The boy is HEAlED, say HALLELUJA! Therapy making waves for little boy ÿ By BOB FRENCH Staff Writer ÿÿÿÿÿÿ From a stroller, 6-year-old Michael Sayih looks up and smiles at his mother. He reaches up with his right hand, straightening his arm, to squeeze his mother's hand. ÿÿÿÿÿPatty Sayih smiles back. ÿÿÿÿÿ"This is very good," she says. "His legs are straight. He's holding my hand. He talks to me." ÿÿÿÿÿThese are milestones for the Coral Springs boy, who doctors doubted would ever walk or talk. Michael was born two months premature with cerebral palsy, a neurological disorder caused by brain damage. ÿÿÿÿÿThe cerebral palsy left him unable to uncross his legs, use his hands, speak, or sleep through the night, for most of his six years. Patty Sayih searched for an answer. ÿÿÿÿÿNow she says she may have found an answer through experimental treatments that involve the use of low-frequency electromagnetic waves. The treatments are part of case studies being conducted at Pioneer Services International Ltd. in Boca Raton where Michael has been going since March. ÿÿÿÿÿ"A friend told me about it. We came here for the first treatment and that night he slept through the night," Sayih says. "I decided that if nothing else, I'll take that." ÿÿÿÿÿIt was a turning point for her son. ÿÿÿÿÿ"When you have a hurt child, you're in a mission mode," says Sayih, who also has a son Adam, 7. "I cried until I couldn't cry any more and I prayed until I was prayed out. Then I just said, 'Guide me to something that can help.' " ÿÿÿÿÿSince going to Pioneer, Michael has had 16 treatments, which consist of sitting in an easy chair inside a carpeted booth. The booth's walls contain coils that produce a weak electromagnetic field that penetrates his body. ÿÿÿÿÿThe waves, according to inventor Jerry Jacobson, a retired Jupiter dentist, align cells in a person's body, helping them communicate with each other better. The device, called the Jacobson Resonator after its inventor, is undergoing testing in accordance with U.S. Food and Drug Administration procedures at the Pioneer Services' clinic near the West Boca Medical Center. ÿÿÿÿÿMichael's mother says the treatments have helped. He can use his hands. The right hand is no longer constantly balled in a fist. His legs are looser and uncross. And he is talking.
