The First 48 hours

Before I arrived at the hospital which I had to travel to for 3 and a half hours up North, I didn't know if Nico would make it or not or that I would see him again. I literally arrived at the hospital with the only healing tools of some crystals which were pocket size and good quality, some aconite 30c and arnica 30c homeopathic remedies and the intention that he was going to make it. I believe that those did actually save his life. During that first week he was in and out of consciousness, the brain and body's way of trying to protect itself from the huge impact of the trauma it was going through.

I was told that the first 48 hours after a stroke are crucial, the surgeons wanted to perform an operation to remove a small part of the skull to expose the brain as it was so swollen. I didn't allow it as I had to give my permission, my feeling was this operation could potentially kill him before I even reached the hospital. Within 24 hours of arriving at the hospital he was rescanned in the early morning, it showed that the swelling in his brain had already come down and he wouldn't need the operation, that was the first major hurdle to get over. Also he had survived the night and could swallow.

He spent 1 week in that hospital on the Acute Stroke Ward, it was shocking for me that Nico being 41 years old was the youngest patient there, but strokes are on the increase in the young and even teenagers and children can have them. After 1 week he was well enough to be transferred nearer to home. That is when a whole new healing journey started as I was able to access Nikken products and healers.

Nico's Stroke Recovery

The first thing I noticed after Nico, my husband, had a left cerebrovascular accident - a severe stroke to the left side of his brain in March 2015 was that he was extremely dehydrated. Water was at that point I would say the most important thing that his body needed as his brain was so swollen, inflammation in his body and in total shock. Even though he was on a drip it made no difference because the water he was being given was not the right frequency, alkalinity and had no minerals, it was really 'dead water' to his body.

Nikken water has been fundamental in his recovery. The first time I gave him the Nikken water he drank about a litre straight off, his body new exactly what it needed. Our bodies are 70% water, if we are in a state of dehydration which most people are we can not even begin to be healthy let alone start to heal from major trauma.

Sitting and Standing - Miracles Start to happen a month after Nico's Stroke

What I noticed very quickly when Nico started to drink the Pimag water and to sit on the Kenko Seat I brought into hospital, was he was more alert.  He had the mstrides insoles in his socks, his right side was warmer for a start, as the circulation was compromised on his right side, aches and pains became less. Also as he wasn't able to walk, he could sit on the bed without falling to the side and in the chair by his bed, his core muscles were strong and his balance was good, he was lucky.

The KenkoSeat I moved from the chair to the bed so that he was always on it. Being so lightweight and comfortable it was easy to do.

He started to have more energy and sleep less. He was energised and started to try to stand. Then he was standing one day and all the nurses were telling him to sit, his consultant was amazed on her rounds one morning to see him standing, but he didn't want to sit - he wanted to start to learn to walk again. And sure enough within a couple of weeks of having the Nikken products on him he started to learn to walk - a few steps to start with. Hard and very exhausting work in physio, but all the time the Nikken products were energising and supporting his healing, so when he was resting or sleeping his body had the perfect environment to heal and the therapies he started to have in hospital, acupuncture, Bodytalk and Cranial, those therapies were energetically anchored in by the Nikken products which increased the healing potential.

He had his Powerband necklace and bracelet on his right wrist, he wore them all the time.

He stopped bruising as badly from the heparin that was injected into his stomach and warfarin into his arm. Plus the constant blood tests.

His appetite was so good, I have to say I cooked and brought in all his meals, Nico's diet at this point was fundamental for his healing I had to make sure it was balanced, no processed foods, a good clean diet and I supplemented between meals with the Nikken Complete Balance and Greenzymes which he loved. What was amazing was that by the end of 5 weeks in hospital after his stroke he had gained weight not lost any at all! And had started to take his first steps.

At this stage we were given no hope for his recovery, that is the norm with brain injury no certainty, no reassurance. I had no idea if he would actually be able to walk again, the speech part of his brain so terribly damaged and I was told that his right arm may never be usable, the bottom line was he would be disabled but to what extent no one knew. I decided that I would never tell Nico any of this 'prognosis' and I knew in my heart that this was not his future and he was going to have to to really fight and how could he do that if he thought it would be in vain.

Nico is an incredible fighter, there was no way he was going to stay sitting, it was to his down fall as he fell, and at that point he had to realise he had to have help and needed to build his strength, it did shake him up, luckily he didn't break anything but it only fired his path to keep trying. Also knowing that he had 2 young children who desperately were willing him to get well too.

When he was transferred to the Neuro rehab unit at the Princess Royal Hospital in Haywards Heath, his healing and strength went up a whole new level.
