Removing Belly Button Piercing Restores Energy Flow & Ends Chronic Pain. Victoria was shocked when asked to remove her belly button piercing that she has had for 16 years. The chronic pain in her hands went away immediately upon removing it and she experienced better air flow where she had felt constraint for the past 6-7 years. At testing, it was discovered that the piercing was blocking her central nervous system; its the first thing we test for, as the human body has to have open energy flow.
