Dear patients, dear friends, We are excited to let you
know that we have added a new breakthrough, cutting-edge therapy to our practice.
It’s called Advanced Neurofeedback therapy. We want to be able to help
you faster and at a deeper level, especially patients with emotional,
learning and stress related disorders. You all know that our focus
is holistic care. We believe that what you eat, how you feel and what you breathe
affects your health. We also believe that all the systems in your body are
connected and they are all controlled by your brain. We believe that when
your brain works, your body responds. Over the last several months,
we have done our due diligence in selecting the most advanced and
groundbreaking system in multi-sensory brainwave therapy. We spoke with
several doctors in other states who can only report about the wonders and
miracles happening in their practices. That’s why we decided to
invest in a Neurointegration system from Clear Mind Center. Their system is
truly the most advanced in the market. It’s the only system that fully
integrates qEEG brain mapping with photic stimulation and neurofeedback. It’s
also the only system that can suppress and stimulate different areas of the
brain at the same time on different hemispheres. We also have access to a
clinical brain map database that allows us to generate qEEG reports in a
matter of minutes. Some of you may ask why you
would choose our practice for neurofeedback therapy and not a psychologist or
other therapist. First, we are the only
practice in the San Jose Bay Area and beyond to offer this type of Advanced
Neurofeedback therapy. Secondly, because conditions
need to be treated holistically. Neurofeedback on its own is not as effective
if patients don’t follow a healthy diet, nourish their brains with the right
supplements and eliminate any foods that cause allergies and food sensitivities.
For example gluten (found in grains), casein (found in milk) and sugar can
cause severe inflammation in the brain. So can metabolic issues such as
toxicity or yeast. Certain physiological issues can cause stress in the brain
as well. Therefore only a holistic doctor can treat multiple stressors and maximize
the success of neurofeedback therapy. As an introductory offer,
during the month of October 2010 we will give existing patients a
complimentary qEEG brain map. We also offer 50% off Advanced Neurofeedback
therapy with an additional 10% prepay discount. Some of you will be glad to
know that certain health insurances may reimburse neurofeedback, so check
with your insurance. I encourage you to pick up
one of our brochures in the office or check out our website for
more information. And don’t forget, give us a call to set up your appointment
for a complimentary qEEG brain map. Yours in good health, Dr. Samuel Jamieson, D.C. |
Experience Advanced Neurofeedback. Existing patients receive a complimentary qEEG brain
map during October 2010. A breakthrough in non-drug treatment of emotional, learning and
stress related problems. Chemical imbalances in your brain can
lead to mood problems, anxiety, depression, ADD and a host of other ailments.
Unfortunately most specialists treat complaints prescribing drugs without
considering the brain as the source of both the ailment and its cure, and
ignoring the damaging effects of the drugs on the brain. With Advanced Neurofeedback, we are
now able to measure the electrical activity in each of the different areas of
your brain. This activity is measured in different frequencies called alpha,
beta, delta and theta brainwaves. We can identify areas that are operating
too fast or too slow and teach those areas how to normalize their activity. For example, in some patients,
anxiety is associated with a brain pattern of excessive beta brainwave
activity. It is as if the brain is idling too fast and the patient finds it
difficult to relax. Patients with this pattern usually have generalized
anxiety, worry, ruminate excessively, and have difficulty turning off their
minds and going to or staying asleep. Children with Obsessive Compulsive
Disorder also show a similar high beta pattern. We can train the brain to
dampen beta activity and symptoms will start to disappear. Retraining abnormal brainwave
patterns often eliminates or improves symptoms of the following disorders:
What is Advanced Neurofeedback? Advanced
Neurofeedback, also called Neurointegration is the newest groundbreaking
approach in multi-sensory brainwave therapy. It uses a unique and
state-of-the-art combination of qEEG brain mapping, photic stimulation and neurofeeback
which are totally integrated into one therapy. ·
qEEG
brain mapping allows us to “look” inside your brain and identify areas that
are functioning too fast or too slow and find those areas that are responsible
for some of your symptoms and ailments you live with every day. This
knowledge helps us to pinpoint what areas of your brain need training. ·
Photic
stimulation uses colored glasses flashing at a specific frequency. It is a
powerful technique for encouraging your brain to produce specific
frequencies, through the well documented entrainment process. ·
Neurointegration
uses photic stimulation with EEG neurofeedback therapy, leading the brain into
the proper balanced state. It offers individual therapy totally customized
for your condition. For example it can suppress an area of your brain that
works too fast and at the same time stimulate another area that is too slow,
as indicated on your brain map. We need to exercise our brain. Most people think of
exercising their body; however, few understand the need to exercise their
brain. Just as lifting weights can produce bigger biceps, training your brain
into normal patterns can improve your emotional and physical health. Imagine
a brain workout center with a personal trainer that guides your brain into
working more efficiently and improving the way you feel. Properly balanced brain rhythms
result in optimal brainwave patterns. Our emotions are a reflection of the
rhythms in our brains: excess beta can produce anxiety, too much frontal
alpha could result in depression, or elevated theta could produce ADD.
Training your brainwaves into efficient patterns allows your central nervous
system to learn how to self-regulate, directing it away from debilitating,
painful, destructive disorders, into effortless processing and optimal
functioning. How does neurofeedback work? Neurofeedback
therapy works through a mechanism known as operant conditioning. ·
When a part
of your brain is operating at an abnormal frequency (too fast or too slow),
the brain can learn to normalize the activity of that area. The brain is a
learning machine. ·
If you tell
your brain what it needs to do to be normal and give it a reward for doing
it, it can learn to make less of the abnormal activity and more of the normal
activity. ·
As your
brain gets better at making the normal activity, the threshold for getting a reward
is raised. Eventually your brain gets so good at making the normal activity that
it no longer needs the feedback, and is able to make the normal activity
whenever it is required. ·
The healthy
changes are permanent since your brain creates new plasticity by reorganizing
its functional neurological pathways. For

Clinical studies for Autistic Spectrum
Disorders (ASD). Several clinical studies
have been conducted with ASD children and qEEG assessment-guided Neurofeedback
with great results. We recommend you read “Connectivity-Guided
Neurofeedback for Autistic Spectrum Disorders”, a paper by Robert Coben,
PhD. In his studies, Dr. Coben
shows the effectiveness of qEEG assessment-guided Neurofeedback in comparison
to other biomedical ASD treatments:
Note: All benefit to
harm ratios listed are from Rimland, Autism Research Institute, based on 2005
parent ratings of biomedical interventions; Neurofeedback ratio is from Dr.

Patients share their experience with
Advanced Neurofeedback. A bright future for a creative
child. ”I brought my son Oliver in for
Neurointegration therapy after being referred by a school psychologist.
Oliver has always been a wild child – overactive, inattentive, and difficult
to control. But it wasn’t until he turned 13 that those traits got him into
serious trouble at school. He was never bad, just ‘disruptive’. I feared that he would begin to get into
more trouble as he grew older. We tried several medications for ADHD and
while his fidgeting ceased, he also grew introverted, irritable, had no
appetite, and was unable to sleep. After just a few Neurointegration
sessions, Oliver was more calm, focused, and enjoyable to be around. Other
people began to notice Oliver’s brilliance and creativity. Oliver really
enjoyed the therapy too – a rare thing! Neurointegration therapy calmed his
worn-out nervous system and gave his racy mind a break. I’ve never seen him
so engaged before. This has been the gift of life.” Mother of Oliver
Reese How I resolved troubling issues,
ragged relations and bad habits. “My life was out of control and I could
barely function – even with simple tasks. I was constantly reaching for
something to make me feel better – coffee, food, alcohol and pills. After
every binge I would promise myself it was the last time, but instead I found
myself ‘quitting’ my self-destructive habits every week. My mood swings were
becoming noticeable to others. The highs were short-lived and the lows seemed
to last forever, leaving me feeling hopeless, depressed and anxious. I had a
constant, unexplainable underlying tension, putting me on perpetual edge.
During my first Neurointegration session my body felt calm and I was able to
release deep unconscious material that had been haunting me for years. As my
session progressed, I found myself less reactive, the constant ruminations
had finally stopped, and I felt more grounded in my body. This new space
allowed me to step away from destructive looping patterns that had once
dominated my life and gave me the ability to create a new, happier and healthy
way of being.” Susan Malon We hope you also
