Stop sciatic pain in its tracks

There is no adequate mainstream surgical or medical treatment for sciatica. Sciatic pain radiates down the course of the sciatic nerve on the backside of the thigh. The pain can be quite severe, for some it can be debilitating.

There IS a treatment, called sphenopalatine ganglion block, that is beneficial and perhaps curative in many sciatica cases. Unfortunately, the required medical solution, liquid cocaine, is rarely administered because physicians fear potential backlash from the federal and state governments.

The treatment itself is straight- forward, non-surgical, and inexpensive. The procedure involves placing a Q-tip soaked in a 10 percent cocaine solution up the nose so that it rests against the SP ganglion, located behind the back surface of the inner nasal cavity. The ganglion is like a railroad yard in a big city where all the tracks come together. All pain, from headaches to back pain, must enter this portal. The cocaine migrates through the membranes and the bone to anesthetize the ganglion.

Now, before you stop reading and write me off as a lunatic, let me just say that this therapy doesn't require frequent application, so addiction is not an issue here. Usually a series of daily treatments for a week will stop the pain for many weeks and sometimes months and even years. I used it with astounding results for 10 years while practicing in Georgia.

Panama is probably the closest place where you'll find a qualified, compassionate doctor who will administer this therapy. It's also available in just about every country in Europe, and if you're in severe pain from sciatica, the trip could be well worth it.
