Our family has worked with the Independent Research Laboratory of Albert Bohbot for five years. As a biologist, I would like to share our experiences.

Our son, Eric, was diagnosed as a "T5 Complete" paraplegic as result of a burst fracture in the year 2000. He was offered no hope of recovery. His function has been measured through the biofeedback and physical therapy facilities at University of Miami, in research directed by the head of the Department of Orthopedics there, Dr. Bernard Brucker, since that time.

Since that time, we have participated in seven two-week sessions of treatment in Albert Bohbot's laboratory. After each visit our son has experienced marked improvement of function. His progress has been documented through the scientific measurements of the Unviersity of Miami.

He has now been measure at 100% function at all thoracic levels and a minimum of 50% function at lumbar levels through the hip flexors. He can move his upper legs voluntarily and has voluntary signal all the way through the feet. He can walk comfortably in braces, and pedal a bicycle using his upper leg muscles without assistance. He also has sensation (hot, cold, and pressure) to his knees.

We look forward to future visits and continued improvement in Mr. Bohbot's laboratory.

Sincerely,

Dr. Juliana T, Ph.D.
