Default manifest Abundant health: share healing... stories

Hi
People write of health issues, Health habits, healing, strength, flexibility, fitness, sports, endurance, etc. great!
and
Here's your golden opportunity sharing...
from what dis-eases (acute/chronic, & other assumed im-possibilities),
people Allowed healing , & manifested further... developments

For example:
1. Have you ever met - a woman, cancering, in this case
leukemia, whose oncologists said "Your only hope to live,
to see next (1982) Christmas, is research-center treatment"?
But
she, knowing herself better, avoided all harmful practices.;
plus surrounded herself with positive-people & beliefs.
and the outcome?
4 months later, no traces of cancer, in her body was found, nor since.
Again, she regained her peace, & joy smiling broadly both inside & out.
Again allowing herself to heal, she lives happy & healthy & well in 2009


2. Have you ever met - a woman, mother, pregnant,
assaulted & left for dead? who then was by doctors told:
"We can only help one of you, so this fetus must die" ?
and the outcome?
wks of their abuse aside, true to her word, she Birthed a healthy baby.
And this child, homeschooled, she then graduated college, with honors, at 17


3. Have you ever met - a preemie?, specialists later concluding:
"at 3 yrs, with the lungs of a 91 yr. old, obviously he's dying"?
and the outcome?
guided by an insightful nurse, he, from Life-support
was weaned off , and lived to adulthood.


4. Have you ever met - a 9 yr. young girl, born with myelo-meningocele,
whose nerves were also cut-surgically, forcing her into wheelchairs,
with "You will never move your legs, or anything else, it's impossible"?
and the outcome?
Daily spending time with a Healer, after 4 months,
this girl demonstrated - that Yes! she can move her legs.


5. Have you ever met - a 46 yr. old family man, suffering
chronically with arthritis, diabetes, & heart disease?
His doctors dispensed the same grim dogmatic beliefs:
"sorry, those conditions r incurable, learn! to live with 'em"
and the outcome?
After spending time with a Healer, after 2 months
(better, than prior to him starting dysfunctional conditions)
this man healed, enjoying an exceptional state of Health.


6. Have you ever met - a 55 yr. old grandmother, whose
doctors said: "omg! you have next to no bone-mass left.
Park yourself in a rocking-chair, & Never! break a bone"?
and the outcome?
She laced-up, a decade ago, her 1st. ever Skates, and
has been iceskating... passionately since, & falls?
sure she falls...; & then, she's UP
and because Skating builds bone, she cont. her Fun...


7. Have you ever met - a 93 yr. young man, who
lived thru many wars, much misery, pain & sorrow?
and the outcome?
This youngster continues positive in his Wellbeing,
Spiritually, Emotionally & Physically, as he at 9 was.

Like such individuals, you undoubtedly realize, countless more we can share...

Share here any and all such Inspirational examples, positively & constructively empowering... us all

Cheers!

This isn't a story of 'physical'-healing per se; yet
nonetheless to say the least Exceptional :
Oscar Pistorius, aka Blade Runner, is the fastest man on no legs.
He's a double-amputee, who competed... all the way up to paraOlympic status, on 2 artificial legs. TRUE!

the "Rescuing Hug"...

Not yet a month old, Brielle was losing her fight for life. Born along with her twin, Kyrie, on October 17, 1995, she weighed only two pounds at birth. While Kyrie, three ounces heavier but much stronger, thrived, Brielle’s breathing and heart rate were poor and nothing the doctors at The Medical Center of Central Massachusetts-Memorial tried seemed to make any difference.

On November 12, Brielle’s condition worsened dramatically. “She was turning colors,” the twins’ mother, Heidi Jackson, told the Worcester Telegram & Gazette. “She was getting really worked up. Her heart rate was way up. She was getting hiccups. You could tell she was just completely stressed out.”

Nurse Gayle Kasparian, desperately seeking something to help Brielle, remembered hearing about a technique rarely used in America called “double bedding” or “co-bedding.” Twins and other multiple-birth babies are put in the same crib, where, like in their mother’s womb, they lie close together.

Kasparian put Brielle in the incubator with Kyrie, whom she hadn’t seen since birth. To the amazement of everyone, Brielle showed improvement from the first moment she touched her sister.

“[Kasparian] closed the door and Brielle snuggled up to Kyrie and she was just fine,” said Jackson, the Telegram & Gazette reported. “She calmed right down. It was immediate. It was absolutely immediate.”

Brielle and Kyrie went home with their family just before Christmas, when they were only two months old. When they left the hospital, they each weighed well over five pounds and were considered healthy. “They’re doing fantastic,” Heidi Jackson told the Telegram & Gazette.

The nation learned about Brielle and Kyrie when a beautiful photograph of Kyrie’s arm protectively around her sister, known as the “Rescuing Hug” picture, was published in Reader’s Digest and Life magazine in 1996. People were deeply touched by the expression of love between the two tiny sisters and inspired by the healing that can happen with just the warmth of another person.

Sk8joyful,

I am not saying these things to be a wet blanket or just to argue for the sake of arguing. I am just deeply concerned that people who emphasize hugs over medical treatment will suffer unnecessarily.

What "im-possibilities"? Doctors are not out to keep people sick. There is no big conspiracy. Doctors also don't want to believe it's impossible to cure disease; they just recognize science isn't advanced enough yet to successfully treat everything.

Wanting to be healthy is not enough to cure people. In the US over half a million people die each year from cancer. Are you implying they WANTED to die? That they didn't believe their own doctors could help them? That they died because they didn't feel enough love?

Quote:

Have you personally met this person? When you say assault do you mean sexual assault (rape) or physical? Why couldn't the doctors help both? It doesn't quite make sense. If they don't save the woman, the fetus will die anyway.

Quote:

I get the idea that you don't think mainstream medicine is all that healing. But isn't a nurse a part of the same conventional medical establishment?

If the lungs on a preemie are failing, is the specialist wrong for saying so? Doctors don't usually casually dismiss it as "obviously he's dying". They say "we're doing everything we can for him" and they keep trying.

Quote:

whose nerves were also cut-surgically, forcing her into wheelchairs,
with "You will never move your legs, or anything else, it's impossible"?

this girl demonstrated - that Yes! she can move her legs.
Can you point me to this story? Did you personally meet her? Sound kind of far fetched. Myelo meningocele is more commonly known as Spina Bifida, a birth defect where the vertebrae don't close properly around the spinal cord. Meningocele is the version where the exposed cord turns into a cyst, not the most severe form of Spina Bifida... generally NOT cause for "cutting her nerves" to paralyze her. Something is missing in this story....?

Can you give me the name of this healer who can reverse paralysis?

Quote:
5. Have you ever met - a 46 yr. old family man, suffering
chronically with arthritis, diabetes, & heart disease?
His doctors dispensed the same grim dogmatic beliefs:
"sorry, those conditions r incurable, learn! to live with 'em"
and the outcome?
Why would a doctor say "learn to live with it"? There are plenty of good, proven treatments for all three conditions. A good doctor would get this patient more active to help with all three conditions, and address the problem with diet. Diabetes (Type 2, the common kind) is CAUSED BY DIET -- this is pretty much universally accepted. That man gave himself this condition by eating garbage, and he will "live with it" if he continues to eat the same way.

Quote:
a 55 yr. old grandmother, whose doctors said: "omg! you have next to no bone-mass left. Park yourself in a rocking-chair, & Never! break a bone"? and the outcome?
Doctors do NOT say this. It's common knowledge that exercise stimulates bone building. She's only 55. Why does she have poor bone mass? Bad diet + lack of activity... both of which are under her control.

Quote:
Share here any and all such Inspirational examples, positively & constructively empowering... us all.
I'm sorry, but I don't find the rejection of provable science as empowering or positive. Hugs don't cure cancer. Have you met the cancer patients who were extremely well-loved by their family.... and they died anyway?

There isn't a single shred of proof of of the above anecdotes. What qualifies a person to be a healer? A business card? How do you know a good healer from some guy who just wants to make $ selling snake oil? People die when they're led astray by unproven "healers".

What's the harm in alternative medicine?


What I think is find positive relating to healing:
I think a positive healing story is concerning the wonderful ongoing discoveries made about the connection between diet & lifestyle to health. We can greatly increase/decrease our chances of illness by how we care for our bodies. The old saying "your body is your temple" is true: we need to respect and care for it, not beat it up with junk food, stress, inactivity, and misuse.

The problem I think is that people wait until they're sick (sometimes very sick) before they're willing to change how they live. We should all be reminded to care of yourself every day. This body is the only one we get while we're here.

And the thing that is amazing to me is the mind-body connection. Taking better care of your body, such as with exercise and proper diet, lifts depression, lowers anxiety, and generally elevates mood. People need get up off their butts and force themselves to go outside & be a little more active. Instead people spend all day in front of the computer or tv, then complain about how bad we feel about life.

What I find really exciting is the future: we're learning more and more about how our body and germs work. In my lifetime I may see a cure for most cancers or an effective HIV vaccine. There are still cells in the human body whose function we don't quite understand. And each cells can produce thousands of proteins, many of which we don't understand either. Who knows what amazing, wonderful things we will discover?

Well, I wrote a couple of weeks ago about having scalded my hand with boiling water, and adjusting my belief on it and having no pain, redness, blisters, or marks a couple of hours later.

A week or so later, the skin all over my hand peeled off like a snake, or really like burned flesh. At first I couldn't figure out what was happening -- I thought maybe I had some blisters from writing or something; I had forgotten about the scalding incident. Then I realized what it was, and allowed the old, damaged skin to go its merry way as the new, baby-soft skin underneath emerged.

Not as impressive as your examples, but experienced first-hand!

Thanks for sharing this! - and yes, I did the same thing to my left hand, between thumb & wrist, 3 yrs. ago.
Tho as a former Burn-nurse, I also applied aloe under a bandage for a few days. The 3rd. degree burn,
healed without scarring, and a year later, the darkness also disappeared, so now there's no trace of it.

Amazing! just amazing how we can help ourselves heal...

Do share any other Healing-stories, demonstrating... the healing power of our mind...

I agree to discuss the examples I gave, true as each one is.

I make but 2 requests:
1. re: rehashing the nonsense that "medicine cures".
Particularly since you can not name one single example. Think well, before you answer.
Shed that arrogance.
FULL-stop!
Now, having worked in various medical-fields for 30 yrs.,
of course, medical Science thus far "First-aided" people well,
when in fact a person is Triaged properly, which we know is happening less often too.
and
2.
God, (not how too many docs regard themselves) but in fact THE Almighty God did create us humans to function healthily, including programming us with internal natural self-healing processes. in fact,
Medical-doctors, Naturopathic-doctors, & Chiropractic-doctors, & other healers who each empowers
our >internal natural self-healing abilities<, rightfully earn people's trust and respect.

It's much like your own thread, here: my life change - especially this bolded Belief you shared: The ability to create happiness and limitless possibilities was within me all along." Right on!

Approach this thread, respectful of our *self-healing* abilities, and
you are quite welcome! to constructively... contribute here. Thank you!
.

How many doctors (medical, naturopaths, osteopaths, chiropractors, etc.) do you know? - Teaching & guiding their clients in the skills their clients need to self-heal.

And yes, far too many people needlessly die - from insufficient love, &/or
who do not know how to both Nurture their mind, & Nourish their body.

This discussion - is not re the sorts of conditions, that
require either "Divine-intervention" (human doctors are incapable of),
nor what can be accomplished via some Emergency medical First-aid.

And there are increasingly more medical docs, who do in fact help in many areas,
where research was quietly shoved under the carpet, yet
courageously they continue empowering others in their own self-healing.

The subject of THIS discussion, are folk who all too often, are told are hopeless, when often that is far from the truth. - The truth is, more often than not that HOPE is an essential quality of successful living.

It never makes sense, to practice outside the safe confines of "First, do NO harm".

And yes, I am intimately aquainted with this woman, & mother.

GOD (aka Jesus Christ) created us humans to heal. Thus,
we heal ourselves, when we are so allowed, & given any necessary First Aids: surgery, sutures, casts, etc.

Medicine can neither cure, nor heal, nor whatever other word you want to use.
All medicine can do, is "1st.-Aid" a person, then he or she can their own healing achieve.

Fortunately, increasingly many nurses, no longer
limit themself, & others, to only one model, or the medical belief-system & dogma.

Fortunately, many nurses (as do increasingly doctors) have comes to experience their own healings, plus their families, plus their friends, & so their circle of influence widens... as it should.

Good day!

It is only really the body that heals itself. Humans should not be living in these climates that they are living in since all other mammals hibernate in cold weather. They cannot get vitamin D from the sun in the cold weather and are getting cancer due to a vitamin D deficiency. Of course humans do lots of things that are terrible for their health. Then when they stop doing what is hurting their health, they get better.

The body, this glove our soul&mind inhabit, can Not heal
itself.
As proven by the fact that when the body is dead,
it can not go on existing, not heal itself.

Since people, by the millions do 'self heal', it is obviously the 'soul&mind' part of the team,
doing the healing...specifically the mind directs/controls the healing.

Health can also often be damaged/destroyed by external
agents: BACTERIA, poisons, falls, hemorrhages,
pharmaceuticals, Medical-mistakes, other crimes,
governmental staff, other terrorists, yadda, yadda.

Neither diseases, nor Health, is nearly as 'black&white' as you assume.
We, given our choices, are far more complex!

Yet, with enough Awareness of the right kind, it can be achieved... & perpetuated.
