Welcome to my blog! Bear with me as this is the first time I’ve done this so I’ll hopefully be updating and improving this blog over time but for now, I wanted to put something out there for you all to see.
I decided to have this blog and share my thoughts and experiences publicly for a few reasons. First, I don’t want to bombard people with numerous long emails and I figure this way you can learn about my status as you like. Second, I want to outline this process I’ve undergone, to highlight milestones and achievements, describe challenges and setbacks, and chronologically capture steps of my recovery. Third, I want to discuss and share the differences and similarities of the conventional medical approach (what my medical insurance told me to do) and alternative approaches, ideas and treatment styles that I have undertaken. And last but certainly not least, I hope to be one small resource for other SCI patients and shed some light on the decisions I’ve made and the impact they’ve had on my recovery.
I welcome your thoughts, suggestions and feedback, so please feel free to leave a message or shoot me an email.

Querido Arash,
Just read about your journey and got to the website through FB. Thank you for such a BEAUTIFUL message, so full of wisdom. I was a little girl, but I remember well to see my mother feeling much beter when using cupping therapy for spinal disorders home. Time went by and some conservative doctors rejected her options, but my parents still think that alternative approaches are crucial.
You’re also very talented on inspiring important reflections Arash… I’ll certainly follow up the upcoming good news!!!
You’re an illuminated messenger. I’ll always have you in my heart. Keep shining!

This blog follows Arash and his compelling and ongoing story of recovery from spinal cord injury. Arash is a dear friend and talented writer who is putting his natural hopeful and confident tendencies to good use sharing this grueling daily journey to recovery. I urge anyone with an interest in the human condition or coping with their own unique recoveries to read along from the beginning and welcome this vivid writer and resilient man into their lives.
