Dear Bert,

Everytime I see your posts I think of about a hundred different replies then I stop myself and say....no....respond like you always do.

Dr. Eaton is the only Paris-trained NA practitioner in the US.

Bert, do you know what an 'Troll' is? It's someone who posts with a hidden agenda, it may be a to enjoy fighting with someone, it may be to gain power and control over for the fun of it, gossip, etc... generally a troll is someone who has an adjenda either knowingly or not to manipulate/disrupt a website without wavering no matter who says what.

There is excellent information about trolls on the Flame 1 website, google it, you'll have a laugh.

God Bless.

Dear Jerry,

I will only see a Paris-trained NA practitioner because then I will *know* my doctor has been trained in NA. Dr. Eaton, an experienced, well respected hand surgeon felt it was necessary to travel to Paris to recieve training in NA in order to perform it, all I am doing is following his lead.

Ok. Who wants to the the first patient to have NA with a doctor who is teaching themselves how to perform it?

Joe.

An experienced hand surgeon already has detailed knowledge of the anatomy of the hand. He's seen and repaired it from the inside, which a rheumatologist probably has not. What's different here is doing a fasciotomy 'blind' using a very small implement. Sure it's a tricky business - one wants to cut no more than is absolutely necessary before snapping the cord, and the nerves have to be carefully avoided. Still, when one considers that hand surgeons often end up surgically reconnecting nevers severed by accident, it's clear they have respect for the difficulties - which is a big reason they've been dismissing NA when they hear about it.

I know that once some more good surgeons like Dr. Eaton become aware of the success of this procedure, they'll start doing it - carefully, competently and profitably.

Doctor William Bourland, Memphis, Tennessee performed the Needle Aproneurotomy on both hands/fingers (Of course not on the same day). The results to date are fantastic. My recommendation to anyone that has DC/DD go for the NA procedure, not surgery, unless it is absolutely necessary. May all with DC have the great results that I have had. I had rather have fifty (50) NAs than one surgery for DC. Thatis one of the advantages of NA: You can have it over and over, if necessary - no so with surgery. NA has several other advantages over surgery that you may want to research.
