Guest guest Posted March 4, 2002 Report Share Posted March 4, 2002 This is also the preparation that is used for Lyme disease. It may seriously be wise to do a 'vaccine' with Ledum for one's whole family, and repeat it every so once in a while. son Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2004 Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 I hope it works for you, I really do. I am really having sleep problems..........I had my first Neurofeedback apt./mostly evaluation.....sounds promising.........but not sure how it really works to change brainwaves........we will see. Please keep me posted on the Ledum........ I'll let you know how the neurofeedback works. Conniek nwnj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way it works is on the premise that all biofeedback uses--as long as your body gets feedback, it can adjust its response. That's how you learned to walk, for instance . In terms of neurofeedback, you don't normally have access to your own brainwaves, so you can't really " adjust " them. But neurofeedback measures your delta, theta, alpha and beta, sees which ones are excessive or diminished, and sets a parameter that shifts toward a more normal brainwave pattern, without being a radical shift. That pattern is hooked into a computer game, and then you play a " game " with your brain--whenever your brain temporarily shifts into that healthier pattern, you get a ding-ding, or a ball rises, or a pacman gobbles something--whatever game you are playing, you " win " . So your brain gets positive feedback on the healthier state. And though you can't consciously figure out what you're doing, somehow you get accustomed to sensing that better state and being able to shift into it. I experimented with it a few times years ago, because friends/colleagues were developing one of the main neurofeedback systems. I remember I discovered that if I focussed very strongly on a tiny detail, like a twig outside the window, or a detail of a painting, I could get the ding-ding--and I remember feeling in a strangely euphoric state after one session. Thus if for instance, you don't have enough slow wave (delta), or you have too much beta (active waking/thinking), you could learn to shift it into more balance. It might help sleep, it would be interesting to see if it did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for explaining the neurofeedback to me.......the more ways this is explained to me, the better I can understand. Sometimes the person who is giving the treatment (what ever that treatment is) will explain it in a way that is too complicated for the lay person to really understand it fully.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2004 Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 Hi Kezzi - What is Ledum? Is it homeopathic? And what does 1M mean? How long are you going to be off the samento? Thanks, Laureen >Now my DVM friend who treated her own Lb with Ledum 1M is putting me >on the same protocol. She is Lyme free. Hope I get the same result.... > >Kezzi. . . > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 26, 2004 Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 I forgot to mention that they set the parameters so that you will have enough success that you will be able to shift into that new range, and then they set them again, etc, so slowly shifting you into a healthy brain pattern. Your brain needs enough positive feedback to be able to " learn " how to do it. You will learn how to do it without being able to conscious articulate or explain it. Your nervous system will learn and remember the state you want to get into. Good luck. If you find it effective, your doc can prescribe, and you can purchase a home system that is relatively inexpensive and can be used on a laptop. WHen I did hyperbaric up at New England Hyperbaric a few summers ago, their main therapeutic modality was EEG neurofeedback. They had helped epileptics etc. The doctor there was up on the latest and greatest. I think the ideal is to work with a practitioner, get trained, get improvement, and then if you are motivated, do it at home--in the end that will be cheaper (besides, I tend to think self-regulated home therapies are the best psychologically and physically) > <<<<<Thus if for instance, you don't have enough slow wave (delta), or you > have too much beta (active waking/thinking), you could learn to shift it > into more balance.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 From: " Laureen " <laur@...> > Hi Kezzi - What is Ledum? Hi Laureen... Ledum is a homeopathic from either rosemary or rhododendron... I'm not absolutely certain. Never asked!! [Ledum] rosemary is used on small joints and rhododendron on larger ones.... > Is it homeopathic? Yes. > And what does 1M mean? It has a high potency of 1000 to 1 (1000 parts Ledum to 1 of the pillule) > How long are you going to be off the samento? 7 days. Sorry about the short answers. Head's all over the place. My withdrawal from the abx and Samento caught up with me at 8pm last night. Don't know which is responsible! I have a fever, hallucinations and an almighty 'herx'. Temp up to 38C but chilly. Didn't sleep much. I'll try to get my head together later on and diarise this. Feel absolutely awful. Took first dose of Ledum this morning 7am. Blessings, Kezzi. . .

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 Thank for all the information on Neurofeedback. I kind of thought it was a little too easy for me to keep the colors in the boxes..........I guess as she works with me, things will become more difficult. I hope we get success sooner than later.....because the sleep deprivation is making me a little crazy.....I hate to go back to taking drugs........but I may have to.
