Fibromyalgia, Chronic Pain, Anxiety, ADD and Your Brain

If you suffer from fibromyalgia, chronic pain, anxiety or ADD; Science shows us that you can find help, naturally, without drugs. Let me explain how.

When you have a weak muscle, you can exercise it to make it stronger, as long as the muscle is not permanently damaged. Of course, you need to know specifically which muscle you want to target with the exercise and how you perform the exercise. For example, if your right bicep muscle is weak, you wouldn’t do sit-ups because your abdominal muscles have nothing to do with your biceps.

Similarly, when an area of ​​the brain is not working properly, it can also be “exercised” through various forms of Brain-Based Therapy.

“Your brain is made up of parts. There is the Cerebellum at the back of the brain and the Frontal Lobe located behind your forehead. In between those two parts is the Parietal Lobe, an Occipital Lobe and a Temporal Lobe working on both sides of the brain” . brain. Let’s think of them as appliances in your kitchen. Just as each appliance has a very specific job to do, so do parts of your brain.

Sometimes these appliances break down. If you open your fridge and find that your milk has gone bad and your ice cream has melted, then you know your fridge needs some TLC. Similarly, when one part of the brain malfunctions, the associated body area or function that the brain controls will not work the way it is supposed to. You may start to notice that you have severe headaches or problems with balance, vision changes, or trouble getting your words out while talking to someone. If you don’t know which part of the brain controls these abilities, you won’t know where the weak link in your brain is and what to do about it.

Brain-based therapy is a series of natural procedures used to identify, exercise and strengthen weak parts of the brain through the use of sensory stimulation. It starts with a functional neurological exam of the brain to find out where the weak spots are. When you come to see me, there are certain things you can do or feel that let me know that your brain is falling apart in particular areas. Once I know where the weakness is, I can use natural procedures to stimulate very specific areas of your brain to restore function.

The human brain can be damaged just like the skin on our body. If we get a scrape on our arm it is called an injury. The brain can also be injured. When this occurs it is because an area of ​​tissue has been damaged by disease or injury. There are many types of brain injuries, some relatively harmless and others very dangerous. There are soft injuries and there are hard injuries.

Hard brain injuries are usually treated medically. When you have a hard injury, like a stroke, you obviously know you have a problem and have probably already seen a doctor for evaluation and treatment. Soft or functional injuries occur when the brain does not receive enough stimulation and, in turn, does not receive enough activity. Soft lesions cannot be visualized with typical imaging methods such as MRI or CT scans. A functional assessment should be used to evaluate a soft injury; We call this type of evaluation a functional neurological exam. Think of it this way: take a picture of a fully open and partially open door in your home. Next, take a photo of a door that gets stuck when you close it, but photograph it in the partially open position, as you did with the door that works normally. Now look at the photos. You can’t tell them apart. You would have to subject each door to all of its actions (opening, closing, locking, etc.) while video recording the activity to qualify as a functional test for the doors. That’s why an MRI of a brain that has a soft lesion looks normal; it is not a functional test.

We must exercise our brains just as we need to exercise our bodies or the brain will deteriorate. Brain-Based Therapy seeks to reverse these soft injuries by stimulating your senses and training your brain to become active and healthy again. This ability of the brain to change, by adding new connections, is called neuroplasticity.

Let’s take a moment to understand the great importance of your central nervous system. The central nervous system is made up of the brain and spinal cord and is the MASTER CONTROL CENTER and information distribution system of your body. You need fuel and activation to survive, thrive, and recover from damage. Sometimes it does not receive an adequate dose of these two important elements and that is when degeneration begins to occur.

Brain-Based Therapy takes into account that the nervous system is a system driven by the senses. Each of your senses is an input to your brain. Your brain receives signals from your senses and responds based on the information it receives. Without input there will be no output. Without stimulation, the brain loses its ability to control very important functions, and it is these dysfunctions that produce many of the symptoms of chronic diseases, such as fibromyalgia, chronic pain, anxiety, and ADD.

The brain relies on crucial inputs to maintain healthy function and that is why Brain Based Therapy is so important and effective. In my office I use sight, sound, touch, movement, vibration, heat, cold, light, and other natural tools to disrupt abnormal patterns within your brain and bring them back into balance. Through the use of Brain Based Therapy, we are able to strengthen the brain and effectively restore its many pathways and connections.

Many doctors, like myself, use specialized tests to measure whether you are getting enough energy and activation for your central nervous system. If you’re not getting an adequate amount of activation, we can improve your brain health by using exercises and targeted stimulation at these weak areas. This is what Brain Based Therapy is all about! We also thoroughly check your body chemistry with laboratory tests for any factors that may interfere with proper fuel delivery to your central nervous system and then correct these factors.

The combination of Brain Based Therapy and functional metabolic testing and treatment is called Neuro-Metabolic Therapy (NMT). NMT is what enables doctors like me to help patients with chronic health conditions when others have given up or failed to dig deep enough to get to the root of a patient’s chronic condition nightmare. There is hope with these specific rehabilitation therapies!” 1

Many years of research have been done on a form of brain-based therapy called neurofeedback. As one of my mentors and colleagues recently said, “I’m working with a boy right now. He’s twelve years old, he took six medications about 6 months ago. He’s very angry, he has full-blown ADHD, and he’s very impulsive. His parents told him They may need to institutionalize him. After six months of a gluten-free diet, neurofeedback, and cerebellar exercises, the boy is almost unrecognizable. He is now well-mannered, well-behaved, and only takes one medication. His father was thrilled. tomorrow telling me how grateful he is for what I do. What a difference we make in these people’s lives.”

In summary, many cases of fibromyalgia, chronic pain, anxiety, and ADD respond well to functional neurology and even better with functional neurology, dietary changes, targeted supplementation, and neurofeedback.

The best part; these cutting-edge treatment methods are drug-free and effective. Tell someone you know who is suffering unnecessarily to try Brain-Based Therapy
