The changes with my son’s vision have been dramatic after visiting Cruz Life Center January 7-17, 2019.My 28 year old son has cortical vision impairment suffered from a life threatening Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) with herniated brain stem. His brain trauma led to a STROKE causing complete vision loss. He is now legally blind. Prior to his accident 15 months age he had 20/20 vision.My son and I traveled from Arizona to Cruz Life Center to have a 2 week treatment using the BioFlex Laser System therapy. This was a very difficult trip due to his injuries and new disability but we felt it was imperative. We were both happy to find Cruz Life Center did so much more than laser therapy. Our intent was to reduce inflammation in my son's brain caused by his life threatening head injury. The reduction in brain inflammation would improve his sleep, mood, focus, and cognitive abilities. Vision would be a secondary focus as this was unchartered water in the medical field of vision.Before receiving treatment at Cruz Life Center he recently started attending school for the blind full time. Ophthalmologists tested him to determine that he has no mechanical defects with his eyes stating he was completely blind and would probably remain completely blind with limited or no improvement in vision. Thankfully we found a local neurological Optometrist in March 2018 who diagnosed him with cortical vision impairment and was able to accurately measure his vision. With treatments his Optometrist helped him recover and expand his vision to a certain point.Before treatment at Cruz Life Center my son had 10° vision with his right eye and could see some color and objects in an oblong shape; like seeing thru a key hole. With his left eye he could only see black-and-white and had Zero degrees of vision.After treatment at Cruz Life Center his neurological Optometrist measured his LEFT eye at 7 degrees vision, and able to see some color and some images even though fuzzy. His ability to process objects overall using BOTH eyes is faster so his central vision has improved. When doing vision therapy exercises his ability to track objects is faster.His behavior is calmer and he shows less anxiety. He is sleeping better although he still complains of not sleeping well. The number one complaint of concussed patients is not being able to sleep so this is a big win. He continues to improve daily.I attribute being guided through the entire holistic health care process, provided by Cruz Life Center, to my son's success. This includes; BioFlex laser therapy, nutritional counseling, supplements and vitamins, change in diet, blood, urine, and saliva testing, chiropractic care, Accuscope, alpha stim, and massage therapy. My son was given the best foundational treatment under one roof and in a bulk amount of time to continue improving daily. Our goal is now to recover his 20/20 vision.Just last week he was reading a book without using a ruler or guide. This is hard work for his brain but it is a huge jump in his recovery.Our family was given NO encouragement from certain western medical doctors that he would ever see again. However, after our boot camp visit with Cruz Life Center we are ecstatic with hope and joy that he will see again!
