Dear Dean,

        Anne McLeod, my sister, now 63 years of age, is a victim of Cerebral Palsy with a left spastic hemiplegia.  She was born by cesarean section, apparently uneventfully, but with a general anesthetic and 1934 technology and science; general hypoxia at birth remains the opinion of choice.  Although her memory has been excellent, she has had general ‘slowness’ in expressing herself, and was never able to keep up in school, falling behind several grades, needing special help, but subsequently did see her way through high school.  She has been dominated by an overprotective mother to this day, the two of them living together in the same house in a very symbiotic relationship.  Anne, having one functioning upper extremity, and a very slow pathological gait as well as a mental ‘slowness’, has been unemployable all her life.  She did marry, had two healthy children; the marriage lasted only a few years, leaving her subservient to parents and continuing to live where she does today, with the one surviving parent.

        The neurological deficit has affected her entire left side with a spastic (dominant flexion) paralysis, left upper and lower extremities.  Her left upper extremity assumed a chronic elbow-wrist-hand flexion attitude; attempt at active function would result in strong athetoid overactivity, particularly of the hand and wrist.  The toes of her left foot remained in a spastic flexion curl; she could with difficulty, against spastic resistance, actively raise the foot to neutral.  She cannot run, has not been able to take part in athletic endeavors, walking itself has been difficult, let alone handling stairs, with spastic lag and clonus.

        Although mental slowness and difficulty learning has been well demonstrated, her personality development is marked by over protective parents (63 years worth) that makes any mental changes difficult to assess at this time. There is no obvious speech defect.                                                

        Four years ago she sustained an undisplaced fracture of her left ankle that was casted.  She was left with severe swelling of the left lower extremity, particularly below the knee, that has made ambulation even more difficult, and limited.  The degree of swelling has remained unchanged for the past four years.                                                                                                                                                                                           

        Over this same period of time she as experienced progressive symptoms from osteoarthritis, both knee joints, as well as chronic “bursitis” (impingement syndrome) of her left shoulder.  She is chronically obese with an extremely sedentary existence, with a recent history of hypertension controlled with a mild diuretic.                                                                                                                                                                                 

July 5, 1998.   Magnetic Molecular Energizer (MME) therapy initiated.                                                                                                                   

        1)  Focus:  Brain 

   Day 1:  Experienced ‘tingling’ down entire left side.

   Day 3:  Could hold a glass of water steady in her left hand and could uncurl the toes of her left foot … a lifetime first.

   Day 4:  Slight pins and needles feeling down her left side with progressive improvement in conscious control, particularly her left hand.                         AAthetoid response disappearing.

   Day 5:   Full conscious function of all muscle groups both left upper and lower extremities demonstrated except for persisting tremor of left index fi    finfinger in extension.

   Magnetic therapy to brain discontinued after 5^th day - Time:  12 hrs/day for 5 days.  Total: 60 Hours.

            2) Focus left lower extremity

           By the end of the treatment, conversation with her was a totally different qualitative level than it had been all her life.  Conversation is with qquicker responses, and and the responses qualitatively more astute.  Conversation is now more ‘eye to eye’ and not my being patronizing to her.

           She was sent home with a MagnetiCo Sleeping Pad to assist in maintaining the improvement made and hopefully progressive gain as far as the aarthritic symptoms are concerned.

      July 18, 1998: Improvement of mental alertness continues; bright and directly responsive in conversation.  DEFINITE qualitative improvement,        aalthough 63 year old personality traits do confuse the issue.  No return of swelling, left leg, except some in left ankle with mild discomfort.  Pain in left sshoulder and knees continues improved but not gone. 

       July 28, 1998:   Mental “brightness and alertness” continue unchanged; improvement is maintained.  Tremor left index finger disappearing; strength aand dexterity improving.  She can catch a ball, left-handed, turn a door knob, pick up anything she wishes with full control.  These are all left-handed lilifetime firsts.  She continues to walk with a limp, (not unexpected), but with conscious effort can walk normal heel-toe gait.  With continued exercise, pperhaps therapy, and conscious effort, this should improve, but when you consider al the different muscle groups involved in coordinated ambulation, a lilifetime of habit will be hard to change.  Again noted; the chronic swelling has not returned in the left leg, except to slight degree with mild discomfort   i in the ankle joint itself.  Requirement of medication for pain relief is no longer present as it was before treatment.

       There is obvious improvement in mental dexterity, but old environmentally developed patterns persist.  Only time will tell how this new mental ccapacity will affect her future development; in particular, how she and her mother interact.

        I will continue to monitor and report her progress.

        I believe what is most impressive is how rapidly and completely this cerebral palsy patient has responded to treatment.  Perhaps it is the diffuse n nnature of injury to the brain without apparent scarring that makes such rapid response possible.  Most importantly, there is now a hope, and a possible ffuture for millions of children whose minds and bodies don’t work quite right for them.    It is the total awareness of existence and the frustration of l illiving in a body that doesn’t work just right that makes life so cruel; from the cruelty of children who always need someone to pick on, the frustration of aalways falling behind, and the heartache of parents who love and try to protect.   It is for this in-between group of patients and those who care for t    ththem that this new miracle treatment can offer so much.  It offers a lifetime, and without so much as the toxicity of a drink of water.

                                                                                                            With kindest personal regards: 

                                                                                                            Donald L. MacNay, M.D.
