ANEURYSM, COMA
BEFORE
Wife: "When he first had his aneurysm 6 months ago, we were told that the bleed was massive, and that he would never wake up. If by some miracle he did awaken, they told us that he would never be able to comprehend language or move any of his limbs, would never speak, never grip a hand, and would certainly never sit up, hold his head up, stand, or breathe on his own. The word
"vegetable" was used to describe his prognosis, as were the words, "permanently locked in!
AFTER
After 2-1/2 months of NVT, his wife reported that Neurovascular Therapy has changed everything for him and that he is fully awake, moving all limbs, can grip and lift, and has drawn lines and o's without assistance. He can sit straight up in his bed and hold his head up. He is off the ventilator, breathing on his own, and is about to start the Trach removal process, so that he will be fully independent. He is fully cognizant and responsive, understands everything everyone says, has gone from responding with blinks or eyebrow lifts to nods and shakes of the head.
Now on a speech valve, he is starting to use language, and has said "Hi", "Yes", "No", "Good", and "Goddam it."
“Missy is a walking miracle, her work is a game changer. With Missy’s help, we know that Dan will fully recover and we are beyond grateful.”

After the first session, he had improvement in his eye contact and concentration, a decrease in his forced vomiting and better night bladder maintenance. Shortly after the second session he used his first four-word sentence. He said, "No, I'm all done." Three weeks after NVT and he is now able to enjoy a meal without vomiting.
“This therapy has been extremely impactful to my family. I am so grateful to Missy and her team of compassionate and patient professionals.”
SENSORY PROCESSING DISORDER AGE: 6
"Our family is incredibly grateful for the care we received from Missy and the Neurovascular
Foundation. Our son had red spots pop up on his face and leg that we assumed were bug bites.
When they became incredibly infected, his doctors prescribed three different kinds of antibiotics. They were very close to prescribing steroids and suggested we take him to the ER for IV antibiotics. Instead we saw Missy at Neurovascular Foundation and between the daily
NV Mineral baths and NV Therapy sessions from Missy and her team, within a week he was back to feeling 100% again. Without their attention we likely would have ended up in the hospital with extensive antibiotic and steroid treatment."
“Without their attention we likely would have ended up in the hospital with extensive antibiotic and steroid treatment.”
STROKE AGE: 74
BEFORE
She began NVLife a year after a stroke left her unable to talk, dress herself or be left alone. Ten minutes into her first session of NVT she said her daughter's name for the first time in a year.
AFTER 4 SESSIONS
After her fourth session of NVT, her face and neck had significantly relaxed, showing visible improvement.
TRAUMATIC BRAIN INIURY AGE: 21
BEFORE TREATMENT
Despite his doctor's reluctance, he checked himself out of the hospital and received NVT sessions three times a day for a week. His MRI showed not only a fracture to the temporal bone but also at the entry point of the ear canal. This greatly increased his risk of brain infection due to his brain exposed at the inner part of his ear. He also had an internal brain hemorrhage that led to a blood clot. During his five days in the hospital, he was unable to hold down food, unable to sleep, was dizzy, unbalanced and was in extreme pain. The doctor said it would be 6 to 12 months before going back to school and resuming normal activity.
AFTER TREATMENT
He checked himself out of the hospital against doctor's orders and received NV sessions three times a day for a week.
During the week his balance improved, his aches and pains decreased and after the first day of therapy he slept well for the first time since the accident. One week later he went to see one of the leading neurosurgeons in the nation. An MRI showed the blood clot was reduced by half. His prognosis remained no school or normal activity for 3-8 months. He continued to receive NVT 3 times a day for another week. Two weeks later he went for a rescan, which showed the blood clot was completely gone. He finished his semester at the top of his class.
Three Months After
3 months affer the initial trauma he was tested again, this time with a Haacke MRI, the most sensitive detector of long-term neuronal injury. The MRI showed only one, minute, indicator of past injury. NVT played a pivotal role in accelerating the recovery and minimizing the long-term damage of these various brain injuries. He was back to big wave surfing and riding his bike after only three months.
