Thumbs Up For Medical Science

There are times that I question the effectiveness of traditional and conventional medicine and pharmaceutical solutions. Many times I feel there is a reliance on medications and no other option is explored. But when I read the amazing work that is being done with Kevin Everett it is truly a medical breakthrough. Kevin Everett was a football player who sustained a life-threatening spinal cord injury. Initially the prognosis was that he would never walk again with such a catastrophic injury.

However the team of doctors in Buffalo have collaborated with with a team in Florida named the Miami Project who specialize in spinal cord injuries and paralysis. Kevin Everett voluntarily moved his arms and legs prompting doctors to change their original prognosis. The key was the Buffalo team ran an ice-cold saline solution through Everett's system that put the player in a hypodermic state. Doctors at the Miami Project have demonstrated that such action significantly decreases the damage to the spinal cord injuries due to swelling and movement.

This innovative procedure is appearing to help accelerate his recovery because of the unexpected movement of his body. There also appears to be touch sensation throughout his body and even the doctors are proclaiming that this is a miracle. The spectacular progress that medical science has made in the last five to ten years is amazing. The breakthroughs that university research teams continue to find answers too move human development and knowledge to a new level.

It is too early to make definitive statements concerning to what degree Everett will improve. We know that medical science has positioned itself to make monumental strides in healing. Problems that before took months and years to correct can now be corrected in weeks. As we project in the future I know that today's crisis will become yesterday's headaches and challenges. There are amazing breakthroughs and solutions that will enhance and improve living. This is an exciting time to be alive. Live Life
