Sound waves lift brain, carry it forward in its bath of fluid like it’s a wave itself. No pain. Eerie feeling. Concussed again. But nothing like the car crash, though I’ve been resisting that PTSD flashback for about a week since this out-of-the-blue incident. Guess I now know why I felt such a push to…

The Brain and Heart Rate with Laser Therapy
Brain injury rose my heart rate to 130. My hypothalamus fix, brain biofeedback, particularly gamma brainwave training, began to drop it. It was a miracle when I first saw my heart rate drop into the double digits during a 3-minute gamma training screen. But it was low-intensity laser therapy (LILT) that dramatically improved my heart…
Harnessing The Sun’s Red Rays For Your Health
Twenty-One
Twenty-one used to be the age of majority — still is in some states. Today, I’ve attained the age of majority in brain injury. Wheeee! I could feel that pain rising up yesterday. It didn’t portend well for today. So I planned to read first thing. Reading does me good. Physiologically. Neurophysiologically. Psychologically. Brainwaves and…
Graduating to New Reading Level
The book I finished reading yesterday is the last one I time and recorded to the minute. I’m graduating to the next level of returning to pre-injury reading when it was as part of my life as breakfast, lunch, and dinner are. From today’s book on, I’m scheduling my reading sessions as a 15 to…
Green Light for Pain
Red light. Green light. Multi-coloured eyeset for audiovisual entrainment (AVE). I tried the red light today with SMR/Beta because I’m so damn tired and very, very fed up. The last time I had red lights for AVE was in my psychologist’s office 15 years ago almost to the month. When he switched the eyesets from…
New Website Feature!
Working Towards A Concussion Website When I wrote Concussion Is Brain Injury back in 2012, I reserved domains to create a website dedicated to pulling together all the information on concussion, using my book as a springboard. Due to the usual problems associated with brain injury, I failed in doing so, though I did try…
Appearing on Lindamood-Bell Radio
I’m pleased to tell you all I was interviewed for Lindamood-Bell radio, a weekly podcast about personal experiences with their courses, research on their methods, and education. Being a student with a brain injury, I wasn’t sure I’d regain my pre-concussion book reading. Lindamood-Bell not only evaluated me fully, unlike the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute, they…
Gamma 38 to 42Hz Study: Results and Discussion
On 13 April 2020, I began a single subject study into audiovisual entrainment of gamma brainwaves at 38 to 42Hz. The ideal gamma brainwave frequency one wants is 40Hz. I finished it yesterday, 10 May 2020. Today, I present the results of four weeks of this study. Results I measured the effect of gamma 38…
