WHY THIS WEB SITE EXISTS?
On February 28, 1992, I, Gregory Mann was assaulted with a baseball bat after I stopped a possible assault against a young woman. Initially, I was completely paralyzed on my left side and I couldn't talk. My left hand is still paralyzed and the allopathic medical community is not prepared to help me with reversing my paralysis, or doesn’t believe it is possible. The allopathic community is prepared to turn me into a prescription drug user, however.

FAMILY INFORMATION
Only my mother is living. She retired from AAA Michigan automobile insurance company on 12/31/00. My father, LeRoy, died of lung cancer in l994. Abuse has been a theme in my family. My mother was abused physically and emotionally by my father, and might have left the marriage, but was advised that she could not get a divorce in the Catholic Church. My sister, Susan found herself in an extremely abusive marriage and suffered the ultimate abuse, the loss of her life, at the hands of her husband on 2/28/87. While I am not an abuser, I did not emerge from a childhood spent in this milieu, unscathed. Although I am certain my parents loved me when I was growing up, I just never seemed to have felt it inside.

MARITAL STATUS
Single. I had a girlfiend for three months in the summer of 1985. Women just don't like me. I'm honest, don't lie well, and don't have any money. That's a bad combination. My dream is a long term relationship; not marriage.

|
EMPLOYMENT INFORMATION
I haven't held a regular job since being assaulted. Unfortunately, even if I was able to hold down a 40-hour-a-week job, I wouldn’t earn enough to support myself and pay for my healing.
My ultimate goal is to start an investment business (please see the CAN YOU HELP? link page) for the purpose of funding a foundation and a political action committee.

EDUCATION
I graduated from Melvindale High School in 1980 and Michigan State University (B.A. in marketing) in 1985.

DRUG USE HISTORY
As of November 4,1995, I made a commitment to stop using all drug substances. Intially, I started with prescription drugs, alcohol,and all forms of cocaine. I had been using alcohol, marijuana, and cocaine since I was about 16, (1978). I had engaged in episodic-recreational substance use up until I made this commitment. I still consume some caffeinated beverages (virtually no soda pop and I used to drink Coca-Cola like I now drink water).

CURRENT TREATMENT REGIMEN
Each month I am seeing a craniosacral therapist once or twice (could use every week, but cannot afford it) and a colonic therapist twice. Also, I see a standard massage therapist twice a month. This keeps my tension in check. The paralysis doesn't get better but it doesn't get worse, which it would without these therapies. Physical therapy has been useless in reversing the paralysis.
I believe my paralysis is reversible, (please see the PARALYSIS REVERSAL PLAN link page for more detailed information). The focus of the allopathic driven health care system is not health creation; it is disease identification and disease management. This focus should be changed to include reversal/healing options such as I am seeking, which may require alternative therapies.

WHY DIDN'T YOUR PREVIOUS VISIT TO THE FLORIDA BASED UPLEDGER INSTITUTE REVERSE THE PARALYSIS?
I was treated at the Upledger Institute in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, for two weeks in January, l997. I didn't know anything about tension-repressed feelings at that time. After craniosacral treatments, my tension was gone, and with it the paralysis of my left hand. but not the feelings it had been repressing. I went home, started to go into a primal-type rebirthing process, which scared me to violence, and I assaulted my mom's dishwasher. I didn't know then, as I do now, that healing requires an integration of repressed feelings (this is what primal therapy is about). If I had had a primal therapist to guide me through this event, I believe my paralysis reversal would have been permanent. As it was, the paralysis returned to my left hand following my outburst after I returned home.
I believe I have had tension-repressed feelings since birth, and that they are a block to healing the paralysis in my left hand, which occurred as a result of my injury. I was born breech, after my mom was given an epidural saddle block, which I believe has something to do with the tension-repressed feelings. I believe that having access to the skills of qualified primal therapists for emotional stabilization and integration immediately after intensive craniosacral therapy is critical to my healing process.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO IN THE FUTURE?
I would like to do the reversal process and write about it. Please see the PARALYSIS REVERSAL PLAN link page. I want to give speeches and form a political action committee for the purpose of increasing access to alternative medical therapies before the United States has over 50% of its population with chronic health problems. Please see the VIDEO CLIP & COMMENTARY link page. I really believe that the health care system can create health not just manage disease.

WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH THE ALLOPATHIC DRIVEN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM?
The concept that drugs are connected to health. I believe the truth is that drugs can manage existing conditions, but that drugs don't have anything to do with creating health. This doesn't mean that no one should use drugs. Drugs are not evil in and of themselves. It simply means that drugs are overused, in my opinion, and that many medical problems can be managed better when the patient’s overall health is not compromised from the use of drugs.
