Andy Wirth's Squaw Valley

On the Solomon Island, a man was dying from tuberculosis, but was instantly healed after prayer and returned to his work, to the surprise of the doctors at his clinic who had deemed him as incurable. Matthew Dawson, a YWAM leader from New Zealand, was hospitalized in Australia for meningitis. He had excruciating pain and his doctor said that it would take weeks or possibly months before he could recover. The next evening on 6:15 PM however, all pain disappeared, and tests the following day showed that nothing was wrong with him, to the doctor’s big surprise. Matthew was later told that his father had initiated a prayer meeting for his healing which had started at 6:15 PM the previous day. Keener also refers to doctor William Standish Reed who has documented healing from breast cancer after prayer, and doctor John White whose wife was totally healed from tuberculosis of the cervical spine, which ”bewildered” her doctor.

The road to recovery was not an easy road back. I still do the same elementary things today that I had to do to achieve recovery. I realized that honesty and open-mindedness was a must. I had to surrender all—I wanted real success.”

Waipio valley: home of the steepest road in the United States as well as many of my most fond childhood memories. Every trip was one that I never wanted to end and was routinely similar until we were within range of the salty sea spray. It always started the same; I would be the first person awake in the house for the first time since the last Waipio valley trip, make pancakes and eggs for my mom who was always the next to awake. She would eventually take over cooking for me so I could annoy my father and sister enough to wake them up, I’d always knock on my sisters door before I ran in and jumped on her bed until she’d throw me off. My dad however wasn’t so lucky, since he’d always torment me when we were wrestling around I could only have

George’s compassion to help others along with his interest in sports and helping athletes heal to get back onto the field was a good combination for him to realize this field would be a great fit. Once he realized he wanted to become a healer, specifically a physical therapist he became determined day after day by pushing himself in every aspect of life in order to make this dream become a reality and a real life job. Through George’s path of becoming a healer I interpreted it as challenging, but fun at the same time through the experiences he was able to obtain by working with and training a lot of professional athletes. The hard work in the classroom and all the late nights of studying opened the door for him to develop relationships along the way and begin his own path in the field of healing. The road may not be easy, but those who are compassionate enough in what they do to help others will succeed. Anyone can become a healer if they choose to, but not anyone can be a successful

Most of what was depicted in his videos were also in his articles such the problem with stigma, the importance of family and community, and the depiction that those who really need treatment are seen as not needing the services. I agree with the Guiding Principles and Element by White (2007) that family and community support are important for recovery (p. 21). Also, I believe that continuity of care not only helps individuals

Agriculture did not occur in the Pacific Northwest because much of its environment was “flanked east and west by the coniferous forests of the Cascades and Coast Range” (Aikens 183). These coniferous forests allowed for vast water system that eventually joined “the Willamette River on its course northward to the Columbia below” (Aikens 183); and resulted in a “gallery forests of deciduous and evergreen trees followed the watercourse, and much of the valley floor was in open grassland with scattered oak groves” (Boyd 67). The coniferous forests and evergreen grasslands for the Pacific Northwest prevented traditional agricultural practices by indigenous settlers, and gave rise to the subsistence “economic pattern of mobile hunting, fishing,

The stress almost visibly hung in the air as Brayden showed his fatigue and discomfort. It was a jarring shift from spending our time fishing to being confined in a hospital room for weeks at a time. The moments passed with talk about Jeeps, football or anything that would be part of a “normal” day. Under the adverse effects of his medicine, his memory struggled with knowing where we left our conversation from the last time we met. However, each time I was there, it boosted his spirit. I am not what healed Brayden. It was his profound willpower and the exacting work of dedicated medical professionals that helped him overcome cancer. I have taken on many roles as a leader at my school that comes with recognition, but my time with Brayden has taught me more about leadership and character than any of those formal leadership

His journey to recovery began when his brother, also in recovery, took him to his first meeting. He went to find support and to convince people that he didn't really have a problem.

After his accident Miller became a physician and poured his life into becoming an advocate for palliative care. By using the patho

It made me more aware of discriminations patients may experience due to their illness and not just with the disease of AIDs. This could happen with many different kinds of illnesses. It was great to see that others were willing to fight for Andy and knew that this discrimination was unfair and wrong. It is crazy to think that this population was often treated like this in the past. They would lose their jobs one because they had the illness and two because the business felt as though the person would not have a future prospect for the company due to the illness being deadly. I am glad that that does not seem to occur in today’s times, but I am sure some discrimination does still exist

It was a crisp cool morning, everything was perfect, except for one person. So as I usually do, I woke up with my 2007 hairstyle sticking straight up.

Through experience, I?ve found that to heal is very different than to be cured. Cure implies a successful outcome and the eradication of disease from the body. Healing on the other hand is born out of self discovery and examination. It is the recovery of the whole self from the trauma of disease. It is my job as a volunteer to aide patients during this laborious journey as much as possible and I believe the first step is to help them change the way they perceive the situation and provide them with inspiration.

Here we go again, going back to the job after a long night's rest cause, I need my beauty sleep.

If his story doesn't spark admiration I’m not sure what possibly could. He literally went from being almost forced mutilate another human, to giving his patients the freedom to function after the tragic loss of a limb through cutting edge technology and modern
