The following fact is a surprise to most people, including most MD's
Most mental disease is caused by unsuspected brain allergies!
This fact was illuminated for me by Dr Marshall Mandell in the early 80’s. He appeared on the Phil Donahue show, with videos of persons with mental problems caused or worsened by allergen testing. He was the first to name such as “brain allergies”. Since there are no "physical" symptoms such as hay fever, hives, etc, few people are even aware of them as a problem. I have never tested anyone without finding some allergies!
In 1982, Dr Von Hilsheimer introduced the first End-Point-Titration allergy testing into Florida, and I worked with him at an allergy clinic in Orlando. We amazed several MD allergists in that clinic with depression and many other mental problem cases being solved.
During that time, I studied allergy/sensitivity extensively.I was surprised upon finding a list of "mental" diseases in a text on allergies. None of my previous experience and learning in psychology had prepared me for such. I found the following in a “standard” text on allergies as “Mental Symptoms”. It will probably surprise you.
Schizophrenia, depression, hyperactivity (ADD/ADHD), Emotional instability or hypersensitivity, Insomnia, Chronic fatigue, crying jags, stuttering, excessive daydreaming, anxiety, panic attacks, withdrawn, listless, seizures, aggressive behavior, anger, irritability, silly, tense, restless, excited, agitated, behavior problems in children, difficulty concentrating, memory loss, poor comprehension, confusion, impaired attention, obsessive thoughts, compulsive behavior, feelings of unreality, disorientation, false beliefs or delusions, hallucinations, suicidal, feel like hurting self.
I was introduced to the latest EEG biofeedback therapy of raising the amplitude of the brain waves just above Alpha (now called SMR - 12-15 Hz) while giving a 4 day seminar to MD's in Tbilisi, Soviet Georgia. (later named the SMR brain wave) In the discussion that followed, I remembered that list of mental diseases caused by allergens. I then proposed the following theory: “Raising the SMR brain wave somehow gradually changes the affect of allergens on the brain. At present, there is no other theory to fit the data.
When I returned to the US, I started the first company to lease EEG BF equipment for home use in the US..The clinicians who were charging up to $250 per half hour weren't happy about this, and they're not too happy about this inexpensive Neuroliminal Training. The actual operation is so simple that anyone with a high school education can easily learn how to do it, although the learned clinicians will (as usual) protest the necessity of a professional approach. (This in spite of no record of harm being done to anyone, and no license being required to practice this simple therapy.)
In 2001, Dr Jiri Tyrl of the Czech Biofeedback Society listed papers about EEG biofeedback that showed the following mental diseases as being either cured or greatly improved by this feedback:
Epilepsy; ADD/ADHD, Learning Disabilities, Academic-Cognitive Enhancement; Anxiety Disorders, PTSD, Sleep Disorders, Depression, Hemispheric Asymmetry, Anger, Addictive Disorders, Brain Injury, Stroke, Coma, Spasticity, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Autoimmune Dysfunctions, Headache and other Pain, Schizophrenia, Obsessive Compulsive Disorders, Parkinson's Dystonia, Tourette's Syndrome, Autism; Cognitive Decline with Aging, Asthma Hypertension Dissociative Disorders, Creativity, Optimal Functioning, Criminal Recidivism.
Compare the two lists, and it's clear that the two cover virtually all mental problems.To me, that was further proof that my original theory (above) is correct.
O:ne of those comic "light bulbs" went off above my head in April 2004. I suddenly realized that it could be possible to raise the SMR brain wave using subliminal messaging.
I put out a call for volunteers, and got over 20, who sent me weekly emails for 4 weeks. Most were various types of ADD or ADHD, with a few depressives and insomniacs mixed in.Both my allergen and my subliminal usage theories were anecdotally proved as correct.An interesting fact - 3 former "failed" users of EEG Biofeedback were included in that test, and they also failed with this one.
In 6 more volunteer tests since that time, we have shown that this therapy (named Neuroliminal Training) is at least as effective as EEG Biofeedback (aka Neurofeedback) for ADD or ADHD, depression, insomnia, autism, and epilepsy.
We’re going even further with a current test that includes Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, PTSD, Depression of all types, etc.This test will end in early 2009.
Dr Bate is a retired orthomolecular psychologist who invented Neuroliminal Training, a simpler and
affordable way to change brain wave amplitudes solving
ADD, ADHD, Autism, depression, insomnia, epilepsy, and more.
