Default Neural Feedback, This can change your life!

Hi all:
I work at a holistic health clinic, world renowned. As part of my position I do biofeedback training with the guests. This has led me to various biofeedback conferences, at which I have learned about neural feedback. This is a form of biofeedback where one's brainwaves are trained to move the patterns to the normal range of functioning in specific brain regions depending on the need which is seen.
I have personally been having neural feedback training for my alcohol overuse and it seems to have made a dramatic shift in my cravings and hence use.
This seems nothing short of miraculous to me and I wanted to share it with the community.
It is covered by my health insurance and this change has come about in 6 one hour sessions, although I am going for 10 total. I've been asured that these changes hold over time as well.
There is controled research which supports the use of this technology for addiction. It also used with kids for Adhd AND WITH ALL AGES FOR DEPRESSION, ANXIETY AND OTHER CONDITIONS.
I hope this is helpful. Feel free to contact me if you'd like to discuss this further.
H

Han, I remember you talking about this in chat the other night. It sounds so interesting, and so I want to bump this up for anyone who has not had a chance to read it.

This may be an alternative to those who can not afford places like Lenair. Especially if this is a treatment that medical insurance will cover.

Thanks for sharing the info!

Love, Me

Hi Han, This is very interesting. I would love to learn more about this. Are there any good websites we can check out? I know that biofeedback for pain management is covered by many medical insurance policies. It would be wonderful if this is as well!

Please tell us how to find out more information. Or, feel free to pm me.

Thanks!

I was a subject in a biofeedback project performed by college students (translate free). I was having tension headaches and it got rid of them.

Det, that was 25 to 30 years ago! I had it at USC (South Carolina). I think it was a Department of Psychology Program. I was part of research and then they probably began using it as a treatment clinic.

Hi All -

I used to work with a recovering Heroine addict who swore that neural feedback is what has saved him from relapsing. Growing up, he also believes he suffered from ADHD. In his exeperience the neural feedback has been a life saver.

This is all second hand news but he did give me the following website. When I looked into it, it was not covered by insurance (at least not mine). It is expensive, but if it could take away the cravings and constant battle in my head, it may be worth looking into.

Also, I do believe that if you have medical spending account at your work, that this would qualify as a reimbursable expense. You could then finance the cost interest free for a year. That is my current plan.
