ello, my name is James Davidovich, creator of the Active Healing method of self-healing. I call it “Active” because you are in control of the techniques, as opposed to passive systems where someone else applies the treatment(s) to you.

What drove me to search for healing methods that worked?

S

ince my late teens, I have been searching for answers — answers to fundamental questions of life. These include: “Why do we get sick, suffer pain, grow old and die? Are these things inevitable or can we do something about it? Is there a greater power in existence that can guide and heal us or are we alone?” — You get the picture! These questions were prompted by my own struggle with debilitating physical conditions for which I found little or no help from traditional and even some non-traditional medicine and therapies.

Excruciating pain, stiffness everywhere, very poor eyesight and other symptoms affected every area of my life. The term ‘fibromyalgia’ had not been invented yet and the answer to poor eyesight was always, of course, stronger and stronger glasses.

In my Quest, I have researched and tried reflexology, yoga, acupuncture, transcendental meditation, positive thinking & affirmations, psychology, philosophy, religion, mysticism and just about anything that I felt might help me find the answers I was seeking. Although I found some of these to be helpful and inspiring, none gave me the practical techniques that would alleviate my physical conditions.

With persistence however, and guided by my ‘dreams’ and Higher Self, I have found a way to alleviate and reverse many chronic conditions such as fibromyalgia, poor eyesight and back problems to mention only a few. I have compiled everything I learned (and more) and I am now offering it to you in my ebook Active Healing and Body Restoration.

In the Beginning — My battle with Rheumatism/Fibromyalgia

M

y story begins in childhood, at about the age of 6. I still have vivid memories of severe leg pains and cramps and my mother’s attempts to alleviate the pain with rubbing alcohol and massage. The cause of the pain was never determined, even though my condition became progressively worse until, by the end of my high school years, it had spread to my feet, ankles, wrists, forearms and other areas. During the day, as long as I was up and moving around, I didn't notice it so much. At night and in the morning, the pain was unbearable, causing me to toss and turn at night and making it extremely difficult to get up in the morning. Often, the pain would be accompanied by cramps in my feet and the muscles of the lower parts of my legs. Tossing and turning did not help. Massaging the afflicted areas helped somewhat but only temporarily. Of course, some days were worse than others, depending on my emotional state and climatic conditions!

Since finishing high school, I ran the gamut of treatments ranging from physiotherapy to acupuncture — including vitamin therapy, special physical exercises, chiropractics and meditation. I even tried wading in a special ‘healing’ pond, to which bus loads of people would come all year round hoping to find relief from arthritis, rheumatism, back problems etc. Needless to say, I was disappointed since none of the treatments that I tried gave any lasting relief.

What led me to the answers I was looking for was a constant, firm belief — and many would say a naive belief — that I have cultivated since my youth: that All Things Are Possible. I am fifty-eight now and still have that belief — even more now since I have done what medical doctors have told me “can't be done”. I found a way to stop, even to reverse, the process that the physical body undergoes that gives rise to various painful conditions such as rheumatism/fibromyalgia! By understanding this process, then reversing it using the techniques outlined in my system that I have termed Active Healing, first the pain then the condition disappears!

This discovery did not happen overnight — it took me years of experimenting, trial and error, research and trying out other methods of treatment before I figured out a system that works! I felt like Colin Wilson’s The Outsider, having strayed off society’s beaten path, with no mentors to follow, exploring new territory with no precedent that I knew of.

Eyesight Improvement — Against All Odds

L

ike a lot of children during the trying, early teenage years, eye tests showed that I needed glasses. That is — if I wanted to make out what the teacher was writing on the board (green, black, whatever!), without sitting at the front of the class and ‘squinting’!

At first, not to be too embarrased, I only wore them in class. When I entered high school the following year, I started wearing them almost all of the time since my eyesight was getting worse and I could see everything better with them on. My mistake! (Why wasn't I warned?) My eyesight got worse and worse until, by my final year of high school I was clinically blind (I couldn't make out the biggest letter on the eye chart, even from ten feet away). My glasses were as thick as my eyes were bad!

It was at this time that I began to wonder whether it was possible to improve one’s vision. The following search led me to a book by a pioneer in vision improvement: Better Eyesight Without Glasses by Dr. Bates (his well-respected system of vision improvement is now known as the Bates Method, taught by many vision improvement teachers).

Try and try as I might though, I just couldn’t get it! My vision improved only marginally over the next few years. Even after discarding my glasses for a full year (and walking around half blind), my vision still improved only marginally. I read other books which helped somewhat with a slightly different perspective, but my overall vision improved only slightly. Then a breakthrough occurred — by relaxing my whole body and not just the area around my eyes, about a half hour each day with soothing music in the background — noticeable improvement occurred over the next couple of years to the extent that I was prescribed weaker glasses! (my eye doctor would not acknowledge that it was through my own efforts that my vision had improved — he explained it as my eyes had changed shape!)

Still, although my glasses were only half the strength as when I started my quest, I still did not achieve my goal — perfect vision without glasses. A major breakthrough occurred, however, when I started applying my Active Healing techniques (which were being developed throughout this time). I noticed that structural changes in other areas of my body brought about more permanent improved vision! And without using difficult to understand vision improvement techniques! Actually, my understanding of how the eyes work and how vision can be improved vastly increased. I rarely wear glasses now (only for night driving) and my vision continues to improve as I get older (it’s usually the other way around for most people!). I have the knowledge that my vision will never get worse because of my understanding of how the eyes work and how poor vision is related to other conditions of the body.
