We have spent years seeking treatments both conventional and non-conventional for Ellen's rare condition. While better pain management is the immediate goal of  this web site, the ultimate goal is emotional and yes, spiritual renewal. Without effective pain management, chronic pain sufferers often lose hope and any sense of meaning and dignity in their lives. Our efforts are directed at improving pain management, thus allowing for personal renewal and the most essential element to well being, a sense of hope.
