Clear Passage During COVID-19
It’s a difficult choice. On one hand, you have an all-natural treatment shown to give life for women diagnosed infertile, to return life or save lives for people with long-standing pain or recurring small bowel obstructions. How does a person determine the safest way to proceed?
While we read that Florida has become a new epicenter of coronavirus, a closer look shows that the dramatic growth has been in South Florida, hundreds of miles from our national headquarters. The major cities of Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, Orlando, and even Jacksonville are reporting high rates of coronavirus; generally speaking, Gainesville and Alachua County where our main clinic is situated are not. You can check rates by checking this website, which links to a dashboard for Florida statistics: https://bit.ly/2OifBL1
Many patients continue to drive to Gainesville or our locations in Saint Louis or California. Those who live near London or New York find those clinics easily accessible. Once in a Clear Passage clinic, you can be assured that we are taking the proper steps to ensure patient safety.
One advantage at Clear Passage is that we typically treat very few patients at one time. Even in our Gainesville, Florida headquarters, we generally treat a maximum of three patients a week. Additionally, each patient is reserved their own room in our clinic for the entirety of their treatment at CP. Thus, your exposure to any potential threat is much lower than in most health clinics in the USA or UK.
Flying directly to the Gainesville airport may give you a greater comfort level than flying into Jacksonville, Orlando, or Tampa (which are up to 2 hours away from our clinic). Once patients arrive, many choose to stay in a private rental home. You can have food delivered and even order food before you arrive. The grocery stores here are not crowded and the positive cases here are significantly lower than in other parts of the state.
We suggest you rent a car so you can take advantage of the numerous uncrowded outdoor sites. In Gainesville, the 400‑acre Kanahapa Botanical Gardens has beautiful topography with lakes filled with plants and flowers from all over the world. A one-hour drive and you can watch the Cedar Key sunset over the gulf. Staying in a private home is a bit like staying at your own home, interspersed with visits to a safe, clean clinic in which you are probably the only patient you are going to see.
Thus, making a determination of whether to save your life, return your quality of life, or return the ability to be a mother is not such a scary decision as it might be. Feel free to call us for more information; we look forward to helping you heal.
Celebrating Life: A Patient’ S Story Through Infertility
Two Blocked Fallopian Tubes, Despite Laparoscopy and Open Surgery - Marsha
Marsha was diagnosed with two totally blocked fallopian tubes by HSG, laparoscopy, and laparotomy (open surgery). Her pelvis was so adhered with scar tissue that she was diagnosed with “frozen pelvis.” She had no normal mobility in the pelvis because her organs and tissues were tightly adhered together in a mass. “It’s like glue was poured into her pelvis,” the physician said. “I am sorry to send you such a difficult case, but she certainly fits the criteria of therapy.”
Marsha had undergone both laparoscopy and open surgery (laparotomy) in hopes of correcting her tubal problems and decreasing her pelvic pain. Despite all medical attempts, post-surgical diagnostic tests confirmed that both of her tubes remained totally closed, and even after the pelvic surgeries, she still had significant pain. We resolved to do our best to help her.
When Marsha came in for therapy, her situation was nothing short of severe. Years of inflammation, infection, and multiple surgeries had left her pelvis feeling like a rock. The skin was deeply sucked-in at her surgical scars. Guided by the determination and skills we had developed over years of treating Belinda and others with adhesion pain, we embarked, hoping to help a woman whose (Chief of Staff) physician had told us was an “impossible case.”
We began slowly and steadily to engage our hands in the tissues of Marsha’s pelvis. In the beginning, it felt as if we were pushing against a small boulder, immobile and impassive. However, as the hours passed and the outer layers of adhesions began to detach, we noticed that the boulder began to move some upon palpation. Before long we were able to move Marsha’s boulder a bit from side to side, then top to bottom, then diagonally. Working both externally and internally, we slowly peeled away layer after layer of adhesions until the boulder began to divide into smaller structures which we called her “rocks and pebbles.” Eventually, most of these dissolved as well and we were able to actually palpate specific organs within her pelvis. About this time, she reported that her back and intercourse pain, both of which had been severe, had dissipated significantly.
At the time, we had absolutely no idea how many hours of treatment we should render if we were to open either of her tubes. We were just going by touch, feel, and patient feedback. In the end, after 23 hours of manual therapy, we felt Marsha was ready for a repeat dye test. We held our breaths as we sent our test patient for an independent follow-up dye test. To the utter surprise of everyone, the test results were nothing short of remarkable.
The diagnostic physician reported that one of Marsha’s tubes was now completely free, clear, and open with “free spillage” of the dye. In addition, the dye went measurably further through the other tube. We had done it! We had improved both tubes and totally opened one when two different surgeries had failed to achieve any results at all!

The main thing is that everyone is laughing and genuinely happy. It is a very humbling and wholesome feeling to spend quality time with my family.
