Travis' Story©

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!
