A Journey from Pain to Healing with Quantum-Touch

by Anton Griep

Post-Traumatic Dystrophy

Due to an accident on a fishing boat in 1982, I completely lost the ligaments in my left ankle. Over the years, I underwent 24 surgeries on my foot and ankle. I had carbon ankle braces, but they loosened over time and destroyed all the cartilage in the joint. I received an ankle prosthesis, but it failed and had to be removed. Afterward, multiple joints in my foot were fused (arthrodesis) in an attempt to reduce the unbearable pain. As the pain persisted, more parts of my foot were immobilized, and now I can only move my toes.

Eventually, I ended up under the care of a team consisting of an orthopedic surgeon, psychologist, rehabilitation doctor, anesthesiologist (pain clinic), and rheumatologist. I was diagnosed with post-traumatic dystrophy, now known as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Type 1 (CRPS1). I immediately started intensive infusion therapy involving various medications. These treatments occurred four to five times a year and lasted between two to five weeks each. If a treatment didn’t work, I was sent home and could try again a week later. When it did work, I would feel a strange crawling sensation in my foot—like little creatures moving inside. I went through this process for 17 years.

My condition deteriorated: I ended up in a wheelchair, my home was fully adapted, and walking was no longer possible.

Through friends, I was introduced to Reiki and Angel Energy. These modalities helped ease the pain, and I needed fewer hospital admissions.

In October 2007, while in the hospital again, I woke up one morning in a peaceful and light-filled room. I heard a quiet voice saying, "You’ll never return here again." I wasn’t sure what that meant, but I calmly accepted it.

Later, while browsing online, I discovered Quantum-Touch. It felt immediately right. I saw a workshop listed in Egmond aan Zee and signed up, trusting my intuition. During the very first session with a fellow participant, I felt the same crawling sensation in my foot—the one I only felt when hospital treatments were effective. Something inside me shifted. I was stunned.

From that first workshop onward, I’ve been using Quantum-Touch daily on my left ankle and foot. I often think back to that morning in the hospital. And yes—it was true: "I have never returned to the hospital for my foot since Quantum-Touch came into my life."

Quantum-Touch works perfectly for my dystrophy. Whenever I feel the slightest bit of pain, I apply QT, and the pain immediately fades away. Dystrophy slowly creeps through your body, leaving you exhausted, but the more I use Quantum-Touch, the "more energized and alive" I feel.

Even when I treat others, I feel my own body responding positively—it feels like nourishment. To this day, I feel fantastic. I barely take any medication—except, maybe, one aspirin a year for the hangover after the annual Fishery Days festival!

Later, I could walk long distances with my wife in the same places where she used to push me in a wheelchair. Quantum-Touch has made me feel rich.
