God led me to holding my head down throught the day for Chiari relief

I had Chiari decompression surgery in January of 2016...this save my life, but was still not able to get of the bed.  Had filum terminale surgery (form of tethered cord surgery) in Barcelona, Spain in July of 2016 and it provided more improvement but I still could not get out of the bed.  Well, Jesus says to "lay hands on the sick".  He doesn't say who is authorized to lay hands, he just commands us to do it.  So in August of 2017, I had my 7 year old son, my 12 year old daughter and my wife lay hands on me.  This led to two things: 1) standing with my head against a door and pulling my chin down (kyphosis therapy)...this led to relief of most of my cervical instability symptoms and many of my Chiari symptoms; 2) putting my head down (as if in prayer) while kneeling on the floor and/or standing but leaning down and reading a book.  Within the first two weeks my central and obstructive apnea was almost non-existent, my "brain fog" that we Chiarians have disappeared, breathing improved, constipation and urinating problems went totally away, numbness in my foot and leg disappeared, tachycardia is gone, hand-writing has improved, cognition is back to normal (my wife would argue), and I generally feel "well".  I now actually have 4 or more days a week with restorative 7+ hours of sleep.  I have now been 90% out of the bed since the laying of the hands miracle: back to raising my two kids, attending church, grocery shopping, cooking meals, selling stuff on Ebay, attending school events, fishing, doing our taxes, and etc.  Jesus didn't give me a fish, he taught me how to fish...so now I am going to start spreading the word/Word.  Simple inversion therapy and kyphosis therapy.  Hope I can help someone who reads this.  If it works for you, spread the word.
