the Doctor | | |
 |
Dr. Lee is a walking testimony
to her undisputed success of wholistic medicine with a physical, mental, emotional
and spiritual recovery. She was forced to study the subject out of sheer desperation.
Having had multiple illnesses and injuries, the last insult to her body was a
car accident in which the diagnosis was irreversible brain damage also known as
post traumatic stress disorder. She speaks of her childhood as a continual
plague of infectious illnesses and diseases due to compromised immunity such as: |
Chronic tonsillitis
Ear and sinus infection
Psorisis
Stomach and leg cramps
Headaches
|
Strep throats
Chronic constipation
Allergies
Gum disease
Tooth loss
| |
She was told she would outgrow many of these problems and that constipation was
normal for some children. Dr. Lee's entire life has been treatment with penicillin,
antibiotics and surgery. As a child and an adult, she ate an abundance of sugar,
dairy, red meat and later fast foods. She began smoking at the age of 14. Discipline
problems followed her at home and school. Her ability to learn and retain information
and to stay focused was constantly challenged. Behavioral problems were proven
by the many detentions, suspensions and groundings. She was unable to control
her negative attitude, depression, low self-esteem and disruptive actions. NOTE:
By today's standards she most certainly would have been diagnosed with ADD (Attention
Deficit Disorder) as a child and later as an adult. Previous
to a serious car accident, she was plagued with the following
conditions in which she was treated with drugs and surgery:
| | After
the car accident, living a lifestyle of cigarettes, coffee and
travel as an insurance agent she took no care for the concerns and many cries
of the body. She willed herself through multiple physical and mental challenges.
Until Dr. Lee met the ultimate challenges where she no longer had any will or
control over her life. Doctors missed the brain damage aspect of her injuries
while she was hospitalized and was misdiagnosed. She returned to her life of only
6 months of marriage and a successful insurance career. She experienced various
problems which prompted her to return to the doctors. She had extensive testing
and it was determined that she had post traumatic stress disorder with irreversible
brain damage effecting various areas, including motor skills. Testing determined
an IQ of 8th grade intelligence. Below is a list of the many challenges she faced
as a result of her accidents:
A constant migraine headache
A limp from broken knee that would not heal
Balance problems (falling down without warning)
A speech impediment (stuttering)
Unable to hold a thought (short & long term memory loss, unable to retrieve
information)
Chronic fatigue (sleeping 14-16 hours daily)
Multiple head and body scars
Nightmares (fear that caused physically jumping from bed)
Lost capability to read, write and perform simple addition (Relearned in rehab)
Severe temper tantrums
Depression-suicidal
Psychiatric treatment and drugs
Rehabilitation for physical/mental injuries
Tingling and numbness in hands and feet
Fibromyalgia
Eventually Dr. Lee was placed on permanent disability and
was told she would never be employed or be able to learn again. Upon entering
rehab, she was told it was unfortunate they had not been able to treat her from
the beginning because brain patterns had been set and they believed there was
not much that could be done.
After several discouraging years in rehab
and depression to the point of suicide, she left rehab. Having very little faith
left and blaming God for the situation, she entered college. Teachers were told
she was there to learn anything to help her feel better. She chose not to be graded,
quizzed or judged, due to her 8th grade IQ which would compound her existing stress.
When we wrote this story she remarked it was almost difficult to believe
it was about her, the memory being so vague.
Years later she traveled
to China and became even more convinced the body is capable of healing the most
hopeless and helpless medical situations and that we do not have to get old physiologically
“the body can regenerate and no disease is incurable”.
