Introduction:
Imagine waking up one day without any brain power. Not being able to taste, touch, smell or hear, not being able to speak or recognize their own family.
That happened to me when I was 36 years old.
This is the story of how natural medicines can heal beyond what we imagine, but sadly we suffer from ignorance and misinformation on the part of public and private interests.
Thanks to those who helped me stay alive when 99.9% of patients would be dead within five months of such a severe head injury.
Now that I can write about it, I would like to reach all corners of this world to help those who need it, with my experience.
I spent many years but it finally paid off to me.
Aho!
Biography
I’m Mathew born and raised in Detroit, Michigan.
I moved to Trinidad and Tobago got married in 1989 and had 3 beautiful daughters. My wife and I have operated good businesses over the years.
Everything was great, but in 2001 a man struck me from behind landing his punch directly on my left ear, blowing out my eardrum and rendering me unconscious. As I fell my skull hit the corner of the curb that I was stepping off, busting it open.
After being carried two blocks to the hospital I was immediately put into ICU where Dr. Adam performed two surgeries over the next twelve hours. I then laid in a coma like state for more than three weeks before waking. Few days later I was released.
I’m so messed up!
I was sent home as a parapalgic, the entire right side of my body being affected. My arm was curled up and stuck like a chicken wing into my right chest whereas my right foot was curled over into a club foot. My options weren’t great for a therapist as there were few at that time in the country, earliest appointment was nine months off. Fortunately we knew a personal trainer, he wasn’t an experienced physiotherapist so a live and learn experience for the both of us. I learned to walk in a pool, it would be almost three months before I was able to use a walker.
Slow and steady progress was key throughout my recovery over the next three years with Philip.
Apart from the obvious physical challenges, I had no memory, balance, no senses apart from sight and sound out of my right ear and absolutely no comprehension, cognitive nor hand, eye or foot coordination. Absolutely no short term memory, as well I seemed to have lost our past eight years together, so no recollection of having children nor living in our current residence. I was lost in my own home.
Cannabis
Just like breaking a bone anywhere all the energies in your body focus on it until it’s healed. Within a short time of the paralysis wearing off the energies started focusing on my skull. Sending me into a total state of severe seizure, experiencing three major strokes before making it to Dr. Adams office where he instructed me to consume cannabis to control the seizures. The medicine went to my head just like yours, rather than getting me high it focused all of its energies on what was happening in my brain. By the end of the joint, all seizures had disappeared.
Two years later I began to get “red eyes”, a couple months later I began experiencing “cotton mouth”. As this was happening my consumption was decreasing to six to eight a day and so on. The seizures were becoming less intense and less frequent, soon enough I no longer required the medicine for them as they stopped.
Venom
After two and a half years I was sent to see Dr. Ramnarine, a homeopathic doctor who administered venom of a South American tarantula which attacked the neurons in my brain and basically “jump started” my senses, so he described. He told us that I should have them back the following morning. Taste, touch, smell and hearing all were back when I woke. It wasn’t like yesteryear, I had to learn them all over again.
Psilocybin
Dr. Adam asked me to start psilocybin to recover my memory. The following morning after taking some and not having an experience, I could recall that we had three beautiful daughters and the home we’ve been living in had all come back to me. After a few months I was able to recognise the words in a conversation or on a page. Unfortunately I couldn’t follow along in the conversations or by the time I got to the end of the sentence, I had no idea of what I had just read or heard.
That’s when he told us about Ayahuasca, a tea consisting of two plants found in the Amazon, not expecting me to go to the jungle, he recommended a facility with doctors that deal with the medicine. My wife wasn’t allowing for that, being from a Reagan era “just say no” type of girl.
Ayahuasca
Fourteen years later, I still could not follow along in our dinner conversations, watch a movie or otherwise. Not realising that my wife had fallen out of love with me either, she offered me the chance to go for ayahuasca treatments. I jumped at the opportunity and they confirmed me for one month of treatments at their facility set in the cool mountains of central Mexico. The doctors/shahman began treating me with the medicine, following traditional rituals and ceremonies. I had no physical nor psychotropic effect after receiving the ayahuasca. There’s a physical purge that I did not experience with the medicine, it’s part of the process as it’s a cleanser, first and foremost. The following ceremony they decided to double the doses with still no standard reaction, however my communication and motor skills were getting better with each ceremony.
The other patients I encountered were having fantastic results from their anxieties, depression, PTSD or addictions, leaving as whole individuals with no symptomatic signs with which they arrived with. These medicines worked on such a spiritual and personal level that everyone worked out their own sufferings with the help of the “Mother Ayahuasca” and the following mornings interactions and other activities put forth by them. It was an amazing experience, I felt humbled with their recoveries.
They invited three neuroscientists to visit with me to give their own assessments. Each introducing their own medicines, LSD, MDMA and DMT.
So it continues to this day with the final stages of the remaining two medicines to experience, ayahuasca and LSD.
Lab rat
The scientists all came at separate times and introduced me to other medicines with the same results, nada. When I say nada, I mean of course that I do not feel either the physical nor the opening of my third eye. As they were supplying me I was able to take as we saw fit, setting up weekly schedules often altering as the years went by. The lsd was remarkable with respect to my “scars”. Up to this point I’ve had to control my scars with cannabis. My scars are seizure-like interruptions throughout my day, when left for a day or more they would be evident throughout the day. After taking the lsd there was no cause for the cannabis, not only for that day but the following day as well. So I began using LSD every other day to control my scars for the past three years, again, remarkable.
Just like all the other medicines I began experiencing the physical, for some time before I have the “experience” with all the medicines. I’ve been experiencing physical reactions with both the lsd and ayahuasca, the same week I felt the back of the throat dryness with the lsd I had my first purge with the ayahuasca, and so it continued until most recently.
