Allergy and Mental Disease

The following may come as a surprise to most people, including most medical doctors. 

Most mental disease is caused by unsuspected brain allergies!

This fact was illuminated for me by Dr Marshall Mandell in the early 80′s.  He appeared on the Phil Donahue show, and had videos of persons with mental problems caused or worsened by allergen testing.  He was the first to name such as “brain allergies”.

In 1982, Dr Von Hilsheimer introduced the first End-Point-Titration allergy testing into Florida, and I worked with him at an allergy clinic in Orlando.  We amazed several MD allergists in that clinic with depression and many other cases being solved.

During that time, I studied allergy/sensitivity extensively.  I found a list of mental diseases caused by allergens that surprised me.  None of my previous experience and learning in psychology had prepared me for such.  I found the following in a “standard” text on allergies as “Mental Symptoms”.  It surprised me, and probably will you.

Schizophrenia, depression, hyperactivity (ADD/ADHD), Emotional instability or hypersensitivity, Insomnia, Chronic fatigue, crying jags, stuttering, excessive daydreaming, anxiety, panic attacks, withdrawn, listless, seizures, aggressive behavior, anger, irritability, silly, tense, restless, excited, agitated, behavior problems in children, difficulty concentrating, memory loss, poor comprehension, confusion, impaired attention, obsessive thoughts, compulsive behavior, feelings of unreality, disorientation, false beliefs or delusions, hallucinations, suicidal, feel like hurting self.

While giving a 4 day orthomolecular seminar in Soviet Georgia in 2000, I was introduced to the latest EEG biofeedback therapy of raising the amplitude of the brain waves just above Alpha, in the range of 12-15 Hz.  (later named the SMR brain wave) In the discussion, I remembered that list of mental diseases caused by allergens.  I then proposed the following theory:  “Raising the SMR brain wave somehow changed the affect of allergens on the brain.  To date, no other theory fits the data. 

When I returned to the US, I started the first leasing of EEG BF equipment for home use.  As you can imagine this did not endear me to the clinicians who were charging up to $250 per half hour for the service.  The actual operation is so simple that anyone with a high school education can easily learn how to do it, although the learned clinicians will (as usual) protest the necessity of a professional approach.  (This in spite of no record of harm being done to anyone, and no license being required to practice this simple therapy.) 

In 2001, Dr Jiri Tyrl of the Czech Biofeedback Society listed papers about EEG biofeedback that showed the following mental diseases as being either cured or greatly improved by this feedback:

 Epilepsy; ADD/ADHD, Learning Disabilities, Academic-Cognitive Enhancement; Anxiety Disorders, PTSD, Sleep Disorders, Depression, Hemispheric Asymmetry, Anger, Addictive Disorders, Brain Injury, Stroke, Coma, Spasticity, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Autoimmune Dysfunctions, Headache and other Pain, Schizophrenia, Obsessive Compulsive Disorders, Parkinson’s Dystonia, Tourette’s Syndrome, Autism; Cognitive Decline with Aging, Asthma Hypertension Dissociative Disorders, Creativity, Optimal Functioning, Criminal Recidivism.

This list was further proof (to me at least) that allergens were involved in much more mental disease that was suspected, and that this particular EEG biofeedback (now known as raising the SMR brain wave), DID somehow relieve this allergen susceptibility.  (Both my wife and I have either “cured” or alleviated lifelong allergies.)
 
In 2004, one of those comic light bulbs went on above my head, and I realized that it should be possible to do the same thing – namely raise the SMR brain wave – by use of subliminal messaging. 

I put out a call for volunteers, and got over 20, who sent me weekly emails for 4 weeks.  Most were various types of ADD/ADHD, with a few depressives and insomniacs mixed in.  The results definitely showed that both my allergen theory and my subliminal theory were correct. 

In 6 more volunteer tests since that time, we have shown that this therapy (named Neuroliminal Training) is at least as effective as EEG Biofeedback (aka Neurofeedback) for ADD/ADHD, depression, insomnia, autism, and epilepsy. 

We’re going even further with a current test that includes Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, PTSD, Depression of all types, etc.  This test will end in January 2009.

Two London exhibitions, the Serpentine Gallery’s Indian Highway and Aicon’s Signs Taken for Wonders, are the UK’s most ambitious attempts yet to distill coherence into the chaotic rush of art emerging from the Indian subcontinent.

The marriage between the conceptually minded Serpentine and Indian art – whose overriding characteristics are narrative drive, flamboyant figuration and sensuous colour – is interesting because it is so unlikely. Recent memorable Indian installations have been sprawling, direct and often rooted in the animal motifs of folklore: Bharti Kher’s “The Skin Speaks a Language Not Its Own”, a collapsed fibreglass elephant adorned with bindis (female forehead decorations) at Frank Cohen’s Passage to India, or Sudarshan Shetty’s bell-tolling aluminium cast of a pair of cows, now at the Royal Academy’s GSK Contemporary. Nothing like that is in Indian Highway; with conceptual aplomb, the Serpentine turns the accessibility and energy of Indian art into a taut cerebral game.

The highway of the title refers both to the literal road of migration and movement, and to the information superhighway, which together are propelling India to modernity. Dayanita Singh’s wallpaper-photographs of Mumbai’s central arteries illuminated at night introduce the theme in the first contemporary art gallery, and a crowd of sober documentary films worthily continue it – but a pair of installations catch the symbolism best. One is Bose Krishnamachari’s celebrated “Ghost/Transmemoir”, a collection of a hundred tiffin boxes – widely used to convey home-cooked lunches to workers across cities – each inset with LCD monitors, DVD players and headphones, through which everyday Mumbaikars regale audiences with their stories, accompanied by soundtracks evoking the high-pitched jangle and screech of Mumbai street life.

The other, towering upwards to the North art gallery‘s dome like a beating black heart at the core of the show, is Sheela Gowda’s “Darkroom”, consisting of metal tar-drums stacked or flattened into wrap-around sheets, evoking at once the grandeur of classical colonnades and the ad hoc shacks built by India’s road workers. Inside, the darkness is broken by tiny dots of light through holes punctured in the ceiling like a constellation of stars; yellow-gold paint enhances the lyric undertow in this harsh readymade.

Opposite is N S Harsha’s “Reversed Gaze”, a mural depicting a crowd behind a makeshift barricade who tilt out towards us – making us the spectacles at the exhibition. All Indian life is here in this comic whimsy: farmer, businessman, fundamentalist Hindu, anarchist with firebomb, pamphleteer, aristocrat in Nehruvian dress, south Indian in baggy trousers and vest, tourist clutching a miniature Taj Mahal, and an art collector holding a painting signed R Mutt – linking the entire parade to the urinal, signed R Mutt, with which Marcel Duchamp invented conceptual art in 1917.

Essential to the meaning of “Reversed Gaze” is that it will be erased when the exhibition closes – a slap in the face for the predatory art market. So will the pink and purple bindi wall painting “The Nemesis of Nations” by Bharti Kher, who recently joined expensive international gallery Hauser and Wirth. And a canvas of drawings greeting visitors as they enter is all that is left of Nikhil Chopra’s performance piece “Yog Raj Chitrakar”, in which the artist this week spent three days assuming the persona of his grandfather, an immaculately dressed gentleman of the Raj, and lived and slept in a tent in Kensington Gardens, entering the gallery only to daub the canvas that stands as an art of aftermath – a memory drawing.

Painting here is a vanishing act. Maqbool Fida Husain (aged 93) has made 13 bright poster-style works – red elephants, a tea ceremony after a tiger shooting, a satirical Last Supper with dapper businessman, umbrella, briefcase, body parts – to surround the exterior of the Serpentine. MF Husain is India’s most respected artist; with these billboards, executed in his standard style of forceful black contours, angular lines and bright palette, he returns to his career origins as a painter of cinema advertisements.

In the catalogue, curator Ranjit Hoskote argues that “transcultural experience is the only certain basis of contemporary practice” and that “the chimera of auto-Orientalism, with its valorisation of a spurious authenticity to be secured as the guarantee of an embattled local against an overwhelming global, has been swept away”.

But Husain, godfather to generations of Indian artists, and indeed every piece in Indian Highway – from feminist painter Nalini Malani’s looping fantasy figures intricately inked on bamboo paper in “Tales of Good and Evil” to Jitish Kallat’s photographic series “Cenotaph (A Deed of Transfer)”, chronicling the demolition of slum dwellings – proves the opposite: however hard a western gallery tries to make Indian contemporary art, talk a global conceptual language, its local strengths speak louder. Indian art, on this showing, is visually arresting and thoughtful, but nothing here is formally or conceptually innovative, or aesthetically provocative. We thus respond to its distinctive idiom and themes as cultural tourists.

I got a brand new iPad Wi-fi+3G from Apple store, and I fooled around for several hours and I realized I was missing something…. It has some awsome functions, but I was left with wanting more applications , ebooks and other multimedia. I searched the various sites for new applications, books and other stuff for my iPad, but the cost to acquiring new media for iPad seemed quite costly!

Pop-up hampers are ideal for many reasons. If you are interested in purchasing pop-up hampers, you will like the idea of when the hamper is not in use it is carefully hidden away and out of site.The baskets are made from numerous types of fabric and therefore will be available to be used in any number of rooms of your home. The good thing about the pop-up laundry basket is that you are able to use them and then fold them and put them away. If you want to leave it open all the time than you are free to do that as well.

If you have children in your home and they like to have their bedrooms kept to a theme, then this is another option for them to place their dirty clothes into which helps to keep their room clean. These are available in a number of themes to be used in each child’s room. If you have a child who likes to keep their room and toys specific to comic book characters, you may want to purchase a hamper that pop opens in the same type of theme. Purchasing the comic book character theme is simple by looking at specific stores who carry the theme and also carry these types of items.

If you have a room that is not a theme but goes along with a specific color feel, then this type of basket is available in nearly every color to be used in a room that has specific colors. If you are looking for a laundry bag that is associated with a certain color and you are looking for a specific color, then you may find that specific stores are able to order the color that you need or want.

There are a number of different sizes available to be used as well. If you want a small hamper that is ideal for such clothes as socks or underwear, then you will be able to have one size available just for that purpose. If you are looking for a pop-up hamper that is able to be used for a large load of laundry, then you will want to look for one that is available in that specific size. The pop-up laundry basket is going to have handles on the side of it that will allow for you to carry the laundry hamper easily. Once you are done with it you either fold it up and place it away or you will leave it open to stand straight up. Either way, the fold-up one is a good hamper to use and are quite popular.

Let me start by adage with the purpose of whichever bad reviews you’ve seen something like X-Men Origins: Wolverine be supposed to be completely unnoticed. Anyone who likes comic books, comic sign up movies, lawsuit movies and blockbuster popcorn flicks in universal will have this motion picture. My expectations were not with the purpose of prominent intended for this motion picture with all the depressing press surrounding it, but I’m cheery to turn up with the purpose of I really enjoyed it. Dressed in detail I liked it better than whichever of the other X-Men movies and I’m a significant fan of individuals.

First up the acting was right fine. Hugh Jackman as for ever and a day theater the character he was born to joke about with significant skill and efficiency. Whether it is a tender flash intended for Wolverine or individual featuring his mark berserker rage, Jackman draws us in and makes us believe pardon? We are watching. Dressed in detail, whichever epoch he is on screen (most of the movie); you can’t take your eyes rotten of him. Liev Schreiber gives a brilliant performance as champ (Sabretooth), Wolverine’s twisted, psychotic brother. Schreiber has such an evil glint in his eyes with the purpose of his evil nearly drips rotten the screen. He could be individual of the finest on screen villains of all epoch. A special shout prohibited intended for Ryan Reynolds as sword wielding mutant, Deadpool. His role is ephemeral, but he makes the finest of it and leaves you not up to standard intended for more. Hopefully it will reimburse rotten intended for Reynolds and audiences the world over and Deadpool will induce his own motion picture right as the rumors come up with suggested. The leftovers of the cast together with Danny Huston, Dominic Monaghan and Taylor Kitsch, to dub but a hardly any, provide fine performances as well.

Director Gavin Hood displays significant technical skill and too does a significant job of keeping the motion picture affecting along on a fresh pace. In the function of far as the lawsuit sequences become, X-Men Origins: Wolverine is on its game, significant epoch. There are quite a hardly any major lawsuit sequences and fights and in a word they are all AWESOME. Each fight is choreographed brilliantly and they are a stimulate to behold. It almost felt like in attendance was more lawsuit in this motion picture than the total X-Men trilogy combined; the film is quite the visceral rush. In the function of far as the storyline goes, Wolverine was right correctly, cool to see while too being very faithful to the source material and it incorporated quite a hardly any twists as well. Dressed in detail a huge chunk of the lettering back story is told in the primarily hardly any minutes of the motion picture in an exceptional montage with the purpose of sets the stage intended for the growing feud among the two brothers. The motion picture really succeeds on all levels. Is it the finest comic sign up film I’ve increasingly seen? No, but it is quite the go into nonetheless.

I don’t really come up with whichever theories as to why the motion picture is being panned by so many critics other than with the purpose of perhaps they were looking intended for Wolverine to reinvent the sweep or break the mold of super hero flicks of the previous like The Dark Knight and Watchmen did. It doesn’t. Seriously though, does all pristine super hero motion picture come up with to break pristine ground? That seems to me like an not on standard with the purpose of will leave you disappointed 90% of the epoch. To sum it up, X-Men Origins: Wolverine is as fun and exciting as Iron chap or whichever of the Spider-Man or X-Men films; and with the purpose of in my outlook is very esteemed company indeed.
