Brain Injury Testimonials

"My husband has moderate brain damage resulting from a cardiac arrest four months ago (cerebral anoxia as a result of low oxygen for 14 minutes while the ambulance team shocked him 6 times to get his heart restarted). The main effects of his brain damage are poor long and short term memory, reduced attention and concentration, slowed mental processing and physical/mental fatigue. We purchased and started using the DAVID (with the "ADD" session recommended by you) once a day on Sept 27, and we are just now (a month later) seeing quite a dramatic increase in my husband's ability to remember both short and long term. This seems to be more than his previous curve of improvement (ie, a faster rate of improvement) so this could be due to the DAVID sessions. Ironically, although the "ADD" session is supposed to stimulate his brain, he finds the sessions very relaxing and sometimes falls asleep. He says he likes the sessions. We are very gratified by this apparent increased rate of improvement, since all the rehab literature suggests that improvement gradually SLOWS over time, whereas we seem to be seeing a rather sudden escalation of improvement! Although this is not a "controlled" study (ie, we don't know what would have happened if we had never used the DAVID), it is logical to assume that the use of the DAVID contributed to this increased rate of improvement. We certainly think that direct brain stimulation therapy using the DAVID should be tried by other people with acquired brain damage. Hopefully, rehabilitation researchers will set up controlled studies on the potential benefits of direct brain stimulation."

from Shannan Baucom "My husband, Matt, got Encephalitis in 1999, and still today has the lasting effects this horrible illness bestows on its victims. He has had tremors, sleep problems, seizures, mood swings and many other issues. He has been on so much medication to try to control the seizures and his moods, and nothing has ever completely helped. We knew the seizures were intensified by stress and his moods, and knew his mood swings and stress were intensified by seizures. We were in an endless cycle with no way out. I found Mind Alive and the DAVID PAL and contacted them with questions about my husband's situation. Nancy at Mind Alive was awesome, and really helped me get the right product for my husband. He has been using the DAVID PAL for the last three months. The difference in my husband is amazing. His seizures have cut in halt (at least) and WOW the moods - it is like a weight has been lifted off of him and in return, me and the kids. I just can't believe the difference in his ability to control his mood swings now. What Nancy, Mind Alive and the DAVID PAL has done for me an my family can never be repaid. Thank you." Testimonial
from Connie Lewis
Greenup, Illinois, USA October 13, 1997 "I am writing to document our daughter's experiences with the DAVID Paradise Jr. Our daughter has been using the Paradise Jr. for the past four weeks. After using the Paradise Jr. for approximately two weeks we noticed that her auditory sensitivity appeared diminished to several sounds that have previously bothered her for the past 13 years. She has also been making new movements with her mouth and tongue when using the machine. On her last visit to the chiropractor, the doctor commented that her muscles seemed to be more relaxed prior, during and after her treatment. She had been using the Paradise Jr. for two weeks at the time of her chiropractic treatment. Due to the above mentioned changes, we have decided to purchase the Paradise Jr. and continue to use this for treatment for various aspects of our daughter's brain injury. Thank you for giving us the opportunities to experience the benefits of the Paradise Jr."
