Neuroliminal Training and CFS study seeking participants.

[Guest guest]

Neuroliminal Training and CFS study.

Psychologist Phil Bate, PhD and myself are doing an informal study of

neuroliminal training as a treatment for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). For a

written and audio description of what neuroliminal training is visit

www.drbate.com/howitworks.html

Neuroliminal training is believed to change the amplitude of certain brain waves

in a way similar to EEG biofeedback (Neurofeedback). Biofeedback is a

fascinating and heavily studied medical treatment promoted by such groups as the

Mayo Clinic. See www.mayoclinic.com/health/biofeedback/SA00083 to read the Mayo

Clinic description of biofeedback. Published case studies of EEG biofeedback

suggest it appears to be a useful treatment at least for some cases of CFS.1,2 I

have heard many anecdotes of EEG biofeedback helping people with CFS, including

by a respected psychologist I met and a CFS patient acquaintance who wrote to

me:

" . something I cannot stress enough is that biofeedback was the heavy weight

champion after diet when it came to fixing my disease. Without a doubt without

the feedback I would still be fairly disabled. Everything started to work when

the brain was healed, it's as if the hormones could finally organise themselves

once again maybe. Everything changed the day I found biofeedback. " , July 2008

Dr. Bate claims that his neuroliminal training has similar brain re-training

effects as EEG biofeedback. Informal research Dr. Bate has done suggests it

helps ADD/ADHD, autism, insomnia, depression and other health issues. He has

mentioned it on many occasions on a mailing list we are both members of. I

suggested he test it on CFS patients, and if he did I would help him as I

support research into any non-toxic treatment for CFS. He readily agreed. We are

currently seeking participants for this study. Individuals will be assessed for

changes in energy, cognitive function, sleep and emotional distress. Dr. Bate is

confident we will see positive results. If you are interested in joining this

study please visit www.neuroliminal.com/volunteers.html for further information.
