it took me a week to get in, and since going my memory, and attention have improved exponentially along with my actual vision and balance and lessoning of all symptoms. the testing involved balance, reaction times, and a plethera of saccade movement , gaze stabalization and pursuit tests as well as VNG. the results were numerical and extremely accurate, my balance went from 49% normal to 81%. my eye moevements were numerical tracked and measured and improved greatly over the week, essentially giving me life back. their exercises consisted of literally electrocuting my tongue, temple and forehead to stimulate neurons in the fore,hind and mid brain. then doing saccade training very similar to what u would see at a vestibular rehab, except for tailored to what is actually wrong with my specific brain, so basicaly following bars and dots. they would charge up my brain to learn, then recalibrate it essentially. amazing

Thanks for the response rjbillsfan2013. One last series of questions. Which clinic did you go to? Was Carrick present?

There's a program on Canadian TV called The Nature of Things. There was an episode from two years back called The Brain That Changes Itself that I highly recommend. Incidentally, it was hosted by the author of said book.

The episode is about neuroplasticity and neurological recovery. It also covers the tongue thing you talked about. However, unfortunately you might need a Canadian IP address to watch it.

*edit*
Unfortunately most doctors I have encountered (in Canada) are not into / educated about neuro-rehab. Most of them simply tell you to rest. For example, my family physician said only people with severe head injuries are referred to rehab programs.This simply isn't true. My neuro-surgeon was able to get me into a highly regarded rehab hospital.

I went to Georgia, and it's carricks top doctors he himself travels the world and gets people out of comas, true story

Thinking of trying gyrostim in colorado...do you know what percentage of people this works for? I've heard from many who said it worked but none who tried and said it didn't. Please let me know!

did you go tothe clinic in colorado

will it help my sleep issues? my pain and severe weakness? My left side only issues, like chills and sweating? I acquired vertical nystagmus. I would put it on credit card if i had to. The pain is in head neck and ribs, shoulders and spine. Would it help with bowel/bladder issues, damaged nerves causing trouble typing sometimes? how much better would i get if i spent the 10000

I think you are going to just have to try it to see if it works for your son. It is very difficult to compare how different people respond to a specific treatment.

does rest after four months of headaches make any difference at all

I did APT and found it very helpful. I hope you have similar results. However, don't be surprised, or alarmed, if you find it absolutely exhausting at first. Good Luck.

Sure, rest will always help the brain. If he hasn't been resting, it should help. If he has been resting, it would appear he needs more. The brain needs rest so it can re-establish control over fluid pressure. Then once his head aches subside, he can slowly reintroduce activity. He wants just enough activity to keep a modest blood flow through the brain.
