May 19th

Today I came back to campus after lunch, and used my time her to continue reading "Overcoming Paralysis".  It continued to describe the benefits of working in water, and told another miracle story.  This one was of a man Bob McKenna, who when he was 23 fell 5 stories and broke his fifth and sixth cervical vertebrae, leaving him paralyzed from the neck down.  Through years of working with Igor he was later able to walk with just the assistance or ankle braces and crutches, and can live an independent life.

There was also a section on nutrition and how important it is to feed your body food that will help it heal to the best of its ability.  It made clear there was no need for a diet, just he right information on how and what to eat, and how eating "intelligently" is a lifetime commitment and an important part of conditioning the whole body.
