A Child with Tactile Defense Symptoms
“While working on career issues with Judith, I discovered that she also works with children. For many years, my 6-year old daughter refused to wear socks and underwear, could not tolerate sitting in a car seat, and was prone to headaches. At the age of 4, she was diagnosed as tactile defensive, meaning that she couldn’t tolerate being touched. After 2 years of sensory integration therapy, a form of occupational therapy, she had not improved and we were resigned to living with these symptoms.

After just one session with Judith, in which we treated my daughter for birth trauma, she now wears her socks and underwear and puts her seatbelt on in the car. She hasn’t complained of any headaches in the two months since we treated her! I’m still amazed at how ‘no big deal’ this is now. I also brought my 8 -year old daughter to Judith just prior to having two baby-teeth pulled, and she breezed through her dental appointment with no anxiety. Anytime my children have a problem, I’m bringing them to Judith. From one mother to another, thank you.”

Brain Injury
“It is a pleasure to report the results of the healing intervention on my brain over the period of one year. Since we last met, I have successfully completed a quantitative dissertation where I performed the statistical analysis. Prior to your work on healing my brain injury I barely had the capacity for simple mathematical equations. I was sure that I would be unable to perform the statistical computations without assistance.

I find that I feel neurologically balanced and am better at discerning patterns, including, but not limited, to numbers and sequencing. This is the greatest gift, for it opens channels in my life that were previously unavailable. Your skill is amazing and I cannot thank you enough for this exquisite healing.”

Diagnosis Shock
“I can’t tell you how fantastic this protocol has been with the members of the Toronto Gilda’s Club (a cancer support group). Many of them had been holding sorrow for over 20 years after their cancer diagnosis. And I’ve been able to help many others:

* person devastated by a sibling’s cancer diagnosis (She was so devastated that she initially couldn’t be helpful.)

* person devastated by the words in a not too terrible diagnosis (Although the diagnosis was not that terrible, some of the words in the medical diagnosis were horrible sounding and causing her to have nightmares.)

* famous musician who hurt his hand shovelling snow (You can imagine how angry he was at himself, which was holding in the injury. I didn’t work on the injury till after we did this protocol, and most of the injury disappeared.)

I am so please that your paper has now been published… so I can share it. Thanks for this work.”

Childhood Trauma
“As I approach the end of my bi-weekly sessions with you, I am compelled to write to you and thank you for restoring my confidence in therapy. My very first session with you was a godsend. I only spent an hour and a half in your office but immediately afterward, I was able to share with my close friends the “secrets’ of my childhood. “Secrets” that I had carried with me for over 40 years. From that session on, I knew I was hooked. You made me feel in 1 ½ hours better than I had felt after 2 years of weekly therapy sessions.

During my 2 years of “normal” therapy, I truthfully felt that I was not getting anywhere. I certainly did not feel that I was being healed! Your techniques and methods are far superior than the ones practiced by mainstream therapists. Hooray for you!!

I highly recommend you to anyone who is seriously committed to healing themselves. It takes a lot of work and personal commitment but it is well worth it.

Once again, thanks for your support, help and commitment. It has made the process easier and more fulfilling. The rest is now up to me.”

Car Accident – Whiplash Injury, Chronic Pain
“Next month will be the one year anniversary of my ability to resume a normal life thanks to your miraculous treatment for unlocking my physical disability resulting from a serious car accident. I was hit from behind at 60 miles an hour and sustained severe whiplash, low back trauma and TMJ. After a year of being unable to work, I was only able to return part time because of the physical limitations and the amount of time I spent pursuing treatment. After 2 years of all kinds of medical, alternative and counseling treatments and therapies, the improvement in my neck and back was slight with next to no improvement in my jaw (I could only open my mouth 2.8cm). After 45 minutes of working with you, all the pain released and to my amazement, my jaw unlocked for the first time in almost three years and I immediately felt some relief in my lower back and neck. As of this writing, I am now able to open my mouth wide enough to eat a large sandwich. I no longer need the dental appliance, muscle spasms have decreased significantly, and my chiropractor and dentist were truly impressed. My life is happier, brighter and a much more enjoyable place to be.”

Car Accident – Whiplash Injury, Chronic Pain
“I must share with you the results of last week’s session. Not only did we work through and past the trauma of the auto accident with new learning coming up for me but there was a most interesting physical result. Since the day of the accident, I had server neck and back pain caused by the whiplash injury. I had been seeing a chiropractor daily with little results. He told me that my muscles were in sever spasm and that I would have to have an MRI this week. I was totally unable to move my neck in either direction. Well, you can probably guess what happened. The muscle spasms ended a couple of hours after our session. I thought that it would be temporary but it was not. I would never have believed that the work we did could have such dramatic results. Thank you.”

Car Accident – Pain and Limited Range of Motion
“I first came to Judith in 1991 because of the pain I was experiencing from a serious car accident in 1989. I had had 2 years of chiropractic (2-3 times a week); 6 months of weekly myotherapy; 3 months of yoga therapy (2 times a week); a consultation/exam from an orthopedic surgeon who suggested pain medication for the rest of my life; and several visits to a neurologist who said I would never have full range of motion on the right side again. After all of this, I was still in terrible pain that impeded by ability to live a normal life. I was unable to walk for more than 30 minutes at a time. I was unable to drive for more than 30 minutes…unable to drive or ride in a car without fear and anxiety that someone would hit me again from the right side. I was unable to carry groceries or anything heavy, to hold a large textbook while reading, unable tot find a comfortable position while sitting or standing.

After our first session, I noticed immediately upon driving home that I was more comfortable. I also noticed when a car approached me from the right side that I did not jump, lose my breath and panic that it was going to hit me. After the second session, I noticed that I was completely calm while driving. I noticed that I was physically more comfortable. My chiropractor reported that my body felt and responded differently to her adjustments.

The big test was a trip to a conference in Sweden. I am happy to say that I was pain-free the entire 15 days. This is amazing, considering what it entailed: we flew to Brussels and caught a train north – changing trains in each major city until we reached Orebor 48 hours later; after the conference, we took a train to Madrid – another 48 hours of travel and 4 changes; five days later we returned to Brussels with 3 changes. Then, we boarded the plane home. I want to thank you for introducing me to these techniques and for five mostly pain-free years!”

Repetitive Strain Injury
“Working with Dr. Swack, I have had major breakthroughs in every domain of my life — physical, emotional, psychological, relational, and spiritual. Her techniques have been overwhelmingly effective in solving problems regardless of where they are rooted. There is no limit to Dr. Swack’s powers. She stupefied all the medical experts when she healed my severely stubborn back injury with just two minutes of hands-on work. Having tried many healing techniques, I know of nothing out there that even comes close to the effectiveness of Dr. Swack. As a scientist and healer, she brings a unique rigor to her practice that will not settle for sort of, kind of, or maybe. This results-oriented approach is what we need in the fast-paced world of the 90’s.”

Sports Injury – Olympic Athlete
“Ten weeks before the 92 Winter Olympic Games I was training in Tignes, France. I skied down the mogul course and on the first jump my ski pre-released and hit my left calf, splitting it open. A French doctor stitched up my leg and said I may never get feeling back in that area since there was severe nerve damage. Back in the States, I saw our ski team doctor who told me ‘if after one year I didn’t have feeling then it would never come back.’ By late November of ’93, one year later, there was a little improvement. I’d probably lost 90% of the feeling and at this time I had approximately 30%. I was pleased with the improvement but disappointed more hadn’t come back. I continued to weight-train and massage it in hopes the doctor was mistaken.

I went to a weekend workshop of Judith’s in Los Angeles and worked on healing the trauma of my calf injury. I immediately felt “electrical currents” running up and down my leg. Three years and two months after my injury, I was having sensitivity and feelings where there were none! I believe my calf is at about 75% recovery of feeling!”
