Whole Dude - Whole Healing : Very interesting story. I read this story in the recent edition of Ann Arbor Observer. She is very fortunate, she has survived a traumatic head injury, and she has the ability and the capacity to heal herself. After head injury, the loss of memory most often affects the memory of recent events, and the memory of past events survives better. During the recovery process, the memory of past events is first to be regained. To stimulate this recovery of memory, I would like to suggest that people with the problem of memory loss following head injury may try listening to songs, and music they heard during their childhood. There is a better chance of recovering that part of the memory and it may stimulate the healing process. I am not surprised by this talented artist's remarkable recovery as her talent is her medicine. I wish her all the best and I commend her spirit to perform to entertain others with music.
