Early life

Born in Houston, Texas, on Thanksgiving Day 1954, Dr. Demartini was one of two children. Born with a birth defect he had to endure hand and leg braces early in his life and at the age of seven he was told by his first grade teacher that he had a learning disability and would never read, write or communicate and not go far in life. Diagnosed with dyslexia and a speech impediment he struggled at school and at fourteen he was a high school dropout, living on the streets and panhandling for food to survive. He moved to Hawaii at seventeen to surf and lived on the beach and there he contracted severe strychnine poisoning and almost died.

Attending a yoga course by Paul Bragg altered his life and he then began the process of rebuilding his life.^[9]
