There's a new drugless therapy that works for most mental problems. It has NO bad side effects! It's easily affordable even to low income families! It works to change brain wave amplitudes by subliminal messaging. It's much simpler and much less expensive than EEG Biofeedback, (aka Neurofeedback). In 4 separate volunteer tests over the past 3 years, it has clearly shown that it is at least equally successful to EEG Biofeedback, a proved albeit very expensive therapy.
(For a synopsis of all four tests completed from 2004 to 2007 go to: www.drbate.com/Ref/SubliminalSynopsis.html).
It's called "Neuroliminal Brain Wave Training", although most just call it "Neuroliminal". (There's a Patent Pending on this new usage). The most common usage is while sleeping, although some have also used it during the day as background audio with success.
How does it work? It uses a special combination of speech and audio sounds combined in a subliminal message on a repeating CD. Some call it "beneficial brainwashing". The 4 tests conducted over 3 years are described at www.drbate.com/SubliminalSynopsis.html. These tests have shown clearly that this therapy is very effective for ADD/ADHD/autism, depression, insomnia, epilepsy, etc. The last test (ended in January 2007) included 9 autistic kids ranging in age from 3 to 11 years old. Those results showed a very similar overall improvement in an 8 week reporting period as would be expected in a similar group using Neurofeedback.
A new volunteer test is scheduled to begin in July 2007. It will last for 2-4 months overall, with reporting data bimonthly. Volunteers with Alzheimer's, MS, PTSD, anaphylaxis, (severe allergy), autism, epilepsy, schizoid, and other severe problems will be accepted and has just gone out. Since Neuroliminal Training seems to do exactly the same thing that Neurofeedback Training does - namely, change amplitude of different brain waves, and success has been achieved by Neurofeedback with such difficult cases in the past, this is the next logical test. It will use a CD that raises the SMR brain wave, lowers the Theta brain wave, and increases the brain blood flow. (The same CD used in the previous autism test.) Details are available at www.drbate.com/alzvolunteers.html.
What are the drawbacks or potential dangers of this new therapy? The only real drawback is that it takes time to really "brainwash" beneficially. There has never been shown any real danger to either Neurofeedback or Neuroliminal. Like the tortoise, slow and steady wins the race, but it takes time. Neurofeedback definitely works for most of these mental problems. It is NOT a "magic pill", but it does seem to work miracles over time.
