Coma and Persistent Vegetative State

[Guest guest]

Dear Rachelle, Anjeleen and Alireza,

 

Atma namaste.

 

Medical Background:

 

Coma and Persistent Vegetative State

A coma is a state of deep and prolonged unconsciousness, from which the patient

cannot be roused. It can occur during illness (for example, diabetes, liver or

kidney disorder), after a head injury or a stroke, or after poisoning

(particularly from drug or alcohol poisoning). A related condition, persistent

vegetative state, is a term used to describe the condition of patients with

severe brain damage in whom coma has progressed to a state of " wakefulness

without awareness " .

 

Treatment

 

Initial treatment will depend on the cause of the coma, and will be directed at

preventing further damage to the brain. If the patient is having difficulty

breathing, he or she may be placed on a respirator. After a head injury, surgery

may be required to stop bleeding and/or reduce swelling. If there is an

underlying illness, or poisoning, then treatment will be directed at the

underlying cause.

 

If the coma persists, then further treatment will be directed at maintaining the

patient’s physical condition and preventing complications. For example, this

could involve providing adequate nutrition, and preventing infection (e.g.

pneumonia, bed sores). Physical therapy may also be given to maintain muscle

condition.

 

Prognosis (outlook for recovery)

 

Patients awakening from a coma will usually recover consciousness gradually. A

coma rarely lasts more than four weeks; however, patients in a persistent

vegetative state may remain in that state for months or years.

 

Recovery from a coma depends, to a considerable extent, on the original cause of

the coma, and on the severity of any brain damage. Some patients (e.g. patients

in a diabetic coma) will make a complete recovery, while others, particularly

those who have suffered a head trauma, may have some physical, intellectual or

psychological impairment that will require further treatment.

 

The most usual cause of death in patients in a persistent vegetative state is

pneumonia.

Pranic Healing:

 

Since a comatose state is indicative of an underlying ailment, the treatment

will be based on the underlying ailment and the length of time the person has

been in the comatose state.

 

1. Invoke and scan the energy level and quality.

 

a. General - inner and outer aura.

 

b. Chakras of the head, and all major chakras.

 

c. All the sections of the brain and spine.

 

d. Organs

 

2. Apply treatment to malfunctioning chakras and organs.

 

It is possible to heal a person in a coma provided the essential Pranic

Healing steps are followed and the patient's physical and psychological

conditions not yet totally deteriorated. Healing can be successfully done by

first level Pranic Healers who have been practicing Pranic Healing regularly.

 

Love,
