Johnny’s story

Johnny, an 8-year old boy, was always getting into trouble at school. He was constantly distracted, didn’t pay attention to what the teacher was saying and disturbed other children. His tutor said he was defiant, because she had a difficult time getting him to do what she wanted. He frequently forgot to do his homework, fidgeted constantly, had nightmares and frequently rocked himself.

What we found

After obtaining a detailed history from his parents and discussing Johnny’s physiological, cognitive and emotional assessments, we investigated the underlying causes of Johnny’s symptoms with a qEEG brain map.

After collecting his EEG data and analyzing the qEEG report, we found features of a child with ADHD, such as a high slow to fast wave ratio in the frontal cortex.

His brain map also showed features of underlying physiological anxiety and inflammation. Inflammation affects the myelin (the protective coating covering the nerves) which slows down the brain and creates brain fog.

With an additional nutritional evaluation, we were able to identify that Johnny had underlying microbial and fungal infections, and was sensitive to certain foods causing inflammation in his brain.

How we treat

We created a custom designed clinical protocol specifically for Johnny. This included 30 sessions of qEEG neurofeedback and brain entrainment, twice per week. We recommended supplements and advised an anti-fungal diet, removing all sweets, sugars, sodas, etc. to address the inflammation.

Using cognitive performance tests and a personalized progress tracker, we monitored and managed his overall progress. When we compared a post-treatment qEEG brain map with the baseline map, we found substantial positive changes in his theta/beta ratio, anxiety and inflammation. This correlated with great improvements in his behavior and academic performance as reported by his parents and teachers.

Julie’s Story

“My daughter has been suffering from ADHD and behavioral issues. Her teachers complained about her bad behavior at school, inability to pay attention and disturbing other kids. The school psychologist encouraged us to get her on medication while the school has been giving her special ed classes. She has been on Ritalin for over 4 years and we are very concerned about the side effects. Doctors had to keep increasing her dosage to manage her symptoms.

We decided to try neurofeedback. After working with the Jamieson Health Center, we have seen great improvement in our daughter’s behavior. She is a much happier, compliant and positive little girl. A few weeks ago, she received the “Student of the Month” award at school. All her teachers have noticed the amazing changes in her behavior and cognitive function. We are so thankful to have found the Jamieson Health Center.”

Noah’s Story

“Before going to Jamieson Health Center (JHC), we had previously consulted another health center but were quickly turned off by their unpromising treatment plan and lack of genuine concern for our son’s welfare. Instead, when we chose JHC that’s where we learned about our son’s gluten sensitivity and metabolic issues. Our 5-year old son had substantial brain fog which impaired his emotions, and mental and social abilities.

The previous place only offered neurofeedback treatments whereas JHC’s approach is more comprehensive. They evaluate each case and make a customized treatment plan for each individual. JHC educated us on how diet can benefit or harm the brain. Based on their recommendations, we changed our son’s diet to eliminate gluten and some other foods. Along with his diet change, proper supplements and neurofeedback sessions we saw tremendous change in a matter of weeks. Before the treatment, our son was a socially unresponsive child with much learning difficulties. Now that his brain fog has been removed and his brain is stimulated, our son is talking a lot more at home and at school. He is also able to manage his emotions and interact with his classmates much better.”

The American Academy of Pediatrics considers neurofeedback a "Level 1 - Best Support" Intervention for ADHD.

qEEG guided Neurofeedback is a promising alternative to drugs without reported adverse effects. It significantly reduces attentional problems and hyperactivity by retraining your brain. When done consistently over a period of time, the healthy brain changes become permanent and symptoms disappear.

Moreover, Advanced Neurofeedback, which combines qEEG neurofeedback with brain entrainment and nutritional solutions, greatly enhances the effectiveness of your brain training, so you’ll need less sessions to achieve your goals.
