A story of Healing

through the grace of

Sri Swami Vishwananda

Healing from myositis ossifficans

The father of the child told this story the 15^th of January 2011. His son, called Haresh Burun, had his arm broken. The bone was not healing well and an abnormal growth could be seen on the arm. The doctor said surgery was required. The surgery was done, but a piece of the bone was still growing. The doctor said it was a disease called myositis ossifficans* and it could not be cured. The child’s arm was becoming bigger. The doctors said this abnormal growth would continue growing and that there was no remedy for this.

The parents, with their son, went to Sri Swami Vishwananda who put his hands on Haresh’s arm and made a prayer. After some time the parents went back to the doctor who checked the child’s arm and found that the growth had stopped completely to grow.

(story received from Pritalananda)

*myositis ossificans

[əsif′əkanz]

a rare inherited disease in which muscle tissue is replaced by bone. It begins in childhood, with stiffness in the neck and back, and progresses to rigidity of the spine, trunk, and limbs. The administration of diphosphonates1 may prevent the abnormal deposition of bone, but there is no cure after it has occurred. Metabolism of calcium and phosphate remains normal throughout the course of the disease.
