After 13 years of spinal pain from an IV reaction, four back surgeries, and a full hip reconstruction, the speaker explores stem-cell and light-based therapies. Her daughter's boss credits a light treatment with unusually fast healing after gallbladder surgery, though stem-cell options cost $10,000 and feel out of reach.
Chapters
There's a story in the Bible about a woman who suffered much at the hands of physicians. I could be one of those women. I've had a lot of medical problems in the last 13 years. I received an IV of a medication, and within 12 hours I had severe, excruciating, like someone was hitting me with a baseball bat up and down my spine. After that time, I had not a hip replacement, but an entire hip reconstruction. I had a parathyroid surgery. I had 4 back surgeries, metal screws placed in my back, and then having to be removed. So my daughter Joy, who is now 25, worked at a clinic where they stretched people. And her boss had just had gallbladder surgery and was talking to me about stem cell therapy. Well, a friend of mine had just had hip stem cells for almost $10,000, and I said, I don't have that kind of money. And she says, oh no, no, this is a technology. Nothing goes into your body, it uses your light in your body, and what do you have to lose? You can just try it, because my surgeon said he'd never seen anyone's scar heal up this fast from gallbladder surgery.
