Guest guest Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Dana, First thing to do is to ask her to check with her doctor/pharmacist to see whether this kind of experience is potentially a sign of overmedication with either of her meds. The NF could have changed the neurotransmitter picture in her brain, which might also help to explain the progressive nature of what she is experiencing. Second thing is to be aware that you can't reward windowed frequencies on one side in a windowed squash. You will be rewarding the same thing on both sides (though that shouldn't be an issue given the frequencies you are training.) Try using just one of the three training protocols you mentioned--at least one at a time--for a session or two and see which one is having the effect. Combining them and shifting around makes it much harder to determine how to respond.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Dana, Tingling in both the legs if it has started after the NF training , T3 & T4 locations are more closer to the Post central gyrus , where somatosensory representation ( touch, pain sensations) are felt from the opposite half of the body. In patients with " Bipolar Disorder" ( Lithium is the medication) , there is an abnormal asymmetry in the structure of cerebral cortex and it is more lateralised than normal subjects. So when the alpha waves were uptrained in post central gyrus , the subconscious feelings of pain came to light with low level of threshold for pain. So if we can uptrain the alpha at Pz or Oz with one lead only, this may uptrain the alpha at Thalamus , this would block even the excessive pain as Thalamus is a gatekeeper for the perceived pain before it goes to cerebral cortex. I will substantiate my guess by presentng a portion of a reseach article on Bipolar disorder. " Cerebral lateralization of the M20 distinguished bipolar subjects with psychosis from those without psychosis and comparison subjects. The M20 is generated in area 3b of the postcentral gyrus. These findings suggest anatomical displacement of the postcentral gyrus in psychotic disorders and support the hypothesis that anomalous cerebral asymmetry is a feature of psychotic disorders generally, including psychotic mood disorders. " Apart from this , patient may have toxic effects of Lithium which can produce Thyroid problems & Muscle/ Nerve pain. Patient also must be checked for sugar levels. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 One more question... I have another bipolar client with fibromyalgia and too much alpha almost everywhere. What would reduce pain in her case? Dana Tingling> > Usually when I have clients who "tingle" during sessions it is a client with high alpha and a tendency for fibromyalgia.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Dana, When there is too much Alpha everywhere , it looks this client must be addicted to centrally acting pain medications(Narcotics).But this alpha must be of Lower frequency alphas ( 8 to 10 Htz). Here we can reward the high frequency alpha at Pz/A1/A2 (10 to 13 Htz) and inhibit (2 to 9.5 Htz).Once we increase the frequency of alpha, the amplitude will come down.The hifrequency alpha will take care of the pain while low frequency alpha can produce only drowsiness. Fibromyalgia is only a non specific diagnosis of exclusion . Chronic pain medication seekers only use this diagnosis to their favour . This is fibromuscular pain of unknown cause.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 I got this email report last night. Itis 9:00 aflter lying on couch burning in thighs return same intensity not really tingling but prickling in hands and face concentration is off feel like my brain is running hyper overdrive but I'm stuck and going no where feel as if I can do nothing right and am a failure definately depressed Any suggesestions?

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Hi Sue, When recently diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy the Neurologist tested my B12, Folate, & TSH to try to identify a cause. All levels were bottom range which can be explained by Rich's GD-MCB Hypothesis concerning Glutathione Depletion's expansive effects. The tests were also for heavy metals which were negative. Other tests for neuropathy causes looked at my Immunoglobulins G,A & M, all of which were bottom range. This too may possibly be related to the glutathione depletion. I started experiencing signs of neuropathy like you describe 7 years ago and they were exacerbated after my last bout with pneumonia. My hope is that by following the treatment protocol for GD-MCB that I will at the least, halt the neuropathy, as well as many of my other diagnosis and symptoms. Hope that helps, sb2boys@ wrote: > > Does anyone else experience tingling down your spine and your > > extremeties? > > > > Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Bee, Hello. Merry Christmas to you! I have a concern I was hoping you could address. I have been feeling tingling in my hands and forearms and lips for the past two weeks. It has now moved to my feet and shins (for the past five days) and now all the way up my leg (mostly right) to my butt. I've read in previous posts that this could be toxins not released yet or my nerves waking up. Is there anything I can do about this and should I be concerned? Thanks!

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Bee,   Thanks for your response. I'll just hope this passes soon and continue with the diet, coconut oil, epsom salt baths, and skin brushing. Thanks for all that you do for us!

Releasing toxins also wakes up the nerves so the symptoms can coincide. All the best, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
