Re: Re: brushing technique

We did the Wilbarger Brushing Protocol every two hours for a year, then

tapered it off over 6 months. We completely stopped it a few months into

working with Dr. Goldberg, and now only do it occasionally when the

SSRI's aren't right for him and his sensory integration is thrown off.

The brushing and joint compressions worked wonders on my son - he was

able to handle life without shutting down or tantruming.

THIS BRUSHING ADRESSES THE BODY DIFFERENTLY. STEVE ASSESSES WHERE THE

DEVELOPMENTAL REFLEXES STOPPED PROGRESSING AS THEY SHOULD HAVE. THIS MEANS

THAT BRAIN FUNCTION ALSO DID NOT DEVELOP AT THE SPECIFIED TIME. IN MY SIMPLE

TERMS HE KICKS STARTS THE REFLEXES WHERE THEY STOPPED AND GETS THE DOMINO

EFFECT GOING AGAIN. HE HAS MAPPED A CLUSTER OF REFLEXES THAT YOU WONT FIND

IN A MEDICAL JOURNAL. HE CALLS THEM THE FOETAL REFLEXES. THEY HAPPEN BEFORE

THE PRIMITIVE REFLEXES OCCUR. IT IS PART OF THE NATURAL PROCESS OF

NEURODEVELOPMENTAL BEING. HE HAS TESTED AND BEEN SUCCESSFUL WITH OVER 7,000

INDIVIDUALS IN EUROPE. HE HAS HELPED ADD, ADHD, DISLEXIA, DYSPRAXIA AND

OTHERS. HE FIRST CAME UP WITH THIS THEORY BY OBSERVING THE FOETUS AS EARLY

AS 5 WEEKS AFTER CONCEPTION ON A FILM SHOT BY A SWEDISH MEDICAL CAMERMAN

CALLED LENNART NILSSON. HE HAS MAPPED 80 FEOTAL REFLEXES AS I REMEMBER.

THE SIMPLE WAY OF PUTTING IT IS HE STIMULATES THE REFLEX BY STIMULATING A

SPECIFIC POINT ON THE BODY. THIS GETS THE DOMINOS FALLING AGAIN. EVERYONE

IS DIFFERENT. HE ADJUSTS THE THERAPY EVERY 2 MONTHS AND YOU WILL THEN BRUSH

SOMEWHERE ELSE. WE BRUSH 5 MIN IN THE MORNING AND 5 MIN AT NIGHT. MY

DAUGHTER IS VERY DEVELOPMENTALLY DELAYED. ONE EXAMPLE IS THAT HER FINGERS

HAVE NEVER WORKED SEPARATELY. SHE ALWAYS CLUTCHED THINGS. NOW THEY WORK

INDEPENDANTLY. HER EYE CONTACT IS VERY GOOD. SHE HAS EMOTIONS AND IT IS

TRULY AMAZING TO SEE HER LAUGH ADN CRY. HER BALANCE IS MUCH MORE CENTERED.

HER SENSORY ISSUES ARE LESS. SHE CAN SIT AND BOUNCE ON A BALL. BEFORE SHE

WOULD FALL OVER. THERE IS MORE. SHE HAS BEEN IN THERAPY SINCE 10 MONTHS OF

AGE. THIS ONLY HAPPENED AFTER WE STARTED THE BRUSHING. THE ADD, ADHD AND

OTHERS WHO WERE ON MEDS WHEN THEY STARTED WITH STEVE NOT LONGER ARE AFTER A

GENERAL TIME OF 1 TO 2 YEARS. THEY FUNCTION IN A NORMAL CLASSROOM SETTING.

JUST A BIT I WANTED TO SHARE
