Stephanie Currie was 7-years old when she was successfully assessed and treated at by NeuroKinetics. At 14 months of age, Stephanie had begun suffering violent Grand Mal seizures (up to 10 clusters of 50 seizures per day), diagnosed as intractable myoclonic epilepsy by her paediatricians and neurologists.
Following numerous tests including muscle and skin biopsies, MRI and CT scans, doctors were unable to determine the cause of Stephanie’s seizures. After having undergone all the tests, they did not identify a specific reason of what was causing the seizures. They then put her on a combination of anti-epileptic drugs which was all basically that they could do.
Stephanie was very lethargic, had extreme difficulty keeping her balance, and was generally unresponsive to everything but for her favourite television show. She had almost uncontrollable multiple seizures throughout the day requiring almost constant supervision. Her facial expressions indicated intense physical and emotional suffering. She was also constantly sleepy from all of the medication she was on.
Other challenges included one parent had to quit work to care for Stephanie, and the high costs of her treatment and medication. The heavy epileptic medication that was prescribed totalled over $300 a month.
It was later believed to be triggered by a vaccination shot received shortly after experiencing a head concussion. Her medical history and NeuroKinetics pre-treatment neurophysiological test results were consistent with a post-traumatic Postural Deficiency Syndrome (PDS) including postural, ocular-visual and balance control disorders originating from within the brain. This assessment also showed that the overall symptomology was resulting from reversible brain dysfunctions rather than permanent brain damage. Her immediate responsiveness to NeuroKinetics’ treatment confirmed the findings from the assessment. Both of Stephanie’s parents saw an obvious change in their daughter even after the very first treatment at NeuroKinetics.
Within a few weeks, her Grand Mal seizures were gradually reduced to zero. Stephanie’s mother stated “She responded very well. I think she connected a bond with Dr. Souvestre. I think she likes him and she feels secure and she doesn’t fight it when he is actually doing the treatments.”
She was able to become drug free within a few months. She still suffers from occasional minor tonic seizures, which appear to be related to her hypersensitivity to well identified triggers such as significant fevers and stressful environment events such as temperature and moisture changes or physical exposure to some medical tests (MRI, CT scans and EEG tests). Thanks to the financial assistance of the Better Days Society, Stephanie was able to continue her treatments at NeuroKinetics.
Stephanie’s father, Loren says of NeuroKinetics treatments “Philippe’s procedures are totally non-invasive which means they required no drugs or no surgery at all.” She has made immense improvements that previously were deemed not possible by other medical professionals.
Her parents noted “We envision in the future that she will be able to walk and talk and lead a normal life and be able to play with her brother.”
