Sophie's Story

This is the miraculous story of a little girl named Sophie who lives in Southern Ontario. She and her parents are being guided by a man known as the 'Canadian Edgar Cayce ' who also is able to diagnose and provide remedies by using the 'Deep Meditative Trance'.

Sophie was a healthy, active 6 year old in May 2000, when she suffered an aneurism and multiple strokes from a congenital defect on her brain stem. She was declared brain-dead, then responded, and began a nightmarish hospital stay. She had severe spasms and shaking, and was given a shunt tube to drain her brain fluid. At several points during the hospital stay, she had further trauma, seizures and abnormal drug reactions; when the fluid thickened and could not be drained, she lost more function and brain tissue, almost dying again.

After coming home in the Fall, she worsened, and doctors were unable to correct the hydrocephalus. She was given less than a week to live, and was barely breathing, with constant suctioning needed to keep her airway open. At this point, we went to Douglas James Cottrell, a well known local medical intuitive, for a reading; he told us that she would decide whether to stay or not in the next 6 days. If not, she would rapidly deteriorate and die, but if she chose to do the work, she would improve. He suggested shiatsu and cranial-sacral therapies to support the body while Sophie made her decision. We had daily shiatsu and weekly cranial treatments, and her breathing slowly cleared as we continued. By the end of the month, she was breathing without suction. This allowed doctors to change a valve in her shunt, then the fluid finally drained, bringing rapid changes; some speech and motor control returned, oral drinking and some eating, etc. Doctors were astounded at this "miraculous" turnaround.

Since then, Sophie has regained a lot of her cognitive function, attends school, and has limited use of her right arm and speech ability. She has had further challenges with improper shunt placement, (described in great detail by Douglas' "remote viewing" ability), compromised immune system, and continued spasticity issues. All along the way, we have consulted Douglas when doctors, therapists, or our own intuitive resources were at a loss. We could always count on accurate, detailed descriptions of the body functions, down to the most minute detail, plus reasons for the impairment, and solutions to help correct it. We also benefited from Douglas' insights on the "big picture" of why Sophie is going through this, which has allowed us to cope and continue the exhausting care that is required.

Simply put, Sophie would not be alive if we did not have the information that Douglas provides. The method of gathering this information seems unbelievable to some, but we have come to count on his readings, having seen the proof of the physical information time and again with Sophie's care. Many people ask if Sophie has to be present, and are shocked by the fact that Douglas simply "finds" her mind remotely while in a deep meditative state in another city. However, he describes recent events -such as a seizure the day before- in such detail, that it is impossible to doubt the accuracy of the physical information.
Projections for Sophie's recovery have remained constant, with an
expectation for improvements as the brain heals, leading to an almost complete recovery of function. The time frames given fluctuate, as Sophie is very fragile and experiences many difficult impediments to the linear progress of her recovery; however, Douglas continues to "see" her healed in the near future.

He offers insight that Sophie's case, and the methods we have adopted to maintain her health, will be studied to the benefit of future generations, changing the way the medical community deals with these fragile children. Most children who suffer aneurisms die, not from the initial trauma, but from the complications afterward, and it is this area where we seem to be breaking ground.

Already, doctors in Stratford, Ontario sent another little girl immediately to the neurosurgeon, because of the knowledge gained from Douglas' insights, thereby sparing her many hours of needless trauma and unnecessary strokes. The other girl was spared the extra impairment and damage that Sophie suffered, because of the use of Douglas' Cayce style readings.

The neurologist who cared for Sophie in the hospital attended a pediatric brain injury conference in Europe recently, and spoke of our use of cranial-sacral therapy with Sophie. She was approached by doctors in these other countries to see how they could use this method to help their patients. So, Sophie's example is already affecting children far outside our immediate circle.

We continue to shift therapies, remedies, etc., working with Sophie's ever-changing needs and challenges, hoping to maintain her health long enough to allow the brain to heal and take over those functions that we are artificially supporting. Once an improvement in one area occurs (digestion/assimilation, for example), it should lead to improvements in other systems, allowing for the strengthening she need to do the physical rehabilitation for motor control.
