Greetings, Friends - John Thornton here.

I suffered from multiple chronic pain conditions starting at about the age of 40. Medical doctors told me there was no cure, but they would be there to treat symptoms and manage my pain for the rest of my life. I believed everything they were telling me because I could tell that they believed it. They were just doing what they had been taught to do. 

But through it all, even after years and years of chronic pain, I always had this feeling. I always believed that somehow…someway…there had to be a way out. A permanent way out.  

-    I didn’t want to be in pain for the rest of my life. 

-    I didn’t want to be on prescription drugs with all the side effects.  

-    I didn’t want doctors telling me what I could and couldn’t do. 

-    I didn’t want my insurance company...
