As her mother told the story her daughter
Conchita experienced a “normal birth.”
When
she switched her daughter from breast milk to formula,
Conchita had seizures. She
was diagnosed with strabismus and had three eye surgeries
as a toddler.
Her sight continued to worsen and she was diagnosed as
legally blind and, also, became more and more withdrawn.
She was labeled as MR (mentally retarded) ADD (Attention
Deficit Disorder) and ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder).
She was placed in special education classes with a whole
host of mental and physical problems. Drugs were prescribed
for these conditions. Conchita’s eating was poor
and she was “skin and bones.” After 15 years
of traditional medical treatment, Conchita continued
to be withdrawn, sucking her thumb and rocking.
Help From Alternative Therapies
Then, her mom and dad found help from alternative therapies:
first a chiropractor. She began to eat a more nutritious
diet, got off the drugs, and gained 25 pounds.
They saw Dr. Michael English, a noted behavioral optometrist
and vision specialist, who tested her and is currently
writing a fellowship paper about her improvement.
She also saw a special education teacher for cognitive
treatment and testing, who sent her to Jim Clear (N.C.T.M.B.,
L.M.T., of Natural Therapies LLC, Las Cruces, New Mexico).
At Jim Clear's first meeting with Conchita,
at 16-1/2 years of age, she held herself in a fetal position,
rocking and drooling. After each visit with Jim, she
told her
parents, “I want to see Jim Clear. I can see better.”
In Jim Clear’s words . . .
“At the end of 6 visits with me, or 200 minutes
of ‘Brain Therapy’ treatment, she regained
her sight, began interacting with her parents and tutor,
and, most remarkably, has joined her peers in a large
El Paso high school.
“Conchita’s progress and the results were
documented by all who were involved.
"While some question
how long it will last and how or why her life changed
so dramatically with therapies unknown or not mainstream
to many, there is no longer any skepticism or doubts
for the parents, her physician, optometrist, counselor,
tutor, and family.
“Currently, I am writing up a clinical summary
of the work I performed for the paper and article the
optometrist and educator are co-authoring on this young
girl.
“Thank God her parents didn’t give up.”
