Guest guest Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 Grace Well, I got the mind stim cd today and am listening to it as I type. I don't know! You can hear some high pitch cyclical " squeaking " sounds in the background but the main sound is running water. We're not talking calm, babbling brook kind of water but rather like someone left the tap on in the tub! My asd son actually ran to the bathroom to see if I'd started to run his tub too early when I first put it on! I'm just kind of laughing right now, my husband probably thinks I'm nuts (not the 1st time, won't be the last : ) ). My asd son did actually appear to be listening to it though. I have 3 kids I want to try it on and at least my oldest can actually tell me what he thinks of it, if it's doing anything or not. I'll let you know if we see any results or not.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 Hi Laurie, I have the mind stim tape.I know what I am about to ask you sounds wacky but did you have a craving for any specific type of food after listening to this cd?I would be curious to know.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 There was nothing with my Mind Stim CD that said not to use for kids under 13 and one of the selling points is that it is supposed to work for kids. I don't know. They did also send me a demo CD for something called Holosync and that one does state not to use for kids under 13. Maybe it's just that one? That is a much more expensive CD than the mind stim. I think I'd have to see some pretty amazing and definitive results with Mind Stim before I'd shell out that much money! My youngest is 12.5 yo so I think I'll still try it with all of them. I'll let you know if I notice any changes. Laurie > > > > Hey there.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 Hi Well I've only listened to it once all the way through so far. I didn't notice any particular food cravings but I'll keep an eye on that and let you know. That would be a hard one for me to judge because I'm always craving foods! With my son being on a restricted diet for so many years, I don't get to eat all the things I want anymore! I have hidden stashes of contraband food locked up around the house that I sneak into after he's asleep!! Pretty bad huh? The problem is now that I'm getting older I can't handle late night pizza without waking up with heartburn later. (Maybe I should start taking the enzymes!).

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 I kind of got angry about this... After I ordered, I contacted the company and they said they do not recommend the CD for anyone under 13...

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 I bought the CD a month ago and there was nothing that said not to use it for children. It sounds very much like a loud brook running with rythmic sqealing in the background. I have been playing the CD in a regular stereo CD player and not thro the ear phones.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 I know the Mind Stim says something about children...that is why it made me mad when the company said it is not recommended for children under 13...my guy is almost 5.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 I know it does not say it on the package... I e-mailed them to find out if it would interfere with any previous listening treatment he had done so far. This is when I was told that it is not recommended for children under 13.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2004 Report Share Posted January 31, 2004 I just got my copy of the CD today. I could not even listen to it for 5 minutes! I started getting a headache right away and when I turned it off, the pain went away. I do get migraines regularly, so maybe it was just me, but I don't think I will be using it with my son. This just may have convinced me to take the plunge for The Listening Program CD's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 31, 2004 Report Share Posted January 31, 2004 Like I said before...it does not say it on the CD/tape... BUT when I contacted the company they said it WAS NOT recommended for children under 13.
