Reiki and for Dr. Bina Shah.
JC, age 41

I stay in a highly secured subdivision with full safety. Some days ago, we heard our door bell ringing two-three times in the middle of the night. My husband and I opened the door, but no one was outside. This went on happening for a few days more, and I was so frightened that I couldn’t leave the house even in the day time. I could not sleep, I got nightmares, and my health was affected. We tried all means we could to remove my fear and this evil spirit. A friend suggested Dr. Bina Shah, who gave me Reiki energy psychology sessions. After my second session, I felt no fear, could move everywhere. After my third session I had so much courage that in the middle of the night I would go out alone and had a walk on the road too. Thank You Dr. Bina Ben.

I had Lymphoma of skin with hyper sensitive skin, redness, and patches on the skin, sometimes itching with cracking of nails. I received treatment of Dr. Bina Shah once a week, which was very effective in regards to redness, sensitivity, and also mood anxiety and energy level. Dr. Bina Shah is highly proficient with the application of Reiki medicine. I highly recommend anyone in need of the benefits of energy medicine. Patches on my skin are almost gone. Thank You Dr. Bina Shah.
EP Age 69

I had swelling, pain and redness, and fungal infection on both feet, stiffness of ankles, I could not walk and my life was miserable. I was treated with medicines and creams for a long time without much effect. Dr. Shah treated me with Reiki energy and energy psychology and all symptoms were gone within three sessions, it is completely gone. Today my feet are normal, I feel energetic, relaxed, and peaceful, and healthy. Thank You Dr. Bina Shah
PD Age 59

I had a left hip replacement done twelve years ago. The Dr. advised that we repeat the hip replacement surgery because of pain in the left hip joint. I was worried as I had to suffer a lot after my last surgery. I took two sessions with Dr. Bina Shah and my fear was completely gone, I felt relaxed and energetic. The second hip replacement surgery was a miracle. The surgery was easy and I had no pain. As I was anemic, the doctors told me that I would require blood transfusions but I did not require a single transfusion. I never used any pain medicine and even the nurse asked me why I was not taking any pain medicine and I answered that I already taken energy medicine. I felt energetic, relaxed, I am in a good mood; I am amazed at the amazing Reiki treatment. I strongly recommend Dr. Shah. I have referred many of my family members and friends to Dr. Shah for Reiki sessions. Thank You Dr. Bina Shah
PL Age 54

My left arm was amputated and I felt like a part of the upper arm was hanging from the shoulder joint. After the amputation, I started feeling that the left amputated arm was lying on my chest with pain and itching, constant weight of the left arm continuously on my chest was becoming too hard to suffer. My doctor said it was phantom limb effect, but no one could cure me. I felt miserable and crazy. I was recommended Dr. Shah’s name. She gave me Reiki energy medicine and within the first half hour of treatment, I started feeling that my left amputated arm was moving down and it came to the left side of my abdomen. My left hand was on my left thigh but then it stopped there. Dr. Bina Shah tried different methods and different types of breathing. It was difficult for her too because I could see from her face. She tried again and then suddenly, my left arm was pushed down by my left side with a thud. Suddenly I felt that my left arm was on my left side as it was before amputation. I was extremely relieved and happy. Dr. Shah asked me to move my left hand and left arm as I was doing before amputation. I could feel that I could move without pain and itching. Seeing a big smile on my face, Dr. Shah asked me how I feel. I said great and wonderful but there is numbness at the sight of the stitches. She worked for a few more minutes and that too was gone and I felt normal. This was a great miracle making my life happy. When I thanked her she said “it was his grace”. I thank God and Dr. Shah.
JK Age 57

I was in the last stage of cancer with chronic depression, fatigue, worry and fear of death. I had hallucinations with aches and pains all over. I was anemic, no energy, no friends, and felt only misery and loneliness. Dr. Shah gave me Reiki sessions, she went on counseling, healing and changed my attitude towards life. She removed all fear and helplessness and fear of impending death by energy psychology and Reiki sessions. Suddenly I started feeling new strengths and changes in my life. I felt alive, got new friends, and new confidence. She changed me completely and I became a new person. Today I can face anything. Reiki energy is wonderful, and Dr. Shah’s ways of changing me also gentle, kind and loving. Thanks a lot.
