Thank You Science
Wrong name? wrong treatment!
I used PATIENT-BASED SURVEY research to EXPLORE the cause of this painful condition (SEE GRAPH, BELOW)
"I am very grateful to have found this book. I love the approach, which is to listen to your body and "think like a detective."
Worked for me!

I wrote it in the third person, for fun, that's all.
As a Pathologist I study diseases in order to find cures
MY SEVEN YEARS RESEARCH undermined these expensive treatments, EXPLAINED IN MY BOOKS - They weren't pleased!
As a pathologist I study disease. I had this damned heel pain (OUCH), spent seven (7) years studying the bloody thing, and worked out what was really going on. What was going on was not going on in my heel. It's a form of referred, nociceptive pain, generally from the hips.
OF COURSE, I WAS ATTACKED FOR THESE IDEAS - I'M THREATENING A MASSIVE COTTAGE INDUSTRY.
CASE STUDIES AND MORE
I LOVE IT WHEN I CAN heal someone's pain
Heel pain treatment, for the condition incorrectly named planter fasciitis, requires that you look beyond the perceived site of your pain, to seek the underlying physical and/or emotional tension.
The problem does not lie in your heels, even though the excruciating pain is perceived there.
Detective work will take you to the source, which is most likely in your hips.

it's a cottage industry based on a diagnostic error
I made this map of heel pain treatments ages ago. It illustrates the sore heel remedy chaos out there. The more I researched this fascinating and horrible pain, the more suspicious I became.
When I proposed my nociceptive hypothesis online, I received immediate attacks from podiatrists. They said in public forums:
- My ideas "are based on bull shit."
- My work "is the worst kind of garbage."
I was banned, along with insults, from a major surgery site. They shouldn't be making money that way. I knew I was onto something. I'm not just a random dude, as a research pathologist and a Fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists (FRCPath).
Escape the heel pain maze.
Once a scientist, always a scientist
I've been a scientist all my life.
Poor ignaz, a thought leader so he had to go!

My experience with the acute heel pain physicians and podiatrists incorrectly call plantar fasciitis, reminds me of the brilliant work of Ignaz Semmelweis, and his fight against puerperal fever. This condition was killing thousands of women and babies.
He found the solution, told the other physicians. So! What did they do? They fired him, and he died a broken man.
I'm no Ignaz Semmelweis, but I'm as sure everyone has that heel pain diagnosis wrong.
It's all laid out in my little book, "The True Story of Plantar Fasciitis."
Your pain is trying to tell you something
Let’s get one thing out of the way; my qualifications to talk about pain.
It’s simple. I’ve experienced plenty of pain, as you will see. I enjoy solving problems for others, including you, my kind reader. Finally, I’m a veterinarian by training, and it’s been reported that veterinarians receive five times more pain training than physicians. Pain is a solution to a problem We generally see pain as a problem to be solved.
"Your body, however, sees pain as a solution to a problem.
"Pain is your body’s way of telling your mind that action is needed. Your body-mind is requesting that you fix a problem, or else. Therefore, pain is one of your best friends. Unless you have incurable, chronic, debilitating pain, that is.”

PS People also tell me I can be a pain in the ass!
