Re: Re: brain retraining for mcs and more, don't know about effects on mold toxicity

[Guest guest]

Are you speaking about Annie Hopper? For some reason this link isn't

working: get message that says " file not found. " Have been reading about

neuroplasticity and using the Gupta DVDs. Gupta is very geared toward CFS and

the Amygdala. Annie's work is more geared toward MCS and the limbic system.

The book " The Brain That Changes " is a good one which explains a lot about

neuroplasticity. It makes a lot of sense to

me. Anne

(Note to Anne: try link now. Many times there are gaps in link and link will

work if you take them out. Hit reply, resend link to yourself but before you hit

'send' go down and edit link, removing any gaps in it.)

I'm not sure what she meant by " believing " because I haven't read the

article. I think what she might mean by saying you have to believe

in it is that brain retraining is all about changing the negative

thought patterns that reinforce our body's hyper-reactive state. She

requires reading " The Brain That Changes Itself " before her seminar

so that people have a firm grasp on neuroplasticity. I don't know

much about her system; I only know the Gupta Amygdala Retraining

program. He, in fact, says you don't have to believe that it will

work, you just have to do the exercises which involve stopping

negative thought patterns. This is important because our brain gets

stuck on reacting to negative stimuli, e.g. odors, pain, etc. in the

same negative and hyper way (fight/flight ) Brain retraining is

about breaking up those patterns. I'm at the beginning stages so

all I can say is that I find the exercises helpful. I have a friend

who has been doing the Gupta program for a longer time than I have

and she finds that it has helped her a lot. Anne

I do think positive thinking is great, I don't think that

neuroplasticity is positive thinking or self-hypnosis but something

entirely different, I would not be willing to spend that kind of money

on this without some peer-reviewed evidence and I am always skeptical of

therapies that require you to BELIEVE or else they won't work. sue
