Rehabilitation

By
I am now fortunate enough to be in a phase of rehabilitatation. My veins are open. My blood flows without impediment. I have energy. My challenge now is to get my legs to re-learn how to propel me around this world. I can walk and I do with so much more vitality and vigor than I have in years. The unanswered question with the Liberation Procedure is: can lost motor function be regained? From my reading, the people who have been "liberated" have not improved much neurologically. They get energy back; they get better circulation and cognition; but, to my knowledge, the damaged pathways have not been shown to regenerate.

Well, I don't buy it!! Everything in our bodies can regenerate given the proper nutrients and environment. We used to think that the brain can't heal--that has been debunked. I know I can heal more. I know my body has more comeback yet to be revealed. Limits are only in the mind and my mind is ready for more body healing.

It is Julie here. You can improve motor movement in your legs with your attitude and what you think. This is what creates reality. I have not received the treatment yet but do improve each day just like you with my thoughts.

I received my bills this week. $ 32,000 for the Liberation Procedure. $1200 for MRV. Amazingly, my insurance(Blue Cross) covered all but $5000 of the total. I feel so fortunate that it was largely covered. I have sat on Utilization Review Committees(when I worked at Scripps) and thought the insurance company would deny coverage based on the experimental nature of the procedure. Luckily for me, I was wrong! I guess they just cannot deny need for treatment of blocked blood vessels.

New Direction

By
I have used this website for several purposes. First, I used it to discover the magic of the internet and the power of cyber-connection. I realized my love of writing and found my voice. Next, I documented my own personal healing which was a combination of the miracle of technological advance with the development of a new perception of an old malady. I then documented my "comeback" and return to health and well-being and the wide variety of learning and experiences which facilitated my steady progress. Next, I used the site to help me create a vision of the doctor I wanted to be and the practice I wished to offer. More recently, I have continued to clarify my thoughts and feelings on the essential components of healing. Now, I wish to again re-focus and concentrate on what I believe from my deepest knowing to be the new paradigm in medicine. I have worked in and studied our "broken" system and love it for the miracles it has brought and continues to bring. However, ...

Connecting to the World

By
This is a picture from the Eucalyptus Grove At UCSD -- my dogs' favorite walk. Upon our return from our adventure, I read this from Buddhist psychologist, Rick Hanson. I really resonate with this aspect of connection. Connecting is in 3 directions -- inside with oneself, with others and with the world. When we strengthen one direction, we simultaneously strengthen our general connection. This is guidance to connect more deeply with the world. What makes you feel connected? I'd like to know.   Are we really so separate? The Practice   Love the world. Why?   Your brain evolved in three stages (to simplify a complex process): Reptile - Brainstem, focused on AVOIDING harm Mammal - Limbic system, focused on APPROACHING rewards Primate - Cortex, focused on ATTACHING to "us" With a fun use (to me, at least) of animal themes, the first JOT in this series -  pet the lizard  - was about how to soothe the most ancient structures of the...
