  • God bless, I jerk from seizures petit mals their called but WOW, this is much worse. I'm so glad that the surgery worked for him!

  • Actually with many people, they can be shut off after some time and the effect continues.

  • i get these same symptoms but they only come on every now and then . whats that mean?

  • did you notice the lighted pyramid in the beginning seconds, with the capstone missing?

  • I would like to try to cure this disorder, I have an idea I'd like to try, I think it would work. Really sad when they show the artificial additions to his body. He is standing straight but kill the tech and he's back, like flipping a switch. These guys are smart the guys who created the devices are genius.

  • can't believe some of you are even talking about the scars...I read the comments before seeing the vid and was expecting them to be large and gross...but they were nothing at all...god women get worse scars than that just by having a baby..

    So pleased he's able to get his life back

  • Who cares about scars when your life has been given back to you. My husband has scars but they are badges of his new life. Our new life.

    If it is that frightening, there is always plastic surgery.
