NEURAL THERAPY IN PRACTICE ARCHIVE

Published Newsletters of Dr. Robert F. Kidd

For 13 years Dr. Robert F. Kidd—a founding member of the North American Academy of Neural Therapy—published a monthly newsletter of case studies and practical advice for practitioners of Neural Therapy. The Neural Therapy in Practice newsletter had a large readership. and its impact in North America and around the world was significant.

We are very happy to have received permission to republish all 155 issues of Neural Therapy in Practice in a searchable archive here and in our own monthly newsletter. A sign-up form for our newsletter is at the bottom of this page.

Piercings

Dear Colleagues: Have you ever wondered if the "piercing" fashion might affect health? Personally I cringe when I see piercings in the tongue, nose and around the mouth, if only because of the potential for infection. However, infection is probably a small risk...

Neural Therapy and Detoxification

Dear Colleagues: A 53-year old man from a distant city came to my office for a second opinion with regard to chronic fatigue of ten years duration. He had had numerous investigations and treatments over the years, some of which had helped, but none of which had cured...

Hyperhidrosis

Dear Colleagues: Hyperhidrosis (or excessive perspiration) is not a common reason for patients to consult their physicians. It usually comes up as an incidental symptom, but at times it is severe enough to be taken seriously and even be treated surgically or with...

Letters

Dear Colleagues: Last month's newsletter was about interference fields in the body's energy field. This was initiated by a report from Dr. Richard Nahas  (Volume 7, No. 11) of successful treatment of phantom limb pain by neural therapy of an interference field off the...

Phantom Limb Pain

Dear Colleagues: This month I would like to share a thought-provoking letter from a newsletter reader, Dr Richard Nahas of Ottawa, Canada. It is so well written and so interesting that I am printing it in full with no editing: I can barely contain myself.  I need to...

Infant(Ile) Colic

Dear Colleagues: This month I would like to discuss the problem of the "fussy baby". I use the term "fussy" because a spectrum exists between the newborn infant who simply fusses after being fed, to the full-blown, inconsolable, little screamer, who keeps the family...

Core Concepts of Neural Therapy

Dear Colleagues: I have been corresponding recently with an Austrian newsletter reader, Dr Johanna Osztovics, who has kindly opened a window for me to the world of neural therapy in Europe. I was aware of course that neural therapy originated in Europe, and that it is...

Safety In Neural Therapy

Dear Colleagues: This month I plan to discuss the subject "safety in neural therapy". This is not a topic that comes up often in neural therapy discussions, perhaps because in comparison to most mainstream medical treatments, it is so much safer. I would guess that...

Post-Vasectomy Pain Syndrome

Dear Colleagues: Last month's newsletter was about sexual dysfunction and its relationship to interference fields. It included a case report of a man whose long-standing erectile dysfunction was cured by treating a vasectomy scar with neural therapy. My guess was that...

Sexual Dysfunction

Dear Colleagues: A recent case in my office has prompted me to tackle a complex subject: neural therapy's place in treating sexual dysfunction. A short newsletter does not allow for discussion in depth, but a few observations and a case history may be helpful...

Speransky’s Book Republished

Dear Colleagues: You may have noticed in last month's newsletter notice of re-publication of Speransky's seminal book: Basis of the theory of medicine. There is a story to tell about this republication, or at least of my discovery of it. As readers of this newsletter...

World Conference of Neural Therapy

Dear Colleagues: This month's newsletter is a report on the World Conference of Neural Therapy, which I recently attended in Quito, Ecuador. This is a biannual event, always held in Ecuador, but attracting physicians practicing neural therapy from all over Central and...

Sequestration

Dear Colleagues: This month I would like to discuss sequestration of toxic metals (usually mercury) and what this means in the practice of neural therapy. The word sequestration means in chemistry the binding of a chemical element or compound so that it is no longer...

Hip Pain

Dear Colleagues: When is a hip pain not a hip pain?  The answer is: when the pain is coming from somewhere else. Hip pain is not alone in this regard.  Chronic pain often surfaces in locations far from its origin. However pain felt in the hip is (in my opinion) one of...

Thoughts on Speransky

Dear Colleagues: In the last two newsletters, I described two cases of autoimmune disease that have responded to a new form of energetic neural therapy - a pulsed laser energy designed to treat certain bacterial infections.In both cases clear-cut remissions of...

Neural Therapy and Lasercam

Dear Colleagues: Last month I wrote a preliminary report on a woman whose severe psoriasis responded dramatically to one neural therapy treatment of a sphenopalatine ganglion.  http://www.neuraltherapybook.com/newsletters/.  She continues to do well.  However the...

Neural Therapy and Autoimmune Disease

Dear Colleagues: The interface between neural therapy and autoimmune disease is a complicated one.  The etiology of autoimmune diseases is poorly understood to begin with, and what role the nervous system has in initiation and propagation of these conditions is...

Energetic Model of Interference Fields

Dear Colleagues: A few months ago I briefly discussed an energetic (as opposed to a neurophysiological) model of interference fields. (See July 2011  e-newsletter at mail to: http://www.neuraltherapybook.com/newsletters/.)  The energetic model is best understood as a...

Skin Interference Fields

Dear Colleagues: I don't usually think of the skin (or a portion of it) as being a potential interference field.  But last winter I had an otherwise healthy 37-year old dairy farmer present with an allergic dermatitis that turned out to be caused by not one, but by...

Prostate Trouble

Dear Colleagues: This month I would like to discuss the prostate gland: that unsung hero of reproduction and the bane of middle-aged and older men.  Most men don't even know they have one until something goes wrong -in younger men it is usually prostatitis, and in...

Book Review [6,7]

Dear Colleagues: It is always a pleasure to report on something new in the (English-speaking) world of neural therapy. This month I want to briefly review a recently published book: "Beyond pills, knives and needles" by Charles Crosby DO, the inventor of the Tenscam....

Fecal Incontinence

Dear Colleagues: This month, I would like to discuss one of the most frustrating and embarrassing conditions that may befall the human body.  That is - fecal incontinence. In the US, approximately 1 of 12 adults suffers from this condition. Generally speaking, its...

South American Energetics

Dear Colleagues: Last month I intimated that North and South American neural therapists may have something to teach each other about the world of energetics.  This was based on what I learned at a recent conference in Ecuador on neural therapy. For those of you who...

Neural Therapy Conference In Guayaquil, Ecuador

Dear Colleagues, I would like to devote this month's newsletter to some "news" - a report on a recent neural therapy conference in Guayaquil, Ecuador.  As some of you may remember, Dr. Carlos Chiriboga of Ecuador spoke at a small neural therapy conference in Canada...
