Healing of nail-biting

Mrs M. M. (53), Braunschweig (Germany)

From the age of seven I suffered from nervousness and anxiety which manifested through nail biting. It was not until my 30th year that on this account I visited a doctor, as well as a specialist for internal disorders, a neurologist and several psychotherapists. The treatment of psychotherapists with psychotic medications: Lesotemie, Limbratil (Amitriptyline), etc. and three courses of therapy in psychosomatic clinics did not bring any lasting result. I continued to chew my nails. I always hid my hands because they looked so unsightly. I was diagnosed as having "vegetative dystopia." During the year following my introduction to the teachings of Bruno Gröning, in 1990, my nervousness and anxiety ceased. Now I drive long distances, or around any city in my car without anxiety, Since December 1995 I no longer bite my nails.
