Red Umbilical Cord Mark Appears on Patient’s Throat

The body releases its traumas in its own space and time.

Five years ago, I treated a young boy with headaches and a history of the umbilical cord wrapped twice around his neck.

I spent 26 visits revisiting and helping to clear a fetal sustained compressive abnormal position, causing his pain.

He is now presenting with upper-body pain from a car accident. On today’s 15th visit focusing on this accident—the 41st visit in all—the classical red cord mark appeared on his throat. Wow—just sitting there all this time.

When you just listen to the body, it will direct authentic healing.
