EsthersDoll,

I wonder if you are confusing neurofeedback with neurotherapy such as LENS and ROSHI. The non-volitional neurotherapy systems do have a problem with seizures and other adverse events.

The neurofeedback that uses volitional therapy has a very good and safe record. Its goal is to teach the client to get better control of their mind and body. Think of bio-feedback for control of Blood Pressure and Pulse. This neurofeedback asks for the client to make thought changes to change the wave-forms to a targeted wave form. It can be highly effective with ADD/ADHD.

With PCS, it can help the client develop under-developed skills to use to overcome some PCS symptoms. Sometimes, the PCS client has allowed some brain systems to get lazy. This can help strengthen those lazy skills.

Unfortunately, there are many therapists who have tried to put non-volitional neurotherapy under the same name as volitional neurofeedback. They do this to get the treatments included in the range of treatments approved for their therapy specialty. I read the online minutes of a large eastern US therapists association where this was discussed as a primary goal.

But, in keg's situation, it was likely used well past the fatigue point of his brain.

His comments regarding HBOT lead me to believe that he is not necessarily getting true healing. Rather, he is getting a booster shot of oxygenated brain cells and some very disciplined rest, relaxation and breathing. This makes me believe that keg is not getting good brain oxygenation during his normal sleep cycles. This is a big problem for me as I have struggled with Central Sleep Apnea since my injury in 2001.

But, what many of us would pay to have those great days of oxygenated and alive brains. I have wondered about trying to get a prescription for an oxygen concentrator and nasal cannula to breath more concentrated oxygen when I sleep. Dreaming with a fully oxygenated brain is so nice.
