Patrick’s son Andrew was hitting himself more than 1,000 to 2,000 times per day, while at the same time Patrick was recovering from his own health battles.  Recovering from a traumatic brain injury during his heart attack, while desperately trying to help his son, led Patrick to a team of non-traditional healing specialists; with an array of strategies that kept adding “pieces to the puzzle” to help them both become stabilized.

An Applied Kinesiologist used AK techniques, Red Light Laser therapy, and supplements to treat leaky gut, mitigate his chronic encephalopathy, and his inability to stay asleep.  Meanwhile a Nutritionist and Feeding Therapist helped to manage unique challenges associated with his Feeding Sensory Disorder - which caused his inability to chew food.

After moving from California to Florida, a Functional Medicine Doctor used a PEMF/Infrared/Grounding mat that helped minimize seizures and improve sleep quality.  Patrick also found some solutions independently - including Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, a Vagus Nerve Stimulator, and an herbalist at his local farmers market - all of which have delivered invaluable “puzzle pieces” to help both Andrew and Patrick.

Andrew is much more stabilized - with very rare seizures and minimal self-injurious behaviors.  He is off antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications, while Patrick is also now off several medications that were causing brain fog and interfering with his own recovery of memory and cognitive functions.
