NB, >>>>> Do you know whether this healing process can go as far as rebuilding nerves also ? One of my problems is that the nerve of one of my vocal cords was damaged a few years ago also, which gives me an almost inaudible voice sometimes ...which is quite an handicap socialy speaking, as you can imagine.<<<<< In short, I would have to say that yes, it is possible for neuronal connections to be rebuilt. >>>>Something else: Tai-chi etc. Would you recommend it to a Bardon's student, as a parallel discipline ?<<<<< Also a very affirmative yes. In my case my Taiji Quan and Qigong practice takes up the place of the physical exercises of step 1 and would help with working with vital energy, though I haven't gotten that far in my practices in IIH.
