Hi everyone: My name is Debbie H and I live in Lancaster, ON, CA. I have been using QT for 1yr now with amazing results. A fall at work caused my tailbone to twist to the left, jarred my sacrum and eventually twisted my spine and damaging the basil ganglia (brain core) leaving me (for the most part) housebound for the best part of 4 1/2 years. I have been working very hard to get back on my feet and this spring for about 3 weeks I was walking 8 km/day with next to no pain, contorting or spasms. For the past few weeks every time I have a QT session it brings on a dystonia attack.
Dystonia is a misfiring of the brain (neurological disorder) which causes muscles to contract involuntarily and the entire body to contort into positions that normally I can't do. I loose my legs and have no control over any movement, the pain is unbearable. I have had 3 of these attacks in the last week, 2 from QT.
Stress makes dystonia worse, I had my share of it this spring, it is over now, I should be getting better not worse.
Can anyone explain why this is happening? I want nothing more than to be healthy again...

Hi Deejay, I am working with a client who has dystonia in her left leg - among many other problems. QT quiets the leg and relieves the pain.

I am not seasoned, but I am beginning to think that when bodies have multiple problems, they prioritize them and the person only experiences the top priorities so that they can continue to function at some level. Then as you take care of the top priority, the next one comes to the top (ie hurts like hell even though you didn't notice it before). And so on.

Maybe your body had some neurological damage that it thinks you're ready to heal and it is presenting as dystonia. If so, QT may be able to assist at this time.

Hi Maribeth: thanks for the response, very interesting. Nerve damage is possible since I don't have a lot of feeling in my body. I can't feel mosquito bites, cuts or burns just see the after-effect.
Molinda I can feel the energy flow. Thank you

Deejay, are you doing the QT on yourself or is someone else working on you? Basic, supercharging or core? Where is the energy applied?

Hi Mark: I see a practitioner once a week and he works on me, hubby sometimes too. Not sure which of the 3 he is using. The energy is applied on my head, 1 hand on forehead and other on the back of the head at the bottom of the scull, top of the neck. Top left of the hip (sacrum) and that's where the attacks stem from, which is also where most of the damage from the fall occurred. 1 hand in the front and the other right over the sacrum to the left.
It has always helped in the past to calm it down.

Hi Deejay thanks for the feedback, hope you start to feel better very soon

Love Mo x x

It would be unusual for a practitioner to limit any session to Basic OR Supercharging OR Core work...it's a continuum. You don't choose one level at the beginning of the session and stick to just one level of the work, you go where the client and your feedback, the sensations in your hands, and your intuition tell you. It's always a mix. And there may be things other than QT in the mix as well.

It would surprise me greatly if QT was causing this problem. One way to test it would be to stop QT totally. Just stop. Stop for a period of time, say a month. Do NO energy work and see if the problem persists. It's the same process as eliminating a food from your diet, if you are testing for an allergy or sensitivity to that food.....it's called an elimination process. Eliminate dairy for a time, or wheat, or soy. You can do the same with energy work. Keep accurate notes, daily, of how you feel, what hurts, when it hurts, what you were doing before it started to hurt, & what you ate before an attack.

You may find some other trigger. It may very well turn out to be an allergen like a food, or a household product, or something airborne, or a pollutant like herbicides. There is allergy work in the Core 2 course, if your practitioner has taken that......ask. I personally would not limit the places I would work on a client to only those areas that hurt or cause a problem. Amazing things happen when you work on say, the feet. Who knew? They had no complaint about their feet, but it releases something someplace else, many times, and dramatically. I would do the entire spine, and the chakras, & balance occiput & hips.

What I am saying is that there are more plausible places to look to as the source of the problem, or the trigger, for the attacks. Statistically, I believe energy work would be low on the list. NERVE DAMAGE FROM THE FALL WOULD BE HIGH ON THE LIST. The simplest, most likely explanation is usually the correct one. Look up Occam's Razor.

Your body will never use an offering of a higher vibration (love) for harm. I hope this helps to give a different perspective, & to allow you to consider other causes with a much higher probability.

Love to you.

Dear Alice: There seems to be some misunderstanding about my request. I am looking for possible reasons as to why a QT session would set the dystonia off. I am in no way, shape or form blaming QT for causing this.... My spine is almost straight now with the QT, a miracle if you ask me.

None of us know just how much damage has been done that no-one can see. My kids and hubby would say that my spine looked like a dinosaur, that's how crooked it was and the vertebra from the top right down to the tailbone stuck out everywhere including the sacrum which stuck right out through the skin. The sciatic in my lower back gives me a great deal of pain everyday, it's not a matter of doing something to set the pain off, it is always there. It's a matter of what can I do before the pain gets so bad that I have to go to bed. Sitting, standing, walking it's all the same.

As Maribeth said it could very well be nerve damage, these are the types of answers I'm looking for. If I sound frustrated, it's with the dystonia not the treatment.

I have been doing this for a year now and we have used many ways with the QT, too many to start naming them all and no, it just isn't where the pain is located. He is a very creditable practitioner.

I'm not a practitioner, just someone who wants to get her life back, and with everything I have tried this is the only thing that has made such a significant difference in my health. For 3 weeks this year I was who I used to be and not in horrific pain every day and bedridden. I thank QT for giving that back to me. My family couldn't believe it, the change in me and even for myself I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I know for a fact that QT works. If I did it once I can do it again. Just to get over this hurdle.

I just turned 44, life should be beginning for me not ending, and I'm stuck in this body that I can't stand, that's why I'm asking the question. The more brainstorming and answers that I can find then the closer I become to being me again. I wish to gain incite on the healing so I can rid myself of this affliction. I have dreams like everyone else and right now I can't live them!

So as far as gaining a new perspective, sorry I'm not going to change my mind on something that I know works. I am living proof! I will beat this disease.

Alice, I hope this give you a better idea of what I am looking for.
All ideas are welcome. Thank you
Debbie...

Hi Molinda: I'm feeling better thank you. I started walking without a walker or cane today. On the way up and won't come down. Baby steps.
Thank you,
Deb.

My point is that you don't know with certainty if QT has set it off....just because it has followed a session doesn't necessary establish a cause & effect relationship. The dystonia did not follow every session of QT, only a few. If you eat a hamburger and then get hit by a car, it doesn't necessarily follow that eating the burger caused the car to hit you.

One way to test whether QT has "set it off" is to stop the QT temporarily as a test, certainly not meant as advice to stop QT entirely. If it is not QT that sets it off, then you would know that fairly quickly, and could look elsewhere for a cause, while happily resuming the QT...and yes, it surely does work!

If this was happening to me, I'd try to sleuth it out, to see if it really is QT that's causing it, or not, or if some other cause could be identified. And that was your question...asking what we think about QT being the cause, or the trigger, so I was trying to answer the question, from a point of view strong in medicine and also in healing. You can't assume that anything is the cause of anything else, without testing it out. That's basic science.

I wish you all success, joy, happiness, and glowing health, & was trying to suggest ways to test what is causing or not causing the dystonia, that's all. Assuming that it is QT may be an erroneous assumption, & allowing for other possibilities may be fruitful.

I said that I thought nerve damage is a more likely cause of the dystonia than QT. I have never heard of QT having such an effect, ever. I fully understand that the dystonia is the problem, and that the question you asked was if anyone knows why this is happening to you...I was offering some possible explanations, all of which would need testing out to see if any are valid.

I have no doubt that you WILL beat it!

Much love to you.
