Approximately 125,000 Americans suffer from dystonia. The condition is a result of the brain firing abnormally, sending impulses of electricity to muscles that causes them to contract constantly. The treatment Veronica's doctor, UCLA neurosurgeon Dr. Antonio DeSalles, recommended was to surgically implant a pacemaker device to stop the impulses and block the transmission of electricity to the muscles.

The procedure involves first implanting the electrodes and threading the wires into the patient's brain. A second operation connects the electrodes to a compact generator. The pacemaker is then programmed to battle the brain. More at http://www.uclahealth.org/body.cfm?id=930

  • Science and ...

    Science and religion work hand in hand. Religion has been scientifically proven: Dimethyltryptamine. Religion could have cured her with some ayahuasca by a real shaman. Ayahuasca is known to cure diseases like that.
