The Meeting of a Lifetime after "Making Pilgrimages" to All Sorts of Different Therapies


36-year-old housewife


Oftentimes in life, one doesn't realize the true value of something until after one has lost it. More often than not, at times like this, one begins to search for that which has been lost.

I have battled various ailments from the time I entered my early 20s to just recently, at the age of 40. During these 20 years, I have embarked on a pilgrimage of sorts, in search of an effective remedy for my ills.

Being a product of the student-strife era of the 1960s, I decided just prior to my college graduation to set out for new life in Abashiri, Hokkaido. During the entire train ride to Hokkaido, I was caught in a bitterly cold draft, which left my throat parched and my body feeling as heavy as lead. I hastily returned to Tokyo to learn that I had developed pyelitis. This forced me to change my future plans. In the ensuing 10 years, I suffered from pyelitis, Meniere's disease, facial neuralgia, lumbago and gastritis, among other problems.

Since then I have tried any kind of treatment I hear of. Most of these therapies have their strong and weak points. I tried to achieve a synergetic effect combining them, but still did not approach what could be called genuine health.
