Travis
was born with a very severe and unusual birth defect, and the sheer
fact that he was still alive at age 4 was by itself a miracle. After
his birth in Marshall, Michigan, he was immediately transferred to a
hospital better equipped to handle a baby born with part of his
brain outside of his skull. As survival was never expected, his
parents Debbie and Chad Taylor were put into a hospice program to
support them. When medical science had done all it could, the
Taylor’s placed their faith and trust into something greater than
themselves, into the hands of God. And Travis did not die.
As of
early 1997, Travis couldn’t walk, talk, feed himself, or communicate
his needs and wants, and doctors did not see much hope for
improvement. But the Taylor’s are people of deep faith, and they
always made sure Travis was supported by whatever the latest
technology was available for someone with Travis’ limitations, at
great expense to themselves.
It was
in February 1997, in Louisville, Kentucky, after one of my lectures
on Hemi-Sync and its powerful effect on learning and peak brain
performance, that Debbie Taylor approached me to buy a Remembrance
tape for her son. Driving home, she was doubtful that her husband
would respond favorably to her purchasing a "magic tape" as she
called it, after all they'd been through with Travis. So she
secretly played the tape in their son’s room on a boom box,
continuing all night as he slept.
After a
few days, on several occasions, Chad made remarks, and asked Debbie
if she had noticed how much more alert and active Travis was
becoming. She then told him about the tape and what she was doing,
and his response was pretty much what she expected. He questioned
her judgment after all they’d been through, and feeling they had
tried everything possible for Travis up until now. How could they
believe that something so simple as an audio tape would do anything
at all? Well, the Taylor’s were in for the surprise of their lives.
Prayers are often answered in mysterious ways, sometimes only known
to God. Within two weeks of consistently playing Remembrance for
Travis, he began to feed himself!
Chad,
now believing in Hemi-Sync , began to see further progress in
Travis. Next came language--within weeks, Travis’ first words to
anyone were "thank you." It happened in a mall where a woman was
holding the door for Debbie. When Debbie thanked her, Travis echoed
her words. Debbie nearly fainted, then cried--her child had spoken
and had spoken clearly! In such a short time, he was communicating,
saying what he wanted, and saying his grandparent’s names after a
visit. Now, when Debbie tells Travis they’re going to go to day
care, he replies, "Yeah, OK!"
So,
what was happening? Hemi-Sync technology, a patented process of
sound-wave frequency application, in this case beta-harmonics, was
supporting the neurological function of Travis’ brain. It was
assisting and supporting his own mental functioning, like training
wheels on a child’s bicycle which supports the child until he can
ride by himself. Hemi-Sync is known to increase electrical
neurological functioning in such a way as to bring the listener into
a "whole brain state", a peak performance state of brain activity.
With this support, Travis’ brain was able to start coordinating his
ability to think along with his physical actions.
Since
then, miracles and breakthroughs have come often for Travis. In just
a few months, Travis was singing along with a toy that plays Disney
songs! He also pulled himself up to a standing position and started
holding onto furniture--much like a child who is gaining the skills
of balance and walking. Even if Travis doesn’t walk, Hemi-Sync has
provided Travis with a life much richer in communication with family
and friends. Through this technology, he can do for himself much
more than anyone could have ever imagined possible.
We
personally think "thank you" are two words that hold heaven and
earth, faith and love, and the grace of God for us all in their
meaning. Miracles still do happen, and it’s been my privilege to be
a small part of this one!
"Thank
you Travis!
