NEUROCYTONIX Day 5

July 22, 2025
“MOM! WAKE UP!!” I startled into an upright position in the hotel bed I am sharing with Julius. Both kids were asleep. I checked the clock. The time was 6:35am. Five minutes later than my alarm setting. ‘Why didn’t the alarm go off?’ ‘Who woke me?’ I remembered Cyrus, Julius’ younger sibling who died at birth, long before my daughter was born or could it have been Julius telepathically communicating with me through his dreams. Sounds woo-woo, I know. But, Julius and I have a non-verbal bond that is difficult to translate into words. I let the question go and immediately started getting ready for Julius’ second Cytotron treatment. Later, I realised, it’s Saturday and my alarm was set only for weekdays. The treatment takes commitment with no days off. The NeuroCytonix Research Center runs seven days a week 8:00a to 8:00p with families coming from all over the world.
For those unfamiliar with the Cytotron, in the USA the therapy is referred to as RFQMR, the acronym for Rotational Field Quantum Magnetic Resonance. The treatment is non-invasive, painless and has no reported side effects. Julius usually falls asleep. The way I understand RFQMR is that the cells in our bodies give off radio frequencies and the Cytotron machine detects abnormal cells by their difference in frequency from healthy cells. It looks very similar to a tubular MRI machine, except that it induces apoptosis, a programmed cell death that happens in abnormal, rapidly dividing cells, such as cancer cells. It also does the opposite, stimulating cell growth and repair in degenerative conditions. While treatments like FDA approved radiation therapy in cancer destroys both unhealthy cells and the surrounding healthy cells, RFQMR does not harm the surrounding healthy cells because of this ability to differentiate between cells.
Cerebral Palsy is more complicated than cancer, in that it varies from one person to the next. CP is actually an umbrella term for categorising brain injuries that occur in infants in utero, during birth and in early childhood. Most cases of CP are preventable, but healthcare continues to fall short of excellence in this area of preventative care. In the USA alone there is an estimated 1 million cases of CP in varying degrees, that is about 1 in every 345 children.
Yesterday, we met another family from the US that have come for treatment. Ezra and her mom. PJ have given me permission to share their story with ours. At days end we sat by the pool exchanging our anxieties about getting here. Ezra is a pre-teen who uses a wheelchair and is able to speak. Unlike Julius, she has no feeding tube or tracheostomy. Her brother, who is her twin is more involved, similar to Julius. He remains in the US with his other mom and PJ is hoping that he will also get a chance to come for treatment. But what we are both hoping for  mostly is that the USA will open the gates to allow our families and others to receive this treatment in our own country. Maryland, USA is where the Center’s mother research centre is located and PJ tells me that a representative from the FDA visits NeuroCytotonix here in Monterrey, Mexico monthly evaluating what is happening here. The powers that be have been coming for two years. Our intake worker said they keep asking for more data.
So, of course, I gave permission for NeuroCytotonix to include Julius in the data they are collecting in a determined attempt to get USA FDA approval to treat patients with cerebral palsy using the Cytotron machines that are being utilised in the USA for other approved diagnoses. Here in Mexico their equivalent to our FDA already has granted approval and families that can managed the costs of the treatment are sharing their positive feedback. Many, like us, have gotten donations from Go-Fund-Me platforms and other financing avenues.
I came into this with a realistic hope, meaning that I understood this is not a cure for cerebral palsy, but a possibility at reducing the fight Julius’ body gives us both every single day. Julius weighs less than 100 pounds, but lifting him and moving his limbs feels like double the weight. The fight is real and hard on both our bodies. His joints become more atrophied as he ages and his tonal patterns are more difficult to release. When he is in a spastic attack I am unable to bend his iron stiff body. Imagine how tight your neck would be if you held your head to the left all the time waiting for someone to help you move it back to centre. Don’t get me wrong in my vulnerability here. Julius is not an unhappy person. On the contrary, he is the most loving, trusting human I know. His very life depends on the kindness of others and the willingness of another to approach him and say “hello, I see you.” I love him exactly the way he is. Making his body more comfortable will not make me love him any more than I already do. It simply would make our daily life, less difficult.
Getting us here was extremely stressful. In the end, some things were left behind, like Julius’ eye glasses. I was so disappointed with myself when I realised this detail. It seemed minor compared to the other mishaps that happened during our travels. (I will save that for another time.) When we arrived at our hotel, Julius’ eyes were all over the place. What I mean is that his glasses play a significant role in keeping his irises in better alignment. I new without those glasses, his eyes would not work together. And in his attempt to try looking at me with both eyes synchronised, the left iris shook uncontrollably. Of course, even when I did get his glasses on him, his dominant tone that twists his head to the left would just knock them off. It is a game of cat and mouse keeping those glasses on. Sill, I felt deflated for forgetting them. How much worse would his eyes become before we returned home? Ugh
To my surprise, after the first treatment, Julius’ eyes were better. Huh? Maybe the good night sleep he got made it appear so. They are worse when he’s tired. Then, the next day, they were even better. By the third day, there was no denying something had changed. Honestly, I hoped for improvement, mostly a release from the high tone, known as spasticity, and also some coordination in his swallow so that he wouldn’t require so much suctioning. Those were my two wishes in coming here. That’s not too much to ask for, is it? Still, I am not expecting jumping jacks. But wow, I never considered June’s eyes and absolutely did not think we’d notice any improvement until after we returned to the US. Building new neuronal pathways takes time after-all, right? We would have to follow up with supportive PT and OT for sure? I thought it was presumptuous of the doctor to ask, after the first treatment, if we noticed any changes. Well, we are now on day five. Julius’ eyes are working together and I can rotate his shoulders. Sockets that were nearly frozen are in motion.
PJ and Ezra are experiencing their improvements as well and they are only a couple of days ahead of us. Ezra kept her left hand in a tight fist and she could not sit without full support from a wheelchair. She is now able to open her left hand, stretching her fingers and she is able to sit on the plastic shower bench that accompanies an “accessible” hotel room, so PJ can shampoo her daughter’s hair without having their fully supported shower chair left at home. We both have before and after photos of these improvements. Since I have already shared Julius’ beautiful eyes, I will share Ezras very proud ability to open her left hand, and the before picture her mom shared with me.
I know there is a lot of skepticism out there. I’ve read much of it before coming. I even considered cancelling and returning the donations, mostly because of the stress I went through in preparing. PJ said she went through the same thing. In her words, “I was gonna bail.” Well, thank goodness neither of us took the easy way out. Getting here was hard, but here we are and neither of us want to be any other place in the world at this moment.
Thank you all again for your belief in us and for helping us get here! Please spread the word!
