Today I've been researching just what our neighbors to the north are doing and they're doing a lot! Not only do they have a well-developed support network, but they're promoting research, too.
In http://www.fm-cfs.ca/Trillium-Cover.pdf they demonstrate some astounding information. When I think of it in terms of what I've learned in my study of ELT, it makes complete sense.
The basis of the ELT (Essential Life Therapy) protocol is working with and fixing the damage caused by trauma. Now that damage can be from physical, emotional, energetic or spiritual causes. It truly doesn't matter.
When the body is damaged and not functioning properly, expect trouble unless you find a way to un-do the original problem-causing trauma.
The Canadian revelation/ research study proposes that a protein has been discovered that causes debilitating and escalating body pain. That's really interesting!

Chronic pain is caused by nerve damage brought on my injury or illnesses.
What Drs. Salter and De Koninck propose to do is focus on the research of developing "drugs that will target the class of cells responsible for the chronic pain."
On first glance, that sounds great. Another drug to treat pain! However, treatment after the fact is a BandAid approach because they're not solving the problem, just applying a temporary fix (unless there is something within this approach that is not evident and the drug causes a permanent change in the body to eliminate this protein, thus stopping the escalating pain cycle.)
If you can find permanent solutions (or fixable causes) to this type of horrible problem-- Chronic Pain-- oh, how much better off you and everyone else will be in the long run.
I wish these good researchers much success in their endeavors. Maybe they will find the "cause" and will fix that, too!
