Kate Adamson is the author of Paralyzed but not Powerlesswhich tells of her experience with medical professionals who wanted to let her die after a double brain stem stroke left her completely paralyzed and unable to speak. Her doctors said she was in a “persistent vegetative state” with no hope of recovery. Surprizingly, Kate Adamson was the speaker at the Respect Life Prayer Breakfast in Scranton, PA in 2006 discussing her experience. In Kate’s words, “I won the miracle trifecta by beating million to one odds against living through the night, million to one odds against speaking again, and million to one odds against walking. I miraculously regained my active and fit life.”
Kate’s life is a testament to the fact that doctors cannot predict the future. Ms. Adamson fought for life and was recently featured on Good Morning America and the June issue of Prevention Magazine. She is one of five finalists in a nationwide “Picture of Health” contest with Prevention magazine and ABC News Now competing for a prize of $10,000. I have met and had lunch with Kate and she is a dedicated wife and mother and is also dedicated to the pro-life work which God has set before her. Please vote for Kate before May 25th at 8:59 p.m. (Pacific Time)by visiting the following link: Prevention Finalists: "So what is the picture of health? How about alive instead of dead!
In 1995, I was a fit and healthy mother of two. I had an ideal diet: no processed sugar, low fat organic foods, whole grains, lots of veggies and fruit. I was 5' 3'-- weighed 116 lbs with a body fat ratio of 12%. I worked out five days a week. If you wanted to see a healthy lifestyle, all you had to do was follow me around." Then a stroke left her completely paralyzed and Unable to Speak.
