so when you injure yourself you have a stuck you  actually develop a stuck flow of pain and that  

that thing is stuck in a joint and a muscle in  the area of the body so what I’m going to do is  

I’m going to demonstrate that on someone in the  room who has like a real chronic pain that just  

is there for a long time and won’t go away you  do what do you have okay does it hurt because  

that’s a little different okay hurt right now  okay good come up here so a trigger finger is  

a it’s a little scar tissue that develops on  the tendons that could get stuck there and you  

can’t move it yeah okay so we’ll have you stand  right here come a little closer good okay so you  

have where it where’s the pain okay so now the  first thing did you have an injury there or just  

happened carpal tunnel okay so what happens it’s  like it’s hard to extend it or kind of get stuck  

there sometimes okay and it hurts okay all right  so now we’re going to have someone fix it here she  

goes come up here and that way I can kind of walk  everyone through it right let’s come over here so  

you stand right over here you’re going to be the  practitioner you’re going to be as a patient okay  

you give me the doctor the patient yes you do  and so here’s here’s the thing how many of you  

have seen any of the videos on pain that I’ve  done anyone okay how many have never saw these  

videos okay this is going to kind of blow you  away because this is very very different every  

single technique that we’re going to teach you  every single procedure works on the principle  

of opposites so the way we’re going to fix this  pain is to trigger the opposite side of the body  

how many have never heard that before okay when  you first hear it it’s kind of like what that’s  

weird how could you do that well believe me it  works you can select your arm now why would it  

work why would working on the opposite point  be more effective getting rid of pain than  

working on the same side because you have all  these circuits these connections that and guess  

what this side of the body is connected to this  side on electrical circuit when you step on a  

dog’s tail p-box to his mouth right so the hip  bones connected to the thigh bone cuz I bones  

connected so it’s all connected that allows you  to walk I’m just trying to break it down so when  

you walk you don’t walk like this you yeah  sometimes you do sometimes you walk and you  

think Renee your left and right side of your body  every time if someone pushed me forward this foot  

is going to go forward like what how did I do that  because the left and right in the front back is  

all connected to all these little circuits so you  have electrical wires that go from this finger to  

this finger and that allows you to pick things up  and coordinate and support and open things up so  

that’s how it works very complex circuitry it’s  like the body’s like a machine so what we can  

do is we can press stimulate the exact opposite  side of the body okay click it rid of the pain  

point now this works like real it works fast and  no one does this they don’t teach us in school so  

that’s what I’m teaching you you’re going to  be quiet you’re going to be quite amazed now  

the thing is what’s interesting about this is  that when you work on the opposite side it’ll  

be twice as tender on the good side only when you  press so apparently the energy kind of builds up  

on the other side especially if it’s chronic  but this won’t hurt normally unless you press  

on it so how do we know we’re on the right spot  look for the point that hurts twice as much and  

they’ll go what the heck I didn’t know that her  so when she presses that point what’s happening  

is we are resetting the electrical circuit of  basically working on the brain we’re kind of  

teaching the brain to turn off its electrical  signal and some of you are going to say oh dr.  

Burke if I stepped on your toe of course you’re  going to feel better and have no that’s not how  

it works doctor in the work so so let’s let’s  just the first thing you do is we’re going to  

rate her pain 10 being very severe zero being no  pain how would you rate it 10 right now okay so  

now we’re going to take this hand go ahead and  take it and you have a point to where it hurts

can you label it get the exact spot know  that let her point to it okay good so now  

where would be the opposite point on that wait  wait right here okay because you have to think  

in opposites okay so now you’re going to take  this hand taking out big tickets do your thumb  

and kind of work that out okay and dig in there  pretty good see if you can find it you’re going  

to tell her if it’s tender or not okay so now  I’m just going to do it just to make sure that  

you can relax hand with the other hand see  yeah so I’m gonna press in here okay you see  

her ID so you want to feel around a little more  firmly to find the exact epicenter so it’s like  

right through in here okay go ahead and find  that in right here okay press them they’re a  

little bit more firmly and you tell if it’s the  same pressure go a little harder come a little  

bit more this way up good yeah is that it okay  just kind of work that a little bit work that  

for about an hour that’s it now now so we’re  just kind of right now where it’s kind of she  

were sending circulation down to the side that  she has a lost communication right there okay  

so now now how long does it take this probably  maybe five seconds to something’s like so this  

ease off there and just give me a number on that  side it was a 10 okay now did it move in location

okay where’s the pain now it’s still here but it’s  not right it’s left okay good so so what I’m going  

to do is just to speed this up so we’re just going  to press press in here a little bit more so you  

kind of point a little bit lower so you see how  I’m just kind of going in there a little bit and  

you want to just rub it a little bit and a regular  basis just to kind of send the signals in there a  

little bit well she’s going to feel pain right now  until I stop but I’m just kind of now you don’t  

want to press too hard I’m just kind of going in  there a little bit just to kind of ease up some  

of the pain through there and I’m watching your  eyeball so they don’t pop out and you don’t want  

to create too much trauma on there but can you  see okay okay now let’s just see what that is now  

  • okay did it move in location okay that’s five  okay all right did it move in location or still  

in the same spot okay where point to it so you see  what’s happening it’s changing see what happens it  

won’t completely erase until you get the exact  light but since she is kind of a broad thing  

sometimes you have to narrow it down so we come  a little bit lower and we just kind of work right  

through this point is up too painful okay good  good it’s like a good hurt okay so you do that  

you definitely want to apologize for the pain that  I’m putting her into I’m really sorry about that  

and okay so now okay so let’s just see what is now  free okay I like that now did it move in location

okay so go ahead and take it and work work down  just kind of work down that finger you use some  

to do some fresher yeah just go in there and  kind of small you know I don’t have a cat okay

stay on that tenth yeah like we’re doing half  right so basically very simply we’re pressing  

on the optimi R image side okay now we could  probably do this for maybe ten minutes and  

completely get rid of that pain how long  do we have it for yeah so cortisone shots  

are anti-inflammatories and cortisone is an  adrenal hormone and they come with a package  

because it’ll mess up your own Guidry nails  so it will temporarily work probably just  

come back we have an appointment Monday okay  if you have any pain leftover dining tonight

Wow so you did it good job so what’d you give  me numbers or is like what is it how would you  

rate it now it’s about three Wow yeah Wow all  right so let’s give her a good job on that rep  

yeah good job so thanks for coming up you’re  welcome you’re welcome hey guys thank you so
