Autism Improvement Using Neuroliminal Training
Only in the past few years have some Neurofeedback (NFB) clinicians worked with autistic children. Success has been rare. Few parents can afford the horrible cost, and few clinicians are willing to take on an autistic child, because of the difficulties involved.
- How do you attach sensors to an autistic child? Even using a helmet?
- If you do get a connection, how do you motivate such a child? (A key to success).
- The cost can bankrupt any family except the very wealthy.
- Without complimentary therapies, succcss is limited. NT is only one component of Dr. Bate's Four Part Integrated Therapy for Autism.
Enter Neuroliminal Training (NT). Three of the above four problems are solved with its usage. There is no sensor attachment needed, nor any helmet, nor is motivation important. Since NT works by using a subliminal messaging technique that works during sleep, or as a background to play or study, It can be done at home using a repeating CD, and at an affordable cost to even a low income family. NT improves autism symptoms gradually over time in the same way as NFB.
Neuroliminal Training (NT) does for autistics exactly the same three things that NFB training does - namely raise the SMR brain wave, lower the Theta brainwave, and increase the brain blood flow. (The latest NFB therapy includes HEG biofeedback which does this by feedback techniques).
With volunteer tests and studies, it has been well proven that success rates are very similar for both NFB and NT. The only real difference is cost. For an average ADHD child to be "cured" (cure being defined in current NFB circles as "sitting still in class, paying attention to study, grade improvement, and in most cases, a jump in IQ scores of 10-15 points") costs $5000. For NT, the total cost is $147. An autistic child requires many more sessions than an ADD/ADHD child - Autism can be a bankruptcy disease with autism.
To improve autism symptoms, simple "baby steps" toward "normal behavior" are what is seen using either NFB or NT. The good news is that continued usage continues improvement. This is a long slow process.
This "brain damage" that makes autism such a problem may be caused by various traumatic episodes such as an overload of mercury or other mineral toxicity, a birth or pregnancy injury, continual malnutrition (or drug addiction) by the mother during pregnancy, etc.
Of course, this autism spectrum is large and variable with each individual. Not to mention, the misdiagnosed cases. A high functioning autistic child (Asbergers) might easily be thought to be in the ADD/ADHD range. Remember that all doctors have to make a diagnosis that will allow them to be paid from insurance carriers, and this makes the whole diagnostic process a mockery.
In orthomolecular circles, it is well known that allergens, usually unsuspected, are the basic cause of stress causing all mental "disease". There is also a lot of anecdotal evidence that raising the SMR brain wave either "cures" allergies, or lessens the stress effect on the patient.
NASA scientists found that lowering the Theta brain wave increases concentration (attention), and they spend hours "brainwashing" jet pilots and astronauts to lower their Theta brain wave. This has become a "standard therapy" for NFB as a result.
However, what most NFB clinicians don't know is that by lowering Theta, we also lower "creativity", or "artistic ability". Of course, in all "attention" cases, including autism, this is not as important as social happiness of the child involved. In the case of the astronauts, concentration on the myriad dials and readouts and controls is critical to their jobs, and artistic ability is easily sacrificed.
In a recent conference, I heard about an autistic girl that was a real savant in mathematics and music. They used an experimental stem cell transplant on her, and it improved her autism symptoms dramatically, but it also cut her savant ability in half.
The Autism CD package does lower Theta, while no others do. "Special" NT is the recommended one for all forms of depression, including PTSD, insomnia, epilepsy, Fibromyalgia, etc. It does NOT lower Theta and creativity.
Unlike Drugs - No Dangerous Side Effects.
No clinics - Done at home - No extra cost for unlimited use.
The longer used, the greater the benefits.
NT works for non-english speaking kids and adults.
Guaranteed "noticeable improvement" within 60 days or money back.

eMail comments at the end of the 8 week Autism test from Autism parents (Jan and Feb 2007) If you know anything about Autism, you will realize that these comments are extremely favorable.
"Slept 4 of 7 nights This huge for us. His teachers have been raving about his progress this week"
"Denis definitely seems more attuned to the world. Also his eating and nystigmus problems have improved noticeably."
"mild improvement in attention , seeming more aware of his surroundings. Drooling has much improved, and he seems to be able to cough up the mucous. We definitely want to continue w/ program."
For the first time, he turned and looked right at me when he spoke to me. That's huge to me.
We have a dry erase board on our refigerator, he started leaving notes before bed of the things he would like to do the next day. I thought it was cute. His older siblings write notes to remind us of things. There was a time not long ago, he didn't like to write. Him writing little notes, just makes you warm inside. He's getting along with his new specials teacher. He mentioned he likes her better than the last. I see him very happy when he arrives home from school. He is more eager to go to school as well. At home he is more social these days with the family. Will actually sit and watch a movie with us.
Just wanted to write and let you know my son is doing so well with his Asperger, and toilet training he is now completly dry at nights and NEVER has had an "accident"! Everyone has congratulated me on this HUGE acheivment, but alas i always say it's to do with the cd he listens to every night, he sleeps better as well.
