Guest guest Posted December 8, 2003 Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 Jo, I have a suggestion for your demonstration: In our experience, a good starting point may be to do a theta inhibit-only protocol. This is easy to experience, easy to demonstrate and control, and the trainee an get a quick sense of the quieting and focusing effect. You could use a standard SMR/theta protocol (such as " focus " ) and set the SMR threshold very low, so that the SMR target is easy to meet. Then the task becomes mostly one of getting the theta below threshold. Use a simple display such as the " Thermos " window, so the trainee can see when theta goes below threshold, and a point is awarded (with the " reward " sound). This makes it easy to demonstrate, with a single threshold, a quieting and focusing exercise, and trainees can often get the initial gist of what is happening in just a few minutes. Then you can raise the SMR (or alpha or beta, whatever) threshold a bit, so they see the use of combined thresholds, and a more complex EEG task. Also, using the BrainMaster, the animations work well in this manner (make sure you have the updated SW), as the animation will move when the thresholds are met, and it's, again, a simple and intuitive demonstration. You can also watch the " Numbers " screen to watch the values of theta, beta, and others, and even the theta/beta ratio, as the training ensues. As a simple " assessment " , watching the theta/beta ratio is very informative.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 Jo, The easiest thing for most clients to do, and the safest, is simply to bring down slow activity. I'd hook folks up at Cz or C3 with an A1 reference and have them reduce 2-5 Hz. It really gives the client a sense of control of the equipment quite quickly. Just have them focus on the thermometer.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 Jo, The frontal areas do have greater leverage, since they are working over the executive control center of the brain. That can be good or bad. If you jump in and train the wrong thing in the frontal lobes (not difficult to do if you haven't done an assessment), you could easily generate poor responses or even negative responses. That's not good for business. The central strip is a very safe place to train, and it has many connections to the thalamus, which is a key center with effects throughout the brain. Remember that for many years the pioneers in neurofeedback did all training at Cz, C3, C4--and many people still do. What you really want in a demonstration is for people to be able to see how it works--and maybe see an effect, but at least not be scared away by a negative effect. That's why I would stay on the central strip and stay with inhibit-only protocols. Pete RE: ADD Pete, Thank you for your reply. Would you tell me why Cz or C3 instead of Fz or F3?

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 I use the assessment depending on the childs age and control capabilities. With young or very active children, I would start with SMR training and find the effective SMR frequency and do the assessment with adjusted freauency bands after there is some control.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Thanks! Fatigue and distractions are sure causes of ADD for me. Or often I will focus on something about a person that I'm more interested in such as how they are saying things, the sound of their voice or if I'm trying to determine what kind of person they are, and not hear what they say, or I'll look at things with a creative eye instead of a practical eye and these types of things I attribute to purposeful ADD that I've engaged because of my own interests or boredom or disinterest. But then there's non-purposeful ADD. One thing I've noticed is that my brain has a mind of it's own. At times it will automatically filter what it thinks is interesting without regard for what's important. It will filter things I've heard before even if I've forgotten them on a conscious level, will automatically seize on the novel. Other times, such as when I'm involved in a conversation and someone is taking a long time to say a simple thing, my brain will filter out everything the person is saying except the one important bit. Other times my brain will just not focus at all or very poorly all around no matter what I do.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Hi Christel Pretty much anyone who eats a normal American SAD diet has ADD. It just isn't possible for the brain to function well on funky fuel. They have made it a syndrome, but it is just basic common sense. The body was created to run on real food from nature, not manufactured food from the factory. Just give her real food and I bet she will be smart as a whip. .. . .hum. . .how smart is a whip? Perhaps smart as a smart person is a better phrase. Smile I don't mean to sound crass or whatever, but there is no need to find a support group or discussion group. That's like looking for an answer to " why do I feel tired when I don't sleep? " If her brain gets good fuel she won't have difficulty paying attention or comprehending. Warmly Donna http://www.excellentthings.com http://www.goodhealth.nu\us\1387/ 10% Discount on first order with ID#1387 ADD My granddaughter just had a lot of testing done because she has a problem >reading comprehension< The final result was >>mild case of ADD< She is not hyperactive at all but gets distracted easy. Somewhere a long time ago I read something about this but can't remember anything because it was not of interest to me at the time. Does anyone know if there is a support group or someplace where I can learn how to deal with this? What I read was diet related.

What I read was diet related. Hi Christel, I have several files I've put together on the subject of ADD. If you'd like me to share them with you by private email just let me know starshar@... Two years before I became a grandmother myself, I discovered that I have lifelong ADD. Like your granddaughter, it was not the hyperactive variety. There is so much info available on the 'net, you could be reading from now till eternity, believe me! Echoing Donna, I doubt that you would need a support group---except if it would make YOU feel better. Most children with ADD are actually far above average intellectually, but they do need some help in the focusing department. Some of the best work is being done with biofeedback. My own research tells me that Ritalin, et al, is rarely needed except in certain physically related problems. There are many natural supplements that have been used with success in ADD. BTW, I'm a voracious reader and researcher, but still have terrible comprehension problems! Yet, when I'm determined I can ace almost any test I study for. Look up Thom Hartmann's books on ADD at Amazon to get the really positive picture of ADD. Thom himself has ADD and has led a life full of incredible achievements. Rest easy!

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 For people with reading disorders, ADD etc., there is one system that helps them to read. The person places a clear colored plastic sheet on top of the page. The specific color is different for different people. A chiropractor I know practices this and she says it not only helps her, but various children and some adults that she treats. You can read more about it here. The book that started it all is on Amazon for a buck. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0399531564/104-7769587-6952757?v=glance & n=28315\ 5 Best, Nenah Nenah Sylver, PhD http://www.nenahsylver.com * The Handbook of Rife Frequency Healing * The Holistic Handbook of Sauna Therapy * products and services for wellness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While good nutrition fortifies the brain cell membrane thus preventing rapid misfiring and superior cytoplasm; colored sheets may help a few, both of these suggestions lack scientific evidence. By that I mean a mathematically predicitable model that is reproducible (in the classroom) and is peer-reviewed. Check-out mood-Bell learning processes, LPLB.com. With treatment gangster kids just aren't angry anymore, Rez kids actually want to acculturate and Hispanic and African American kids gain just as much... 86% proficient in 4th grade. Please question your testing process, your local school is obligated to teach your child the way they learn... No Child Left Behind is really WWIII!

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Does anyone have any suggestions as to what foods/vitamin supplements help with ADD symptoms? My son has developmental dyspraxia but via therapy we have really come up the developmental ladder and he seems to be having more trouble with lethargy and ADD symptoms more than anything else right now. I tried spinach and it seems to help but then I read that there can be an opoid effect to spinach too! (oh, will it never end!) We have no access to a DAN here in Alberta, Canada and I am waiting for a dental appointment to remove a filling otherwise I'd be heading down the lead pathway myself! Again, know of any foods that help with ADD? (No HD issues, quite the opposite for my sluggish lad). Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 The resaon the spinach " helped " is:spinach is one of the richest sources or FOLATE known; and Folate improves function; I have never heard of Spinach as being an opiod; though I have heard of spinach aas being an Oaxalate. My point would be: I do not agree you should have stopped the spinach! Everything we eat has either an opiod or an phyto estrogen; a phenol or a bioflavinoid. These are what foods are made of combined wiht Vits Mins Protein etc I'd get him back on the Spinach immediateley and I mean this seriously. Spinach is also high in Beta-Carotene; Vita.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Anne, I'm probably stating the obvious, and you probably already know this, but just in case: There are certain foods (or should I say additions to foods) you really need to avoid, and they shouldn't be overlooked.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 (ps should reaad: Vitamin B4 is Choline) Hello ? I think you meant to direct this to Janice good answer though ! MSG is MonoSodium glutamate a toxic seaweed; the only knonw source which contains both Sugar and Salt in a natural form. Not good. MSG depeltes Vitamin B6 like a plague; Chinese food usu. has MSG. A temporary Lack of Vitamin B6 caused by MSG can cause: " Carpel tunnel syndrome; headaches; Bursitis and other like painful nerve disorders. Just by elimiating chinese and other MSG Laden foods like canned gravies and frozen food sauces; and increasing Vitamin B12; Vitamin B6 + Folate; one can improve many undesirable symptons fast ! Thiamine Vitamin B1 is an absolute must in any " mood disorder or similar ADHD symtons. Remember your child is not a mold or to be molded ! Your child is an individual to be artistic or musically inclined; even if this means only the appreciation of music so PLAY MUSIC; esp good old tunes like and the Wolf and the Beach Boys or Beatles ! Music cheers the mood and uplifts the soul !

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Can you share what the tendon guard area exercise would be? From: Galister D'cruz <galister.dcruz@...>Subject: ADD Date: Tuesday, October 7, 2008, 6:14 AM Hi Grace, My son's main issues right now are Auditory Processing and Attention Deficit. When we saw Dr Masgutova 2 weeks back, she worked specifically on these areas. The tendon guard was one area we were asked to work on. We noticed an improvement in my son's attention span almost immediately, about 5 days later. It lasted for about a week but since then, although we are doing the follow up , it appears to be waning. Possibly the fact that the quality of our work isnt as good as hers is making a difference. We are however hoping that if we keep at it, we'll see longer term improvement. I am also looking into why exactly he has attention deficit and trying to address those issues. As may know there are 6 types of AD/HD. My son isnt hyper but is inattentive. He has visual and auditory processing issues that may well be contributing to his problem. We hope Reflex can correct these.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 I did find that I thought " taurine " foods were crucial for my own ADD kid (one of the older kids) - (about 2-3yrs ago) I was info slamming food lists & comparing them to us, what we ate and when, working with timelines & other fun stuff...I remember none of the pertinent details (go figure, eh?), but I do know I tagged taurine as a specific need to this one child of mine, and not so much with the others. Omega 3's, I soo need a chart, lol...if the 3's are the same as evening primrose range of EFA's, then this compares too - Evening primrose oil was a staple at our house for many many years - we had a smallish set of basic supplements that felt necessary & this was one of them. If evening primrose is not one of the Omega 3's, well, then, ummmm not sure...I do know fish oil totally rocked for my migraine girl, but did not feel like it slowed her down, as much as it just made her brain work better - major social & verbal gains, along with some startling " remembering " for her. One of the reasons I think kids are taking in more than you know, more often than you know - just waiting for the resources/healing/etc to access it. ...hmmmm, not sure how helpful this is, but will post anyway Whew! - busy busy kids, nothing quite like em wishing you the best answers, elizabeth > > I am doing a file review with ANdy.
