"I was so impressed with how much the DAVID machine helped my son, Jonathan, with his autism, that I founded my own wellness center to help others. At the age of three we used this therapy on him, which utilizes flashing lights and pulsing tones, over a six-week period. During and after this time, his negative behaviours diminished, his ability to engage socially along with eye contact increased, he became more articulate and better able to engage others in communication.

I truly believe the DAVID made all the difference in the world in who he is today and recommend it fully for others with autism as well as everyone else.

Now that more substantial research has been completed, I hope more people will try this new approach rather than drug-related alternatives."

"I just thought I'd let you know that Chuck's son, Nathan, is doing great with the Paradise XL...his field is expanding...calmer...climbing trees for the first time...less anxious and fearful getting on the school bus...even sat in church on Good Friday for TWO HOURS without squealing...amazing...and after only 9 days. I love it! Thanks again."

"The DAVID Paradise machine has done wonders for Mike, as it is the only way he can relax and get grounded. We did have a tough time at first. All of the other children and myself were using it for a month and seeing real benefits, such as increased concentration, relaxation, and no more sleeping problems.

Michael, who is severely autistic, does not like any thing unfamiliar, so we had to restrain him gently in order for him to wear the headphones, and he fought steadily for three weeks, until the 21st day when something happened and he relaxed. It was a dramatic change, he started listening and giggling and didn't want to take it off. At this time, we didn't even attempt to use the eyeset. That next day, I received a note from his teacher asking "What has happened?" Mike is calmer and we are seeing eye contact, which was non-existent prior to this. I didn't tell them until a month later, that I was using the Paradise on him. His behavior improved and he was much less resistant to change, especially with "transition time", which was a night-mare to deal with.

The eye contact Michael continued to show improvement steadily, he was finally "with us", and with autism that was the bridge we needed so desperately. Before this, Mike was unreachable. So unreachable it truly seemed hopeless, not only to me, but also to his teachers. Since that major breakthrough we have made slow, but steady progress. Had this not been achieved, I shudder at the thought of what might have been. The eye contact was a direct result of using the Paradise with Mike.

The other major benefits has been a reduction in hyperactivity and a decrease in sleep resistance. So we're all able to keep a little sanity around here. The doctors have given Mike trazadone, ambiem, valium, and none of it worked as it would not affect the area of the brain with him it needed to. Having a child who will not sleep for three days is exhausting, and now, on setting 22, sends him to sleep safely. This week has been great! He loves the lamp, and it doubles the effect. He is sound asleep before the session is done. Mike's favorite settings are 16, 22 with 31 being the one that gives him the most delight. On a hard night, I'll do 31 then 22. Works like a charm! He has been resistant to other settings, but we are experimenting. He enjoys the binaural beat setting best. But those three settings are his favorites. I have much more work to do with him.

It did take three weeks of holding and screaming to get him to use the Paradise at first, now he asks for it at night if I'm behind in my schedule. And he loves it. Now we are hearing some speech. This last month Mike (previously non-verbal) has said "Up, go, down, ready-set-go". He makes those sounds consistently and appropriately. A major break-through! He is signing for "all done" and "candy". I am so delighted! After being told for years put him in an institution because of the behavior problems, and how they would get worse, not better. I can finally tell those people they were wrong, and much more progress can be expected, the Paradise has opened some doors for Michael that otherwise may have remained closed. I just wanted to thank you, and let you know of our experience.

I never mentioned to anyone we were using the Paradise initially and his pre-school wrote in his notebook "Big Change, what happened? Great eye contact and much more co-operation!" This was one month after using the Paradise. The effect was quick. Still have to use it every day to relax Michael. He asks for it by gesturing."
