healing bodily karma

QUESTION: I'm very grateful that I have found this site and that you are doing such thorough and selfless work (karma yoga)... Thank you.
I have been trying to practice Brahmacharya since about 6 years ago. Sometimes, I go for a year, or 9 months, or 6 months without discharging any of my semen. But still, my mind isn't free of lust and so I don't feel I have really been authentic in my practice.
I have had some deep health karma this lifetime to deal with. I have a nervous disorder called 'Tourette Syndrome'(it is a neurological disorder that causes involuntary physical and vocal tics). I also have spondylotheiss in my cervical spine. Basically, my spine is degenerated and compressed and so 2 of the discs are bulged, and also my joint (C-2) is deformed and chipped, and so this causes me muscle tightness and discomfort almost constantly.
This neck discomfort provokes my neck tic, which then makes my neck more tight and uncomfortable. So the 2 aliments(tourette's and my cervical problem) perpetuate each other (I can get stuck in this destructive loop indefinitely).
I just want to make it clear that there are no doctors or medicine that can do anything for these 2 problems. They are considered incurable. I am 36 years old and have been dealing with this my whole life and have been to countless doctors and specialists-- (allopathic and natural and ayurveda). Of course I can take pharmaceutical drugs and dull my mind so I don't feel anything, but that's not an option for me.
I will say that a healthy yogic lifestyle (vegetarian diet, exercise, no caffeine or drugs or alcohol or tobacco, reduction in stress, being in nature, and trying to preserve the vital force) has helped me more than anything else. But I am still below average in physical wellness and want very much to become more centered and relaxed and free of physical discomfort and mental torture (tourette syndrome). Also, yogic asanas and pranayama and other bandhas and mudras help sometimes, but other times activate my nervous disorder and/or cause pressure in my cervical spine, so I have to use intuition when I am doing them.
My questions are:
1. can the practice of "real Brahmacharya" (in thought, word and deed) rebalance my nervous system (help me free of tics) and also somehow restore comfort in my cervical spine?  
2.How could it help my spine if it is degenerated?  
3. How long do you think before I can begin to notice its 'effects'-- 6 months or a year... or?

I thank you so much for your time and response..
Namaste,
Yash

ANSWER: 1. The practice of Brahmacharya in thought, word and deed and with God-meditation and contemplation will help you come to terms with these two problems and gradually taper them down. Since the past karma behind the cause of these problems was strong, much pain and suffering had to be undergone. Brahmacharya in the real and true sense will work wonders as regards both the spine and brain. Maladies of the spine and the brain are generally an indication of negative karma accrued from some harm done to a fellow being as regards his/her life energy or mind/brain.

I will request you to try and slowly perform and master 'Shirsasana' (head stand pose) a few times early in the morning before Sunrise and in the evening before Sunset. But this effort should be very gradual and not be tried in a hurry. At the slightest signs of pain or discomfort, go slow and do not hasten the effort. Eventually, with constant effort and God-meditation you will be able to master this Âsana and derive immense benefits. Upon succeeding in the performance of the Âsana, gradually increase the duration in units of 5 seconds day by day. Go slow at the slightest signs of discomfort. Eventually, you will be able to maintain the pose for a longer period of time. Include this Âsana in your Yogic practice consisting of Yama-Niyama, Thribandha, Prânayâma and meditation. Make it a point to rise at least by 5.00 A.M, immediately have a bath and sit for the practice of Thribandha, Prânayâma and God-meditation. The same should be repeated before Sunset in the evening.

2. Rethas (semen) is largely made of cerebro-spinal fluid. In other words, much of the same material that goes into making the brain and the spine go into semen. Hence it follows that those who loose much semen debilitate their spine, bones and finally the brain and suffer from all sorts of related maladies. On the other hand, a life of Brahmacharya with adequate physical exercise, leads to a very supple, lithe and healthy spine and superior cerebral health and mental faculties. Brahmacharya is the best panacea while trying to cure each and every malady in the body, for Brahmacharya gradually cleanses most of the karma stored in the Kârana Sharira (causal body) accrued from one's deeds in past births. It is this past karma that is the cause behind present suffering. So the chances of coming to terms with the condition become very bright through Brahmacharya.

3. Within a year to a year and half of such practice, coupled with a life of sincere and unbroken Brahmacharya, notable improvement will be seen. But this Brahmacharya should be of the true kind and accompanied by much God-meditation and contemplation. Certain minor illnesses and bouts of ill-health may manifest in the course of this practice when embedded karma surfaces and vacates itself. The aspirant should be unflinching to such developments and stick to his efforts with complete God-devotion and God-surrender.

May the Almighty bless you with health, strength and well being.

QUESTION: Thank you for your very knowledgeable reply, as well as some instructions for me to follow.
You mentioned that I should do the headstand. I used to incorporate the headstand and shoulderstand into my yoga routine, but it really made my neck and lower back (I have a deformed lumbar also) a lot worse. The truth is that most yoga postures aren't auspicious for me, even though I love to do them and feel my life energy get stimulated by them. Even simple asanas like 'cobra' and 'yoga mudra' cause me to feel uncomfortable. And when I sit up too long (to meditate or do pranayama), my spine also starts to hurt, and then I tic (rapidly start twisting my neck around). I have been experimenting and modifying my yoga program around for 6 years and unfortunately, the only things that I can 'sometimes' do while feeling semi-comfortable and relaxed is lie in shavasana and sometimes I can also do pranayama in shavasana. Hopefully that will change in time. Trust me, between these nervous tics that I have and my spinal discomfort, it becomes next to impossible for me to be centered and 'still' for even a few moments.
1. do you think that after observing brahmacharya that this will restore my health to the point where I can start practicing a more complete yoga program? Or will the fact that I can't practice a lot of the helpful yoga techniques now, actually hinder my ability to get well (like a CATCH-22)?

Thanks for your time.
