Cerebral Palsy
Jas story

"Silence of Peace"

It was summer 2006. A mother with her eight-year-old son, Jas, came for an EEG examination. Jas suffers from child cerebral palsy (PMD - Pelizaeus-Merzbacher Disease). Pelizaeus-Merzbacher Disease is one of a class of neurological diseases known as Leukodystrophies, disorders that affect the formation of the myelin sheath, the fat and protein covering, which acts as an insulator on neural fibres (axons) in the central nervous system. For this kind of patient, it is recommended that the examination be conducted whilst the patient is dreaming.

To prepare this examination was difficult, because the boy had always experienced difficulties in getting to sleep. In the end, it took over an hour for Jas to fall asleep.

During the examination Jas’ mother was talking about living with her son and the difficulties that PMD caused. Something that stuck out from this conversation in the EEG technician’s mind was the emphasis she placed on his struggles to get to sleep. His mother had tried various different methods to help him, but so far she’d been unsuccessful. “I propose she use Alphamusic CD called ‘Silence of Peace’ which I have been using to find if there is any influence of his music onto patients during the EEG process,” thought Danuta Andrzejak, EEG technician. It was over a month before Danuta heard anything back. One day a message finally arrived. “It was a shock to me as I have never used John Levine’s music with patients who suffer from cerebral palsy before,” says Danuta. “His mother was so thankful and happy that I recommended her this CD. She said that some issues that had been persistent for many years had melted away. Her son had gotten himself into a hyperactive state one day, which she knew from past experience could go on for up to three days. She put ‘Silence of Peace’ on. Over the next twenty minutes he became gradually calmer. It was astounding. Also, she said that during the nights he was falling asleep much faster than he was before,” recalls Danuta. It was of great benefit to Jas’ mother as she finally managed to sleep during the night and wasn’t consistently woken up by her son.

Jas’ caretakers have also noticed an incredible progress in his concentration abilities. One therapist said that he sees smaller muscular strain in his limbs, which allows him to facilitate more exercises with the patient, and even better cooperation from his side has been observed.
