Neuroliminal Training – New inexpensive training does the same thing that EEG Biofeedback (AKA Neurofeedback) does, but at a fraction of the cost!
How does Neuroliminal Training work? Instead of using a lot of expensive equipment and doctor time to solve various brain problems such as ADD, ADHD, depression, insomnia, etc, Neuroliminal Training does it with sleep therapy, a new approach using subliminal messaging. (Subliminal messaging is not new, but this usage is, and a provisional patent has been issued to Dr Bate.) This is usually done with an audio CD played while you sleep.
Neurofeedback or EEG Biofeedback has been proved to be the very best method of training for over 30 years, but the costs involved have prohibited all but the high income families. At prices ranging from $75-$250 PER HALF HOUR session, and 40-60 of these sessions required, the cost is very high. Compare this to a total of $97 for ADD/ADHD Neuroliminal Training.
To understand a bit better, realize that Neurofeedback/EEG Biofeedback works by simply measuring brain waves, and using these measurements (biofeedback) to consciously encourage the unconscious mind to gradually make these desired amplitudes change permanently over a relatively long time. Because this is a sort of brainwashing, it takes a long time to be effective.
How long is, of course, relative to each individual.

The Effects Of GABA | Vitamins & Supplements

GABA – Supplement Effects – Side Effects
GABA, or gamma-aminobutyric acidm, is the most important natural neurotransmitter found in the brain. Discovered in 1950, GABA was researched and tested before it ultimately gained the reputation as a chemical that could induce relaxation, analgesia, and sleep. Studies have been conducted, 
two specifically, regarding the use of GABA and its effect on relaxation and immunity to stress.
The first study was conducted with 13 participants. The study set out to look at the relationship between GABA intake and brain wave activity. The results showed that the GABA had greatly increased brain alpha wave activity within 60 minutes of being orally administered (it had also, in turn, decreased beta waves). These results indicated that GABA not only increased the propensity for relaxation, but, also decreased overall anxiety levels within the experiment’s participants.
The second study looked at participants whom were placed in a “stressed out” mental state. This was done by asking them to cross a swaying bridge. The volunteers were divided into two groups; a placebo group and a group who was administered GABA treatments. Immunoglobulin A (IgA) levels in the saliva were tested throughout the experiment (lgA inhibits relaxation). In the end, it was determined that lgA levels were significantly higher in the group that had received GABA, when compared to the placebo group. The conclusion indicated once again, that GABA could be used as a natural relaxant within 60 minutes of oral consumption.

Stress Relief Music: Entrain Your Brain | Music Production Info
Posted By gluhring on September 18, 2009
There is an old saying that goes “Music doth soothe the savage beast”, or something to that effect. It turns out there is more truth to that adage than you might expect. Scientist, through extensive studies into brain wave management, have shown that certain frequencies can be combined to create stress relief music. Utilizing this technology, digital music makers have created CDs and MP3 libraries of music designed to provide health benefits including stress relief, improved sleep habits, and mental focus.
The mechanism behind the design of these digital stress relievers is the science of binaural beats.
What are binaural beats?
Experiments in audio stimulation and reaction have determined that when two different sounds of similar frequencies are sent one to each ear, the brain initiates a process called entrainment.
Entrainment is a phenomenon that occurs when the brain automatically adjusts itself to the two different frequencies being piped in, and essentially filters out the difference between the two frequencies to create a new differential frequency or “beat”.

A Few Truths About The FDA
Posted By gluhring on August 31, 2009

Almost everybody knows that the FDA The Food and Drug Government Agency was originally set up to protect we poor consumers from bad food and drugs. Most everybody still believes that they do that, but they’re wrong! Did you know that 80% of the employees of the FDA work only on approval of new drugs, and less than 20% work on enforcement?
This makes it very plain that the FDAs primary purpose is to approve new and all too dangerous drugs. Not much else matters unless several people die from these drugs. Just ignore the many side effects, which should be a clue to future problems. Did you know that way too many of the persons on the board that approves new drugs have vested interests stocks, friends, boards of directors, grants, etc of the very drug companies they are supposedly protecting US from?
Recently, a study printed in the Journal of the American Medical Assn. showed clearly that there are distinct conflicts of interest in over 30% of all drugs approved, but less than 1% recused themselves from such approval meetings, as they are legally and morally required to do. In a recent case 10 of the 32 FDA drug advisers on the board that originally approved the controversial painkillers Celebrex, Bextra and Vioxx had financial ties to the industry. Thats a powerful set of voters to influence that board. There are way too many persons on that board that are consultants to drug companies; on the board of directors of drug companies; have grants from drug companies, etc. For more facts and info on this see: http://www.citizen.org/pressroom/release.cfm?ID=2184
Did you know that the FDA is partially funded by the drug companies? I .was very surprised to learn that under the 1992 Prescription Drug User Fee Act drug companies were allowed to actually fund the FDA! The so-called Government Agency that is supposed to protect us from bad food and drugs is paid for by the very companies they are supposed to regulate. Even in the Roman Empire, the phrase Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? was well known – who watches the watchers? A conflict of interest! You bet!
