Neurofeedback/Biofeedback For Kids

A "wealthier" family friend was misdiagosed with ADHD when he was 2 and at 24 was able to stop the meds after doing neurofeedback. He paid for anyone in his family to get it, which 5 people took advantage of, and they are all thriving unmedicated. He has also donated money for the company that he went through to set up a location at the private grade school he went to, so anyone in the school can do the neurofeedback. Considering that his career is based in large part upon his ability to focus and make snap decisions and also the fact that I know he is a true, honest, and humble Christian man, I believe it worked for him. If I had the money, I would do this for my husband and my son if it meant getting off the medication.

I think it's snake oil.

AD/HD is a bit of a pet peeve of mine. The schools and daycare people kept telling me that my son needed to be on medication. I did some research. He is highly creative and intelligent. He gets bored in school easily. I switched him to a Montessori school so he could have more self directed learning. He is still at the top of his class, but gets in trouble less. I also cut out junk food, and as much carbs and processed food (high fructose corn syrup) as possible. No fast food, chicken nuggets, pizza, french fries, pop, juice or anything that is not on a diabetic friendly food list. I don't know about at school, but at home he is much calmer. Less spaz followed by crankiness. He is much more of a joy to be around and far more creative. I've also limited TV, video and computer time. I know all this sounds really restrictive, but it has helped him tremendously. It all came about slowly and only as I saw improvements in him. These changes would not have been necessary for my daughter, but they are necessary for my son, and they don't seem to hurt her. I would try some changes to his environment and nutrition before hooking him up to neural scanners. Maybe what is wrong is not your son, but our culture.

HI B.,

Before you go dumping money into something that you're not sure of, I would suggest doing what I did. I detoxed my home and got my daughter on an absorbable multivitamin. Turns out she did not have ADHD as diagnosed but was being poisoned by the chemicals I had in the home. The behavior was the same. Nothing unusual...Lysol, Windex, Pledge, etc. All of these things and laundry detergent, bath and body products, even perfumes are neurological toxins. Some of us handle it better than others and some of us just don't have symptoms until the Fibromyalgia or the Cancers show up...

Detoxing can be simple and inexpensive and it will make everyone in your home feel better. If she is still having some difficulty after that then you might want to proceed with other options but I have found that there is a very high percentage of people that are simply being poisoned. Removing the poison that exacerbates symptoms will always help.

Let me know if you'd like me to walk you through this. I'd love to help.

We've used it for 4 years now. My son was adopted and had TONS of issues. I am thrilled to say that we are in our final year. Neurofeedback has literally saved our family. I didn't want to mask the problem with meds, I wanted it fixed. I am able to have a machine in my home and administer it myself after I was trained. Yes, it's alot of money but I kid you not, I would do whatever you could to provide this to your child. Let me know if I can help you further.
