No matter what it means, it certainly points to the fact she is not in a PVS
This was plastered all over the first page in Norway's largest newspaper today.
If you had been paying attention, you would know that Terri made a very loud noise, exactly after a person said to her (paraphrasing) "Say or do something because they are going to remove your feeding tube".
In this matter, you are no different than the millions of sheep who think Bill Clinton was a great president because he "did so much" for them, then can't actually name a piece of legislation or a significant act Clinton did while in office..
This was all over the internet on 3/18/05. I think I read it first in World Net dailey
You're right, this information was also posted to FR last Sunday afternoon along with news of nurse Carla Sauer Iyer's affidavit about Terri's condition. Both were out on the internet a couple of days it seems before Fox News (first of the networks) picked them up, did their own investigation and then aired these startling news items. Fox & Friends did an interview with Iyer on their show early this last week.
I'm not suggesting that the case has been made in this instance. I'm asking that if everything was clear that this was her wish, you would object to it.
I too, am very schocked the MSM has picked this up and decided to put it out. I don't believe this will change Greer's mind - I do agree she would have to stand up and walk out before He will do anything, but.....This is Easter weekend. The Lord triumphs over all - and Miracles have happened. With this finally going MSM - it is quite possible Greer will feel the pressure from the other side and have to at least issue a stay until further investigations can take place.Possible - not Probable.
Question: Does he really want to be the Judge who went down in History as Breaking law against Euthenasia - killing an innocent - siding with a murderer? I cannot imagine WHO is advising him, except satan himself - and why he cannot see what HIS life is going to be like down the road - I do not understand.
I know he has refused the financial records to be relaesed to DCF Florida - I wonder what that tells us? I know it sounds carzy - but you would swear this man is on Michael's payroll! I just do not get it.
Oh and did you see the arrogance on Attorney Felos's face on the news the other day? He acts as though he is quite tickled she is going downhill fast. These people are beyond words to me.
Has anybody found the Statute in Florida Law that says Jeb can pull her out , against a court order? I know staying within the law is important to him - as a Christian you are SUPPOSED to abide by the law of the land - however, this is one time I do believe the Lord would understand - AND... the Schindlers keep saying there is a Florida Statute claiming he can get her out against the court ruling. Has anyone found it? I have been combing the Florida law - as much as I can on-line - and I have not found it. Let me know please, if anyone finds it. JK

This information could save Terri Schindler Schiavo!
Please get this out to everyone NOW!
Terri's brain is not "LIQUIFIED"!
Terri's cerebral cortex is not missing!
Terri has a medical condition Michael Schiavo, George Felos, and many corrupt Judges don't want you to know about! Ditto for those who have LIED about Terri's brain all over television and in the media!
Last night, a neurologist was featured on television LIVE from the vigil outside the hospice where Terri is being illegally murdered!
He admitted, (for the first time on television), the name of Terri's medical condition, Hydrocephalus, but he LIED, saying it is NOT treatable, and that Terri could never get better with treatment! This is the same lie you have been hearing for so long - that nothing can be done for Terri. There is nothing further from the truth!
2 Neurologists State Terri Schiavo Has Hydrocephalus, a Very Treatable Condition
This Condition Can Be Caused by Head Injury and There is PROOF Terri Suffered a Head Injury!
One Neurologist Actually Examined Terri and Testified in Court
Listen to his BOMBSHELL information here!

MORE BOMBSHELL INFORMATION HERE!
Terri's CAT SCANS >From 1990 Show She Had Hydrocephalus Then!
She still has it and has been denied treatment for it!
New Evidence of Alleged Assault, Abuse Surfaces in Schiavo Case
By June Maxam and Ginger Berlin
© The Empire Journal
As Florida’s Department of Children and Families headed to the
Florida Supreme Court to appeal the ruling of Pinellas County
probate court judge George W. Greer’s interference in their statutory
mandated duties, further evidence of abuse and
possible attempted murder of Terri Schiavo has come to the forefront.

What Is Hydrocephalus? |
|||
|
Hydrocephalus comes from the Greek: "hydro" means water, "cephalus" means head. Hydrocephalus is an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within cavities called ventricles inside the brain. CSF is produced in the ventricles, circulates through the ventricular system and is absorbed into the bloodstream. CSF is in constant circulation and has many important functions. It surrounds the brain and spinal cord and acts as a protective cushion against injury. CSF contains nutrients and proteins necessary for the nourishment and normal function of the brain. It also carries waste products away from surrounding tissues. Hydrocephalus occurs when there is an imbalance between the amount of CSF that is produced and the rate at which it is absorbed. As the CSF builds up, it causes the ventricles to enlarge and the pressure inside the head to increase.

Margaret Juneman's Notes: Interview With Dr. Hammesfahr
These are notes from the January 7, 2004, Highway 2 Health Internet broadcast featuring Dr. Hammesfahr on Highway2health.net.
These notes were written by Margaret Juneman. Parenthetical statements were added by Joe and Margaret Juneman. [Lisa's comments are included in brackets.]
Dr. Hammesfahr is the first physician to treat patients successfully to restore deficits caused by stroke. His technique is approved by Medicare, and he was nominated in 1999 for a Nobel prize for this work which he started in 1994.
Dr. Hammesfahr has great success. Most doctors think a brain injury that has been there awhile is not treatable. He has had success with these cases and he is convinced Terri would improve. (Improvement should not be required for Terri to be allowed to live).
[Lisa's note: Michael Schiavo's behavior indicates that he is also convinced Terri would improve. He is so sure Terri would improve with therapy that he not only illegally prevents her from receiving rehabilitation, but he keeps her under armed guard for fear someone will give her unauthorized sensory input! The phony persistent vegetative state ruse is being maintained at all cost. It is no wonder that Michael, with the blessings and protection of the court, defies Florida law by denying Terri her legal right to rehabilitation.]
According to Dr. William Hammesfahr, world renowned neurologist:
Terri's feeding tube is for the convenience of nurses; not because Terri needs it. Terri does not drool. Liquid is the hardest thing to swallow, and she swallows 1½ to 2 liters of saliva a day.
Terri is not in a persistent vegetative state or coma. She is a living, thinking person who makes choices and decisions. This is terrible. They are trying to kill her. While Dr. Hammesfahr was examining her, he observed Terri chose to ignore her husband Michael and the person taking the video.
When Terri heard her mother's voice, she smiled and tracked her. Terri moved her arms and legs as Dr. Hammesfahr requested her to.
[Lisa's note: Dr. Hammesfahr mentioned that during his ten hour examination, Terri responded well to verbal requests to move, and even moved to the point where it caused her pain in order to comply with a request. He indicated that such movements are definitely not reflexive.]
(Videotapes show Terri reacting to people. These are at terrisfight.org. Scroll down to Videos of Terri.) A persistent vegetative state, by definition, allows no awareness of the world or ability to interact with the world.
(Note: We know all of the corrupt people in this case still have never acted truthfully/lawfully in determining Terri PVS, because, clearly she is NOT in a PVS, PLUS, judge Greer did NOT use Florida Statute definition of PVS! He, instead used his own made-up version, or perhaps it was Ron Cranford's definition, either way it was illegal!)
[Lisa's note: Judge Greer LIED and "found" Terri in a "persistent vegetative state" in clear violation of the Florida statue, which defines the term, "persistent vegetative state":
"Persistent vegetative state" means a permanent and irreversible condition of unconsciousness in which there is:
(a) The absence of voluntary action or cognitive behavior of any kind.
(b) An inability to communicate or interact purposefully with the environment.
[Real Player is needed to view the videos.]
(The video entitled,
"Asked to Open Her Eyes"
http://web.tampabay.rr.com/ccb/videos/Terri_Big_Eyes.rm
allows you to see and hear the examination. When she opened her eyes on command, the doctor said, There you go, good. Good! (Laughing) Good job! Good job, young lady, good job!)
(The video entitled,
"Tracking a balloon"
http://web.tampabay.rr.com/ccb/videos/balloon.rm
allows you to see and hear the examination. When she followed the balloon, the doctor said, Look over here, Terri. There you go. Can you follow that, Terri? There you go. Can you follow that at all? Can you see that? OK. Look over here. That's fine. That's it. Now come over here. You see that, don't you, huh? You do follow that a bit, don't you, huh? OK, look up here. That's good!)
Dr. Hammesfahr said the doctor who complimented Terri for following the balloon later testified in court that she was in a persistent vegetative state. Dr. Hammesfahr stated this is medical malpractice and attempted murder.
[Lisa's note: The doctor who told Terri she did a good job following commands obeyed The Plan when testifying in court that she is in a persistent vegetative state.]
Terri did not have a heart attack. There were no cardiac enzymes in her blood, and no abnormalities in her EKG.
Terri was admitted into the emergency room with a very, very stiff neck consistent with brand new injury to her neck.
[Lisa's note: Testimony given at a 2002 evidentiary hearing revealed that Terri was presented at the emergency room with an "extraordinarily rigid neck" described by one physician as "consistent with attempted strangulation." See: Court to hear petition to remove husband as guardian]
Dr. Hammesfahr had seen the combination of injuries Terri suffered (spinal cord injury, brain injury, and neck injury) one other time. That was in an attempted strangulation case.
A police report was sent to homicide. There was no follow-up; no investigation by police. Dr. Hammesfahr said Terri's situation is unique. He consistently sees wrong things happen to Terri. There is no law enforcement follow-up now for fear of stepping on toes.
Terri's bone scan revealed Terri was a victim of multiple traumas - doctors were mandated to report it. There was no history of trauma prior to her marrying Michael. The fractures had to happen after marrying him. First lumbar vertebra fracture is common when thrown against a table.
At first, Terri had physical therapy, rehabilitation, and speech therapy. Electrodes were planted in her brain stem. A month or two later, she was more responsive. She got better with rehabilitation. She spoke appropriately at times, saying such things as, "I am hungry."
When electrodes are implanted, there needs to be follow up because the electrodes could be the source of possible infection and hydrocephalus. If there is no follow up, one is risking further injury. No follow-up was given.
[Lisa's note: Michael Schiavo is causing Terri further injury by not permitting her to have necessary medical follow-up after undergoing experimental surgery! Of course this is illegal too, but he trusts the governmental euthanasia planners to see to it that he suffers no repercussions for habitually breaking laws in order to harm Terri.]
Dr. Hammesfahr said he never has seen so many people and institutions fail someone in so many ways.
[Lisa's note: When an extremely important facet of The Plan is in process, everyone falls into step...or else. Some, however, fear God more than certain governmental officials with satanic agendas.]
Terri's 1996 brain scan shows 75% normal brain tissue; not scar tissue. It is not all fluid. That report is bogus. Her cortex is not missing; not at all. Some areas are thinned, probably due to hydrocephalus, with the fluid pushing against her brain. She is functioningyears ago showed improvement.
[Lisa's note: Michael Schiavo . That is what is important. I have seen people a lot worse than her, and they are talking. A brain scan taken two and George Felos' remarks on Larry King Live about Terri's total lack of consciousness are obviously fallacious. Lying is actually a propaganda technique. It is often the case that the bigger the lie, the more easily it is believed.]
The EEG, (electroencephalogram, which is a test of brain activity), showed there was no recognizable brain activity. However, three doctors said she was restless. Muscle activity gives a reading, just as the brain does, producing artifact. By filtering out the artifact, the brain activity was also filtered out. The EEG should have been taken at her bed where she could relax. Judge Greer refused further testing. Dr. Hammesfahr said no further scan is needed because Terri is functioning, which obviously shows brain activity.
Judge Greer would not allow an eye examination, even though she is legally blind. She can only see objects 12 to 18 inches away.
[Lisa's note: Terri would be more responsive with eyeglasses. Of course such increased responsiveness would conflict with the judge's "finding" that Terri is in a persistent vegetative state, so Terri is not permitted any help with her visual difficulties.]
She is isolated even though her condition demands sensory input.
[Lisa's note: Michael Schiavo's insistence upon Terri being (illegally) kept in isolation is all for the purpose of making her appear as "vegetative" as they possibly can. Even with such outrageous abuse, Terri is still much too responsive for the euthanasia planners' comfort level.]
Terri's medical records, which are legal documents, were falsified. Detailed records of Terri's responsiveness were thrown away. Nurses who were not even on duty wrote fraudulent reports as though they had been caring for Terri.
[Lisa's note: Truth is an enemy when a "persistent vegetative state" agenda is being imposed on a person who is not in such a state.]
Why is it that Terri has to prove herself worthy of living? This is against the law in Florida. She is not in a persistent vegetative state. She is not terminal, even though she has been (illegally) in a hospice.
[Lisa's note: It is all about conditioning for the global government which is being instituted in stages in the United States. Worthy people (people who further the globalist agenda) live, the unworthy (people who do not further the globalist agenda) are deemed worthy of death. People are being conditioned to think of life and death in these terms.]
(If the judge were to order a swallowing test, strict care would be needed to ensure Terri were not sedated to the point she could not swallow. )
[Lisa's note: Excellent point. Terri could be sedated at times it is "crucial" for her to appear as "vegetative" as possible, such as during examinations. Perhaps she is sedated on the whim of the people managing her care. (This could be the main reason Michael will not permit Terri's parents to see her medical records!) If Terri is sedated, it is easier for them continue to perpetrate their "persistent vegetative state" ruse. I think it is amazing that even with all these ploys against her, Terri's natural beauty still shines through.]
(This is not about letting her die because she is not dying. This is about deliberately killing her: Murder.)
[Lisa's note: This is about seeking to murder Terri Schiavo, but it is more. It is a crucial test to see how much euthanasia conditioning the American people have already succumbed to. The euthanasia planners have broken laws, manipulated Terri's care and records to cause her to appear as "vegetative" as possible, and aided and abetted Michael in committing felonies, in order to try to have a targeted individual killed. What are you going to do about it?]

Ron Panzer's Notes: Interview With Dr. Hammesfahr
Startling details about Terri Schindler Schiavo Revealed!
Excerpt from the Hospice Patients Alliance Newsletter January 8, 2004
Notes on Wednesday nights' interview (1/7/04) with neurologist, William Hammesfahr, MD.
WILLIAM HAMMESFAHR, MD was interviewed Wednesday night on Highway2health.net by Ron Panzer, President of Hospice Patients Alliance. Dr. Hammesfahr is board certified in neurology and pain management. He has spent many hours directly with Terri Schiavo and reviewed the medical records directly. Dr. Hammesfahr unequivocally stated that Terri is absolutely NOT in a persistent vegetative state and definitely responds to instructions from those around her, that she makes choices and shows decision-making ability in how she responds.
Dr. Hammesfahr stated that the medical record was in a state of shambles when it was given, that it was out of order by date and that much of the medical record was never given to the Schindlers or Dr. Hammesfahr! NEVER! Dr. Hammesfahr stated that there are notes in the medical record by nurses who were NOT working at the time they stated they were caring for Terri. Also, Dr. Hammesfahr stated that parts of the medical record were completely missing! Dr. Hammesfahr explained that Terri's blood sugar level upon admission to the hospital was about 400 (373). When asked why it would be that high, since Terri was NOT and is not a diabetic, Dr. Hammesfahr confirmed that the emergency medical technicians who arrived by ambulance probably gave Terri D-5-W, a dextrose in water solution. Dr. Hammesfahr confirmed that EMTs would check a patient's blood glucose level as part of their routine, when assessing a patient like Terri who had collapsed. The only reason they would give D-5-W would likely be that they discovered upon testing Terri, that her blood sugar was LOW at the time of the collapse. Since Terri was not HYPO-glycemic and was not diabetic, a POSSIBLE explanation for Terri having LOW blood sugar at the time of her collapse is that she may have been injected with insulin.
Noted, of course, was the sworn AFFIDAVIT/testimony of a nurse who cared for Terri later on in the early 1990s, that Terri was found shaking, pale and agitated after a visit by Michael Schiavo. In that nurse's affidavit, the nurse stated that she found a vial of insulin in Terri's PRIVATE room. Since Terri did not have diabetes, there would be no reason for a vial of insulin to be in the garbage can in her room at the nursing home. Dr. Hammesfahr and I agreed that we had never seen any nurse or physician bring a vial of insulin into a patient's room when administering insulin. The standard of practice is to prepare a medication beforehand at the nurse's station, note what medication is given in the medication administration record, and then bring the syringe with the insulin in it to the patient, but NOT the vial.
That a vial of insulin was found in Terri's room is not normal practice even if Terri were getting insulin, but she was NOT and never was on insulin! Dr. Hammesfahr explained that, although Michael Schiavo admits to "shaking Terri up" Terri's injuries and condition are not explainable due to anyone shaking her head ... that her clinical condition would have been different if that was the sole cause of her brain injury. Dr. Hammesfahr stated that the type of injury and clinical condition Terri had at the time of her collapse could be explained by a possible strangulation attempt and/or an insulin injection combined with some form of attack or trauma.
Dr. Hammesfahr confirmed that no police investigation was done to look into Terri's condition, even after a bone scan (13 months after her collapse) revealed multiple TRAUMA and broken bones. Dr. Hammesfahr stated that the broken bones could NOT be explained by any form of bone disease, that these were ABSOLUTELY broken bones and that it must have been done through trauma, injury to her. Dr. Hammesfahr said that other physicians had also come to the same conclusion. Dr. Hammesfahr stated that Michael Schiavo kept these bone scans and other medical records secret for over a DECADE. [They were only released in 2002!]
Dr. Hammesfahr revealed that not only has Terri NEVER had a heart attack as widely reported in the major media, she also NEVER even had a cardiac arrest (her heart never stopped)! [she had arhythmias of the heart but not a "stopped heart."] He explained that Terri's injuries were multiple and showed injury TO her. He stated that Terri had marked injury to her neck which still exists today, and that he has only seen a similar injury, with spinal cord involvement as well as brain injury, in one case where a patient had been strangled. He stated that Terri had an L-1 injury to her spine, which he stated is common among persons being thrown against a table, for example. Dr. Hammesfahr confirmed that Terri could talk and was improving in the very first year when she was getting some rehabilitation (BEFORE Michael got the money), and that the medical records confirm, that after Michael got the money, rehabilitation was completely stopped!

LARRY KING LIVE INTERVIEW WITH MICHAEL SCHIAVO AND HIS ATTORNEY, GEORGE FELOS:
Aired October 27, 2003 - 21:00 ET
KING: Did they not accuse you of denying Terri any rehab treatment since 1993?
SCHIAVO: Let's talk about the rehab.
When this happened to Terri, I sued Prudential Insurance for her rehab benefits. She (AUDIO GAP) Bayfront Medical Center for three months getting extensive rehab...
KING: In Clearwater, right?
SCHIAVO: In St. Petersburg.
KING: (UNINTELLIGIBLE)
SCHIAVO: She spent three months there. Then, while she was there, we heard of this doctor in California here that was doing experimental surgery, implanting stimulators in people's brains in hopes to stimulate any activity.
Now, we were told with this, too (Ph) when this doctor looked at the CAT scans, that it was probably not going to work Because there's just no brain left. But I did it anyway, because I loved Terri. And I wanted to bring my wife back. I wanted to have my wife back in me.
So I flew her out to California by myself, with a nurse. And I spent a month there. They inserted the stimulator.
KING: Didn't work?
SCHIAVO: No, it eventually didn't work, no. The protocol for the stimulator was three months. I kept it on her for a year.
KING: Did she ever speak since 1990?
SCHIAVO: Terri never has spoken a word.
KING: So various types of rehab were conducted?
SCHIAVO: Right. When I got -- when I brought her back from California, I put her in a rehab called meddaplaques in Bradenton, Florida. They deal with only head injury, spine injury patients. They worked estentionally (ph) -- they had physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, recreational therapy. They worked extensively with Terri.
KING: Nothing?
SCHIAVO: Nothing. And her mother and father were there. And they heard this. They knew this.
KING: So accusing you of not giving her any rehab is false?
SCHIAVO: Right.
KING: OK. Let me get a break in and we'll come right back, Michael. And George Felos is with us as well.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Terri Was Talking At Mediplex!
These are notes from Terri's medical chart from early on, before her "husband", Michael Schiavo got ahold of the money awarded to pay for Terri's therapy and medical treatment, (which he subsequently ILLEGALLY spent on himself and his attorneys in efforts to kill her by lying in court repeatedly, including 7 years after begging for the money to get her all of the medical treatment and therapy she needed, he suddenly began saying that Terri had wishes to die)!
Before the jury awarded the money, and before Michael ever went to trial to get the money, Terri was getting some therapy at Mediplex, in Bradenton, Florida. Even Michael Schiavo admitted she was talking back then, as you will see from the notes below. Michael wanted to make it known she was making progress, was conscious, and responsive, so he could sue and get his hands on a large amount of money. He did sue and he lied under oath, stating it was basically Terri's fault that she collapsed, since he blamed it on a phony reason - that Terri had bulimia.
Terri never had bulimia, but this is what Michael claimed, though he claimed he did not know she had it. He claimed that due to the bulimia, Terri's potassium level was imbalanced, and that her doctors should have done a simple blood test to detect her low potassium level.
The reality is, potassium had nothing to do with Terri being found face down on the floor clutching her neck when paramedics arrived on February 25, 1990. Potassium causes damage by causing heart attacks, and Terri never had a heart attack!
These and many other lies have been used from the very beginning until now by Michael Schiavo and his attorneys, and the media has passed them along without doing proper research!
Also, since Michael had all of Terri's medical records sealed for years and years, without giving her family any access to them or medical information about Terri, no one knew that Terri really did NOT have a heart attack, nor that she was a victim of TRAUMA, suffered from numerous broken bones, which Michael never allowed treated, and a closed head injury.
She also had / has an unnaturally stiff neck, spinal cord injury, and brain injury. These 3 injuries are the same as another patient had who was a victim of strangulation, per Dr. William Hammesfahr.

3-15-91 Monthly summary ---
Ms. Schiavo was readministered the sensory stimulation assessment measure on March 13, 1991. The results show a slight increase in a few response areas.
Terry’s [sic] eye-opening responses and motor responses (which increased two points) are now both her strongest response output category. However, the vocalization response modality increased two points also. Terry’s tactile response remained her best sensory input category, as it increased 3 points, the other 4 response categories remained at about the same level.
These slight increases may be a result of the time change. The original test was administered at 8:00 a.m. right after she got up and the second test was given at 4:00 p.m.
Terry’s ocular cranial nerve function was assessed and the results indicated that her pupil sizes were large, she had a very sluggish response to light, the consensual light reflex was present but she had an abnormal response to accommodation, tracking, and a blink reflex. These responses are very similar to last month’s administration.
Overall her general responsivess score increased slightly from 19 to 23, but remains at a __ Level II.
These scores indicate a need for a sensory stimulation program and this is being developed. In addition, the SS_M will be readministered in one month. [signed -- a nice caring person]
3 - 28 - 91 Weekly note: Pt. was seen by psych [psychology? rather than psychiatry, I’m guessing] in the sensory stim program 1 X [one time], program started 3-25-91. The goal was to increase her localized responses to sensory modalities. Her best response was to almond extract (olfactory), otherwise she only responded by opening her eyes briefly.
Summarizing across the interdisciplinary team results show similar findings. In addition, the most response increases was to tactile stimulation. Tx [treatment] plan will be continued. [signed -- nice person helping Terri 12 yrs ago]
===END
Prayerfully submitted in hopes that this will help dear Terri, who is on my mind and heart, and her loving family -- hugs to you all. With prayers also that those planning evil against Terri might have their minds and hearts changed -- God is able. But even if He does not . . .

Now back to Ron Panzer's 1-7-04 Interview of Dr. William Hammesfahr, World Reknowned Neurologist:
Dr. Hammesfahr revealed that in the early years, Terri had had a very small device surgically implanted into her brain to provide therapeutic very low dosages of electrical stimulation to the brain, which could help Terri, and which DID help Terri when it was first started. However, after Michael got the money, Michael did not allow further attempts to help Terri in this way. In addition, Dr. Hammesfahr explained that the device (or any device) implanted, would normally be carefully monitored so that no infection would occur and no harm come to the patient. However, in Terri's case that was not done and has not been done.
******************************************************************************************************************************************************
Felos also said Terri Schiavo cannot recover, despite her family's assertions.
"If you look at a brain scan of Terri, where her cerebral cortex used to be is a black hole filled with spinal fluid," he said. "There is simply no hope of recovery for Terri."

Now back to Ron Panzer's 1-7-04 Interview of Dr. William Hammesfahr, World Reknowned Neurologist:
Dr. Hammesfahr revealed that Terri has at least 75% functional brain tissue and that the stories circulating in the media about a head full of fluid "only" are totally false. He has had patients with less brain function doing much more than Terri is doing, and Dr. Hammesfahr believes that Terri is being kept to a lower level of function by her being denied opportunities to do anything, have any rehabilitation, and that she her improvement is being sabotaged by her being kept in isolation, with very few visitors or other input. Dr. Hammesfahr revealed that Larry King had suggested to Michael Schiavo that he let Mr. King's news crew go in to film Terri, to settle once and for all what Terri's condition is, and that Michael REFUSED!
Dr. Hammesfahr confirmed that Terri has been sedated at various periods of time and that the sedation of Terri would make Terri less responsive, especially during an examination by physicians who would try to see what her condition was. He explained that physician assessments of Terri made when she was sedated would necessarily NOT be accurate, that they would UNDER-estimate her level of cognition and abilities. Dr. Hammesfahr also revealed that Terri suffers from some hydrocephalus, or fluid buildup in the brain. This is a serious condition that must be treated to avoid further damage to the brain. Dr. Hammesfahr confirmed that Michael has NOT allowed Terri to be treated for her hydrocephalus. [This is in violation of Florida guardian laws]
Dr. Hammesfahr, whose field is neurology, explained that an EEG (electro-encephalograph reading) test which did not show much brain activity was BOGUS! because it was done after Terri had been transported to a facility for the testing and Terri had been restless at the time, moving around quite a bit. Muscular movement during an EEG produces readings on the EEG which must be filtered out. Dr. Hammesfahr explained that by "filtering out" the EEG activity Terri had due to the muscular movements, those filtering that brain activity out had also filtered out Terri's brain activity. In other words, the EEG done was worthless because it was not properly done and several doctors have agreed with that.

CNN LARRY KING LIVE
Interview With Michael Schiavo (and Michael's attorney, George Felos)
Aired October 27, 2003 - 21:00 ET
KING: And you've made available for us a brain scan of her, right?
FELOS: Yes.
KING: Let's show that. And I saw the piece in "The New York Times" yesterday, in which a neurologist says that this is a brain- dead person.
FELOS: What you see in the middle of Terri's skull there, that black area is spinal fluid. That's where her cerebrum used to be. And because of the lack of oxygen, it atrophied and decayed away. What the court-appointed expert said that you can't get any more abnormal than this. Literally, her cerebrum isn't there anymore.
KING: We want to show this, the father was interviewed on CNN last year. And you have said some things about him, so we want to get just the response concerning you and then we'll pick right up. Here is Terri's father.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
BOB SCHINDLER: I think it's a terrible injustice to her what he did to her. To leave her in -- to abandon her like that, for all those years. My God, for any human being, you know. You don't treat animals like that. I mean, this girl was literally, you know, cast aside. And he's going on with his life. (END VIDEO CLIP)

What Is Hydrocephalus? |
|||
|
Hydrocephalus comes from the Greek: "hydro" means water, "cephalus" means head. Hydrocephalus is an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within cavities called ventricles inside the brain. CSF is produced in the ventricles, circulates through the ventricular system and is absorbed into the bloodstream. CSF is in constant circulation and has many important functions. It surrounds the brain and spinal cord and acts as a protective cushion against injury. CSF contains nutrients and proteins necessary for the nourishment and normal function of the brain. It also carries waste products away from surrounding tissues. Hydrocephalus occurs when there is an imbalance between the amount of CSF that is produced and the rate at which it is absorbed. As the CSF builds up, it causes the ventricles to enlarge and the pressure inside the head to increase.

Now, back to Joe and Margaret Juneman's notes from Ron Panzer's Interview with Dr. Hammesfahr on 1-7-04:
Dr. Hammesfahr pointed out that Terri was also tested with balloons to see if she would follow the balloon with her eyes and head when instructed to do so. Dr. Hammesfahr pointed out that Terri did follow the balloons when instructed, and that she did so, even though turning her head far enough to the side caused her pain. He pointed out that reflex actions are usually to avoid pain, but in Terri's case she turned her head into painful positions in order to follow the instructions of the physician testing her. Dr. Hammesfahr confirmed that several experts in neurology agree that Terri could improve, can improve and that everything that should be done for her is NOT being done. In fact, Dr. Hammesfahr confirmed that the isolation and deliberate removal of all stimulation from Terri is harming Terri, depriving her of the input and stimulation which would help her reach a higher cognitive level and ability. He stated that Terri should be getting much exposure to sights, sounds and other forms of rehabilitation.
Dr. Hammesfahr explained that Dr. Ronald Cranford (who testified for Michael Schiavo and George Felos' side - the right to die agenda) ... that Dr. Cranford was NOT a neurologist and was not an expert in the field. Also, that Dr. Cranford spent less than ONE hour with Terri totally! Yet the court relied on Dr. Cranford's testimony, rather than several other neurologists, including Dr. Hammesfahr. [The court was not gathering information in order to rule based on fact, it was simply following an agenda.]
Dr. Hammesfahr explained that as a physician and a person, he is outraged at the mistreatment Terri is receiving and that the denial of rehabilitation for Terri violates the standards of medical practice!

[end of notes on the interview - Ron Panzer]
The lower courts, 2nd District Court of Appeals (2nd DCA) have both stated and ruled that Terri will never get better, and that no treatments can ever help her. They have stated and written some of the most outrageous LIES regarding Terri, her brain, her cerebral cortex, etc. you will ever read, and they back up the OUTRAGEOUS LIES stated by Michael Schiavo and his attorney, George Felos. EEG was done wrong, probably ON PURPOSE, to erase/hide Terri's brainwave activity, and were used to determine Terri is PVS, (Terri is NOT PVS), can NEVER get better, AND THAT NO TREATMENT WILL HELP HER.
AMERICAN MORNING
Life-and-Death Battle in Florida
Aired October 22, 2003 - 07:18 ET
THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.
BILL HEMMER, CNN ANCHOR: Back to the battle over Terri Schiavo's life. Now that the Florida governor, Jeb Bush, has intervened, Schiavo has been transferred to a hospital, and a feeding tube will be reinserted. The battle, though, is far from over.
Schiavo's husband, Michael, has been waging a decade-long legal fight to have the tube removed. Michael Schiavo's attorney, George Felos, joins us live this morning from Dunedin, Florida.
And, sir, we appreciate your time. Thanks for coming on and talking with us. Good morning to you.
GEORGE FELOS, MICHAEL SCHIAVO'S ATTORNEY: You're welcome, Bill.
HEMMER: Michael says he knows what his wife wants. How does he know that and how does he characterize that?
FELOS: Terri had numerous conversations with her husband, Michael, and also with other family members. All three of those individuals testified at the trial, and the court found by clear and convincing evidence that Terri did not want to keep alive -- stay alive artificially. She said no tubes for me. I never want to be kept alive artificially. And the court's order was on the basis of her spoken declarations.
HEMMER: The family for Terri says all it takes is a bit of rehab and she will be brought out of the current state in which she's living. Why not buy that argument?
FELOS: Well, because it's not true. If you look at a brain scan of Terri, where her cerebral cortex used to be is a black hole filled with spinal fluid. There's simply no hope of any recovery for Terri.
HEMMER: Nothing at all you don't think.
FELOS: Well, not only me. The courts have found that the overwhelming evidence is that Terri is in a persistent vegetative state. And, of course, what we saw yesterday was just such a horrible tragedy for her. She was literally taken away under threat of force by the governor from her death bed. And we had the Florida legislature allow the governor, in essence, to override a person's individual medical treatment choices. I mean, her liberty suffered horribly yesterday.
HEMMER: Mr. Felos, a judge now has given you five days to respond to get a permanent injunction. What's your argument over the next five days?
FELOS: The argument is that the statute passed by the legislature is unconstitutional. Each of us, and the Florida Supreme Court, has said this: Each of us has a right to control our own body. We have a fundamental right to make our own medical treatment choices, and the state doesn't have a right to override our wishes. Just because the governor may believe that removal of feeding tubes is wrong, it doesn't allow him, nor does it allow the legislature, to say to a patient, we don't care what you wanted. We're going to force- feed you against your will, because that's what we believe. That's simply wrong, and we believe the court will find that law to be unconstitutional.
HEMMER: There was another argument that the court has handed down that has taken guardianship away from Michael. How has he reacted to that decision?
FELOS: Well, it's very unclear what this statute does. Michael is still guardian in name, but, in essence, the governor's council has said Jeb Bush has become Terri Schiavo's guardian.
And one of the consequences of his action, of course, you know, Terri was almost a week into her death process, and the doctors have said by reinstituting hydration and nutrition now artificially, she may have already sustained massive organ failure and kidney damage. And what this may have done is just prolong her death process, and instead of having a quick painless death, she may have a prolonged and horrible and physically distressful death.
HEMMER: George Felos is the attorney for Michael Schiavo. He's live in Dunedin, Florida. Thanks for sharing your part of the story with us, sir, this morning.
FELOS: You're very welcome.

FELOS: "Well, because it's not true. If you look at a brain scan of Terri, where her cerebral cortex used to be is a black hole filled with spinal fluid. There's simply no hope of any recovery for Terri."
Terri's brain is not "LIQUIFIED"!
Terri's cerebral cortex is not missing!
Terri has a medical condition Michael Schiavo, George Felos, and many corrupt Judges don't want you to know about! Ditto for those who have LIED about Terri's brain all over television and in the media!
Last night, a neurologist was featured on television LIVE from the vigil outside the hospice where Terri is being illegally murdered!
He admitted, (for the first time on television), the name of Terri's medical condition, Hydrocephalus, but he LIED and said it was NOT treatable and she could never get better with treatment! This is the same lie you have been hearing for so long - that nothing can be done for Terri. There is nothing further from the truth!
2 Neurologists State Terri Schiavo Has Hydrocephalus, a Very Treatable Condition
This Condition Can Be Caused by Head Injury and There is PROOF Terri Suffered a Head Injury!
One Neurologist Actually Examined Terri and Testified in Court

New Evidence of Alleged Assault, Abuse Surfaces in Schiavo Case
By June Maxam and Ginger Berlin
© The Empire Journal
As Florida’s Department of Children and Families headed to the
Florida Supreme Court to appeal the ruling of Pinellas County
probate court judge George W. Greer’s interference in their statutory
mandated duties, further evidence of abuse and
possible attempted murder of Terri Schiavo has come to the forefront.

BARE WITH ME … I AM TRYING TO SAVE TERRI’S LIFE!!! READ AND THINK – BEFORE CRITICIZING WHAT I AM SAYING!!!!
“Animals have developed muscles, making them capable of spontaneous movement (see locomotion), more elaborate sensory and nervous systems, and greater levels of general complexity. Unlike plants, animals cannot manufacture their own food, and thus are adapted for securing and digesting food. In animals, the cell wall is either absent or composed of material different from that of the plant cell wall. Animals account for about three-quarters of living species. Some one-celled organisms display both plant and animal characteristics. See also algae, arthropod, bacteria, chordate, invertebrate, protist, protozoan, vertebrate. … ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITTANICA.”
WE ARE FIGHTING TO SAVE A LIFE AS BEING ‘MAN’!!! MAYBE, WE BETTER BACK-UP AND ACCEPT THAT ‘WE’ (ALL OF US ARE SCIENTIFICALLY AND UNDENIABLY) – ARE LEGALLY DEFINED FIRST AS ANIMAL!!!!
I HAVE HEARD THAT THE FLORIDA STATUTES DEFINE AS BEING ILLEGAL: THE DENIAL OF WATER AND SUSTENANCE TO ‘ANIMALS’!!! THUS, SCHIAVO … FELOS … AND GREER …CAN BE ARRESTED AND CHARGED ON THIS ‘CRIME BASIS’!!!! AND THIS… WOULD REQUIRE THE IMMEDIATE REINSERTION OF THE TERRI’S TUBES!!!!
NO? YES!!!
Gregg
You are ignoring, or are ignorant of, multiple people who have attested to the fact that she did talk. For example, she would say "pain" when having menstrual pains.
In the face of that reality, I'm not sure why anyone is supposed to be impressed by your hand-wavy fever-imaginings regarding how "probable" you find it that someone with 80% of brain tissue (is that an exact number, BlackRain? 80%? By volume? Cite your source please?) replaced by spinal fluid.
What theorem have you discovered, exactly, regarding the relationship between Percentage Of Brain Replaced By Spinal Fluid and Whether You Can Talk? What is the cutoff? We know (from your brilliant findings) that 80% is above the cutoff. 79%? 75%? 50%? Do let us know. It sure sounds fascinating and of course you weren't just shooting your mouth off without knowing what you were talking about.
If she can't swallow -- an action that requires 24 highly coordinated muscles movements in her throat and mouth -- how could she possiblity form words?
You believe everything you hear in the mainstream media?
It's already been posted that only a few Doctors believe that her Cerebral Cortex has been replaced with spinal fluid - others suggest that it is severe inflammation and serious damage. The presence of fluid BETWEEN the "ribbons" does not mean that her cortex is gone. But the fact that I'm no Dr. means that I'm not an expert - but I don't trust the current batch of Dr.s in this case - especially when other doctors are not allowed to examine Terri (or to run tests that would be far more conclusive one way or the other).
And Terri CAN swallow - or at least she was able too before Michael Schiavo put a stop to the feeding of her by mouth. She wasn't chewing, but she WAS able to swallow liquefied foods, pudding, jello, etc.
