[Fopbc] Fw: FORUM FOR DISCLOSURES Siezure Disorder/Vaccination Reaction/The Benjamin Joseph Zeller story

I just saw this and found in fascinating. I wonder if the below-mentioned therapy would work for other disorders?

      The Drive-by Baby: 

      Little Benjamin’s Story

      Benjamin Joseph Zeller was born in Orlando, Florida on November 6, 2003. Because he was breech he was delivered by C-section, but everything else was perfectly normal; no complications during or after birth and we were out of the hospital in three days with a beautiful baby boy. Everything was terrific until he was 12 months old and Ben received his MMR and chickenpox vaccines. We were told by our physician that they were perfectly safe and the only side effect might be fever. Little did we know that Benjamin’s life would be permanently damaged. 

      Ten days after the vaccinations I was changing his diaper when he stopped breathing, turned blue and became lifeless. Luckily, my next door neighbor was an RN who performed CPR consistently. After three tries she got him breathing and then comforted me until the ambulance arrived. By the time we got to the hospital minutes later, little Ben was crying and alert, but started breaking out in a rash all over. The ER doctors said that my son suffered from a vaccination reaction and had probably suffered from a febrile seizure where, from a high temperature, babies lose consciousness and have seizure activity with shaking limbs. I had my doubts because his temperature that day was normal, and he didn’t shake or move at all. No, he was blue and lifeless, I said. I thought he had suffered sudden infant death syndrome. The doctors said not to worry; “this happens to healthy babies.”. They didn’t think any brain scans or an MRI were needed because he was crying, breathing and they could find no other problems, so I was told to give him Motrin every 6-8 hours for possible fever. 

      On Sunday Benjamin was rushed to the hospital because he was having seizures. Ever since his vaccinations he has suffered brain damage. They found central signal abnormality of the white matter of the brain, so that his newly developing brain cells could not communicate or develop properly because they could not send, receive, or remember the appropriate messages for proper growth. They finally concluded that he had delayed myelin deposition. Basically he was producing brain cells without a myelin sheath, the insulation that protects CNS cells. I was now told that Ben had a progressive degenerative neurological disorder or an unknown disease. It appeared that this disorder might cause him to possibly die because his entire neurological system could shut down over time. All the doctors knew to do was to prescribe more anti-seizure medications which were completely ineffective for my son. So they told me to up the dosages of the (useless) medications or to give him Ativan: good grief! The best that they could do was to recommend a strong tranquilizer for a 13-month-old. Ben had over 1,000 seizures in just four months, from 20-40 seizures every day. Still, the doctors gave us no hope, but I was determined to help Benjamin. 

      That’s when fate decided to drop in or better yet, drive by. In January of this year I was heading down Ocean Boulevard in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Benjamin was having a seizure, and this medical building caught my eye, the sign said something about brain recovery. When I pulled into the parking lot there was a guy outside wearing scrubs. I assumed he worked there and stopped the car. I said “My baby is having seizures, do you know anybody who could help him?” The guy in scrubs was Dale Wells, a hyperbaric technician for the Ocean Hyperbaric Neurologic Center. He told me to park the car and to come inside. He had something to show me. The first thing they did after they made sure that Ben was OK was to put on a video about CP and the brain injured child and then explained to me about HBOT and the treatment of children with seizure disorders. Everyone just wanted to help me and my beautiful baby boy. I don’t know who started crying first: Dale, Lisa B. (the nurse), or me. I think little Benjamin was the only one who wasn’t crying. I finally felt that there might be hope. In fact they offered to get us in to consult with Dr. Neubauer that very day. He told me that the cells in the brain don’t always die but just become wounded and inactive because of brain injury. 

       First he ordered a SPECT brain scan which clearly showed all of the areas of the brain where there was no blood flow and I started hyperbaric oxygen treatments with Benjamin right away.  The experience was wonderful and simple. I sat in the chamber with Ben on my chest and watched TV for a one hour twice a day every day. I didn’t ever think something so simple could benefit my son because of his complex condition, but after the 6th treatment I noticed a significant difference in the intensity of Ben’s seizures. At about the 20th treatment little Benjamin started having less seizures every day. It seemed as if every week his seizures were going away. Now, after 68 treatments, he has not had a seizure for 12 days straight. We continue to receive HBOT treatments every day. Ben is now able to start with physical therapy and all the other treatments that he wasn’t able to have because of the seizure activity.  

      HBOT is saving my son’s life. I want to compose a special THANK YOU to the entire staff at Ocean Hyperbaric Neurologic Center for their caring support and professionalism: “I truly believe everyone of you are chosen by angels. Dr. Neubauer and Dr. D. (George Daviglus,M.D.), I especially thank you for putting the time and effort to help little Ben. Dr. Neubauer, I will always admire all of the sacrifice you put into your patients’ care and the never-ending research that you have committed yourself to. Thanks for joining my son’s journey for a healthy life and making all the difference in the world to me and my family.” 

      Sincerely, 

      Little Benjamin J. Zeller, 

      Benjamin S. Zeller and Erin Zeller 

      An after note: Today, after I already wrote this story, my brother came to visit me on spring break from school. My brother is a high functioning 19 year old CP patient who’s doing great but still has some trouble walking and some minor cognitive problems. So, instead of me going into the chamber with Benjamin, I had my brother take him in so that he could receive the treatment too. I don’t know what to expect, but my brother’s thrilled and excited and because you only pay per treatment, it doesn’t cost me to get my brother treated at the same time. He’s going to treat with Ben every day while he’s here and then come back again when school lets out. Nineteen years old might seem kind of late to start treatment for an injury that occurred at birth, but in the UK, they treated a man with CP at age 59 with HBOT and he still made remarkable improvement (in clarity of speech, to the point that he was able to communicate via telephone for the first time in his life). 

      Thank you all and I’ll let you know how Ben and my brother are doing.
