Many of you have asked who is the paralyzed swimmer that sees my naturopath, and it took some time for them to allow public release of her name and the treatment. She has finished her training, is going to London, but its really expensive and they are asking for donations. PLEASE know that I provided the link so you can see who she is, please dont donate unless you really want to.

For those that asked. At age 11 she got extremely ill, and it took years to get an answer as to what happened. She woke up one day and had tingly legs,and as the day went on her legs wouldnt hold her weight. She went from that to seizures, and that rolled into a vegetative state and a day filled with seizures and spastic routines. The hospital discharged her still having seizures but were unable to say why, and were unable to control them. They let her family know that while she has some sort of awareness now, it was as good as it was going to get.
Thru hard work, moms determination, and the never quit attitude of both, they finally got a diagnosis of infectious Transverse myelitis and the medical community still says that the naturopathic treatment she received had little if anything to do with her recovery even tho she began her recovery and stop seizing 30 days into her treatments. at 60 days she was able to help in PT and at 90 days she was awake, alert, and working hard to climb out of hole she was in. She truly is a success story. Her spinal cord suffered great damage and she will probably not be able to walk again (we say that now) but she is now able to stand and pivot to get in and out of cars, tubs, and so forth. Perhaps one day she will take a step.
