Averaged 12 grand mal seizures per day	No seizures in 21 days and EEG done at Vancouver Children's Hospital showed significant improvement. Seizure meds decreased: Epival from 312.5 to 200 mg. Topamax from 37.5 to 12.5 mg, and Clovazam was discontinued

Became ambulatory, gait improved, with decreased spasticity and improved motor control, speech & swallowing. wwallowin sw Improvement maintained over follow up.

End Stage Cardiomyopathy: 74 year old female a 10% ejection fraction (percentage of blood that the heart ejects with each beat – nl is ³ 50%).
Pre-MME	MME to the heart
Multiple admissions with congestive heart failure	At 60 hours her lungs cleared and she was able to go off oxygen.
On max. treatment with Lasix (diuretic), an ACE Inhibitor (blood I vessel dilator), and Lanoxin (stimulates cardiac pumping function).	Sp Repeat echo at 85 hours: Ejection fraction from 10% to 23%
Disease so advanced and outcome so hopeless that a “Do Not Resuscitate” order was placed on her chart.	170 hours of MME was completed and she continued with weekly 10 hour sessions with ongoing improvement in strength and endurance, such that she could take walks and return to the golf course.
“My lungs are half full of fluid, and are continuing to fill – my doctor says there is nothing more he can do for me”.	“I felt a lot stronger, and now I’m hitting T-shots on the golf g golf course, and some pretty good ones too”.

60 year old male with heart attack 1/02: After recovering sufficiently to leave hospital it was necessary for the patient to be on nitroglycerine continually for angina pain. Perfusion studies of his heart showed one third of his left ventricle to be ischemic. Following treatment with DMSA and the Magnetico negative field only sleep pad the patient was able to discontinue nitroglycerine but could not walk beyond 100 feet without experiencing extreme shortness of breath. The patient was treated for 6 days, 14 hours per day with the Magnetic Molecular Energized focused on his heart, which resulted in complete recovery. This allowed him to run and work again. This recovery has been permanent so far. He says that “I feel like 20 again”.

60 year old male with blood pressure of 186/120: The patient did not want to take high blood pressure medication prescribed by his cardiologist. Therefore he was treated with MME to his heart for 8 hours over 10 consecutive nights (80 hours total). He took 500 mg DMSA before treatment each night. At the end of treatment his blood pressure was 120/80 and has remained there for one year.

Loss of sight, memory, personality, and cognitive reasoning.	Memory, cognitive ability, and personality back to normal, such that he could enjoy an independent life style.
Patient had received all recommended conventional and complementary treatments prior to his presentation for MME.	Sp Vision did not return and he enrolled in a school for the visually im impaired.

Pre-MME	350 hours MME to brain
Lazy eye with decreased vision.	Vision corrected

Pre-MME	MME to brain
12 years out from a motorcycle accident	Speech improved at 100 hours
Partial paralysis of the right side of the body	Leg function improved at 250 hours; now has sensation in right leg and arm

Pre-MME	MME to brain, 17-18 hours per day for 7 days.
23 year old, 8 months out from an automobile accident where he sustained crush fractures of the skull, multiple contusions of the brain and severing of the Corpus Collosum (mediates communication between the left and right sides of the brain). He was unconscious for 2 months. Upon regaining consciousness, it was found that he had no bilateral coordination of any body functions such as eyes, arms, legs or feet. It was determined by CT that the brain contusion had severed the Corpus Collosum. He had no short term memory, no cognitive reasoning ability, no smell and no taste. He had undergone 6 months of rehabilitation by physicians and physical therapists in Los Angeles. During that time he regained enough motor function to walk stiff legged like a wooden soldier. With concentration he regained some use of his hands. Bilateral coordination was still lacking in arms, eyes and feet. He had no sense of taste or smell and no cognitive reasoning or short term memory after rehab.	His eyes began to coordinate and focus on day 5. He read an entire book book during treatment on day 6. He read another book on day 7. By ha that time he could recognize smells and tastes. Cognitive reasoning retur returned. Short term memory returned. He could run with some oor dincoordination difficulty. On follow up he was home farming with his father ffather on his Montana ranch and continued to improve bilateral coordicoordination.

67 30 year old male with total paralysis (with the exception of the eyelids) due to a mid-brain (Pons) stroke eight years earlier.

Pre-MME

120 hours of MME to the brain, 3-4 hours/day over 30 days

The patients had been treated at several clinics throughout Southern California with the hope of achieving some recovery. Over the previous three years he had received hyperbaric oxygen therapy. The result of these eight years of post-stroke therapy was the recovery of some feeling and some motor function over the left half of his head.

Following MME all motor and sensory function to the remaining side of his head and neck was restored, allowing him to hold his head up, smile, and generally use facial expressions. The swallow reflex was restored. Some motor function to the whole body was restored, although he was not able to walk. Most sensation over the whole body was restored. Eye coordination was restored.

During a post-MME examination, it was noticed that his skull was dislocated and was pinching the spinal cord (he couldn’t experience pain pre-MME so this abnormality was not detected). When his skull was held in proper alignment, he had full function of his body. The patient was then referred to an orthopedic treatment clinic for proper alignment and fixation of skull to spine.

Comment: The patient’s speech had not recovered, but it is considered likely that it will return slowly, due to the fact that speech is learned. He may have to learn to speak all over again.

23 out of 32 patients (when this outcome data was culled) with post-stroke functional impairment have improved with MME.

67 22 year old male with partial removal of the spinal cord (surgical treatment for malignancy)
Pre-MME	130 hours of MME to the C4 to T1 region over 11 days
Eight months prior to beginning MME, this patient underwent surgical removal of a Class IV Glioblastoma of the spinal cord involving the C4 to T1 region of the vertebrae, leaving a small strand of neural tissue within this region. Cancer was still present, despite post-surgical radiation and chemotherapy.	Sensory feeling returned to both lower extremities, beginning on the 5^th day. Sensory feeling improved further as MME was continued. The patient had regained enough motor function of his lower extremities to walk behind his wheelchair, using it as a prop, pushing it ahead of him without need of assistance.
	4 months post-MME it was noted that some of the gain had been lost. An additional 120 hours of MME treatment was carried out over an 11 day period, with a return the lost motor and sensory function.
The patient was paralyzed from the waist down, with the exception of a sensory feeling in the right big toe, which corresponded to the sole remaining neural tissue in the C4 to T1 section of the spinal cord.

ARTHRITIS TESTIMONIALS

Linda F - "I was n a lot of pain and told I needed knee replacements in both knees because bone was rubbing bone. I was in so m much pain that I could not sleep and I could not walk through shopping malls. After MME treatment the pain left. I can sleep all ni night. When I get up in the morning I can start right off walking. It has been three years. It is great not to hurt anymore and be able able to sleep”.

Louise C - "I had 2 bad knees, with one so bad I could hardly walk. I did the MME treatment. With the vitamin supplements and the MME I am able to walk again”.

Mary J: “I’ve had various operations on my back due to a fall that I received in 1983… and I also have arthritis. I was a firm b believer that nothing was going to help me, because I had tried and nothing worked. After 100 hours of MME treatment my pain was was gone. My depression was gone. I lost weight due to the metabolic rate that the magnets sped up. I feel great. It has been been quite a few years and I still have very little pain. I am pain free, healthy, happy, and a firm believer".

Four Autistic patients have been treated with MME. All four have improved.

Hundreds of autistic children have improved following Mercury detoxification (with DMSA and/or DMPS) coupled with nutritional interventions. As MME is felt to assist with metal detoxification and regenerate nervous tissue via stem cell stimulation, it is not a surprise that MME may be helpful in autism.

Two children with treatment-resistant autism are tentatively scheduled to be treated here later this winter.

32 of 36 patients with sport related injuries have improved markedly with MME treatment. Fractures heal in 1/3 the usual time.

A college quarterback for a nationally ranked team with a non-healing clavicle (collar bone) fracture was able to heal with MME treatment and pass without pain.

An internationally ranked professional tennis player was treated with MME for 5 ½ hours for a chronic tennis elbow and went on to win the Australian Open. She was later treated for 6 hours for carpel tunnel and shortly thereafter won the US Open.

A semi-pro goalie for a soccer team had numerous hip pointers and after overnight MME treatment was able to play the next day.

Medial collateral ligament tears heal in about 45 hours.

A fullback who had played at the University of Pittsburgh, when trying out for the NFL draft, tore his hamstring. Following 38 hours of MME he was able to finish the tryout with the Pittsburgh Steelers; following 22 more hours he was signed by the Carolina Cobras of the AFL.
