Broken Vertebra From a Car Accident

         My first experience helping a victim of a car accident resulting in a vertebral fracture was in 1987.  The man was partially crushed in his car from an auto accident. Someone had noticed a wallet on the ground outside of the car and realized it was the driver’s wallet which helped to quickly identify him and utilize his health insurance policy. The paramedics had to call the Jaws of Life to cut open the door. They cut the door out, extracted him from the car and took him to the emergency room. The doctors determined that if he survived, he would surely be paralyzed due to the vertebral fracture.  

          Miraculously, upon awakening the man had survived his injuries well and was not paralyzed.  They attached a ‘halo’ onto his head, a circular metal bar that is screwed into the skull which is connected by four poles and secured onto a body brace.  This contraption keeps the head from rotating and keeps his spine straight so the vertebra could heal properly.  He could not therefore drive or do much else.

          I visited him only once a week with my five month old daughter to give him Johrei I did my best to give him Johrei.  The doctors said that if the bones did not heal they would schedule surgery.  He really wanted to avoid surgery.  

          One day he told me that the doctors were going to schedule surgery.  I gave him Johrei, and it felt unusually strong. When I went to visit this man again, he was out of his halo/brace.  He said that after my last visit the screws in his head became infected and when they took an x-ray of his spine, the vertebra had healed enough to be able to remove the halo. He was overjoyed and felt the Johrei had healed his neck.  I was surprised and happy too.
