"I’ve been Blocking for almost a year now - I started Blocking January of this year. How I started Blocking was I went and visited my daughter, and she had been talking to me about how she was doing Block Therapy with my grandson - little Zenon - because Zenon had scoliosis. She had sent me pictures showing Zenon’s improvements, and in the pictures I could really see that there was significant improvement happening in little Zenon. When I got there, I saw an incredible light in my daughter’s eyes again. My daughter was always the one who when she would smile her eyes would smile first. I saw that glow again in her eyes, and her skin was so improved and I just thought, wow, there has got to be something positive happening with this Block Therapy. By the time the weekend was done - we spent the weekend there - I got into the car with my husband and I said “this Block Therapy is something that I really feel I need to try.” As much as there was an improvement in Zenon, I think it was the improvement in my daughter that really gave me the need, the want, the desire, to try this. I thought, what do I have to lose?

I started Blocking with the Starter Program, and I would say about 3 or 4 days into Blocking I started feeling like I was getting a lot of this clear, thick mucus coming out and at first I thought it was just a coincidence. However, every time I Blocked I would get this really thick mucus coming out, so I thought it’s got to be all this stuff that is inside me that needs to come out. Not too long after that, probably a couple of weeks in, I started being able to smell. I have sinus polyps. I’ve had 4 surgeries and I was due for my 5th surgery to remove the polyps. It creates a lot of inflammation, so when it gets very aggravated I don’t smell or taste anything. I started smelling and tasting and I thought, this is a little weird that a week in I am already feeling this change. I continued Blocking twice a day every day. I just thought the more that I Block, the faster this is going to work and I am going to get better! About a month after that I had to go and see my sinus specialist because we were going to book my next surgery. When I went he did a scope to see what he would need to do. When he put the scope in he said “what have you been doing?!” The only thing I had been doing differently was Block Therapy. I started explaining to him what Block Therapy was about. He said he had to research it because he is very interested in it. He said “whatever you are doing, keep doing it - I am postponing the surgery and I want to see you again in a month.” I went back a month later after still Blocking daily and I went to see him and he did a scope again and at this point I had no more polyps or inflammation. He cancelled surgery and told me to keep doing what I was doing because it was obviously working. I was of course very excited and went home and continued Blocking.

After that I was starting to get some improvement in my asthma. I have eosinophilic asthma and I could even feel my asthma getting better. Every time I put the Blocks on my ribs, I would still get that gunky, clear, sticky mucus stuff coming out. I just knew - I was sold and I knew at this point that Block Therapy was going to be a daily part of my life.

I’ve had chronic pain for many, many years. I’ve had a hysterectomy and that turned into a bladder condition called interstitial cystitis, pelvic floor myalgia, a lot of big words to say just a lot of chronic pain in the pelvic and back area. I started doing the women’s program to try and help that part of the pain. Not too far into the women’s program there is a skit where Deanna does a meditation. I have always struggled to meditate because my mind is always going everywhere and I can’t focus and just stay relaxed and calm because I have so much anxiety. I started doing the meditation and it was just a profound experience. I was meditating and I had my hands on my stomach - I have had a few incisions on my lower stomach - and where the incision is ropey and hard. It’s a part of my body that I don’t touch unless I absolutely have to because of appearance and I guess all the feelings and memories attached to it. Deanna was saying to just let your hands relax and sink into your body. As I was doing that - it was almost like a movie was happening in my head and I was reliving my childhood. I felt so calm and I felt such a relief. It almost felt like God’s hands were on my hands creating a healing. It was so beautiful and so profound. I wasn’t scared, that is the part that I couldn’t understand. I felt like I should be scared and want to stop it. I just continued in this peaceful and beautiful space - space that I had not been able to reach even with therapy. I had never been able to get to that space in my body, in my mind, in my heart and in my soul - and it just felt so good.

So I continued with Block Therapy, even more excited, thinking this was going to create profound changes in my life and in my body. I was involved in a car accident about 7 years ago. This car accident caused some brain injuries and also memory issues amongst a lot of other things. It had caused a meniscus tear in my left knee and had kind of dislocated my right knee. For the last 5 years before starting to Block I was going every 3 or 4 months for injections in my knees, trying to not have a complete knee replacement because that was the next step. The specialist said that I would be needing a knee replacement in my right knee and to repair the meniscus tear in my left knee. Of course, I’m in my mid 50s and not wanting to go through knee replacement surgery. At this point I just kept focusing on Block Therapy, starting with my feet because my feet were so painful. As soon as I would try to walk the pain in my feet was so intense. I love walking and I wasn’t able to walk. My last knee injection in both knees was in February. I started Blocking in January - and I never went back for another knee injection. My knees are so much better. I can walk. The pain in my feet, I have to say, is almost gone. I only get pain in my feet when I’ve been walking a lot or standing a lot. But I truly believe that continuing to Block and this journey is going to bring me to complete healing - I truly believe that.

Anyone that knows Deanna knows that she is so committed, she is just so helpful. I don’t know how she does it but she is there for you - she’s there for everybody! You hear it all the time through the Block Therapy community how she is so present, so willing and wanting to help us all. I think thats part of the healing also - you know that you’re never alone. Not only do you have Deanna and Quinn and all the people who help her, you know that somebody will be there if you need it. The Block Therapy community - oh my! I’ve been doing the 90 Day Challenge, this is my 2nd go through, and we’ve been doing Zoom meetings once a week. They are so encouraging. Not only is it that we are learning what to do and how to do it, but we are also there for one another. One of the times there was a woman struggling and I could feel her pain. I’m not one for talking, this is huge for me right now, but I unmuted my button and shared with her how positive thoughts were such a big component of Block Therapy to complete the healing. It is an amazing community and you can’t ask for better than Deanna and her help and her support. Thank you Deanna."
