The Broken Link in the Pain Connection

by Manon Bolliger, facilitator & retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice | About Your Health, Addressing Your Pain

In my last post we looked at the brain science on pain. Among the facts we observed was that there were two distinct pathways associated with pain. I have a couple more thoughts to add on the brain science front before we turn to a consideration of what this means for...

How I Treat Pain

by Manon Bolliger, facilitator & retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice | Addressing Your Pain

In my last post I discussed the difficulties pain posed for effective assessment, given its subjective character, and how addressing pain first was the prime directive in my practice.   Perhaps the most effective way of addressing the multifactorial,...

Healing is a Journey Informed by Fear and Love

by Manon Bolliger, facilitator & retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice | About Your Health

Over the next several posts, I want to tell you the story of my personal journey and life-changing encounters with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). First, a disclaimer: I hope that I have made it clear that just as there is no such thing as the “right” life journey for...

A Long History of Recognizing the Mind-Body Connection

by Manon Bolliger, facilitator & retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice | About Your Health

The earliest physicians understood that health encompassed the mind, body and spirit. This insight can be traced back to the 2nd century. with Claudius Galen, an influential Roman physician, who noticed that any part of the body can affect any other part through...

Clear choices in health care: which will you choose?

by Manon Bolliger, facilitator & retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice | About Your Health, Addressing Your Pain

Recently, Dr. Daniel Amen has performed functional studies of tens of thousands of brains. Many “mood disorders” can actually be visualized as distortions and concavities in the actual brain and can be readily repaired with proper nutrition and “brain food.” When...

Antidepressants: More Harm than Good?

by Manon Bolliger, facilitator & retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice | About Your Health, Addressing Your Pain

Anti-depressants interfere with the brain’s natural self-regulation of serotonin and other neurotransmitters. The brain can over correct once medication is suspended, triggering new depression. All forms of antidepressants disturb the brain’s natural...

More Categories Means More Drugs, Not More Health

by Manon Bolliger, facilitator & retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice | About Your Health

Let’s follow up on our last post (https://www.bowencollege.com/psychiatrys-role-in-the-suppression-of-emotional-symptoms/) on the history of psychiatry. It is interesting to note that both the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-I) and DSM-II,...

Psychiatry’s Role in the Suppression of Emotional Symptoms

by Manon Bolliger, facilitator & retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice | About Your Health

The history of psychiatric medicine offers an illustrative example of just the kind of Cartesian-based misunderstandings about the mind-body connection that leads to ideas about emotional suppression which I discussed in my last post...

Insights from Gabor Maté on Emotions and Health

by Manon Bolliger, facilitator & retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice | About Your Health, Addressing Your Pain

In another post (https://www.bowencollege.com/there-is-no-such-thing-as-emotional-suppression/) I addressed the widespread myth of emotional suppression or repression and explained how this construct misunderstood and misrepresented the healing process and health...

There is No Such Thing as Emotional Suppression

by Manon Bolliger, facilitator & retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice | About Your Health, Addressing Your Pain

In my other post (https://www.bowencollege.com/emotional-release-and-good-health/) we explored the idea of suppression. The body is not equipped to suppress itself. Illness is either expressed through signs and symptoms or released through elimination or...

The Makings of a Compromised Terrain

by Manon Bolliger, facilitator & retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice | About Your Health

We left off in the last post asking the question, if the Germ Theory of Disease was wrong, and germs did not cause disease, but were rather a response to illness, then what exactly were these bacteria doing? To answer that question, we have to set it into the larger...

Pasteur Recants

by Manon Bolliger, facilitator & retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice | About Your Health

In the last post I recounted the story of Pasteur and Bechamp’s contributions to our understanding of the relationship between germs and disease. After initially promulgating the Germ Theory of Disease, even Pasteur, in response to Bechamp’s research and his own study...

A Case of Diagnostic Failure

by Manon Bolliger, facilitator & retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice | About Your Health, Addressing Your Pain

In my last post I addressed the concern of patients’ who had conditions neglected by health care providers as a result of the inability to attach a name to a condition, with the requisite drug therapy dictated. A while back I had a patient who came to see me with a...

The Misplaced Power of Naming

by Manon Bolliger, facilitator & retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice | About Your Health, Addressing Your Pain

Probably one of the most troubling presentations is the patient who is experiencing signs and symptoms of illness and is seeking a label to explain their discomfort, but is turned away by medical experts who give the patient a clean bill of health. The approach of...

Pain Hurts More than you Might Know

by Manon Bolliger, facilitator & retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice | About Your Health, Addressing Your Pain

In a previous post, I discussed one of the consequences of the war on symptoms: the over-reliance on cortisone shots, which create a false sense of security often leading to a “re-injury” of the original problem. Though really it’s more of an aggravation of the...

Is it really a “re-injury” if you haven’t dealt with the original injury?

by Manon Bolliger, facilitator & retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice | About Your Health

The recent few posts here told a personal story about how I discovered firsthand the importance of not treating an injury and its pain as mere symptoms, but allowing a deeper personal, subjective experience to emerge. This is the key lesson I have been trying to...

How releasing a memory allowed me to heal

by Manon Bolliger, facilitator & retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice | About Your Health, Addressing Your Pain

The last couple posts have been telling the story of my experience as a patient and how I learned firsthand that pain is more than just its symptoms. After getting a variety of conflicting advice, I finally made myself the doctor of my own treatment and came to...

Taking the Measure of Contradictory Advice

by Manon Bolliger, facilitator & retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice | Addressing Your Pain

In the last post I introduced you to a personal experience I had of subluxation of my right shoulder during a holiday in Paris. A trip to the hospital got me a sling and some drugs that either didn’t work or made me feel ill. What was to be done?   The pain grew...
