No drugs with ADD/ADHD and Brain Wave Optimization

See "Ritalin Gone Wrong" by L. Alan Sroufe, PhD Psychologist in New York Times: Sunday Review for January 29, 2012. The article points out lots of issues with Adderall and Ritalin including: "...they neither improve school achievement nor reduce behavior problems. The drugs can also have serious side effects, including stunting growth."
Many ADD/ADHD clients are finding Brain Wave Optimization very helpful.  This includes both adults and children and no drugs are used.
The husband of one client at Brain Integration Institute, A CIHH provider, noted after just a few days of a 10 day "Intensive" that she had started to speak in whole sentences which he had not known her to do.
Why not try letting a brain correct itself by balancing itself--instead of chemicals.

Current opportunities to help our community with tax-deductible donations

Current opportunities to help our community with tax-deductible donations
Opportunity #1: A directed donation to decrease the suffering from ADD/ADHD

According to the Center for Disease Control, approximately 9.5% or 5.4 million children 4-17 years of age have been diagnosed with ADHD, as of 2007. The prevalence of parent-reported ADHD diagnosis varied substantially by state, from a low of 5.6% in Nevada to a high of 15.6% in North Carolina.
Recent studies indicate that ADHD is one of the most costly health conditions in the US. The annual cost for ADHD is $77 billion topped only by alcohol abuse and clearly ahead of drug abuse in terms of cost.
Adults who were untreated for childhood ADHD are reported to have higher divorce rates, higher incidence of alcohol and drug abuse, more traffic accidents, lower self image and optimism, and lower levels of satisfaction with all levels of their lives.
The human and monetary costs of this disorder can be devastating for individuals, families and communities. In a time when as a society we are taking too many drugs, even as children, effective, non-drug approaches to this debilitating problem commend themselves for consideration. Brainwave Optimization™ available through The Brain Integration Institute has been shown to be transformative for many people with ADHD.
A tax deductible gift of $36,000 to the Foundation for Integrated Health and Healing, a 501c3 non-profit, would allow 20 young people to experience this often life changing approach to ADD/ADHD and result in a nice tax break for the donor. Donations of any size are welcome.

Opportunity #2: A directed donation to decrease spouse abuse related to alcohol abuse
The consequences of the use of tobacco, alcohol and less socially acceptable drugs cost the citizens of the United States an estimated $609 billion annually. The human cost in terms of damage to individuals, relationships, businesses and communities is equally staggering.
Consider the costs to taxpayers for incarcerating and then treating an alcoholic spouse abuser, often a repeat offender. The American Society of Addiction Medicine has recently stated that “Addiction is a primary, chronic disease of brain reward, motivation, memory and related circuitry.” Brainwave Optimization™ is an advanced neuro-technology that effectively guides a brain back to its natural, healthy, balanced state.
The brain is the control center for the entire body, including the autonomic nervous system which regulates our organs, muscles and overall physical well-being. Throughout our lives, emotional and physical trauma can cause brainwaves to become unbalanced, resulting in such behaviors as addictions, anger, depression, physical pain and illness, and general disconnection or hopelessness. Brainwave Optimization restores the brain to its natural high-functioning state through a safe, non-invasive process that requires no medication and has been proven effective with nearly 40,000 clients.
A one time tax deductible donation of $36,000 to the Foundation for Integrated Health and Healing will permit twenty consenting individuals to undergo the process of Brainwave Optimization™ and begin to establish a more cost-effective alternative to conventional approaches.
Brainwave Optimization with RTB™ is not intended to treat, cure, heal or diagnose any disease, mental illness or symptom. Brainwave Optimization with RTB™ is intended to balance and harmonize brain waves. Individual results vary.
The Brain Integration Institute is an independent licensee of Brain State Technologies

Welcom to CIHH - Brevard, North Carolina

The Center for Integrated Health and Healing honors the wisdom and efficacy of conventional medicine, as well as healing philosophies commonly referred to as complementary and alternative medicine.

 

The "Integrated Medicine" approach to healthcare eliminates the dilemma of choosing between the two approaches. The Center offers healthcare services provided by practitioners, each of whom has achieved the top level of licensing and/or accreditation available in their respective fields in North Carolina. Our patients/clients appreciate the convenience of having all our services in one location.
The pursuit of optimal health is an important goal of many of our patients/clients. Achieving balance and harmony in body, mind, emotions, and spirit is commonly viewed as effective in this quest. Lifestyle programs are offered to individuals, couples and families.
We view education of our patients/clients to be of utmost importance. Individuals are thereby empowered to make well-informed and appropriate choices when selecting health care services
