Re: NTI failure continued

And the NTI is not a "cure". It is a means of controlling the
crazy stress that is a part of some people's neural make up. It
won't 'fix' you, but it will keep you from hurting yourself.

But don't make things more complicated than they need to be.
Many of the 'experts' have learned things that are not really
true. Many have found there is money to be made by treating
patients like you, and they are happy to take as much of it
as you (and your insurance) will give them.

Most of my patients who need an NTI are 'wound a little tight'.
Understanding that and dealing with it helps as well. Be cool.
Dr. Boyd knows what he is doing and is not out to screw you
over (though I'm sure he charges 5X what I do...you do live
in CA, right? Hmmm...maybe that's the ticket...forget the million
dollar home, come to the midwest, plant a few tomato plants,
eat some sweet corn, live a whole lot cheaper, and just chill <g>).

If this all works out and Jim gets you feeling good, then you
owe me a 30 pack.
