Horrifically Burned Child Now on the Mend

Specialists recommended skin grafts for severe 2nd degree burn, his parents chose Hakim Shabaz's all-natural approach and the results are astounding (graphic before photos at end after a long scroll).

Meet Suleyman, affectionately known as Sooley to his parents and friends, including my own children, a carefree young boy who fell in with a criminally careless older kid in his neighborhood, who decided to show him how to construct a makeshift flamethrower, which unfortunately blew up in poor Sooley’s face a couple weeks ago.

The photo you see at the top of this article is not the immediate aftermath which was too horrifying to post to everyone’s inbox, but is waiting below for anyone who has the stomach for viewing a severe 2nd degree facial burn, the likes of which I couldn’t find a representative example of anywhere online.

You can read the entire article to the end without seeing the photos, after which I’ll leave enough empty scrolling space for any tenderhearted readers who want to click away.

However I urge everyone to take a look and further to send the article to as many people as they can in as many ways as possible, because despite the horrific nature of what happened and what it looked like, not everything that’s horrifying is all bad and the point of publicizing this is that much benefit may come from it.

As Martin Luther King Jr once put it, “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.” Despite all the horrors around us, the mercy of the Divine is paramount, and much good invariably comes of what we initially perceive to be evil.

What makes this case so remarkable is that multiple dermatology and burn specialists recommended debridement (cutting away the dead skin) as well as skin grafting - the harvesting of healthy skin from a donor site, such as the thigh, or back, to place over the burned areas of the face.

If his parents had chosen skin grafting it would have been a harrowing experience with a far less than ideal outcome, to say the least I’ll include some typical skin graft results at the end also).

Not only are there are significant risks to the procedure including a failed graft, infection, permanent scarring, discoloration, mismatched skin texture, lack of sweating, permanent numbness of the transplanted skin, contractures, and lifelong facial disfigurement, there’s also the purposeful creation of a new wound at the donor site.

Now this modern medical treatment is all well and good only if it’s the best or only option.

However as with most of modern medicine, there are far better options that utilize the bodies own intrinsic healing capabilities, which Sooley’s parents ultimately chose to pursue with Hakim Shabaz.

Within 2 weeks of starting his all natural treatment, Sooley’s skin looks completely transformed and nearly normal aside from some remaining flushing. It’s expected that the residual inflammation will die down quickly, leaving completely normal, fully regenerated skin with no signs of the terrible burn.

I hadn’t been in town for a few years, and I hadn’t heard what had happened, so when I met Sooley and his father asked me how I thought he was healing 2 weeks out from a 2nd degree burn I assumed it must not have been much worse than a bad sunburn to begin with.

Later Shabaz sent me the before photos and the story and I was astounded as only someone who really understands what the alternative outcome with skin grafting would have looked like.

A close friend who is a hospital physician and whose children also used to play regularly with Sooley, was deeply moved by the photos and the outcome and inspired to begin looking for a way to end his mainstream medical career in place of a more natural approach, telling me:

“It’s just malpractice what we do, it’s like, it’s assault, we assault people. When you know that there’s a better way, that can not be associated with all this harm and is far more efficacious, but you don’t give that, you give what’s associated with more harm and is less efficacious, what is that? It’s at best malpractice.”

Not only would conventional treatment have had a terrible looking outcome it would have involved serious long term toxicity from all the ancillary lotions and potions they would have piled onto and into his body. Toxicity that would likely have eventually given birth to some future chronic illness.

Instead of toxic chemicals and scarring surgeries, he was given some simply dietary interventions and a natural topical treatment that resulted in a miraculous appearing outcome.

He was put on a mildly restrictive diet to stimulate a healing metabolism, eating primarily vegetables along with plenty of collagen rich trotter soup, powdered colostrum, and powdered tracheal cartilage mixed with ghee.

Simultaneously his parents applied a simple paste made from turmeric and castor oil to the wounds.

This simply regimen helped stimulate the body’s natural means of deep healing in the form of pluripotent stem cells that flooded into his face completely regenerating his skin from the bottom up.

Now imagine the initial horror of the parents and Sooley (who was shell shocked for days, as you can clearly see from the expression on his face captured in the before photos below).

At the first of this ordeal it would be hard to see any good in it for anyone involved. Yet now Sooley is well on his way to a full recovery physically, while mentally and emotionally he was properly supported, without engendering a sense of victimhood, so the trauma of the episode is also a rapidly receding memory.

Meanwhile at least one mainstream physician is already looking for the exits and I hope publicizing this case will lead to many more conventional physicians being convinced to take a hard look at their own practices in light of the alternative natural therapies available (and to at least take an honest look at the alternatives). Similarly I hope and pray that all the patients who have been systematically brainwashed into looking down on natural methods of healing will reevaluate their biases after seeing this case.

Most patients who have the fortitude to stick it out with Hakim Shabaz’s demanding protocols have some form of severe chronic illness and usually multiple, however in many cases, if you met them, or saw an interview with them you would have to take their word for it since severe chronic fatigue, depression, anxiety, many autoimmune conditions, ADHD, vaccine injuries, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, arthritis, brain fog, insomnia, chemical sensitivity, asthma and allergies, and many more, are often essentially invisible to the naked eye.

Not so this case.

Both the damage and the rapid healing are undeniable
