Miracle of the Week - Postponing Babe’s Suicide: The mind,body connection
April 27th 2011 06:04
After being offline for a week, here is the latest miracle story provided by Dr Joseph Ierano
It is unfathomable but real: a person’s recovery can allow them to feel so alive and human again that they actually think twice about suicide.
No, it is not uncommon in health care: to hear patients speak of pain experience so bad that they think about ending their lives. They could be atheists, christians or any number of personal profiles. The common thread is that we are all human and pain, when unrelenting, drives us to seek an exit.
In my opinion the mortal sin is not in the taking of one’s life, so much as never being given an option in the solution to the cause.
One such man came to see me. He was insular but polite. He confessed to bursts of rage. A temper that earned him Apprehended Violence Orders through the weilding of a baseball bat more than once. And he was not playing ball. It was not even that he did it without cause. Clients not paying bills, or people being cruel and unreasonable. But this man, Babe, shall we call him (baseball fans should get the reference to Mr. Ruth) had a history of abuse you could only encounter in a nightmare.
The short of it is that Babe’s neck was also killing him. Referred by a naturopath and benefactor, Jack, he came to see me with downward stare but a sparkle of likeability that has burned to this day.
He got better after we fixed his neck with specific chiropractic adjustment; not random manipulation or traction or the like.
Some time later into his program of care he confessed: he postponed his suicide because he felt so much better. Actually he has cancelled it, as far as I know.
