My story: From invalid and severe pain to a full and active life with a passion to help others.

What Pain in the Neck? Resolving Suffering

Ruth Elder

In this podcast episode, Ruth’s son Andreas Elder takes over as the host to ask his mother some questions about her story; her background, why she is worth listening to, and what she has to offer. He starts off by asking why it’s worth listening to what she has to say.

• Her main reason for doing this podcast is wanting to help people.

• She has herself suffered greatly and found a solution to it. She was practically an invalid her whole life up until age 21, and nobody could find out what was wrong. She kept going to doctors, including chiropractors, and not finding any answers. And then, she finally found something that started a healing process that has continued for 29 years.

• Since 1994 she has seen hundreds and probably thousands of people that have had the same story. They've suffered greatly. It's been complicated; it's been chronic.

• In 1994 Ruth got a job for the Blair Upper Cervical Doctor who took care of her; Dr. R. Weldon Muncy. Her main duty was taking notes and assisting him in the room. It's like the Hamilton song “In The Room Where It Happened”. She was in the room where a lot of healing happened, and a lot of stories were told, and a lot of discussions happened.

• She has seen hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people come in sick, suffering in despair. Then at some point, they are starting to heal, and she heard their stories. She listened to the discussions that they would speak in confidence with their doctor, kind of be a fly on the wall.

• As part of her role as a support worker for top leaders in the Blair Upper Cervical Chiropractic profession, Ruth has also had opportunities to observe and listen to lots of lectures and conversations between Doctors.

• Ruth tells her story of suffering from sinus infections, pneumonia, bronchitis, low back pain, neck pain, chronic severe headaches, constant neck pain, blurred vision, hives, pain in the shoulder blades and so much more.

• Due to the severity of her injuries, Ruth was told that she had permanent damage and needed lifetime maintenance care. She has been an extremely complicated patient and this has taught her to be a support for other people with chronic, complicated conditions and help her husband Dr. Gordon Elder, to be a better doctor.
