Welcome . . .
- I spent the time available working out – why is this happening . .
- And now have some more thoughts.
Here is the case:
- Simone, 51. 2012 Breast cancer left side. Had a lumpectomy and took out lymph nodes under arm. Did chemo 3 months and radiation 6 weeks. Tamoxifen 2 years. Having annual thermograms after that and all ok. Went into menopause while taking Tamoxifen. Periods since come back but have been erratic and is getting hot sweats at night and hot feet.
- February 2019: Lost 10kgs in 3 weeks on a diet – got cellulitis on left elbow which spread up arm and over left breast. Left side no lymph nodes. Had strong antibiotics. Was really fluey and unwell – same feeling re-occurred for weeks afterwards. At this time had really crampy periods.
- 2019 Integrative GP recommended taking amalgams out. She had an infected root canal right side which related to breast.
- August 2019 did a gut reset programme and had a massive detox reaction like a bad flu.
- October 2020 she did Keto reset diet for 30 days – lost a bit of weight. Gut felt better. Been lethargic since then and energy not come back.
- Simone first came to see me in July 2019 for epicondylitis in her left arm and for low back pain mainly on the left side and hip pain on the right side. She “put her back out” in yoga late 2018. Is said to have “hypermobile joints”. She gets a grabbing pain after sitting for a while and difficult turning over in bed. Like a toothache pain – bit nervy. She doesn’t like being in one position for too long. Stiff in the mornings alright once she gets going. Back “locks” up when getting out of a car. She has to think about engaging her core muscles before doing anything slightly strenuous. Her right neck has also been an issue – tight and restricting movement. Also, her gut has always been an issue; feeling bloated and uncomfortable after eating no matter what. Just developed an intolerance to eggs – made her feel sick. Feeling extra fat around her upper back relating to Liver. Her body feels heavy and sluggish and is lacking in energy and motivation.
- Owned a boutique brewery with now ex-husband and was drinking quite a bit of wine at that time = unhappy. Now owns a boutique coffee roasting business!!!
- She does yoga and works with a PT in the gym. Had been seeing a Chiro regularly and Postural specialist physio. Chiro treatments not holding. Then she was recently seeing an osteopath and got some improvement with her back. He also did a correction for her IC valve.
- She has a very good Shen = good sparkle and sense of humour. Fun to be with.
- I suggested she come and have some Gentling Way intensive sessions with me and so far we have completed 4 x 2 hour intensive sessions in December 2020.
- She felt shattered after the first session and found it hard to get to sleep even though she was tired. She developed sore eyes that felt like they were infected. I suggested she take extra Vit C and Zinc. Her Zinc test described as “sweet and astringent”. She felt extra lethargic for a few days. Bloating now comes and goes. Her back feels a lot better. Rolling over in bed is a lot easier. Was doing chest & belly massage couple of times a day. BM much improved. Had been a bit sluggish. Neck sore both sides but back feeling a lot better. If sitting too long takes a few steps to get moving.
- Doing Paleo diet. Gluten upsets her. Stopped soy milk and stopped drinking water during the night. Not eating breakfast – eating 12-1pm. 2 coffees in am + water. Butter, olive oils, avocado.
- Second session was not as smashed as after the first session. She has a right anterior pelvis – right hip and shoulder blade about 1cm higher than left side. Which reduced by 1/2cm after first session. Did accident Recall: had several car accidents – whiplash, seatbelt whiplash, horse fell on abdomen, in 20’s had jaw surgery left side was very painful and traumatic. She was interfered with when 8 years old by 14 year old foster child. Didn’t tell her parents as she wanted to protect little brother. Emotion that came up after first session was loneliness – being alone. Tender ovarian whirls right side and ovarian sweep right side. Cold abdomen 34.4 degrees – head 35.5 – although she feels hot. Skin is cold and clammy to the touch.
- After second session her back got sore again for about 3 days – after lifting heavy box off back of a truck. She feels the intensives are really helping her. Weeding or gardening back still feels weak. Like muscles go to sleep. She is fine when doing exercise. Digestive is much better, BM regular good consistency. After eating stomach feels bit distended – not bloating or sore guts like before. Sleeping better than before. Back is more manageable. Doesn’t hurt when sitting. Getting to stand up much better. Turning in bed better – less difficult. Right hip clicking when rotating. Lacking in energy in last week. Not as shattered after last session. Cold belly especially above navel – temp came up quickly. She said she feels numb right lower side of abdomen and hip.
- She has been sleeping especially well since third tx. Feet haven’t been burning at night. Back been a bit stiff – locks up after lying down. Haven’t needed to do exercises before getting up in morning. Certain exercises at gym felt it. Yoga stretches pigeon pose difficult. Still first two steps – need to prepare lower back. Ankles are stiff and tight. Lacking in motivation – lethargy.
- 4th session cupped her again. She doesn’t feel the but her cold body feels cold and damp – not as damp as it was. Once I warmed her up she actually felt cold. I used LI10 and Lu7 which sorted her neck out. I think she has lingering pathogenic factors – she had gastro a few months ago and was very sick.
- After this 4th session she felt very unwell that night and her tummy was sore for a couple of days. She feels flat in mood and as if she is detoxing. Lot better on day 3.

- I have a swag of thoughts on the herbs – inappropriate – what is the intention? CALM THE SHEN
Yes – must sort out the damp/rubbish that has happened -but the Chinese dogmatic way ignores the person . .she is not a digestive system on legs. is NOT the way we use here – is counter productive – too bitsy.
Please read Encounters With Qi – David Einstein. (CLICK)
- Belinda’s Reflections:
- I was a bit casual when beginning the intensive sessions, as I had treated this person on and off for a while. I should have taken a more in-depth history going through her Inner Library and the Jing Markers list. I should have done the Triage as taught by Heather – Shock, Cold and Scars, plus the Accident Recall from the start.Aelso, if I had known her history of sexual abuse at the beginning, and also that she had been in a few car accidents, then the Aggressive Energy Drain – yin points on tew back might have been helpful.
My thoughts – medical fail – reactivity at its worst – who asked why the cancer, why the left breast and why then in her life and and not 10 years before or after?
Context is all – please all watch the 2nd DVD in the series on the 8 Extras page.
(Context of women’s lives). How we are to live/how we have been Bonsaied matters.
What has she come in with?
Pain . .
Is she sleeping well?
Have hot feet gone?
ASK – vaxx history.
Look at what magnesium does – and to slather it on topically – 20X daily – serious.
Vit D3 – how much?
And temperature of the food that is going on (not in) – do a food diary.
As almost all think the naturopathic version is best
COLD/RAW/SWEET is banned till she has a liver/thyroid that works .
BBT is????
Get the LIV 52.D.S. from India abundance and take 2 x 2 daily for a few months – not the Chinese ones.
Incomplete – to do another day soon
Belinda pleas tell us what happened each day . .
I could send more of my stash tomorrow in Chch if you think – as this needs fiixng and not the micromanagement the herbs are doing – all will complicate her healing.
At least a gall bladder flush x 2 months worth first – DECLUTTER ..
THREAD MOXA – please discount it.

WHY?
https://heatherbrucehealing.com/healsbruh/what-lies-beneath/
Easy to do – if it is NOT hot – then she needs. . set it up as though you will be there for ages – seems to me that the hiding of self is arguing with the need to change/heal
Kaliana would be a good start.
Next time – Shen calming . .
