Re: Has anyone tried the EEG Neurotherapy?

[Guest guest]

I can understand medication increasing perfusion, and but I cannot understand

how the exercise using the EEG can increase perfusion. It is very easy for me

to envision working a muscle and thereby increasing perfusion but harder for

me to think about the brain in the same way. It is not the same kind of

tissue however why would the principle not be the same? Use it or lose it,

use it and build it does work for muscles and bone. We know that brain

stimulation is the elderly not just works but is absolutely essential. Do you

have any thoughts on how this mechanism can work? I thought when this

treatment came out that this it worked by training or retraining other parts

of the brain. That is something that is well documented for a number of other

brain injuries. Is your child a patient of Dr. Goldberg's and are you

following his protocol also? I wonder if there are some computer games that

would have similar results for the same reasons? Is this why FastForward

works for some children? Anybody have some thoughts or know of some research?

I tend to think along the lines of Dr. Goldberg, that this might temporarily

help, but doesn't address WHY The brain is not working correctly---I think

this is the same phenomemon seen in kids who improve doing ABA and then

regress when it is interrupted---it helped the deficit, but didn't eliminate

the CAUSE

This sounds fascinating to me. Does anyone know where can getmore information

on the neurotherapy? Where can one get that done? Also, , waht medications are

used for perfusion?

Kate, I agree. I think another big concern.......if the childs brain is

shutting down due to medical problems, what if you are getting other parts

of the brain to take over? I don't know if that happens, but I think that

would be something to find out, since that is what happens when there is

some type of permanent brain injury. They get other parts of the brain to

take over for the damaged area.

Where this can be done?

Who does this?

Thank you

I think that it use to be called biofeedback. If you go to the ADHD sites you

will find it mentioned. More adults use it than children is my impression. As

with everything it helps some but not all. SSRI's. You can read about the

drugs and the pre and post neurospects on his website. Kathy

I agree.

Cheryl, That may be why it works when it does but it seems to me that the

first effort should be towards treating the brain through the immune system.

If you do not every step forward will be knocked back when something else

triggers the immune system. Kathy
