When circulation within the heart muscle gets shut down, people have what is called congestive heart failure and are basically unable to function. This condition makes the mechanics of the heart just drop down to a very inefficient level. What has to be done is to inject a gene that produces blood vessels into the muscle of the heart. During the first trials of this experiment, we used 15 patients and all were helped. A number of them had been bed ridden, but after gene therapy they were able to return to a completely normal life.
Soul therapy is our spiritual side.
It's a real inspiration to stand at the Crystal Cathedral with Dr. Robert Schuller as those enormous windows open and the sun and wind come in and touch you. The most difficult thing about what I do is working with children who are dying. Children are such little heroes and their parents are extraordinary people. While these children may not be at their physical best, they are always at their emotional and spiritual best. It's amazing to see how these parents react under a real crisis and still devote their lives to their child.
