Healing of hemiplegia after cerebral bleeding

Mrs. A. K. (58), Nürnberg (Germany)

In August 1976, at the age of 44, I suffered a stroke with bleeding of the brain which confined me to a university hospital for six weeks. Subsequently the left side of my body was paralysed. I was given infusions, massages and physiotherapy. However, my left arm and leg remained paralysed so that I was not in a position to look after myself or do routine housework. Continual massage and physiotherapy resulted in very slow, minimal improvement, so that, by the spring of 1977, I was able to move independently around my home with the aid of crutches. In 1981 my lame leg was encased in a plastic splint from the knee to the balls of my foot so that I could move more easily. This enabled me to put aside my left crutch and I could climb stairs, dragging one leg behind me. But I could not go out or walk longer distances. This condition remained unchanged for the next eight years.

During my introduction to the teachings of Bruno Gröning, I felt power and warmth throughout my body. Eight days after my introduction I experienced healing. I was taking a midday nap on the kitchen bench when I suddenly awoke with a start and the feeling that I could walk. On the strength of this I stood up, walked through the kitchen, down the steps into the garden and strolled around. All this without crutches, walking stick or splint. My left foot could take my full weight without giving way, and I could move at will. My left arm had also regained its full strength. The two neurological specialists who gave me control examinations in 1990 and 1991 could find no sign of paralysis.
