Re: 2 brain retraining programs that help fibromyalgia, CFS or chemical sensitivities

January 17, 2011

Well, Gupta got one thing right. There are opportunistic retroviruses

involved - mainly because our immune systems are compromised. The

retroviruses are secondary, though. In my system, they rise up less

frequently through the years. How he came up with the amygdala portion

of the brain, I don't know. I guess this part of the brain regulates

anger control, etc. Much more than the brain is involved. The Mayo Clinic

should have completed its study last summer, but no great news has

been forthcoming. It appears that the study has been scrapped.

The other program seems to have emerged at the same time the one from

the UK did.

Without top neurosurgeons behind me, I'd be very much afraid to change

any brain functions that our Creator superbly engineered. I believe in

His healing in His time. I believe that He will give us answers soon.

We need only ask.

The brain, including the amygdala, is an elastic, adaptive organ. Every day, it

is being " retrained " simply through learning, experiencing, and feeling. The

amygdala stores and retrieves emotional memories. Every time an emotional

experience occurs, neural networks are created along synapses, and these get lit

up like Christmas tree lights when that experience is recalled. So if an

experience is to overact to stimuli--because, for istance one has PTSD--then a

path is laid down to the amygdala that gets reinforced every time one

overreacts.

Neural retraining is just a fancy term for accessing these pathways to painful

emotion in order to process them into less painful/ distressing memories

experiences, thereby creating new neural networks, ones that bypass the

emotional center of the brain.

It's not messing with an organ like surgery. It's marshaling what the brain does

every single day. It's not unlike using flash cards to memorize.

I don't know anything about Gupta but the concept of brain retraining is nothing

new. It's cognitive psychology. It's what people do every time they do guided

imagery (relaxation) CDs or use prayer to ask for soothing. For you, prayer is a

means to talk to God. But at the same time, prayer does healing things to the

brain.
