"After a severe cerebral-hemorrhage, my husband , Franz, was placed for seven weeks in an artifical coma. When he awoke, he couldn't move the right side of his body, not even one finger.  Joshua visited him every day in the Murnau Hospital and stretched each finger and joint of the hand and wrist.  After the third treatment, Franz could move one finger and squeeze his hand.  Franz continued to make progress for the next three months working with Joshua.  Now, two years later, he is able to do all the work in the house and garden.
After my stroke last May 2008, I was physically disabled (spastic movements) on the left side.  After falling in October and shattering my right shoulder, I was practically unable to use my hands.  Our good friend, Joshua, visited us and began to work on “reconstructing” my body.  Every morning he moved each finger, each joint of my hand; every single toe on each foot.  After Joshua “treated” our household, he shopped and cooked for us.  I have always thought that heaven sent Joshua to our small wooden house in Bavaria.  Both Franz and I have made great progress in working with Joshua who is understanding, knowledgable and considerate.  Despite our afflictions and difficulties, we still had lots of laughs and good times.  I still remember Joshua’s instructions and we keep him close in our hearts.  Joshua, your magic hands, sent from heaven … words can’t express our thanks …"
