I tried lens therapy...thinking bout going back for more treatments...lady said I had slowing...I only went like twice and I have heard you need to go more than that to see benefit....

I asked her if her mapping was similar to qeeg and she said kind of....like a qeeg is a picasso and what she maps is more like paint by numbers...but she most certainly seemed to think lens helps as she is a head injury survivor herself.

I never had a qeeg, eeg was normal...

andy,

If she is recommending LENS for concussion, she is violating FDA Regulations and likely just after your money.

Her map is like paint by numbers with just three colors of paint. She likely learned her skills at a weekend seminar.

Len Ochs of Ochs Labs has yet to publish any of his research data supporting LENS. He once has some articles on his web site but has since removed them. He routinely refers to a book supporting his product written by a man (Stephen Larsen) who just did a bit of research and authored a book to sell. It is not peer reviewed nor is it scientifically based. Lots of hype and unfounded claims.

LENS is only to be used for non-medical issues, such a relaxation therapies.

Save your money. You will have a better chance with volitional neuro-feedback. With it, you are taught how to modify though and concentration to increase some brain functions and decrease other brain functions. It is commonly used to help reduce the symptoms of ADHD. It usually starts with a full qEEG to identify brain dysfunctions.

hey mark,

She wasnt charging me for the sessions...she said that if after six treatments I saw an improvement then I would have to pay, but I only went twice because I had to watch my friend's dogs for two weeks.

The center says it helps with symptoms of closed head injury. The site is http://www.nuincenter.com/directory/shifflett.html

Let me know what you think...I mean I am open to anything that may help at this point....I know I had more than the regular concussion or at least I feel that way as I am really messed up all the time...
