Four years ago, one of my long time patients referred her friend to me.

CC had been diagnosed with bi-polar disorder and had recently lost her business, declared bankruptcy and was on several prescription medications to manage the depression and mood swings she suffered from.

Through a process of alleviating interference to the nervous system with chiropractic adjustments, nutrition, homeopathy and NET (Neuro Emotional Technique – a branch of Chiropractic) she is now off all her prescription medications.

She has a thriving business that is expanding and is truly a NET miracle!

In the course of treatment, we uncovered significant sexual abuse by two different step-fathers between the age of 3-9.

She fought hard to face the emotional traumas of the past to emerge the free and wonderful miracle that she is today!

It saddened me to see him covering his crooked mouth as he strained to control his out-of-balance body, and the grimace that was his best attempt at a smile.

All I could do was maintain eye contact, smile and keep up a conversation – his mental and physical struggles were profound.

And of course, give him my “business card” – an “Expect a Miracle” card. Then, he really chuckled. Lovely.

I started adjusting the daughter and her hearing began to come back. At the same time, one of my office staff’s children (a boy) had come in and was also hearing impaired.

After a period of time, both these children began to get their hearing back. They had the same audiologist and the audiologist was interested that these two children had improvement in their hearing tests.

The young lady to this day, does not wear a hearing aid. The young man still does. The father and the daughter both presumed that they would have hearing aids and the daughter because she was third generation of hearing loss, presumed that she would probably pass the same problem onto her children.

The miracle was that chiropractic had the effect of changing the hearing loss, and returning a state of hearing for these individuals.

Thanks Noel!

Having being in chiropractic practise for 30 years I think I have just about experienced every type of patient that you would expect to see in a normal busy practise. The story I’m going to tell you now is quite unique in that it is the only time which this has happened to me.

One day I went in to consult a new patient and I asked him how I could help him. He replied to me straightforwardly I only have five days to live and I was wondering if you could help me with that’. Obviously this took me back a little bit and he explained to me then that he had terminal cancer, had already done the chemotherapy and radiotherapy to no avail and his doctor had told him the day before to go home and get his affairs in order, as he probably only had five days approximately to live.

As we progressed further into the consultation and then into the examination the thing that struck me about this gentleman was he made a comment, which I thought was absolutely imperative if we were to have any chance with him. He said he did not accept the doctor’s verdict and in fact he set a goal that he would go to the doctor’s own funeral. He did not say this maliciously but he was very strong in his own mind and had now set this goal and honestly thought that he could keep it.

The shortness of the five days to make a difference was not my major fear as I have been dealing with top Australian athletes for 30 years. When I am away with the Olympic and Commonwealth Games team I would often have one or two days to make a significant impact with a sports person. However this wasn’t about winning a gold medal, this was about being able to live.

Because of this strong comment I took him on as a patient and even though we changed his diet dramatically and he immediately started chiropractic care I can honestly say that I was not 100% positive about his prognosis. To this very day I still do not know what made the changes in this gentleman and I’m happy to say that he not only survived that five days but when he came in to see me last week it is now 25 years since his initial consultation. It certainly shows the power of positive thinking and there is no doubt that he expected and received that miracle.

I was lucky enough to come across Expect A Miracle a few years ago. I carry an Expect A Miracle card in my purse all the time.

I have had a prescriptive substance abuse addiction for the past 15 years. Recently I was told my liver may shutdown and I could die. I was added to a waiting list for a detox clinic but was told it could take two weeks to be admitted. I am not the most person and did not find this acceptable. I made the decision I would try and overcome this myself. I have a wonderful family and a great professional support network but they could not be around me all day, everyday.

I was in the supermarket the day after I received this information and I looked at my Expect A Miracle card. My mind started to think. When I got home I printed out some Expect A Miracle cards. I pinned them on the walls around the house and put one in my car. Whenever I felt I was going to slip into bad habits again I only had to look around me and be reminded of John, Judy and my miracle.

It is never easy to overcome an addiction and it will stay with you for the rest of your life. But, with my Expect A Miracle card in purse it reminds me of the hard work and the determination I had to get through this hard time.

I am now on the way to a new, healthy life and I would like to thank John, Judy, my family and Expect A Miracle for helping me.

I was fortunate to have some great friends and family (some of them) who had stuck by me.

One of those friends is a lady called Pam. We had been friends since 1979. We met me in Melbourne at Spencer Street (after 6 months on drugs in Noosa) and I had an empty cigarette pack as a wallet.

The next day she gave me a ‘lucky wallet’ and she believed in me and since then we have been married for 14 years. We have 3 children and financially secure.

This weeks miracle story was submitted by Sharon Hall, Coppell, Texas USA.

When I was 3 ½ years old I had always been a very mischievous child and always in trouble.

One day as our flower man was leaving the garage in his truck, I decided to hold on the bumper and walk backwards while he backed up. Things were going so well, I was able to keep my little legs up with his driving … until he turned the wheel onto the street and I lost my footing and fell on the street … him not knowing I was there, backed up some more.

Here I was laying in the street, he is backing the truck and the next thing I know the left rear wheel is rolling over my left hip. You would think I would have been afraid, but instead laying there under the dark truck was a beautiful yellow glow with me. You see my Grandmother was a beautiful Christian woman and as long as I could remember she had told me stories of how we all had a guardian angel who was always with us to help and guide.

I knew Jesus sent my guardian angel to stay with me and I was calm and not afraid. The driver Cecil jumped out of the truck when he felt he had hit something and when he saw me, he started crying.

I told him I was fine, my guardian angel was under the truck with me. He pulled me out and I am still not crying as I have the warm glow of my angel with me. He ran with me in his arms crying and screaming for my parents.

Of course, my Mother was hysterical and took me from his grip and stood me up and I feel down. I had broken my pelvis. I went to hospital for an x-ray and a cast was put on for six weeks. But I was never afraid, for my guardian angel was with me.

While under the truck, I remember the beautiful picture my Grandmother had of the guardian angel with the two children as they crossed over an old bridge during the night. I have this picture to this day.
