And so I worked with people that had been in comas for like longer than two weeks.
And at that stage, if you're in a coma for longer than eight hours –
The brain damage was considered irreversible.
Now, in this day and age, we know that's not the case.
But in the 80s, that was the going philosophy.
So I was completely swimming upstream when it came to this concept.
Anyway, I showed with my subjects that with using your mind, and not in any weird way, just a very systematic, deliberate, intentional mind management in different ways,
and different brain building and dealing with emotions and just different ways, same sort of process that you can actually change this.
And so some of my first, my very first case study was a girl who was 16 at the time of the accident and she had lost a whole year of school written off as a vegetable.
I mean, that's what the doctors used to say in those days, which is a terrible thing to say to someone.
Anyway, long story short, after eight months, not only did she manage to – she came around.
I started working with her when she was conscious and functioning sort of at a second grade level.
And she wanted to – her goal was to get – her goal of greatness was to get back to finish 12th grade and with her peer group.
Now, that was an impossible task.
All the doctors said, don't even go down that road.
Not even worth it.
So I said, well, I was a new scientist then, very young, totally into this.
I said, well, you –
You know, go with me.
Let's do this.
