Israeli Physician Impressed by DRUMmer Treatment.
Dr. Shimon Rochkind, MD, Sorasky Medical Center, Tel Aviv, Israel shows his pleasure and joy following a positive outcome
of a Full Spectrum Reflexology treatment prescribed by him for a brain injury patient during 2002 NAALT Conference in Atlanta,
GA, USA.
Dr. Rochkind wasn't sure what reflexology was all about when he accepted an invitation from Zachary Brinkerhoff to experience
the DRUMmer reflexology machine aka Dr. Riley's Ultra Massager. He had met Zachary at the '98 WALT Conference in Kansas City
and visited with him on brief occasions during subsequent NAALT Conferences held here in the USA, but didn't really understand
what a doctor of reflexology was?
It was the last day of the Atlanta NAALT Conference when Dr. Brinkerhoff finally made a presentation when called upon
at the Expert Panel Discussion. His brief on the systemic-effect within the human frame (which he induced by noncoherent red/near-infrared
light energy) had contradicted Shimon's research published 30 years past. However, M.I.R. Research and Development Clinic
studies showed that there was a systemic-effect upon the human frame induced by both incoherent and low level laser light.
Shimon was a little unsettled with this new report on the systemic-effect.
The day after the Conference Zachary had an opportunity to visit with Shimon about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict while
visiting in the hotel restaurant. He shared his viewpoint that the Israeli's had the greatest responsibility to settle their
ongoing dispute (with which Rochkind disagreed). When Zachary had made his point ... the issue was dropped in order to avoid
any argumentation. Then, just an hour later, Zachary was offering Shimon an opportunity for a free post-conference demo of
his profession: a reflexology treatment with the DRUMmer reflexology machine.
Shimon Rochkind, MD, was amazed with the results of
the DRUMmer reflex action.
A combination of humility, professionalism and curiosity moved Shimon to accept the offer and he was startled at his body's
response: "I can't understand how that jackhammer machine pounding on the bottom of my foot at 4,400 impacts per minute
(which does feel good) can cause me to feel sensations all over my body at specific points. I have never experienced anything
like this," exclaimed Shimon, "I just don't understand what is going on?"
Following his brief ten minute DRUMmer reflexology treatment, Shimon was so impressed that he made a request of Zachary:
"There is a resident of Atlanta who survived a bullet wound to the head in the Atlanta Trade Center shooting 2 years
ago. As a Russian Jew he turned to Israel for help in his recovery, but there is nothing we can do for his remaining paralysis.
I have an appointment with him here at the hotel in 30 minutes. Will you give him a DRUMmer reflexology machine treatment?
Do you think reflexology can help him?"
Zachary assured Shimon that the reflexology would help and agreed to give his patient a Full Spectrum Reflexology treatment.
Thirty minutes later Yosef hobbled into the restaurant leaning on his cane with his wife at his side. As they seated themselves
at the restaurant table for consultation, Zachary explained to Yosef and his wife that he would concentrate reflexology treatment
on the K1 meridian point located on the bottom of each foot; and also on the ends of his toes ... using the Texas Toe-Nut
reflex tip. This would be followed by radiation to the dorsum (top) of his bare feet using the red/near-infrared rays of the
Photon Beamer VI-6.
"When you come out of the sedation state following exposure to the Reflexology Beamer, your right hand (now clenched
into a fist) will open smoothly and lay flat. This will be an indicator of the ability of this dynamic reflexology treatment
to affect the injured area in your brain. This will be a first step ... a means to encouraged you to continue daily self-help
reflexology treatment at home in order to attain your maximum potential for recovery which could take up to a year."
Yosef's wife was very pleased when she saw Yosef's hand stay open.
Yosef seated himself in the chair and submitted his right foot for treatment. After 20 minutes of intense DRUMmer reflexology
machine treatment to the K1 and then all ten toes, Yosef's feet were put under the Beamer for the second stage of reflexology
treatment.
This reflexology treatment was conducted under the scrutiny of Dr. Rochkind who kept asking the recipient: "Yosef,
your hand, how is your hand?" Each time Yosef would respond by trying to unclench his fist by pulling on the fingers,
but the fist would not remain unclenched. However, Shimon seemed to remain hopeful.
When Zachary observed Yosef's emergence from the sedation state, he turned off the Beamer and commented: "Reflexology
treatment is over." Immediately Shimon jumped up from his chair and ran around the table to Yosef's side. "Yosef,
give me your hand ... let me see your hand."
Yosef and his wife were told by Dr. Rochkind that insurance would pay for M.I.R.'s Home Study upon receipt of his prescription
in order that they have the equipment to finish the treatment program. An Israeli Physicians order!
As Shimon lifted Yosef's hand into his open palm... he pulled his Yosef's fingers back to open the fist. To both their
amazement the fingers laid flat and stayed in position ... the hand stayed open ... the fist was gone.
Shimon stood in awe ... looking at the open hand. When he realized that the hand was going to stay open, he look up, pointing
his finger at Zachary, and said, "You have a job in Israel."
Zachary knew Dr. Rochkind's invitation to work in Israel was sincere, so he responded with a counter offer: "I will
be happy to visit Israel in order to train one person in each Israeli hospital in our Full Spectrum Reflexology techniques;
which you have witnessed here today. But I will have to give equal time by sharing my advanced reflexology techniques with
the Palestinians too."
Shimon responded immediately: "I perform medical services for Palestinians too. I understand your need to give them
equal time."
However, Zachary's trip to Israel was postponed indefinitely by an emergency back surgery to strengthen a Charcot sacrum
joint. His plan for bringing these advanced reflexology techniques to Israel through Shimon Rochkind's invitation hit a snag.
However, new opportunity presented itself to accomplish the original mission when MIR enrolled the first student from Israel:
R'Dovid Wheeler.
People of Israel ... get ready. Full Spectrum Reflexology is now arising in your midst.
