    What you did is a holistic medical practice called patterning. the only reason I know this is because I was lucky enough to be part of patterning for an elderly woman at the A.R.E. clinic in AZ who had had a stroke she was unable to speak or move at all on her own. We would lay her on her belly one of us taking her head and the other four people would take a limb. At that point we would mimic the movements of a baby crawling; while she laid flat on her belly we moved her head arms and legs the way that babies do when they're first learning tocrawl. It took over a year but I got the joy of watching this woman walk with a walker when they said she would never walk in any way again. I had the joy of hearing her speak when other doctors had said she would never speak again. What you did for Roland is you started a new pattern in his brain. You started his brain learning a splice (of sorts) around the broken circuit. His brain will continue to re pattern around that broken circuit and typically make a damn good recovery. Without knowing it you guys just did what a few high-end physicians get paid to do. MANY physicians are completely unaware of patterning what it is or what it does. But you guys did it perfectly!!

It's hard to click on "videos" and scroll each time to the bottom, or not knowing where you left off. But I love these old videos, I watch them every evening before bed!

He is truly amazing and just so strong. What a beautiful story. Also thanks for never giving up Lester. You are awesome for what you did to help Roland. You never give up on your animals and you treat them all with the utmost love that you could possibly give.

    Less than A year ago my dog couldn't walk on her back legs.
    Roland reminded of that time.
    Besides the meds the vet gave her I tried to use the strap holding her up and tried to walk with her.
    This pup is less than 20 pounds. But she's all muscles.
    It was to hard for me to use the strap. It was something like rand's diagnoses. With her spine
    Begin a hairdress I started messaging her. And excising her in the message. She gets plenty of messages every day.
    She walks on all four legs and runs.
    Sometimes she cross her legs.
    It was a close call thought I was going to loose her.
    She had so much will power just like Roland. Lester I know this had to be hard on your back. Roland is so much heavier and bigger than my hotdog. She's a Westie.
    Thank you so much for sharing this story. I had not heard about Roland before.
    I'm so very sorry for the lost of momma pig. Roland new what to do and stepped up to the plate and cared for the babies

  •  6 лет назад +21

    That pig was staring at him at 2:53 as if he was saying for gods sake's help me. We can be so blind sometimes.Fair play though he really cares about his friend, that was great to see. It seems it's stress related or heat related which considering the situation and the fact that he was under pressure is not surprising. It's always important to connect with your animals and put yourselves in their position. They are emotional beings.

The wonderful time spent with Pati, then became a wonderful daddy for Patti’s piglets, heartbroken when lost his girlfriend Pati, but nurturing with such dedication to those little mini-Pati piggies 🐷, then neurological problems..., that was hard to see because it’s just sad..., but with your support he has made such strong strides on his own now ... I’m really proud of him. And I just know what’s been the best support for him through these tough times.
