Without Dr. Rhodes, these people would be dead today.

Most of the people who have come through Dr. Rhodes' doors have incredible stories. Many of them have been through the worst type of agony, all kinds of failed therapies, and have deteriorated, not improved before they find Dr. Rhodes. Let me tell you about one such person.

I met Colleen, a women in her thirties, a couple of years ago. She was on her way out of Dr. Rhodes' office as I was coming in to gather patient stories. Although she was headed to the airport to catch a plane back to Louisiana, she stopped to talk to me when I told her I was writing a book on Dr. Rhodes. She was furious. NOT at Dr. Rhodes, rather at the way she had been treated by pain doctors before she got to Dr. Rhodes.

An injury that led to chronic pain resulted in her undergoing a long list of standard and off-the-wall therapies that had almost killed her. She had endured operations, injections, a wide variety of physical therapies, hot water/cold water treatments, a pic line from her arm to her heart, drugs of every kind. In a nutshell, her life had become a nightmare. She said for the last year of her life, she had lain on the couch 24 hours a day, unable to walk, to feed herself, to think clearly, to do anything. She reached the point where she could no longer talk, couldn't even swallow, and was dying. Her pastor had gathered her family to arrange her funeral. Everyone in her church was praying for her. Then, at almost the last moment, through the grapevine, they learned of a woman in their vicinity who had been in bad shape with chronic pain, had gone to Dr. Rhodes, and was doing fine. Colleen's family decided they had to make one last try to save her. And here she was, three weeks later, up and walking out of Dr. Rhodes' office and telling her story.

I think the problem with treating chronic pain is that most doctors don't know how to alleviate it because there are really no good therapies for the intense type of pain that Dr. Rhodes treats, except for his method. He researched, uncovered information that others have not found, and designed a machine and a use for that machine that are unique. He is a brilliant individual, an all around nice guy, and a man who really cares about his patients. He continues to improve his methods to make recoveries faster and better.

I recently asked two of Dr. Rhodes' patients where they thought they would be today if they had not gone to him. One said, "I would be dead. I couldn't endure that kind of pain. I would have raised my children first, and then I would have killed myself."

The other patient said, "I would be dead. The drugs would have killed me."

Teen girl from Mississippi walking

I went to Dr. Rhodes' clinic today. A teen age girl from Mississippi arrived awhile back with a red foot swollen like a football. She was in a wheelchair. She suffered from extreme, unrelenting pain so severe that even air moving across her foot was agonizing .

Today, she was wearing one of those medical boots and walking on her foot. She's not ready to go home yet, but she's getting there. I see amazing recoveries like this all the time at Dr. Rhodes' clinic. And every time, I am just blown away by what he can do for people no one else can help.

I've seen a number of pain patients on national TV news magazines tell the story of their agony and the futility of their search for relief. I've wanted to reach through the TV screen, take that person's hand, and shout to them, "There's help right here. I know what you have. Come on down and get treated." It breaks my heart that they don't know about Dr. Rhodes.

Maybe, just maybe, with this book and the efforts of Dr. Rhodes' many grateful patients who are trying to spread the word, this genius of a man can get the recognition he so richly deserves and have the opportunity to spread his treatment system across the country so that everyone in chronic pain can toss away their wheelchairs, crutches, and beds of pain and live normal lives once again.

Hi, again.

If you suffer from chronic pain and are looking for relief, I am glad you found this site. I was skeptical back in 2001 when I first met Dr. Rhodes. But what I experienced and what I have seen in his clinic have opened my eyes to an entirely different approach to treating chronic pain. He has patients all over the country who are grateful for what he has done for them. If you want to go to his website, key in www.paindefeat.com.

In addition, you can view three news videos at: www.kiiitv.com. Two were made at his pain clinic. One is an interview of me talking about the book on Dr. Rhodes. At the KIII website, in the search engine, type in: Dr. Rhodes.

The three videos you are looking for are entitled:
Pain Machine Helps Diabetics
Relieving Chronic Pain
Finding a Cure for Diabetes

My best to you.

My first enrty.

I hardly know what I am doing when it comes to blogging. I have repetitions on this page. When I work on the computer, nothings works as it is supposed to. The programs always stick their tongue out at me, then laugh, and roll over and play dead. I spend ten times as much time trying to figure out what to do than I spend actually accomplishing anything. So be patient as I try to learn how to manage this site.

If you read my profile, you will find out why I posted this book here. My regards to all in pain and their loved ones. Your road is not easy. But there is a solution. I know. It worked for me and for so many people I have met who came in wheelchairs and on crutches to this wonderful doctor and left walking. And this was after they had been to some of the best pain specialists in the country.
