We are sure that, as a naturopath, you want to provide the best health support to your clients, using different resources and practices which together will lead to better results. Therefore, coMra therapy is an useful tool which can be applied by everyone and goes very well with other holistic medicine practices. Even if you have never used low laser therapy before as a natural medical, after a short training and some research you will be able to design coMra treatments in order to support the healing process in your clients. In this article, you will find the most essential information about coMra and why it is an ideal addition to any natural medicine practice. 

How does coMra mean?

In short, coMra therapy works to restore the body’s natural coherence by applying highly coherent forms of non-invasive energy directly to the cells and organs that are affected by a pathological process. As these cells restore their internal structure and function, they in turn take care of the disease and naturally resolve the symptom – be it pain, trauma, suppressed immunity and so on.

The coMra therapy stands for coherence achieved through Modulation of different radiances. We knew that there are essentially 4 radiant energies that have to be united into working together as one coherent whole: infrared laser, four basic colours Red-Green-Blue-Yellow, magnetic field and ultrasound. 

In 2009, Radiant Life Technologies made a breakthrough taking physiotherapy to a totally new level through discovery of the much sought-after technique to combine all four of the radiances into one coherently operating whole.

Why are low level lasers (cold lasers) so effective?

In fact, coMra therapy is a consequence of the research and efforts of hundreds of people around the world who have explored how to use various physical modalities for healing and prevention. In other words, coMra is the result of 50 years of research. It was discovered as early as in the 1960s that low level lasers have certain therapeutic effects. Such lasers were dubbed as “cold lasers” because of their low power which would not cause any burning or heating effect on the body. Since then, various techniques were explored to improve their effectiveness.

The most effective was found to be a combination of a laser and magnetic field. The combined work of the two allowed to achieve a stronger therapeutic effect with a lower level of laser power. This made magnetic laser therapy very safe and suitable for home users, especially as laser hardware advanced and lasers became much smaller and available.

First attempts to produce devices suitable for home users could be dated as early as the end of 1980s. Since then millions of various devices were sold around the world. However further attempts to improve their effectiveness, safety and simplicity of use never ceased.

Who applies it and where coMra is used?

Besides many home users, it is mostly popular with naturopath practitioners – acupuncturists, reflexologists, osteopaths and chiropractors, herbal specialists, device therapy specialists etc.,as well as with veterinary doctors. Many practitioners found that coMra therapy complements their existing practice in a very gentle manner and provides better outcomes and long-term results of their patients.

As of 2020 coMra therapy is used by home users and practitioners in more than 20 countries, including Australia, Austria, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Czech republic, France, Germany, Greece, India, Indonesia, Jamaica, Malaysia, New Zealand, Russia, Slovakia, South Africa, Spain, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States, etc.

How Does coMra Therapy Work?

The power of homeostasis

Thousands of processes take place in the body all the time and each second it repairs and renovates tissues; eliminates toxins and waste; nurtures, feeds and supports the life of cells; tracks and kills pathogens; keeps temperature and pressure constant. In fact, the body is very capable of self-healing and recovery and it has its own intelligence on how to maintain this vital homeostasis in order to stay alive and healthy. 

To do that, the body needs energy resources and this is where coMra comes in to help. While normal visible light is absorbed quickly by the skin and the layer under it, the infrared light goes much deeper and in that way it can reach the internal organs, blood, lymph etc. When the light is caught by the cells, it is then turned into energy by the mitochondria is stored in a small molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP)

What is the coMra approach?

The standard allopathic medication approach aims to manipulate one of the chemical pathways as an attempt to control the whole process that leads to a disease. However, the problem with this approach is the really limited knowledge which medical science has about various pathways working in the body and how they are interconnected. The inherent thinking in this approach is that “the body makes mistakes and we humans need to correct them”. 

However, experience shows that we, as humans, have often overestimated our knowledge. What is known today is a huge amount of information, however it is only the tip of an iceberg. New connections and dependencies are discovered each and every year.

On the other hand, coMra embraces a different approach, namely that “the body is always right”. The main task of coMra therapy is to support the body in its own ways of being healthy and to activate the process of natural healing. All of this is balanced by nature and evolution over millions of years. In all life everything is fully interconnected and interrelated, therefore to interfere with such a complexity is an utter risk.

How coMra Works WITH the Body?

Actually, what coMra does is that it works in the same direction as the natural process, not trying to control or change it but by providing additional energy, it induces the healing abilities of the body. The infrared laser and the magnetic field work together to create the primary effect of coMra therapy as they are specifically aligned to one another in order to increase their good qualities. In addition to that, in coMra we have specially modulated light diodes and, in Delta devices, there is also ultrasound. Let us now look into details and see how all the components of coMra work together and create this much needed coherence.

The Low Level Laser

Lasers have such a type of energy that is very resonant or coherent – every pulse of it goes steadily. This creates a strong effect at much lower power than the normal light, because every living cell will resonate with that one frequency stronger and stronger with every pulse.

This process charges the miniature battery in every cell – mitochondria. However, much more is happening since every process inside the cell is activated. This includes general processes like breathing, nutrition, elimination but also could be something much more specific like the functions of the immune cells, for example. 

The Magnetic Field

And since this resonance is happening in a magnetic field, with every pulse each element within the cell will become more and more aligned. The interaction and communication between the cells would be positively affected as well. Their “clocks” will be synchronised in a way, so that the overall co-operation will become much more efficient for some time. That is why whatever natural process is happening, when coMra is applied – it will become more efficient and balanced.

The colour LEDs

The colour LEDs give a gentle additional pulse. They are arranged in certain patterns and work in a certain sequence. All of them are specifically modulated in relation to the laser and in this way most of their light is absorbed by the skin and the subcutaneous layer. This layer of skin is richly saturated with nerve endings. So, most of the colour signals will reach the peripheral nervous system.

As a matter of fact, colours are very much connected to the state of the nervous system which then has a direct psycho-physical impact on the body and its functions. Each colour has a slightly different impact on the nervous system – one may be activating, another is soothing, etc. The way in which the colours are arranged in coMra, gives the body and the nervous system a most balanced stimulation in one case and rejuvenation, in another.

The Ultrasound

Ultrasound creates rhythmic physical pulsation in the tissues, that is why all inter- and intra-cellular processes are improved. So, it works like a catalyst providing a very gentle “massage” to the layers of the skin, increasing the blood circulation and creating new ways for the infrared light from the laser to reach the cells. Only coMra Delta devices have the ultrasound function additionally to the low level laser, magnets and diodes in the coMra Palm. 

How is coMra different from other devices?

More does not mean better, in other words less is more when we speak about lasers and their home use. When Radiant Life Technologies was developing coMra, it was very clear that the key to an effective therapy is not only to combine four radiances together, but also to make them work together in harmony. That is why coMra is safer than other devices and more effective as well.

Ten years ago, we designed our first laser therapy device coMra Delta as the safest and yet one of the most effective devices on the market. The word “safest” means that every person may apply coMra on their own, in most circumstances. By just applying the simple precautions given in the User Guide, it will help with zero side effects. All of the above, together with a very detailed User Guide which is one of the most comprehensive on the market, made coMra devices to be most suitable for the Home User.

Besides that, we designed a Delta 905nm coMra device which is even faster in terms of healing effects. It works very well, especially in a professional environment, allowing for shorter treatments and longer pauses between the treatments. Then three years ago, coMra Palm was created as the smaller and portable version of the preceding devices. 

Which health conditions can be treated with coMra?

Now, we have reached the serious question about the health conditions which can be treated successfully with coMra. Besides the experience with various conditions received by our own research, a global coMra community constantly evolves that knowledge to find new and more effective ways to use coMra therapy. Because of the principles used in coMra, it can be used to treat practically any existing health condition. There are certain areas where coMra therapy is most effective, some areas where it requires more efforts to get healing results and some diseases where it is not that effective.

For example, coMra therapy is very effective for treating wounds, bruises, burns and other injuries, many types of peripheral pain, various infections and inflammations. It is also effective, but requires more effort when healing the joints; the brain; all internal organs like the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, pancreas; various body systems, like the digestive, urinary, elimination, lymphatic, circulatory and nervous system. It is effective but will take more time to see the positive results when treating endocrine disorders, autoimmune disorders, skin disorders. Finally, it is not that effective against various hereditary and genetic disorders as it is a non-invasive method for healing but in any case, it will provide a more comfortable life for the patient soothing some symptoms.

Why to use coMra therapy in your practice as a naturopath?

2 1

If you are still wondering how coMra will improve your experience as a holistic medicine practitioner and what benefits it has, we have put the following list together. From one side, coMra will work as a little push into the final stage of the healing process, on the other, it will give you more confidence to take cases which are normally out of your scope.

Treating difficult cases

Sometimes the natural medical would achieve only a limited success when working together with the patient or you might reach a healing plateau where no further improvement is visible. In that matter, coMra therapy helps you to get past stumbling blocks in the healing process and can serve as a good complementary method to your practice.

Treating cases that are normally out of your scope

Sometimes your regular client may come with a problem that you would not treat with your normal range of therapies. Now, because coMra therapy is so versatile, instead of referring clients to another specialist, you would be able to treat them using the guidelines from the User Guide or to request advice from another practitioner through the coMra Community.

Extending your practice by hiring assistants

Treating with coMra therapy is mostly a very straightforward process, it does not require special skills once a certain protocol is decided. You can hire an assistant for the treatments which will allow you to focus only on revising the treatment protocols and monitoring the healing process. In this way, you would be able to schedule more visits per day and to provide coMra treatments while doing your own therapy method.

Providing healing support between visits

As a natural medical, you can offer your client to buy a coMra device and in this way support their healing in between visits. In other words, you will achieve better healing results and also can get additional revenue from their purchases. While so many people are now mainly staying at home, with a coMra device in hand, they will need your advice and support to reach them even online or over the phone. For several years now, when visits in person are not possible due to the world situation, some of our practitioners are actually treating clients even abroad, providing all the instructions by sending messages.

Offering prevention programs and well-being packages

In the sense of maintaining health, coMra is not only a healing tool but is also very useful as a prevention method. As a naturopath, you may offer your existing clients special prevention packages that would improve their health, especially when considering general, seasonal or individual health risk factors. Examples would be heart disease prevention, detox, viral infections prevention, stress relief, etc.

Which coMra product is more effective for professional usage and why?

The answer to that question depends on how you plan to incorporate the coMra treatments in your practice. If your device is to be used in a professional setting, most recommended is coMra Pro 905nm. It is most useful for doing shorter treatment sessions or doing a treatment protocol just 2-3 times a week.

Main

Normally, all treatment protocols require a daily treatment, 30 minutes on average, but they range from 5 minutes to 2 hours depending on the condition. Using coMra Pro allows you to save time because it penetrates deeper and delivers more power directly to the cells. The normal treatment protocols from the User Guide could be shortened, because generally it is targeted to 980 nm or coMra Palm use.

Since it is portable and small, the coMra Palm device allows for easy self-treatment. It is very durable and is not expensive. So, having each space organised with an individual coMra Palm and also some guidelines from a natural medical or an assistant, would allow patients to do self-treatments. This creates a good alternative to a fully assisted treatment. For more information on how to organise this, please contact us.

On the other hand, you may decide to use coMra Palm in your professional services, depending on how your space and patient procedures are organised. For example, coMra Palm works well in a multi-bed environment, where a patient receives guidelines from a doctor and then receives a treatment in a separate individual space.

coMra therapy contraindications

Actually, coMra therapy does not have any contraindications in terms of its use. Some users ask questions whether they can use coMra, for example, for eye diseases, or for various implants, in case of tumours, etc.

Regarding the eye disease, one coMra therapist has collected significant experience with great results for some of the conditions and moderate results for others. The only precaution when treating eyes with coMra is to not use 5 Hz frequency and to always keep the eyes closed before starting the treatment and during the treatment of points located directly on the eye orbit.

Regarding implants, most of the artificial installations like various metal implants, biological tissue inserts, artificial joints, stents, etc., interact well with coMra. It does not interfere with implant acceptance.

However, some patients with artificial valves and pacemakers need to be careful. Pacemakers are very finely tuned devices. Since coMra device has 30 mT static magnetic field, it interferes with some of its finely tuned properties. So, it is recommended to keep the device at all times no closer than 30 centimetres to the pacemaker installation spot.

Regarding tumours many research papers show that low level laser therapy does not stimulate tumour growth. This is especially true for coMra therapy as the type of laser and its wavelength, the way sequence is arranged and the low power of the device, provide a very safe health boost which does not stimulate tumour growth.

coMra therapy case reports

Over the years practitioners and users all around the world have gathered an enormous body of cases, case reports, case report series and etc. However not all of that material is available in any given language or reported in a written form, or permitted to be made public.

Most of the material that was translated into English can be found in a special searchable database available on a coMra website and Youtube. This platform has various facilities that allow coMra users to learn, communicate with other users, find experience on a particular topic, and much more. Besides that you can find some cases in a video form, recorded during various events and published on our YouTube video channel.

coMra support and education

Generally, there is an extensive coMra User Guide that is a very valuable resource. It does explain all the basics and contains 200+ treatments. Studying this User Guide alone will give you an enormous head start into using and practising coMra therapy. Besides what is published, you can always ask for support on a particular topic by writing to us. We will either respond to you right away if we have the information or will find it for you.

coMra community

In addition to all that, once you are a coMra Delta user, a free professional grade education in the form of self-paced video modules will be available for you on the coMra Life platform. And last but not the least, coMra Life platform hosts many users from all around the world. There you can find also practitioners that have multiple years of experience with coMra therapy.

coMra therapy application basics

Just to briefly touch on coMra therapy application basics, we need to mention the approach is quite simple, once you understand it. Applying coMra therapy has a direct impact on cells, up to 10 centimetres deep into the body. That is why applications build on choosed organs, systems that need to be addressed in any particular condition, of course these are the ones which are associated with it.

For example, if it is a headache, then there are points on the head and the blood supply of the head like the carotid artery, and sometimes neck or upper back area. If it is a viral infection, then the circulatory and the lymph systems are treated, using points where arteries are close to the skin surface and have significant blood supply, like carotid arteries, axillary arteries, femoral arteries.

Local and systemic treatments

When it comes to serious diseases, a wide variety of different metabolic processes within our cells and throughout the body are disrupted and impaired. Therefore, in treating long standing or chronic conditions and ailments, greater benefits are provided by a combination of a systemic approach with a local approach. This is why you will be treating:

Placement of the device

The coMra devices are placed directly onto the skin. Positioning of the device over a point as shown on a treatment diagram should be done with a reasonable accuracy and does not require high precision. The Laser beam emitted by the coMra device is divergent and covers an area as wide as the device itself and it goes deeper into the body.

Time and frequency

Using coMra Palm is very safe and doing longer treatments will not harm. We invite you to experiment and see what works best for you. Acute conditions, pain and physical injury can be treated as frequently as 4-5 times per day for the first few days, and frequency of treatments can then be reduced as necessary.

Course of treatments

All the details about the proposed course of treatments, as well as other details, like frequency, points and timing for each particular treatment are listed in the User Guide. The standard course of treatments for many conditions lasts for 2 weeks, however this can be changed or repeated depending on the individual needs. The daily treatments are around 30 minutes per day on average (but may vary from 5 minutes to 2 hours depending on the condition). When using coMra Delta 905nm, for some of the less critical conditions a treatment 2-3 times a week might be applicable as opposed to doing it every day.

Breaks in treatments

It is recommended to have a break in the coMra treatments, usually for 1 to 3 weeks. There are two reasons for that. The first reason is that the effects of coMra therapy accumulate in the body and achieve their actual peak some time after you have finished the treatment course. You will make the recommended break and then you will continue from a new peak in terms of recovery.

The second reason - once you remove coMra support and after giving it for some time, the body becomes even more active in terms of recovery due to this little extra stress coming from the absence of coMra therapy. The application of breaks should be measured which means that it should come only when you note that progress was achieved. If there is no improvement the treatments should continue without the breaks.

How to use coMra Delta

 We have an excellent Starting Video Guide for Delta and Pro users HERE. Besides that a lot of valuable information is in the coMra User Guide, that you can find HERE. Just choose your language in the settings of application. Otherwise, you can also use the mobile application and have it on your phone all the time. Anyway, for practitioners we always provide individual support. Just write to us.

Purchase and warranty

We provide an 18 months warranty for each device. We provide support and service for devices many years after that. Our first generation of devices was made 10 years ago and is mostly still functional and if repair is needed we provide that for a small service fee. You can purchase a device in the global shop on the website where you are now. We deliver fast and free of charge.

There are many factors that determine how long an athlete will stay at the top of their game and will be able to deliver great performances. Genetics, the environment their body and organism were formed in, the method of training and regeneration, diet and several others play a role. In this article, I have focused only on the factors that can be reliably influenced by coMra-Therapy. Let’s take a look…

Fatigue and depletion of energy reserves

When it comes to over-training, every athlete who works hard on themselves and tries to constantly improve is balancing on a very thin edge. We will not rest until we see that we’re better, faster, stronger and have more endurance. And once we achieve those, we want to go even further. It frequently happens that we don’t give our bodies enough time or space to breathe and draw new life force. Stress and fatigue accumulate, and the body’s regeneration processes slow down. This poorly chosen path only leads to further injury or to illness caused by seasonal viruses because our bodies have deficient immunity.
CoMra therapy accelerates regeneration, recharges the body’s energy reserves and thus reduces the risks due to over-training. To put it simply, thanks to the regular use of coMra in their routine, athletes recover faster and can train more often. In addition, coMra also supports the normal function of the immune system and helps the body to defend against pathogens.

Ageing and slowing down the regeneration process

“It’s not what it used to be …” We’ve all heard this, and we may have even said it. I myself am convinced that a slowdown of the body’s regeneration due to ageing isn’t caused by physiological changes alone. Lifestyle is also to blame. When you are young, you can focus mainly on yourself and your own interests but age brings other responsibilities. At one point, you begin to invest a great deal of energy into areas of life that previously didn’t bother you. As the years go by, the body’s ability to regenerate gradually decreases; it is a natural process taking place at a cellular level. A combination of these factors leads to an increase in the amount of time required for the body to recover after exercise. A few hours or a day isn’t enough to regenerate any more. Suddenly, you need two, three and often more days at a time to be able to deliver top performance again.

The fuel of all processes in the body, including regenerative processes, is ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is produced and stored in our cells (specifically in mitochondria). The higher the levels of ATP in our cells, the better our bodies are able to function and defend themselves. Therefore, coMra with its four components effectively stimulates the creation of ATP in mitochondria. As a result, cells are able to restore their function much faster and then all of the regenerative or defensive systems and mechanisms in the body function optimally.

Chronic injuries

Sports with a focus on top performance may not always be healthy for the body. Even recreational athletes know that injuries appearing here and there simply persist, do not subside and sometimes have the tendency to reoccur. This is the reason why many people end their sports careers for good or in better cases they change disciplines but give up their dreams of peak performance.

Actually, coMra has a very successful case history in the treatment of long-term and persistent chronic injuries. Its primary added value in this regard is in the support of the tissue regeneration through a holistic approach. In practice, this means that in addition to the direct treatment of the wound site, regeneration can be accelerated by supporting the optimal function of the body’s control systems involved in the regeneration process. Additionally, coMra can be applied to stimulate the lymphatic or nervous system in combination with the treatment of selected organs, such as the heart or adrenal glands. This stimulates and intensifies the process of tissue regeneration and initiates the treatment of persistent injuries and problems.

Regenerating nerve fibers after injury

A frequent reason why professional athletes end their careers early is the accumulation of untreated injuries. This is due, for example, to a sped-up return to activity after an injury. Unfortunately, it usually happens because an athlete feels good and, at first glance, has no external signs of injury after rehabilitation (such as pain and other discomfort during exercise). But many delicate processes in the body have not yet been completely restored. These are mainly processes that are taken care of by delicate tissues such as nerve fibers. With tissue injuries, such as a ruptured ligament, nerve signalling disorders – the process of transmitting information from the brain to the body and back – can also occur. Interrupting the flow of information between the locomotor system and the brain can lead to cognitive dysfunction. In simple words, this may negatively affect the speed and fluidity of the musculoskeletal system response. Unlike muscle fibers, tendons or bones, nerve fibers regenerate much more slowly and the time it takes to fully recover is much longer.

Impairment of cognitive functions as a result of injuries to the musculoskeletal system do not usually pose a great danger for people in everyday life. But for professional athletes in a competitive environment, where everything often takes place within hundredths of a second, the situation is different. All it takes is one slower reaction and the original injury is renewed or a completely new one occurs. It is therefore not out of the ordinary for athletes go from one injury to the next and to practically never be able to recover fully.

In a very gentle and effective way, coMra supports the natural healing process in every cell of the body and also contributes to the accelerated recovery of damaged nerve fibers. Thanks to coMra, not only can an athlete speed up their return to activity after an injury, but at the same time they can ensure a high-quality recovery. All of that while lowering the risk of an incomplete healing of nerve fibers and a restored cognitive function of the musculoskeletal system.

Pain

Pain is an everyday part of athletes’ lives. Top-level performances in top-level sport simply hurt. Many athletes turn to painkillers to deal with the pain. It’s quite common for athletes to take analgesics before a match, race or competition just to prevent any pain that might put them out of the action. As a result of long-term abuse of analgesics, internal organs are damaged (liver, kidneys, heart) and athletes are shut out of active competition.

In that sense, coMra can be used both for the control of acute pain (rapid analgesic effect) and for the treatment of chronic pain. The application of coMra in cases of acute pain leads from partial to complete relief, and the repeated application of coMra can keep pain under control. At the same time, some of the comprehensive coMra treatment protocols can be begun (according to the type and origin of the pain) to support and stimulate natural healing processes and to treat injuries and infections. While coMra is non-invasive and gentle on the body it can be a good alternative to the various pain pills.

Mental balance

For athletes, psychology plays a huge part. It can turn around the best-played match or help the greatest outsider win a race. This is why nearly every top athlete nowadays has their own personal psychologist or life coach. The goal is to get to the optimal mental state to deliver maximum performance, to manage pre-start stress and jitters as well as to maintain mental balance during the long months of preparation. Even if you can’t afford to hire a personal sports psychologist, there’s still hope …

Applying coMra therapy will help you to induce a state of calm and mental composure thus overcoming feelings of anxiety and pre-start jitters. There’s nothing miraculous about it. Stress is the body’s reaction to a person’s emotional state, in which the stress hormones cortisol and adrenaline flood the body. Our bodies react to situations that the brain perceives of as dangerous. Thanks to cortisol and adrenaline, the body awakens our hidden energy reserves and prepares to deal with situations that require either fight or flight. This state is influenced by various emotional perceptions. It can be very beneficial to use coMra in these situations because it will harmonize the hormone levels in the body and thus will contribute to the induction of a state of inner calm and mental balance.

To start using coMra, first search your health issue in the coMra User Guide. If you can find it, start applying the relevant to it treatment protocol. If you do not find it, start with coMra Universal 3 and coMra Universal 5 protocols. If you have questions and need support by an expert, please contact us..

I have suffered with depression and recurrent depressive episodes at varying levels – some severe enough to require hospitalisation, since 1996.

Guest Post by Mariette Lobo. Story is provided by one of the clients of Body in Balance Clinic (UK)

I have been subject to being prescribed different medications:

Sertraline, Semi-sodium Valproate, Venlefaxine to name just a few; others had disastrous results and some had better conclusions. I have battled with changes in medications, dosage and therapy changes that have left me and my partner confused and worried about the possible outcomes.

I have experienced side effects that left me feeling numb, lethargic and struggling to continue with treatments and, in some of my darkest times, to continue with life itself. On one occasion, the drugs set off vivid dreams that were difficult to dissociate with reality; these side effects were intolerable.

Even with medication... I could not manage to work at all.

In these early years there were months of difficulties to get the right dose and the right medications. The ongoing difficulties I encountered in having to do this, made life a struggle and I felt humiliated that I should need these interventions. The stigma around mental health illness battered my own confidence beyond compare; it was difficult to go to work and feel I was being productive. In later years, even with medication, my depression and anxiety, around my symptoms, meant I could not manage to work at all.

Without the continuing support of my partner and a family member, I am uncertain how I would manage at all.

I have had years of so many appointments with GPs, mental health specialists, CPNs, OTs, and CBT counselling. Helpful and necessary at the time but, none of which have had any continuing positive results.

At present, I now take a ‘maintenance dose’ that mostly keeps me relatively stable, however I still have dips in my mood and depressive episodes. Medication reviews with the NHS are non-existent and, without the continuing support of my partner and a family member, I am uncertain how I would manage at all.

The light at the end of the tunnel, in all of this, has been coMra therapy.

I had never heard of it but my partner had amazing success with this treatment for L2/3/4 facet joint and ligamenta hypertrophy. She had suffered debilitating and excruciating pain even with prescribed medication.

She suggested, with consultation and advice from Mariette, that I could try an individualized therapy protocol using the coMra approach and guide.

I was sceptical to say the least,

even though I had seen how coMra therapy had worked, and continues to work, for her. As I was experiencing very low mood with no motivation or inclination to help myself, I agreed to try it.

Universal 5 was administered twice daily for 7 days but I noticed a difference in my general well-being and motivation after about three days.

To be honest it was incredible.

I have since found that I have more energy and feel I can concentrate better.

My sleep pattern has balanced out, I have been able to complete, and even enjoy, tasks that previously were beyond me. My DIY at home list is being ticked off! I feel more self-assured and have the confidence to carry out these tasks - to my relief and satisfaction. I feel less dejected and that there is, at last, some hope as the treatments can continue.

So far, so good.

I would like to be able to be medication free eventually, but am realistic and know this is going to need professional medical supervision. I am going to discuss this with my GP as I feel this therapy would be so helpful to others like me, who suffer from unbearable and incapacitating bouts of depression. It has been a revelation to me for certain.
