Broken Bones
By Don Fotheringhame Jr.
On September 21, 1996 I was on what I thought was going to be a regular boy scout camping trip. That Saturday morning as we climbed to the top of a two hundred foot cliff I never could have imagined what would happen to me in the following hours, days and months.
As I began my usual training session on do's and don'ts of repelling, we tied off ropes, pulled on gloves and tightened our harnesses. After these preparations I hooked into the rope in the usual manner and began climbing over the edge Once I was over the edge and the rope was laying on the rock I knew it was safe to jump out and down the rocky terrain. It was only about 10-15 feet over the edge of a cliff approximately 200 foot high, that I looked up to see the rope sliding across the rock at the top and cut completely apart. I gasped as the breath left me and pushed off the rock face as hard as I could. I was trying to push off to the other side, as I was over a ravine, and land on the face of the other cliff. I was not able to grab on but instead hit and bounced back and forth until I landed in a crevice and slid about 20 feet where I stopped and blacked out for a short time.
When I opened my eyes and came to, I looked into the eyes of a friend and asked "Am I going to die ?" I became aware that the people there might not be able to get me off the side of the cliff. With an adrenaline rush, I started to climb up the cliff, hooked into another rope, crawling on my hands and knees.
When I got to the top I collapsed and laid there in agony until the rescue team got there. Because of where we were the helicopter could not land. I was loaded onto a pickup which drove me off the mountain and to an ambulance. I was then driven to a field where the helicopter could land and loaded there and taken to the hospital.
My injuries were as follows: The left elbow was cut completely open and exposed, Broken right foot, Broken right and left wrist, broken left pinky finger, broken jaw in two places on the outside near both ears and shattered chin in the front. My lower jaw was dislocated on the right and left and were pushed up into the scull and my right cheek bone under my right eye was broken and had to be wired back together also my right nasal passage was damage. ( I was Lucky!!) I spent the next six days in the hospital and was lucky enough to only have one surgery so far. My mouth was wired shut for 6 weeks and wore the wires and steel bars with heavy duty oral rubber bands on my mouth for another 3 weeks to pull my chin back into place and hold it there with rubber bands. I spent 2 months in a wheel chair and then crutches for a few weeks.
After about 6 weeks a friend called to tell me about a product that might be able to help. I told him that I was having a terrible time getting out of bed and that from the fall my back and other parts of my body were so sore that I just didn't want to even get up.
I told my friend that recovering from this fall that I did was so difficult for my body and all I wanted to do was sleep (partially just to deal with the pain). I would become extremely tired after about 2-4 hours and would have to take a nap. I had absolutely no strength.
When I started the Noni Juice I cut out all the pain medication and everything else I was taking in order to see if the Noni juice would truly help me. I began taking the Noni Juice as soon as I could and didn't notice any real changes the first few days, but on the fifth morning after being on the Noni juice I had a very distinct change. I got out of bed by myself and raised right up! I couldn't believe it was the Noni Juice, but stayed on the product. In fact I increased the doses to two ounce in the morning and two in the evening with a one-ounce dose at lunchtime.
The results I received were incredible. Immediately I was able to stay up all day and sit at the computer and work. I was able to type one finger at a time and began feeling better and better every day. After about a week I was Popping out of bed every morning at 7 am (with no alarm clock) and would not need a nap all day and work until 11-12 p.m. all the time. This is the first part of my experience.
Shortly after this time period I had all the remaining wires bars and rubber bands off of my mouth, but during the process of positioning my chin the doctor noticed that the front of the chin was not closed up. At that time the doctors' instructions were to stay on the liquid diet that I had been on for so long. We were to wait one month to re-examine this area to see if I would need a bone graph to close the chin. I stuck with the Noni Juice and at that next Visit I told the doctor what I was doing before the exam. After the oral exam he told me he was very, very happy with the results and that if we stayed on the liquid diet and continued what I was doing that we probably would not have to do the bone graph at all. To say the least I was elated! I would advise anyone who might be undecided on starting the product to not hesitate one minute.
