You can purchase SmartBrain and use at home - we have bought it and will be

trying it out. Supposed to work on ADD/ADHD issues - that was our reason for

purchase - would be great to find it works for sleep too!

(BIG p.s. Because of our success with the Proteus, I found a local psychologist

who specializes in neurofeedback. My son was tested and found to have an

" abnormal " brain (qEEG study) compared to a nationally normed large sample. He's

high beta and hypercoherent, basically opposite of ADD, more like OCD or

Asperger-ish. Using NASA-patented technology, he plays video games and the

doctor programs the game to futz out (slow down, fail) when he's using the wrong

brainwaves to think. And, it's fixing him! His moods are good, no meltdowns, and

things are getting better each time. Highly recommended if you can find a

certified practitioner of the SMARTBrain technologies! !). (p.s. he said that

the neurofeedback also fixes sleep issues ...).

Melatonin helped my son with ADHD for a week then the night terrors/sleep

walking started...took him off it and they went away. His is currently

undergoing neurofeedback therapy and his problem falling asleep and night waking

has gone away after the first 6 sessions. His emotion regulation is so much

better now too...looking forward to his overall improvement by the end of 30+

sessions.

Hey, Let me know if the home version of SmartBrain works for you, would you? For

my son, I am going to continue with the psychologist and his administration of

it because I think my son's issues are more complex. But, once he's done, I'm

thinking we'll need to do maintenance doses of SmartBrain at home to insure he

doesn't forget how to self-modulate and " think straight " .

I can't believe this stuff works so well. His mood is WAY better, more flexible,

less obsessive, much better tolerance levels, not even close to having

meltdowns!! Yay! I am looking to see if the doc (with neurofeedback) can help

tone down the hypercoherence so he can use the social parts of his brain

properly so he can pick up other's feelings, empathize, initiate social

interactions at school ... and maybe get some abstract thinking, big picture

thinking, and creativity going. But, for sure, the hyperfocusing (high beta) has

to be down to a normal level before the hypercoherence can be modulated. So,

that's where we are at with the doctor. I am wondering if LENS is going to be

better for hypercoherence, but I have to read up on it more.

My 6 year old went from wetting pants during day, said the he couldn't feel it

coming out, to dry when we started the SCD diet, when he spent sometime at

grandmas during holiday and came back issues happened again. I am thinking that

it was yeast issues, food issues he ate alot of fruit when he was there. Just

something to consider for her.

My seven year old (nearly recovered) has never been dry at night, but when he's

dysregulated, one of my first signs is both impulsivity (can't stop agitating

his sister) and tons of urination. He will urinate 10x more at night (two Good

Nights can't hold it in) and have numerous accidents during the day where he

both can't feel it coming out, and also can't feel the wetness in his pants. He

doesn't even know he wet until you ask him, and he looks down, surprised.

It may be yeast, but I lean more toward bacteria. In my son, typical yeast

symptoms would come back on genova tests as horrible bacteria (usually

clostridia). That's why I think those tests are so valuable. Some kids just

don't fit the mold, and mine is one of them.

We have done all the other rule-outs and tried everything....he's been to a

urologist, we've tried mag, we made sure he's not diabetic, etc. We just found

out he has a thiamin deficiency and I was reading about a possible link there.

But definitely, when his gut is good, his urination is completely under control

during the day, and just a teensy bit at night. We are very strict on Houston

Enzymes and do a pretty healthy diet besides. We were GFCF for nine months.

she just doesn't seem to want to focus on it. any thoughts?

Sara.. When I read your post it made so much sense.. We have been on SCD so we

were clearing up the yeast and bacteria at the same time. But everything your

seven year old would do mine would do. What? my pants are wet? Oh! Somedays I

wanted to scream.. It is great to hear these posts because we take for granted

sometime and this helps us realize where we have been.. and that we are making

progress.. Thanks

.. That is interesting.. Before I put the kids on the SCD diet I went to

the doctor for myself what I thought was leaking bladder issues.. and she told

me well that occurs in middle aged women... blah...blah.. blah.. but after being

on the SCD diet with my boys since august Not 1 problem.. well unless I am

laughing hysterically and can not breathe.. LOL.. So that is a good observation

in our children as well. I have a friend that had bladder surgery.. and she is

still having issues.. maybe she needs to look into this.. Thanks for the

thought process.
