There are seminars given around the country to learn to be a practitioner and treat others. I have taken 1 1/2 of these. When I had my first treatment from a provider, a very tight and uncomfortable spot in my left arm (affected with lymphedema, an effect of breast cancer surgery)was completely dissolved. Some months later the hammer toes I was born with, on my right foot, straightened out. an American Link A Brazilian link Find practitioners and more a link A link LINK: to a German site A link LINK to site w/video and research Remember we are NOT Doctors and have NO medical training.
