Recently, a friend of mine sent me an email saying that he had just had an amazing treatment on his spine called Atlasprofilax. This is a procedure whereby the therapist uses a machine to position the Atlas, the bone that supports the head, into its correct position. According to the Atlasprofilax website, everyone has a dislocated Atlas. We were all born that way. A therapist showed me x-rays of someone's Atlas prior to treatment and indeed it appeared to be too far to the left! Consequently, the Atlas sits against the spinal cord causing unnecessary stress on the nervous system.

The Atlasprofilax treatment costs $250. Once your Atlas is in the correct place, you have a check up one week later to make sure it has remained in the right position.

I was curious. I was interested. At the same time, I was worried that the procedure might be dangerous. What should I do? I could chat it over with my mother who is a physiotherapist but then again, I already knew her answer: 'Don't do it, it's too risky, your neck's fine,' etcetera, etcetera. It wasn't necessary to ask too many people if I should have the Atlasprofilax treatment - from deep within, my intuition was saying very loudly and clearly, 'Just do it!' After a few days of further research on the internet, talking with my friend and listening to my inner voice crying out to go ahead, I made an appointment with the naturopath who specializes in the Atlasprofilax treatment. Mum was kept in the dark.

With some nerves, I attended the naturopath's home where she works. As I entered the waiting room, I took a blue Atlasprofilax brochure and sat down. 'Hmmm, looks interesting,' I thought. From the nearby cubicle, I heard two women chatting away. Minutes later, one of the women, a client, entered the waiting room with a broad smile and collected her boots. She slipped them on and happily said goodbye to the naturopath. I learned in my session that this woman had just had her follow up, Atlasprofilax treatment. 'Hmmm, she seemed cheerful,' I thought, reassuring myself.

Now it was my turn. I entered the consulting room and stripped down to my undies. The naturopath first massaged my upper back and neck. The muscles need to be loosened up so that the Atlas moves easily back into its correct place. Then the naturopath held my head in a certain way and applied the machine to it. I will be honest with you - the next few minutes hurt. The machine struck the left side of my neck again and again. I breathed deeply and that helped ease the discomfort. The naturopath then pounded with her magic machine on the right side of my neck. It was all over so quickly. It was done. My Atlas had been pushed swiftly into its correct position. The naturopath had me move my neck from left to right. It seemed OK. I'd survived.

The next day I woke and felt more energy flowing into my head. For many years, I have felt a disharmony between my head and my body. I always felt as if my head was being deprived in some way, energetically or physically. But now, my head felt connected to my body. It no longer felt different to my body. Maybe more blood was flowing to my head because I felt mentally clearer. My eyesight had improved. The specks in my field of vision that I sometimes notice were fainter. And the freedom of movement in my neck was amazing! My head moved around so smoothly and easily. It felt good to move my head and on a few instances I pretended I was Stevie Wonder. For the following week, I delighted in using my new neck!

Some weeks later, I reported my treatment to my mother. Some of her fears came out. They would have been ten fold if I'd asked for her advice about this very new therapy. She was glad that it had made a difference. I suggested that she too have the treatment and her response was, 'I can tell you right now that I won't be doing it.' Oh well, at least I tried.

Soon after the follow up treatment, I had lunch with two friends who had their Atlas' corrected. One said that it was the best two hundred and fifty dollars that she had spent. I agreed and thanked her for telling my other friend (the one who emailed me) about this wonderful and safe procedure. I thanked the naturopath with a quick email and then thanked God.

Now I want YOU to consider having this treatment. It really does make you feel better. Some people have reported improvements on a physical, emotional and spiritual level. Others have felt better on one or two levels. And the benefits can appear months, even years later, as your body attunes itself to having its Atlas in the correct position.
