Ever since the article about Eric Bertrand appeared in the Ottawa Sun I have been getting new clients suffering from all sorts of chronic problems.
And these people have tried everything, at least everything traditional medicine has offered them. From leg pains (of course) to unexplained fatigue, to the truly extreme such as throat and tongue swelling.
With all our high-tech machines and tests, no rock has been left unturned, or so it seems. In many of these people’s situations, the exasperated docs have told them to learn to live with it, or, and I love this one, attend a “pain clinic” where you learn to accept your pain.
Now I realize what we do at Awakening Potentials is considered alternative health care, but in actual fact common sense isn’t that alternative. There is a new part of modern health care called Functional Medicine. This is where you take into account a persons genetic susceptibility, environmental exposures, and unhealthy lifestyles.
Of course, anything new, even in medicine quickly comes under attack and so progress takes a long time to evolve and overcome these obstacles. Makes me think of the Bishops in Rome who refused to look through Galileo`s telescope because their religious dogma said that the Earth was the centre of the Universe. Did you know that it took the Catholic Church 400 years to issue an apology to Galileo? It is true.
Let’s hope it doesn’t take that long before energy medicine and functional medicine become common place and the people at “quack watch” are assigned to the dustbins of history.
Tony Brunelle
Common sense to me means to go with what works.
I first met Dr. Tony Brunelle ten years ago when I had a migraine headache which lasted for 4 months and the range of painkillers and nasal sprays which my family physician had prescribed did not work, but instead rendered me incapable of working. Three visits to Tony over a 3-day period made me pain-free. The cause of my migraine – tightness between my skull and the top of my spine.
Later on, I remember when I had severe elbow pain, my family physician said that I would have to live with it for the rest of my life. I thought to myself, “Let’s see what Tony can do.” One visit to Tony got rid of the pain which was caused by a tight wrist.
I suffered from depression starting at the age of seven, back in the days where doctors believed that children could not be depressed. In my adult years, the depression got worse. Fortunately when I first met Tony to treat my migraine headache, I realized from day one that his cranial-sacral therapy was also working on my depression. Ten years later, I am having fun with my life, depression-free.
The team at Awakening Potentials have done wonders for me. Their integrity, expert knowledge and good results allow me to maintain my spirit and physical health in top form. Check out their Ultimate WakeUp workshop, their Ultimate Detox program, their one-on-one therapy and their acupuncture specialist, JP Brunelle.
So true Tony, in many cases it is a complete lack of awareness about alnternative medicine that keeps people from getting the help they so badly need.
Stories like the one you reference from the Sun newspaper help get the word out that there are common sense alternatives that can augment the health care system…getting the word out is 90% of the battle.

Getting the word out is 90% of the battle. Many thanks to Eric Bertrand for sharing his story.
Thanks for your story Francoise. Your story is an incredible journey and everything you have said is exactly how it happened. Tony
