“I Survived 9/11 Twice”: Jamaican-Born Engineer Shares His
Journey to Healing in New Book
New York, August 29, 2024 – “I survived 9/11 not once, but twice,” says Oral Patrick, a Jamaican-born consultant, engineer, and former employee of the World Trade Center. “The first time by being fired from my job; the second time by overcoming severe health issues after exposure to the Ground Zero site.”
Patrick recounts his remarkable journey from narrowly escaping death on September 10, 2001, by losing his job just one day before the attacks, to battling multiple health issues after volunteering at the site in his new book, Restorative Healing Begins With Rest: Overcoming Breathing Difficulties and PTSD After 9/11 Exposure. Co-authored by his daughter Deborah Patrick, the book details his transformation from illness to health through holistic healing methods.
Restorative Healing Begins With Rest chronicles Patrick’s health struggles, including respiratory problems, skin rashes, and prediabetes, following months of volunteer service at Ground Zero. Conventional treatments failed to improve his condition, leading him to explore natural healing techniques. Through rest, meditation, and lifestyle changes, Patrick successfully restored his health.

Body
"...the body has an innate ability to heal itself, and it is constantly attempting to heal itself and return to a place of balance, homeostasis, and rest." (Page 1) |
Mind
"We essentially live in an environment created by our thoughts... envision a future based on our true passions and feel the emotions of having and living those passions." (Page 33) |
Spirit
"...we constitute the collective consciousness that transcends time and the material world. This consciousness finds its expression in love, laughter, light, and life." (Page 66) |
"All the systems of the body naturally move toward balance, homeostasis, and health when given a chance."
