I thought I was
broken. I was wrong.
How I ended years of pain—and created a method that's now helping others do the same.
My story
My Name Is
Melvin Makepeace.
I spent years trapped in a cycle of nasty, relentless back pain. An MRI confirmed disc herniations
at L4/L5 and L5/S1. I tried physio, chiro, stretches,
core exercises, painkillers—nothing helped.
Surgery felt like my only option.
Then I Discovered Something That Changed Everything.
A handful of renegade doctors had a different theory:
The pain wasn’t coming from my spine. It was being generated by my brain—on purpose. It did this
to distract me from feelings I wasn’t ready to face.
At first, I was skeptical. But I had nothing left
to lose. So I leaned in. I started practicing small shifts in awareness, mindset, and behavior. And within weeks, my pain was gone. That experience changed my life—
and became the seed of The Makepeace Method.
Most People Are Told the Same Story: “Your Body Is Broken.” But the truth is, many scans show changes that are completely normal—and often unrelated to pain.
What’s missing is a clear, practical way
to reset the brain’s pain signals. That’s why
I created The Makepeace Method:
A guided 7-day reset that’s easy to follow, grounded
in science, and proven through
lived experience.
Who I Am
(and who I’m not)
I’m not a doctor. I don’t write prescriptions
or do surgeries. I am a researcher and communicator who lived this journey firsthand.
My role is simple: to guide you through
the same process that freed me from
pain—with clarity
and compassion.
