The "X" in means that it is beyond numbers/trends... it represents the endless possibilities in improving health.
THIS is my ePatient Ignite! Talk, "Music Inspiring Health: Utilizing What You Love". I have performed all my life and have set foot on many stages but this stage and this message was unlike any other. This was my most vulnerable, most emotional, this was all of my heart.
THIS is my story on my journey so far living with a neurological disorder/condition, even considered a rare disease, called Cervical Dystonia, and what I have gone through to now become an engaged and empowered patient. My story involves music as my medicine: through singing, through my American Idol experiences, and through PASACAT Philippine Performing Arts Company, a company I am part of that has healed me and continues to heal me in so many aspects.
THIS, is for all of you.
