ANYONE who may know these folks, please get a message to them that TWO miraculous ways for treating brain trauma are HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY and EMOTIONAL FREEDOM TECHNIQUE. Divine Love and Light surround you in this time of tremendous change.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Natasha and Liam during this difficult time. I would hope that the media will respect their privacy while they deal with this very sensitive personal issue.
She should worn a helmet. You never know.
My thoughts and prayers also go out to Natasha and Liam during this difficult time. Everyone think positive thoughts,.......
She's brain dead according to the news. Don't think hyperbaric anything would help right now.
Whoa, slow down... sounds like a simple concussion, no big deal. She'll be fine.
g moore and Doreen are retarded.
So wait, there's a news item about someone who bumped their head on a bunny slope and then started feeling a headache later?
haha wow. I doubt there's anything severely wrong, and the worst case scenario is a minor concussion if she really banged it real hard, but really. cmon.
Please, please, please do not rely on the gibberish of emotional freedom technique to treat injuries. I will not argue about its benefit on emotional or psychological maladies. But do not place the life of you or anyone else in your hands when a physical injury of this kind is in play. You might as well rub your belly three times and wish for the injury to go away.
I send love and white light towards this lovely actress and her family. A class act all the way round. Best wishes.
