I had a mild stroke...
where I lost my smile
and it returned in only 9 Days!

When I lost my smile - I was at the end of a really hard 2 week move & beyond exhausted. I had to keep working my 4 part- time jobs that I loved - yoga teacher, wellness consultant, Comedy Traffic School instructor that lead to doing my own Transparenting Life Teachings, and I was playing at cafes and festivals as a New Thought Singer Songwriter playing around San Diego New Thought Churches & starting to showcase in LA with another CD on the way..... all while moving, and and homeschooling our son, with my husband while looking for a school for him & I eneded up doing the cleaning myself too. Playing SUPERMOM - yet being so healthy & loving what I was doing & happy for our new home - that is what helped me to do it. Just after I handed over the keys for the old place - finishing all I had to do - the move was done. I went to my car and when looked in the rear view mirror I noticed my smile on the RIGHT side was gone. I went right to a wonderful Acupuncturist friend who kindly gave me an emergency treatment and a warm macrobotic meal. This gave me the abilty to drive home with the blurred vision on that side now cleared. Then, I did HEEL custom Homeopathic Injections with my Integrative MD. At my request he wrote me a perscription for HYDERGINE and I started to do the Morning Flow Jinshin Jitzu energy work each morning that I had learned at 18 - it just came to me to do it - along with my own Reiki treatments - then my bath and then my Yogadance Flow set. I was able to do all this everyday because I was given a week off for Thanksgiving to rest and slowly settle into our 4 story townhome that was closer to where my huband worked. And we had waited for this move to have another child. W e homeschooling our son who was turning 8 and wanted another child very much. And finally we were back on our feet financially again after the internet work had dried up in Austin in 2000 during the .com- .bomb and we were .gone out of Austin - where we had lived for 10 years - doing public advococy TV and playing in our jam band SPIRAL & playing out with my solo songs that we play as a duo. Due to all the healing treatments and focus on the real root cause of why I lost my smile as I was listening to Carolyn Myss lectures that gave so much insights on energetics - that I added to my own as needed daily Reiki and Jin Shin Self Healing Treatments.... and lots of prayer and as I was praying on the way home I remembered that my Doctor said that sometimes it just pops opens. Then while driving home from the 2nd Homeopathic Trigger Point Injection from my Integrative MD... and it just popped opened up all the sudden & suddenly it felt like God sucked up the stiffness in a straw & it just opened up! Later, my Doctor told me this was called a "Spontainious Healing Experience." I went to him and he noted that my smile had returned. That happened 9 days after it happened. I could smile fully again and I kept massaging & stretching it to build up the strength and all my energetic work too. I was so grateful to get back to the busy life that l loved. My Doctor called it "Bells Palsy" because it healed so fast and that was that. 18 days after it happened I was back to teaching yoga and an all day 8-hour Comedy Traffic Class the next day at The Comedy Store. I was totally back to my normal high energy self & life that I loved as a homeschooling Mom who's had 4 jobs I had cultivated from who I am: Yoga Teacher teaching my own yoga set YOGADANCE FLOW with my weekly intermediate class that was culminating my 30 years yoga practice and me writing music to my viusalizations at the end of class that was in pre-production on a DVD. Wellness Consultant teaching yoga had lead me to help people with HEALTHY FOOD SHOPPING & Individual Wellness Programs. I offered my FOODCOOL "live-it" philosophy of Self healing - featuring an ENERGETICS, ERGONMOICS, & ESSENTIAL SUPERFOODS & SUPPLEMENTS - A DVD of these ideas was also in pre-production called: IN EASE & FOODCOOL. It's a collection of my SELF HEALING tools that have helped me, my family, & clients for years - for listening to your own body to eat what you love in the healthiest form you can find in a joyful loving way. Comedy Traffic School Instructor where I taught sensitivity & conscious raising emotional intelligence through introspective expercises - "How you drive your car is how you drive your life and relationships". I was developing my own Transparenting concepts - and applying it to the life changing traffic school day. Students loved it and when they found out more about all the tools I offered clients they actually took an active role in getting classes going where my husband and I started teaching Transparenting Trainings on Relationship Chemistry Dynamics. & New Thought Musician with 4 hours of original songs - and other material I played in bands.. Besides playing festivals, special events, and weekly cafe gigs the new year of 2005 had brought a wonderful new job to help my music to serve more. I had just taken a new job at the start of 2005 as Musical Director of a wonderful Spiritual Center where they wanted me to play my original upbeat poprock music every week. I was also starting to showcase in LA through buzzplay, and was in pre-production with my next CD. Along with all this I was doing many creative projects with Paz - we did an interview and Feb 2005 we gave Julia Butterfly Hill a CREATIVE EVOLUTION AWARD - as part of a TV Web Show project... that would showcase our music videos with our funky & etherial jam band SPIRAL and other Visionary Artist, Musician, & Activist. We were finishing some recording project.s - 2 CD's called: SPIRAL ON HOMEWORLD & ZOOM POP with layers of vocals. So my life was very full and I loved all of it. THEN THE WHIPLASH CAR ACCIDENT HAPPENED & EVERYTHING CHANGED. This was me 9 days before the accident at our son's 8th Birthday Party March 27th 2005. That's me under my son Zack in the Sponge Bob T-shirt - with my endless high energy and a big huge full smile - for 4 months I had been smiling so much - so happy that I could! My son & I had made the pinata - (Because we couldn't beat up Sponge Bob! So of course, we made a Plankton one.) Then, we painted little wooden treasure chests and filled it with treats for each child. And then, we made the organic Sponge Bob cake. This is while I worked my as of the beggining of the year - 5 part time jobs and homeschooling him. I also did most of the household errands and had several creative projects - that was my life that I so loved before the accident. Loosing my smile had helped us to see how much we wanted to have another baby... and that we had been putting it off until the time was right... and now was the time - we had just moved into a new townhome - we were thinking of buying. Everything seemed to be looking up after a really hard few years.... and then the accident happened. THE DAY OF THE ACCIDENT On April 5th, 2005 I woke up and did my own Yogadance Flow set of yoga. Then, I went on to do my work for the day... teaching a Noon yoga class where I was subbing for a friend. I stopped at Jimbo's Del Mar for lunch and then on to La Costa where I did a yoga & wellness session with a private client. While leaving her house that evening, I stopped at a red light and while I was reaching for the radio and still looking at the road (so my body and neck was somewhat twisted) someone hit me from behind and gave me whiplash. THIS WHIPLASH ACCIDENT changes my life forever - but it is not seen as serious. Why? A year after the accident I got my first MRI. They were just starting to make MRI's available in 2005. Anyway, I was found to have an in-head brainstem bleed - but it was thought to be the from the smile loss and not connected to the accident impact at all. Why were my Doctors so sure that they either did not know or it was not. THEY WANTED NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ACCIDENT LAW SUIT I WAS FORCED INTO BECAUSE THE WOMAN WHO HIT ME HAD THE SAME INSURANCE COMPANY - I WOULD HAVE TO FIGHT FOR MY CARE FROM THE START. I told them that a few hours after the accident. I had a nose bleed & then double vision showed up a few days later and lasted for a month & 1/2 after the accident as the whiplash got worse and worse... numbness in my face returned from when I had lost my smile 4 months earlier - yet that was thought to be related to the car accident impact. So it was considered a "complex whiplash" that included cranial nerve injuries and numbness & pain (flushes, burns, aches ) on both sides and as my feeling returned t turned to pain (TMJ, LEFT TEMPLE HEADACHES & LEFT EARACHES) in my face as the feeling returned. Interesting that is was around my nose with the nose bleed the night of the accident... and my left side numbness & pain was not there at all. Interesting that althought the numbness returned from the prior smile loss - plus in the center and left side as well and I could smile after the accident - so that was not affected. (Later, a Doctor explains why to me. Cranial Nerve 7 - called CN7 goes up the front of the face to make a smile... and is what was part of when I could not smile. In the accident I was a hit in the back of the head on the head rest and in the front of my head inside it... and my head was twisted slightly as I was keeping my eye on the light while reaching for the radio station.) How did I begin to work again when I had cultivated all my own jobs that were unique to me and based on my high energy vitality - that I did not have anymore? So I did my best to heal with all I know to do to heal. So I could get back to work to my many jobs that I loved - to my music and being an active Mom again with our son whois such a joy in my life. It was my son who was the most hurt in all of this. I just was not the same as before... I found that the whiplash wasn't healing like it should with all the good things I was doing for it - I kept back sliding. And I was not able to go back to work even through I kept trying to - I just was not the same. No Doctor could tell me why and because I was so healthy before... I still looked super healthy for my age... and they did not really get all I was doing just to get throught each day. I was exhausted all the time. Nearly, a year after the accident, my first MRI shows what caused the "loss of smile" that healed so quickly - BUT IT IS NOT CONNECTED TO THE CAR ACCIDENT - WHY? We thought the loss of smile was Bells Palsy - except for the numbing of my arm right after the smile healed. Then, the numbness in my arm went away. And I was feeling wonderful - full of life - if not more. Loosing my smile had healed because I began to see how much we wanted to have another baby... and that we had been putting it off until the time was right... and now was the time - we had just moved into a new townhome - we were thinking of buying. When I told my Doctor about the numbing down my arm that happened after the smile healed he said that it may have been a stroke and not Bells Palsy - but he did not write that in my records. 6 weeks after that accident the double vision cleared but I still had the whiplash along with numbness in my face and so many other symptoms since the accident... like monster headaches... nausea, and dizziness... vertigo at times, and weakness that I lived with all the titme - but because I looked so healthy... it did not seem like it could be true. Finally, after a year he sent me to a Neuroligst who had me do my first MRI. My first MRI showed there was a small tear in a cavernoma in my pon - a brainstem bleed. They understood that the smile loss was not Bells palsy but a mild stroke that healed quickly due to all I did to heal it... one of which was start taking HYDERGINE. However, at this point my Doctors felt it was all about the smile loss and did not connect at all to the car accident, even though that was when all my severe symptoms started and turned my life into a recovery lifestyle. 2 years into the process- MRI's were improving and at my 3rd "better" MRI it showed " multiple bleeds". Because of the "multiple bleeds" - it showed that the smile loss healed and there was a another bleed that had also healed - but still not Doctor would say it had anything to do with the car accident. And because of the "multiple`bleeds" I am now told I need brainstem surgery - because it had bled 2 times - they expected it would bleed again. My Doctors explained - the cavernoma should be removed... or it could be fatal - once it has bled and rebled another bleed is much more likely. SO NOW THE ACCIDENT NOT ONLY ALMOST KILLED ME - IT CAUSED A NEED FOR BRAINSTEM SURGERY THAT COULD ALSO KILL ME AND YET MY NEUROSURGEON WHO WANTED ME TO DO IT - DID NOT CONNECT THE BLEEDS TO THE CAR ACCIDENT OR THEY WOULD HAVE TO STAND UP FOR ME IN COURT TO ACTTUALLY GET THE MONEY TO PAY FOR THE OPPERATION. They said doing the operation could cripple me, paralyze me, put me in a coma, or kill me because of the risky location in the brainstem - yet they also said NOT doing the operation could do the same. And when the re-bleed results happened it would NOT be reversible. OK, THAT"S ENOUGH TO FREAK ANYONE OUT! I had felt very bad in the weeks prior to hearing about the need for brainstem surgery. I had done a blood test weeks before because I felt like I was dying. My right inner arm bruised up for a week after the blood test. That had never happened to me at a blood test - I knew something serious was up. It turned out to have high white blood cell counts - and that means infection and inflammation. They would have had to postbone the operation as soon as they did a blood test yet I just knew I had to heal from all the accident injuries first before attempting such a risky operation - for that I wanted to be in my best shape. The neck injury was in the same area... how could they not connect them? BUT WHO KNEW IT WOULD GO EVEN FARTHER IN A SURREAL DIRECTION... So as I chose to heal more from the whiplash accident injuries first... to prepare for the operation - and all my Doctors & practitioners at the time resigned - not wanting to be liable with my choice of not doing the operation now. They felt I had been warned and should take the warning and do it now because he said I should. One Doctor even said I should be thankful to the accident to letting me know about the cavernoma bleeding. I told her that if I had not had the accident I may not have needed to know about it - because it would not have bled - again. I began to understand that the rebled at the accident impact was the multiple bleeds that they saw but I needed proof and no Doctor would connect the two and have to stand up for me in court against a big insurance company. They already were uncomfortable with the fact that I had been forced to be in a law suit to get care I need from my insurance company. I CAME TO SEE THAT DOCTORS HAVE BEEN FORCED TO BE LAWYERS & IT IS NOT HEALING FOR THEM OR THEIR PATIENTS. MOSTLY THEY JUST STAY UNINVOLVED. I understand the position Doctor's are in and it shows just how little the system that's in place is meeting the needs of those who need care as well as those who are offering it. THANK GOD, I found a new Doctor who agreed with my Integrative approach. He agreed that building up my health before such an operation is a really good idea - and espeically to heal from the car accident whiplash first - that was all in the same head/neck/spine area. I also found a few new Doctors who helped me to understand that a re-bled of the cavernoma happened with the impact of the car accident and that together with the whiplash made the old blood contamination - unable to fully heal. I also had many secondary injuries on my hormonal system trying to get to Doctors who deny the ovbious just to not be involved and that is VERY STRESSFUL when you are saving your life. MY NEW NEUROLOGIST FINALLY WAS THE FIRST DOCTOR WHO REALLY LISTENED & LOOK AT ALL MY PRIOR MEDICAL RECORDS: 1) fully understanding my medical history of symptoms since the accident. 2) understanding that old blood contaimination caused the the infection and inflammation that my Physical Therapist found at my tail bone and left temple - so I began to do all I could to help it cleanse through DRAINAGE. (A small boil came out at left temple when doing internal cleansing - as well as unusual red facial pimples and then more feeling returned that also brought more and more TMJ pain - as well as many my immune system responses that match that happening and once treated for - what old blood contamination would do.) And I finally began to show slow improvements in the whiplash symptoms - more - if more treatments were available more frequently - I did what I could afford and I am still paying the credit card bills off and will for many years. 3) and once understanding my records as to what had been known before - he began observing what had helped each symptom. THIS IS WHAT A DOCTOR DOES WHO CARES. Once I understood what he told me about old blood contamination... and started to treat me for what would have happened - if another bleed had happened at the accident. That was when I finally showed signs of getting a little better 3 steps up 2 steps back... yet slowly healing. I had my first Stable MRI 6 months later and antoher stable one 6 months after that. More recently, a knowledgeable Neurosurgeon at Kaiser also understood what my Integrative Neurologist and new MD knew. Independent of their reports, he reported that due to the double vision I had had days after the accident and the location of my cavernoma - that there had been a re-bleed at the accident: In his report this skilled Kaiser Neurosurgeon was very clear with this sentence. "This woman has a cavernous malformation, I am not certain what symptoms may have been caused by this but the double vision that she had a few days following her car accident (and perhaps headache) then were cause of a small hemorrhage from the lesion." So the multiple bleeds that were found showed both that the prior loss of smile condition that had healed and and that later the accident had caused another bleed because it have been only 4 months and was still vulnerable - and the Kaiser Neurosurgeon agreed that I was the acceptiong to their understanding of cavernomas bleeding from stress or trauma. They do if located in the pon - a place that expresses our emotions and is effected once healed to rebleed with a force at the same location in the back of the head from the headrest and being slightly twisted. So finally 3 1/2 years later we know what happened yet there is more still ahead... they say from MRI's that the cavernoma is slowly grows bigger - while I grow stronger - I still may still need the risky brainstem operation - or so I am told. It become really surreal when I watch commericals of how my insurance company says they will be there for me... all my life and they nearly killed me with trying to get the care I need... and then gave me just enough for bankruptsy fees and no money for any care. And here - my life in the balance - and they refuse giving me the money I need for care now and in the future . A way to rebuild my life without asking for others to help me. That is why a settlement is healing... with money for care and to pay back all those who gave me care on liens... or bills we owe for treatments & supplemnts... now having to go bankrupt while preparing for brainstem surgery at some point in the future if it is still needed - unless I can help it to heal from the inside out. My goal now is to offer my brainstem medical case to brian researchers so it may help others. And to share my legal case findings to help with the new healthcare system that is reforming the circus it has been into actually being healthy & caring. Every patient teaches Doctors and healing is a co-creative experience between patients and Doctors/Practitioners/Bodyworker- both listening to what the body is saying through the symptoms... that are asking for nutrients & treatments. SURVIVING MULTIPLE BRAINSTEM BLEEDS HAS TAUGHT ME THAT ALL THINGS CAN HEAL WHEN YOU REALLY LISTEN TO WHAT THE BODYWISDOM IS GUIDING YOU TO DO TO HEAL. THIS IS POSSIBLE FOR EVERYONE - ONCE YOU BECOME YOUR OWN RESEARCHER. A SEEKER ON THE PATH... AND THAT'S WHEN YOU FIND THAT THERE ARE MANY TOOLS FOR YOUR SPECIFIC HEALTH CONDITION. I took hydergine right when I got home- less than a 1/2 hour after the accident happened as soon as I got home - for first aid needs. I did not know about the in-head bleed - and yet I was listening to my bodywisdom that told me to do it. I believe that it gave my brain the oxygen it needed - and that's why I am still here and that's why my TBI was only mild & healed - and now the only side effect to HYDERGINE... is that is makes us smarter... it builds dendrites connected with high IQ. Due to me surviving multiple in-head bleeds - several of my Doctors & new practitioners feel that taking HYDERGINE is what saved my life. Even ones who are non-Integrative and only barely knew of Hydergine... due to the location of the bleed along... how else would I have survived. One Neurolgist said that I "cheated death" although I would say that I embraced life... and so it is. So now I am dedicated to widening the use of this amazing non-toxic drug with the FDA - so it can help others who have strokes too. STROKES ARE THE # 3 TOP KILLER IN THE US Hydergine is already being used for strokes in Europe so I have asked my Integrative Neurologist to write an abstract so we can help widen the use to include strokes, pre-surgery, and first-aid as it is being used in European hospitals and we would like to also include other neurologic disorders that it may prove helpful with - along with an Individual Wellness Program. I have many more injuries in this "whiplash+" that prevents me from doing my yoga set Yogadance Flow that has kept me healthy for over 3 decades - so I developed Bathyoga and other energetic energy treatments: Acupressure Point Harmonization along with many other healing tools. I pray that what I have learned may help others. IF THERE IS ONE THING THAT CAME OUT OF MY EXPERIENCE IS THAT WE HAVE ALL THE TOOLS TO BUILD UP, CLEANSE, AND HARMONIZE THE BODY. SO MUCH CAME OUT OF MY JOURNEY THAT CONTINUES AS MY EDUCATION DOES.... I STILL HAD TO DEAL WITH ALL THE SECONDARY INJURIES...& I ENDED UP WITH HYPOTHYROIDISM - I THINK MAINLY FROM THE INSURANCISM PROCESS THAT IS THE MOST UNHEALTHY PATH TO GETTING HEALTHCARE & THEY MAKE SURE YOUR DON'T GET MUCH - ANY WAY THEY CAN - BUT LET'S FOCUS ON THE HEALING THAT HAPPENED BECAUSE IT IS MUCH MORE INTERESTING & IMPORTANT. SO WHAT DO HORMONES HAVE TO DO WITH HEAD INJURIES & TBI? One of my Kaiser Doctors told me that everyone in the Intensive Care unit and especially anyone with head trauma has hypnothyroidism. This he told me after I healed my way high TSH in only 4 months with bio Identical hormone supplements & superfoods. But that was not all that was uncovered... I understood that I had found much more in the process and that was why I was give the Honorary Doctorate in Integrative Medicine for my contributions to Longevity and Brain Nutrition. THE DNA - NUTRITION CONNECTION IS REAL WHEN WE EAT SUPPLEMENT THAT OFFER NUTRITION TO THE BODY IT CAN CHANGE OUR DNA In the 3rd year after the accident a tonsil cyst was found... I was told to lance it by my Kaiser Doctors. I wondered if this was the choking I was feeling since the accident? So I had it lanced and it became really sore and all the way from my tailbone to my top of my head and all location inbeteen - and the choking went down to my thyroid that now burned. I came to understand that it was not infected... this tonsil cyst had calcium dposits on it and was filled with Keratin - a protien - a main ingredient for repairs. I found out that New Zealand makes a digestible Keratin out of wool... I ordered a combo (KeratinFLX - that also included MSM that makes keratin, and tumeric, and other herbs) As soon as it came I opened a capsule and poured it on the place the tonsil cyst had been. I felt relief go to all of my pain in each of the locations along the spine from the top of my head to my tail bone. This means that the tonsil cyst was feeding nutrient to each of these locations... this is the purpose of tonsils to distribute nutrients from what we eat all up that down the spine - and from the spine it can reach all locations it needs to go. This is why sublingual medicines are put under the tongue where it can gain access to the tonsils. MY TONSIL CYST HAD BEEN PROTECTING MY THYROID! AFTER IT WAS LANCED I TESTED HIGH FOR HYPOTHYROIDISM. My TSH was at 7.9 (HIGH) in October 08 after doing all that is mentioned below my TSH went to 3.7 (NORMAL) in February 09 SO IN 4 MONTHS MY HYPOTHYROIDISM WAS HEALED AND MY TBI WAS MOSTLY GONE. One of my Kaiser Doctors let me know that Hypothyroidism is what all the people in the intensive care have... it is what the body does in reaction to shock and trauma... when in life threatening conditions he said that Hynpthyroidism follows TBI. WITH LOTS OF YAMS, YOUNG CO-CONUTS, SEA WEED & ORGANIC EXTRA VIRGIN CO-CONUT OIL WITH ATOMODINE - EDGAR CAYCE IODINE SUPPLEMENT - I was able to bring my levels back into the high of normal within a month of focusing on it and my TBI has improved greatly - so they are connected. THEN I FIND OUT THAT CAVERNOMAS ARE CONNECTED TO THE KERATIN GENE! Perhaps becoming vegetarian where I began getting more esaily digestible protiens was a chose that made me so strong... as well as doing yoga that strengthens the whole body. I wonder when more Doctors are interested in healthy people.... and how they heal... this is the study of wellness and understanding preventions through nutrition and healing treatments. There have been many others on my journey of healing: CranialSacral Therapy, Lymph Drainage, & Brain Nuclei Technique, Acupuncture, Chiropractics, Orthobiotics, Raindrop Therapy Treatments (cleansing the spine with theraputic grade essential oils & massage) and so many Young Living Products for optimal health, cleansing, & hormal bancing through superfood nutrition. I live on lots of organic produce & juices and eat what I am hungry for as I am hungry for it - self muscle testing before I eat or drink or swallow anything.... and lot of spring water all day long. As far as Energetic Medicine: While pregnant with our son I initiated as a Reiki Master (to bring my energy up to his- for sure) - so I had been doing Reiki nearly 10 years when the accident happened. I have been continuously doing Reiki on myself as part of my everyday life - yet when the smile loss happened... I also remembered a Jinshin Jitzu treatment. This is something that I was taught at 18 when I became part of an intentional community of advanced healer who were all older than me and took me under their wing. Nancy taught me Bach Flower Remidies and this Jinshin Jitzu exercise - she called: "Morning Flow". It came to me so clearly that I started doing it every morning and have ever since. As I did it everyday I began adding prayers connected to chakra information at each location... adding ones... so that each location along the center had a purpose and intention. I know it helped a lot and so I continued to develop this treatment that is also a was to check in to how all those part of our energetic body is doing. I call it: Acupressure Point Harmonization. I can also use it for pain as it happens & design points for specific needs for others to do on themselves. I was able to help spasms with it and as a tune up... and personal focus for an area calling out for extra energy - it helps. Then, due to the pain I was in since the complex whiplash car accident - I has stopped working and started learning & was certified in HYPNOTHERAPY & EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) I wrote the EFT BLESSINGS SONG... that I do all the time as well... it is very uplifting. At each location: "Right now I'm taking action by loving & apprecitating myself for who I am... I'm doing the best I can." Then I went on to earn my MA in| Clinical Hypnotherapy from Huntington Pacific University and having done all the coursework - I am now finishing up my Ph.D. in Motivational Psychology with my dissertation in Co-Creative Education from my Transparenting Material I have been developing since my sons birth. After being told I needed a brainstem operation - I started turning my focus to healing the brain I then studied from the Upledger Institute: CranialSacral Therapy, Lymph Drainage Therapy, & Brain Nuclei Technique. and found out how nutrition and new thought are very connected through brain plasticity. The course taught at the Upledger Instuitute are the most clear about how the body is integrated through these symptoms & I was able to understand that my body could heal from the inside out. The infection of old blood contamination had caused inflammation that my body had used to issolate the infected areas until I was strong enough to clean it out. As I became strong enough I was able to cleanse more and more and clean it out - I began to feel better & better - more like my former self before the accident. DRAINAGE is what Edgar Cayce calls this... the ability for the body to repair isel through drainage from cleansing. And I am betting my life on this principle... I am giving myself a year... now that the toxic law suit is over - and I don't have to go to foolish Doctors too affraid to report what they see due to insurancism. All of this made my health condition much worse. Now that I have accepted I will be paying off my debt due to the accident for years to come. That insurance as we have known it is a scam that is part of a healthcare system that is mostly a scam as well. Walking from all this - and chilling for a year... building up my immume system, to slowly cleanse more and more while I do all kinds of energetic balancing - paying attention to hormonal & pH balancing.. I feel will be the way to get the drainage to happen enough to allow the cavernoma to shrink and be reabsorbed or at least stable and not growing bigger. SO THAT'S MY PLAN OF ACTION... AND FOR ALL MY PROGRESS SO FAR HERE A RECAP AND WHAT I WAS OFFERED FOR IT:

THE STORY OF MY BRAIN MY EDUCATION A few months after the accident, I saw it was going to take longer to heal than I thought so I started to study Clinical Hypnotherapy for the constant pain I was in and it really helped me. I had a 30 year yoga practice and even had developed my own yoga set: YOGADANCE FLOW that I was in pre-production with the DVD with my Intermediate Class. So I started doing BathYoga... and have been doing it ever since. In the bath I can meditate - it is the only place I am not in pain... so I took baths up to 3 or 4x's a day. I went on to earn an MA in Clinical Hypnotherapy from Internationally Accredited (WAUC) Huntington Pacific University. Specializing in: Clinical Medical Hypnotherapy (CMH) to help with all my many medical conditions. While in recovery I have developed many tools out of need: I had remembered a tool from deep in my past that was based on a Jinshin Jitzu self healing treatment (Morning Flow) that I have evolved with prayers, songs, chakra focuses and other meanings & mantras for each location, Now I use it for first aid as needed for pain and spasms and have come up with lay outs for others that are custom to their needs so they can become the healer in their lives. Doing the Acupressure Point Harmonization Morning Flow first thing is both a diagnostic & self healing tool. A morning prayer for attunement harmonization of gratitude for another day. I also became certified in EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) and wrote a song to the tapping movements: BLESSINGS & APPRECIATIONS I went on earning my Ph.D. in Motivational Psychology also from Huntington Pacific University. After doing all the course work I have been working on my dissertationwith my focus: Co-Creative Education that is based on my Transparenting Material. Transprenting is a growing collection of inspirations of parenthood within, with my son & husband & others I began to teach in my different classes & as a Wellness Consultant over the years. Knowing that anyone I teach equally teaches me.... it is a co-creative process we share. Keeping myself centered on healing through this car accident recovery with all that came after has proved to be Motivational Psychology in action and all my Transparenting concepts keep growing deeper. All the course work again, proved to help me in so many ways just as the Hypnotherapy focus had with practical tools for physical pain. Now I was empowering the understandings of deep relaxation & the brain with my concepts of: INNER MOTIVATION + SELF DISCIPLINE = SELF EMPOWERMENT. I told the chancellor of my school about having to set my dissertation aside - while saving my life since this accident turned out to be more complicated... and now life threatening. I told him how I had been doing brain research ongoing and had studied all I could about the brain and spine and their connection through studying: CranioSacral Therapy & Lymph Drainage Therapy & Brain Nuclei Technique and Energetic Medicine courses with Carolyn Myss & Norm Shealy as well as my own Reiki and my own Acupressure Point Harmonization Technique I also told him how I found out my Tonsil Cyst was not infected when Doctors lanced it - it was filled with Keratin/Calcium. With the tons of pain after the lancing - I realized it must have been offering nutrients up and down my spine from the top of my head to my tail bone where I had pain. I felt so much pain in my Thyroid that I did not have before so it must of been protecting it. I found out New Zealand made a digestible keratin from wool and ordered KeratinFLX (a combo with MSM that makes Keratin, & other herbs) and I felt so much relief when putting it on the tonsil that was lanced. This meant that the role of the tonsil was to offer nutrients up and down the spine - stored in a cyst if need be - yet also taking nutrients from what we eat as we chew it goes to where it is needed through the tonsils to the spine. Then I find a medical abstract that states: More than 100 mutations that cause cerebral cavernous malformations have been identified in the KRIT1 gene. So lack of the Keratin1 protein causes cerebral cavernous malformations - therefore it is likely that giving it that nutrient would help it. I was giving my body so many Superfood nutrients it was making keratin & Calcium out of it all. Now I take a calcium combo (Bone Up) & a Keratin Combo (KeratinFLX) So I AM PROOF OF THE NUTRIENT - DNA CONNECTION. MY THEORY: IF WE GIVE THE BODY WHAT IT NEEDS IT WILL MAKE WHAT WE NEED OUT OF IT - OUR BODY IS THE BEST CHEMIST. TAKE ADAPTOGENS, ANTIOXIDANTS, & NOOTROPICS THEY ARE NON-TOXIC & ADJUSTS TO BODY NEEDS.
