Solving Epilepsy with Neuroliminal Training
There are two drug free brain training therapies that have been shown to work for epilepsy.
- Neurofeedback/EEG biofeedback. In spite of some early experiments that caused some epileptic seizures by brain training at the wrong frequencies, these experiments did no permanent harm to the volunteers and actually went a long way towards proving the effectiveness of EEG BF.
- Neuroliminal Training system. Not only is this system completely safe with no danger of seizures possible, it is very inexpensive. Even for those epileptics who are unwilling to come off their drugs for fear of another seizure, this is a good thing to use (belt and suspenders in effect).
Today, most clinicians are aware of the potential dangers to epileptic persons and there are some EEG BF units that CANNOT even be used to train at any dangerous frequencies.
One very effective EEG biofeedback clinic, one of the pioneers of this brain training, has been very successful with eplepsy. He has even stated that anyone who doesn't use it is guilty of malpractice.
Just what is epilepsy? Epilepsy is the tendency to have repeated seizures or "fits". They may be classified with other "brain problems" in that they originate in the brain. The nerve cells in the brain are usually well organized. A sudden, temporary interruption in some or all of the functions of the nerve cells may be called a 'seizure' or 'fit'. Such a seizure, or fit, may be characterized by falling unconscious in an "ordinary" setting, with various other symptoms. Some people have such a seizure only once in their lives. A head blow or stress or rhythmic lighting may trigger such an epileptic seizure.
There are several different medical diagnosis, these may vary from one practitioner to another:
- The worst and most frightening is the so-called "tonic-colonic" convulsive seizure. This is also known as the "Grand Mal" seizure. In the first part of the seizure the person stiffens and often falls. Next, the muscles relax and tighten rhythmically causing convulsions. Starting the seizure, the person may bite their tongue or cry out; breathing may be difficult and they may even be incontinent. After the seizure the person may feel tired, confused, have a headache and may need to rest to recover fully
- In Tonic seizures the muscles stiffen without rhythmical jerking. The person may fall to the ground and suffer injury, but generally recovery is quick.
- Atonic seizures, (AKA drop attacks). The muscles all relax, causing the person to fall. Again, there is a risk of injury but recovery is generally quick
- Myoclonic seizures involve brief and abrupt jerking of one or more limbs. These often happen within a short time of waking up, either on their own or with other forms of generalized seizure.
- Absence seizures occur most commonly in children and are sometimes referred to as 'petit mal'. The person experiences a brief interruption of consciousness and becomes unresponsive. They may appear 'blank' or 'staring' usually without any other features, except perhaps for a fluttering of the eyelids. Absence seizures often last for only a couple of seconds and as they are subtle they may go unnoticed.
- Some people experience seizures while sleeping. Since these are usually at night they are called nocturnal seizures. These seizures could also occur during the day if the person were to fall asleep. This does not describe the form that the seizures take, only the time when they occur.
- Some seizure patterns may not fit into any of the above categories or may include elements of different seizures. These are called unclassifiable seizures.
There are three basic epileptic groupings:
- Idiopathic epilepsy: In this group there is no clear cause for the epilepsy and genetic factors may be responsible. The person usually has no other disabilities and the EEG recording is often normal between seizures.
- Symptomatic epilepsy: This is often the result of a structural abnormality in the brain, either present at birth or occurring later in life.
- Cryptogenic epilepsy: In this type of epilepsy, no direct cause has been found.
Treatments for Epilepsy
The most common epilepsy treatment is medication. There are several different drugs used to PREVENT seizures from occurring. All such drugs may have very serious side effects. It is estimated that 70-75% of epileptics may benefit from these drugs. There is NO drug or treatment helpful during such a seizure. The best thing is to make the person as comfortable where they are and prevent them from flailing about and injuring themselves.
Now, as with other "brain problems", the best way is using the Neuroliminal Training (NT). (NT is much less expensive than Neurofeedback/EEG Biofeedback and both are equally effective.)
In my former orthomolecular practice, I used L-Taurine in combination with zinc and that helped many epileptics remain free of seizures. The dosages can be as high as needed of L-Taurine as it is just an amino acid (protein) and like vitamin C cannot be "overdosed" - maybe). Amounts of 3000 per day and even higher have been used, although the usual starting point is 1000 or so. The zinc is usually in doses of 15-30 mg per day.
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.
Testimonials as of April 2011
Six week record of seizures - no medications, only NT CD used. Autistic boy allergic to Meds.
Only 1 seizure usually multiple per day less depression.
Only 5 seizures in 2 weeks lessening of depression continues
8 seizures fm 10/16 to 11/16 - Seizures milder - depression accompanies seizures
No seizures, but they usually come in clusters during one period per month - lessening of depression occurs
Only 2 seizures 10/23 Lessening of depression continues
11/3-No seizures during this period. Autism improved.
One seizure 11/6
