Dr. Caroline Leaf

who was quite an average student not brilliant but you know she was the average and she had a terrible car accident was in a coma for longer than two weeks now back in the 80s if you were in a coma for longer than eight hours you were told by the neurologist that you you were basically brain dead so her parents were told that she's brain dead then she was moving around a little bit so they said she was a vegetable long story short they just basically wrote her off the medical community wrote her off and and but she fought back in her coma

She fought back.

Her parents continued to stimulate her beliefs.

She had come around.

After two weeks, she basically came around and they contacted me more or less six months, within the first six months after her accident, where she was functioning back on a, now listen to this, sort of second grade level.

So she was totally frustrated because here her peer group were going into 12th grade and she could barely cope on a second grade level.

The fact that she had actually come out of her coma was a miracle.

But that wasn't what she wanted.

So they contacted me.

I said, look, I was a young scientist, new research.

I said, well, we can try this.

I believe it will work.

But anyways, long story short, fast forward eight months and this young girl not only finished, caught up with her peer group, but she finished school with her 12th grade peer group.

but not only just finished school, which was in itself a miracle.

So she caught up from second grade to 12th grade in like an eight-month period.

But she not only did that, she actually went on to become a math genius, which was amazing.

So she finished off with grades that were way better than prior to her accident.

So she was evidenced that with directed mind input, with really hard, and this is not just, this is really,

deliberate intentional using of the mind and developing of the mind, her brain changed.

So that's neuroplasticity where the brain can change, but the brain can't change on its own.
