Re: Re: brain polarization

October 11, 2000

So far, the only medical reference made to brain polarization I have

found refers to correcting a psychoemotional disturbance. This causes me

to believe that my hunch was right, and that this term refers to the

predominant brainwave frequencies of the individual lobes of the brain.

Each lobe has many lesser frequencines at all times, but the

" predominant " frequency of the lobes, and whether or not they are acting

coherently, in harmony, are determinants of brainstate. As you read this

you are in beta, for most folks probably between 14-18 Hz in a state of

alertness. Delta is sleep, 0-4 Hz. Etc. Frequency determines brainstate.

Balance of the electrical activity in the brain, vis a vis one lobe to

the other, is called homeostasis, and is concurrent with health. Any and

all diseases and disorders have imbalances of electrical activity in one

or both lobes. For instance, anxiety/panic/depression are a symptom of

too much electrical activity in the right frontal lobe of the limbic

brain, and are easy to ameliorate, IMO.

When something is polarized everything goes one way. So, to apply this

to ALS, I would think it would mean one side of the brain had gained

some form of dominance, or the other may be spinning in neutral, as with

ischemic neurons after stroke, they aren't dead, but they aren't doing

anything either. I have asked on another list that might have an answer

to this to corroborate.

To achieve homeostasis in the brain there are several methods, and

combining as many as possible, even overlaying them, makes them more

potent. If I had a brain disorder that mentioned brain polarization I

would use a CES device & either a light/sound, so called flicker

machine, or a binaural beat CD with headphones. No need for a MD's scrip

for an expensive prescription model CES. The non-prescription models

work just as well. It isn't research that makes CES work. L/S machines

are non-prescription.

CES began around 1914 when the Russians were trying to discover a cure

for insomnia. Their generals drank too much vodka had trouble sleeping.

No joke! Once EEG's could measure brainwaves, science discovered that

healthy people have balanced brains, and the rest of us don't! In over

60 years of intensive research into CES there has never been a negative

side effect reported with CES, even anecdotally!

There is NO downside to CES! It IS contraindicated for epileptics,

stroke victims, pregnant & nursing women, people with pacemakers, etc.

Actually, it is probably the best and fastest treatment for petit mal

seizures. It definitely helps migraine, which is a seizure and looks

identical to petit mal on an occilloscope!

There is research that says CES is beneficial for stroke beginning as

soon as possible after the trauma that causes the imbalance. Like HBOT,

it has been shown to lower the percentage of loss of function. Very

little research, but it points in that direction.

I have seen two stroke victims of over 10 years duration try a CES and

their eyes light up. One was my father, and he could never explain why

he believed it, but he believed it helped something bigtime, and it did

make him feel better.

My father-in-law can't speak, but he is otherwise capable. He's a killer

bridge & canasta player. When you ask him if he believes it does him

good he is extremely enthusiastic in the positive.

It doesn't seem to make much difference the cause of the imbalance,

whether is was an old virus or a car accident. CES re-trains the brain

to a more balanced state by putting the same tiny current across the

lobes, or in 2 parallel lines, front-to-back. This is called brain

entrainment. There are different electrode placements that are more

effective for different things, but that is beyond the scope of what I'm

explaining here. I just wanted to mention it in case anyone reads this

and heads off into the sunset. ;-)

Binaural beats work on the " frequency following " principle. If you

present the brain with a frequency within its operating range that it

cannot ignore, it will follow it. Sound & flickering light set the

beats. The human ear can't hear below 20 Hz, where these frequencies

are, being 0-18. But, it was discovered that if you put, say, 100 Hz in

one ear and 105 Hz in the other, that the brain will hear 100, 105 AND

5, or whatever the difference between them is. These are called

" binaural beats " and the brain will follow them!

lin, if you are interested in pursuing this subject, I will lend

you a CES. I have several and only use one at a time. Or I could make

you a CD with binaural beats to trick your brain into balance with

sound, using a CD walkman. There is no research behind it, but they are

legitimate options. In Parkinsonism, for example, it can't cure the

problem, but it helps with the tremors. Disease always connotes

imbalance. Balancing helps everything in some way. If you want to learn

more about CES read Hutchison's Megabrain Power.

Actually, it's a good read for people looking for alternative therapies,

there are a lot of other types of helpful things for different

circumstances. Mike's book is a light-yet-meaty skim over what was

available ten years ago. It's old, but still the best primer next to his

first book, Megabrain, which goes into more detail of the brain's

cellular biology. He's the Ed McCabe of popular neurotechnology.

Parenthetically, Hutchison was in a terrible accident over a

year ago, almost paralyzed, and it is very gratifying to see people from

all over the world come to his aid in different ways, much as they did

with Ed.

If any of the professionals on the neurotech list have a definite

response to the phrase brain polarization, I'll report it here.

Jim, are you referring to CES here? My brother had a monster anxiety

siege during my mother's recent terminal illness. People were saying it

was psychological, and I was saying it was physiological, because the

brain " storming " would dissipate after awhile. J.

P.S. Lately in particular you seem so well-versed in various

alternative practices. Has anything made you sort of hit pay dirt on

these natural healing techniques? I don't know if I am making sense,

but you seem to project an elevated state of mind these days.

October 12, 2000

Dear Jim,

Thanks for the great report on CES and brain entrainment.

I fooled around with this a few years back, along with a wired-for-sound

bed with massive woofers. People were have past life experiences and

seeing deceased relatives on that puppy!

Best of Health!

Yes, I am referring to CES in re depression/anxiety/panic disorders. It

stopped my clinical depression in 36 hours on the day after I got my

first machine. It just happened to be the only one with 4 electrodes

making 2 parallel currents, front to back, which is what one needs for

these disorders. Cross-brain is much less effective for these

imbalances, which also involve hypoxia, which may be the reason for the

imbalance in the 1st place.

My " elevated state of mind " that you perceive may just be clarity of

expression. I have a sense of being better centered lately, but it's

more a mood than an elevation. But, compliments are always welcome.;-)

Jim,

Please give more info on your " first " machine, where you purchased it and

price etc. I have a friend who has severe depression and panic disorders.

She is only 18 and has terrible difficulties as a result of her stressful

birth. Maybe something like you are describing can help people like her.

Thanks,

No, I don't. I just figured this out, tested & proved it with other

friends with depression, anxiety & panic. There is also a pancreatic

connection to anxiety syndrome. I know of about 8 people with anxiety

syndrome. All have a pain that goes to the pancreas & is relieved by

triggerpoint for the pancreatic digestive enzymes at the time of panic

attack. Panic is relieved by the triggerpoint for the pancreas.

The electrode placement for panic/anxiety/depression is 2 wires

bifurcated (split in two, making four). One current from the

occipital-mandibular point (the bottom, outside corner bumps under the

skull, behind the ears. If you can't figure it out, ask somebody local

to touch you there) and the recess under the frontal eminence, above the

pupils, above the eyebrows. On both sides, parallel.

This puts the same current across both lobes, each from front to back,

directly through the frontal lobes where emotions like

panic/anxiety/depression reside in the right frontal lobe, behind the

right frontal eminence.

And, some more seemingly positive personality traits like

absentmindedness, happiness, daydreaming about higher mathematic-type

things (musicians) are qualities of the left frontal lobes, both frontal

lobes referring to the limbic brain.

For the uninitiated, overactivity in the left frontal lobes could

interfere with achieving success in life (musicians), and would not be

positive. It could even be a component of ADD or autism. (I will have to

ask some people about that)

The use of CES for these conditions is well documented in research. The

4-wire electrode placement for these disorders is my own contribution to

the advancement of science. If you need it, try it, you will like it! In

2-3 days you should feel noticeably better.

If this isn't clear, we need to talk on the phone.
