Mental Problems & Unsuspected Allergens
The following may come as a surprise to most people, including most medical doctors.
Most mental disease is caused by unsuspected brain allergies!
Dr Marshall Mandell in the early 80’s made this point very clear.He appeared on a Phil Donahue TV program with videos of persons with mental problems dramatically worsened by a drop or less of some allergen.Marshall called these “brain 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.Several MD allergists in that clinic, were very surprised with depression and other mental problems being solved.
I studied allergy/sensitivity extensively during this time.I was surprised to find a list of mental diseases/problems caused by allergens.My previous experience and learning in psychology had never prepared me for such. I found the following in a “standard” text on allergies as “Mental Symptoms”.This surprised me, and may 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or hypersensitivity, Insomnia, Chronic fatigue, crying jags, stuttering, excessive daydreaming, anxiety, panic attacks, withdrawn, listless, seizures, aggressive behavior, anger, irritability, silly, tense, restless, excited, agitated, behavior problems in children, difficulty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 wave just above Alpha, in the range of 12-15 Hz while giving a 4 day orthomolecular seminar in Soviet Georgia in 2000. (later named the SMR brain wave) In the discussion, I remembered that list of mental diseases caused by allergens. I then proposed the following theory: “Raising the SMR brain wave somehow changed the affect of allergens on the brain.There is no other theory that fits this data at present.
I started the first leasing of EEG BF equipment for home use when I returned home. As you can imagine this did not endear me to the clinicians who were charging up to $250 per half hour for the service. 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.)
Dr Jiri Tyrl of the Czech Biofeedback Society listed papers in 2001 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.
This list was further proof (to me at least) that allergens were involved in much more mental disease that was suspected, and that this particular EEG biofeedback (now known as raising the SMR brain wave), DID somehow relieve this allergen susceptibility.(My family has “cured” or alleviated many sensitivities, and some lifelong allergies.)
One of those comic light bulbs went on above my head in April 2004.and I realized that it should be possible to raise the SMR brain wave amplitude 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/ADHD, with a few depressives and insomniacs mixed in. The results definitely showed that both my allergen theory and my subliminal theory were correct.
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/ADHD, depression, insomnia, autism, and epilepsy.
We found lots of evidence In all these tests that my theory of raising SMR solves allergies. In one case twin boys slept in the same room.One boy was ADHD, and he was “cured” in 8 weeks. The other had ragweed hay fever, and that was cured in the same time. Many more such testimonials shows clearly that NT does either cure or alleviate most allergies and.or food sensitivities,
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 January 2009.
