After sessions, he was noticeably happier, nearly
anxiety-free, calm, and much more focused.”
Tim’s 2010 spring break was life-changing. We spent five
days in Southfield, Michigan, which is right next to
Farmington Hills in the outskirts of Detroit. Twelve
brainwave synchronization sessions were scheduled in
five days, which would amount to 15 hours total. He
went in with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity
disorder), difficulty sleeping, lots of anxiety, and
depression as a compounding result of all of these. The
initial brain map showed his brain was constantly
racing, even when he was supposed to be at complete rest
and relaxed. It also showed in times where he needed to
focus, the right brain (creativity) waves increased
while the left brain (logical) waves decreased. It
needed to be reversed. Protocols for these four areas
were run repetitively, along with one for his restless
legs nearly halfway through. I sat in the room with him
for every session, and was amazed to see for myself
every time anxiety or ‘trauma’ as they call it was
released by the brain. They explained that trauma could
include the most obvious things like injuries,
accidents, and major illnesses as well as a two year-old
having an ice cream cone stolen from them. Sounds silly
I know, but it’s real.
After twelve sessions, he was noticeably happier,
nearly anxiety-free, calm, and much more focused. We
were told the full extent of the benefits will be
evident in two to three more weeks, since the actual
conditioning will continue for this long after
treatment. He listens to a CD two to three times daily
to enhance the treatments. The results are forever…that
is, until we suffer more ‘trauma’.
We have always thought Timothy would one day become
an engineer, but he has a new interest in Quantum
Physics. That would be just fine too if he chooses that
line of work!
Dan and I both hope to return to Neuro Fitness Center
in the future to help us live more balanced lives
ourselves. For now, this has been incredible, and some
of the best money I have ever spent.
V.W , IL
With the
help of group therapy, I learned that I have a disease in which to arrest, I
have to stay clean from drugs and alcohol. I prayed on a daily basis that I
could gain some acceptance that a happy life does not consist of cheap pleasures
and a quick fix. This new way of life was given to me as a second chance. I
was previously in critical condition. I tried to take my own life as I couldn't
take the pain of heroin withdrawals. I took a bottle of blood pressure
medication hoping that it would do the job. I gave up on life and couldn’t find
a reason to live anymore. In fear that I would not die from overdose, I severed
my left radial vein and right brachial artery. I suffered from brain injury due
to lack of oxygen and lost 3/4 of total blood volume. Flat lining twice and for
a period fourteen minutes, my brain received no oxygen. There was little hope
for a life without mechanical ventilation or a response to any stimuli.
Miraculously, I was weaned off of a ventilator and began to respond to commands
such as "blink twice for 'yes’”, wiggle your toes", "Squeeze my hand". Shortly
after, I was wheelchair bound working on speech and occupational therapy. A
month later, I was walking with a cane for the assistance of my left side. Due
to dysphasia, my speech was muffled and slow. I had swallow precautions due to
the risk of choking on my own saliva my peripheral vision was poor and my depth
perception was two dimensional. It was frustrating to get dressed every day.
Writing was a challenge because I lost the dexterity in my fingers. A cognitive
skills test showed a loss in my short term memory. The chance to regain it was
slim. My I.Q remained above normal but I couldn’t bear the fact that I looked
and talked like a handicapped person. My dreams of becoming a nurse were
crushed. I graduated from nursing school before this incident occurred, but I
didn’t think it was a realistic goal to prepare for my state boards. It is,
after all, a requirement to have good communication skills, excellent fine motor
skills and good memory. Most importantly, I didn't think pursuing a career in
taking care of patients was altruistic for someone with addictive tendencies,
like me.
In
addition to the physical and mental disabilities, I had emotional insecurities,
as well. I suffered from untreated chronic depression for thirteen years. I
would self medicate with any mind altering substances. My whole life consisted
of periodic traumas. Both parents were abusive alcoholics and one of them died
when I was nine-teen. Episodes included bankruptcy, death by suicide, violent
street crimes and molestation by a family member. Co-dependant relationships and
drug use was the way I knew how to cope with my past. Drug use was the only
means of comfort I was familiar with, especially when experimenting with needle
use. I've been told numerous times that, my life did resemble the Jerry Springer
show, or a soap opera to be polite.
After I
hit rock bottom with a near death experience, my brain was slowly healing. The
damage to my hypothalamus started rewiring to other sections of my brain. I got
discharged from the hospital with the impression that it takes two years for my
brain to fully heal. I started going to support groups for my history
of addiction problems and was taking Zoloft for my depression. I thought I was
managing until I found myself relapsing continuously and visiting my
therapist more frequently. I was sleeping most of the day and eating to feel
any sense of satisfaction. It became so excessive that it was a risk to my
overall health. I didn’t want to replace one habit with another. I just wanted
to feel right for a change. I knew there was something missing in my body.
Vitamins and meditation were just not cutting it. I wanted a sense of
control over the way to go about living a happy and healthy life.
It wasn't
until recently; I took my psychologist's suggestion to give brain training a
try. On 12-17-09 I was scheduled to see brainstate technology in the works. I
wasn't going to participate unless I was guaranteed improvement in my motor
skills and substance abuse problems, as those were the primary factors to my
chronic depression. I was convinced to have this non-invasive procedure
performed on me. My father decided to help me come up with the money in these
desperate measures. .
After the
treatment, the results were breath-taking. The improvement in the occipital
region of my brain meant my vision became more ensync. It was like comparing my
old vision to a box T.V. and my new eye sight to a plasma screen. I am walking
with better gait and balance. I speak more clearly and with more intonation.
This means I can swallow without putting myself at risk for choking. No longer
dehydrated or struggling with low energy. My sleep has improved and my dreams
are no longer pertaining to drug use, as they were before. My coordination
allows me to run without tripping, play drums with a steady beat and cook
without cutting myself, for a change. My dysphasia is gone, allowing me to make
facial expressions and be a character again my memory has improved drastically.
I used to forget the water running and the stove on all the time. Now I'm
studying for my nursing boards and have confidence that I will pass this
time around.
Overall, this procedure gave me results beyond my expectations. It helped me
beat my physical and mental disability My brain tells my body what it needs. No
longer do I let my actions condition my brain with the things I know I don't
need. Does my body or my brain still crave stimulants? Honestly, I do think
about it but I don't have a desire to act upon smoking, drinking, drugging or
fighting with my disease of addiction. Simple sugars and salts, in excess do not
agree with my body, in the same way that pessimism does. I just crave what my
body needs; fruits vegetables protein, water fresh air and laughter. It may
sound too simple but it was the one thing I had lacking all this
time; A partnership between my brain and my body, in complete serenity.
This
experience took place in just six days. This is more improvement than I got in
eight months of therapy (physical, occupational, speech and recreational
combined). I am truly amazed at the potential my brain had in storage. It would
have never been revealed without this radical procedure. As a candidate who
underwent twelve sessions’ of brain training, I am confident that there is
nothing more evolved than this holistic approach to recovery. I cannot explain
the gratitude I have toward Lee Gerdes for such a phenomenal invention. Thanks
to Neuro Fitness Center, Art and David Mcullar, for performing the sessions on
me. Last but not least, my psychologist, Jeff Lucas, for recommending this to
me. I wouldn’t have the trust in anyone but the person whom I confide in the
most. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have any knowledge that brain training
even existed. All of you proved to me that the sky is the limit and
possibilities are endless.
Johnson A. Owner, Construction Company, suffered from a Stroke
Franklin, MI
I suffered a stroke in April 2007. I could not walk without assistance. I always
leaned to the left, I could not maintain my balance. I had pressure behind my
left eye socket and could barely see out of my left eye I had a great deal of
trouble sleeping. I thought that the life that I had built for myself and my
family was over. My business was suffering which caused me to become depressed.
My friend Art, who would come and see me every other day in the hospital told me
about this new technology that he was going to Scottsdale for training could
possibly help me. He had asked the therapist while I was in rehab one day how
long would it take someone to recover fully from a stroke like I had suffered.
The therapist told him anywhere from 8 to 12 months minimum depending on the
individual.
Art came back from Scottsdale training the first week in June. I was his first
client on June 8, 2007 before he had opened up to the public. He would come and
pick me up everyday and take me in for Brain State conditioning.
After my seventh session (4 days) I was able to stand up strait and walk
unassisted in a walker and I started sleeping better. After my thirteenth
session I was walking without a walker, I was using a cane. The pressure behind
my left eye socket and the left side of my head had decreased greatly. I could
see better out of my left eye than I could before I had the stroke. I felt much
calmer. I didn't let things bother me anymore the way that I use to. After about
two and a half weeks of BSC I was able to walk on my own without any assistance
what so ever. I was so amazed and was such a believer in this technology. Today,
after about 4 weeks of BSC, not the 8 to 12 months that the therapist said. I am
happy to report that I am back driving and more importantly I played 18 holes of
golf just 2 days ago. Shot a 94.
There are no words that can describe how I feel Right now. I told my friend Art
that he saved my life! He told me that I saved my life by believing that I could
get better by doing BSC. I now have my life back. Thank you Art for all that you
have done for me and my family. Thank you for bringing this technology at a time
when it was so desperately needed.
Linda P , Attorney , Suffered from Sleep deprivation and anxiety
Detroit MI
I came to Neuro Fitness Center with a short list of challenges that I deeply
wanted to have addressed~ sleep deprivation and chronic anxiety. I can count on
one hand the number of nights this year during which I
have slept without awakening. It is quite common for me to wake several times
during the night and to stay awake for long periods of time. I have completed a
12 sessions with Neuro Fitness Center and I am
happy to say that my sleeping pattern has changed. My nights of sleep are far
less broken~ I am only getting up once at night and thankfully I go back to
sleep within minutes. My slumber is deeper and much more
restful. This is a very significant improvement for me as I have struggled with
broken sleep and a lesser quality of sleep for over ten years. In addition to my
being a natural worrier, my professional responsibilities as well as the
personal challenges in my life cause me to be filled with anxiety and worry more
often than I would like.
Before my sessions were complete, I saw a difference in the way in which I was
handling both personal and professional aspects of my life. I reacted very
calmly to a very serious recurring problem at work which
has typically caused my stomach to flutter. Instead of the anxiety that I
previously experienced in just thinking about how I would handle it, I faced it
head on. And, once it was addressed, I was done with it! No
second guessing my decision~ simply done! Likewise, I feel better about some of
the relationships that are most important to me. I find myself being more honest
about my feelings and putting myself first, without guilt! I attribute these
significant changes to brain state conditioning and deeply appreciate the
support that Neuro Fitness Center has provided.
Matt D., Retired Military Suffered from PTSD and
substance abuse
Michigan
I am a sixty year old Vietnam veteran with PTSD. I suffer from depression,
substance abuse, and extreme clusters headaches. I heard about RealTime
Balancing from a good friend in Sedona Arizona who went through the program
in an attempt to save a failing marriage. My friend stated that the program
really helped the marriage and even eased his wife's chronic migraine headaches.
I had been asking the Veterans Administration for the last 2 to 3 years for
other approaches to the PTSD than the regular " Talk Group Therapy" and
countless psychotropic pharmaceuticals, some of which had left me impotent for
over 3 years. Unfortunately, to no avail. I had even over the years tried
private counseling, at great personal expense. It was essentially no different,
basically the same approach-Freudian….My sleep patterns were about 12 hour per
day, frequent nightmares, slovenly personal care and a lack of energy. No lust
for life. And when my cluster headaches were in full swing my
attitude would dramatically deteriorate.
Taking my friend's advice I immediately contacted Mr. Art McCullar of Neuro
Fitness Center and visited him at his office with my fiancé Cathy. We were
impressed with the company video presentation and I immediately signed up for
the next available sequence of sessions. After the third day of sessions I
noticed a dramatic change in my sleep. I was only sleeping six to seven hours a
night instead of twelve and as an added bonus I was waking up with an erection
every morning. Before Brain State Conditioning I was lucky to get an erection on
waking maybe once every 10 days!!!
My outlook on life has improved considerably. My energy level is Phenomenal and
by the end of the third day I went home and told Cathy that she should take the
RTBcourse too! She hesitated at first, saying it would ruin her summer. I said
NO, it would improve her summer. Cathy was scheduled for back surgery last fall,
she has spinal stenosis, but she avoided the surgery by regularly seeing a
naturopath for massage therapy. So, I signed her up for sessions also and she is
starting them today. I think RTB will help her pain.
Meanwhile, I don't know if RTB has helped my cluster headaches as they are
characteristically a seasonal phenomenon, they usually start on November 1st or
in early April, only time will tell. I have completed my sessions 5 days ago and
the morning erections put a big smile on my face. What a way to start the day!
The lust for life has returned! I have also been diagnosed with heart arrhythmia
for 8 years and I have been taking increasing doses of medication to try to
alleviate the condition. I am scheduled to see a cardiologist in a few days.
Maybe RTB has had some effect on this electrical problem….
I was on probation for substance abuse. After over 36 years of self-medication
and inebriation I am hopeful that returning to a balanced state through RTB can
help me avoid drugs and the negative consequences associated with them. My
attitude is very positive and I have been drug free for quite some time. When I
had my evaluation done at Neuro Fitness Center by Mr. David McCullar I realized
how far and wide my imbalance was. After only 2 days of sessions Dave was
able to graphically show me that I was rapidly getting rebalanced. I guess I was
lucky to be able to visualize peaceful conditions so well. I may need some RTB
"Tune Ups" in the future, but hey, All
equipment needs maintenance.
R.G , Famington Hills MI
When I first heard about brain-training, I was intrigued
and yet maintained a healthy level of skepticism. Upon learning more about the
Neuro-Fitness Center's specific brain-training technology as well as the basic
idea of using sounds to "tune" the brain, I became willing to try the
Neuro-Fitness center's brain-training in hopes of alleviating some of my anxiety
related problems.
I was suffering from moderate to high anxiety and had
trouble sleeping nearly every night. I also experienced a lot of physical pain
- with symptoms similar to those described by patients with chronic fatigue
syndrome and lupus. I was also extremely emotional and had bouts of crying at
the thought of past traumas.
Initially, I remained skeptical about the efficacy of the
process, but came in with an open mind. David helped greatly in putting me at
ease with the process. He was able to explain the technology in a way that
inspired confidence in me.
After the first session, I felt greatly unsettled. I felt a
lot of repressed anger arising again and had vivid dreams. Again, David was
able to put my mind at ease by explaining that part of the healing process
involved a release of past traumas.. He assured me that this reaction would
ease quickly. Indeed, after the third session, I was falling asleep more
easily, sleeping soundly during the night, and consequently required less hours
of rest in order to wake up feeling refreshed.
After about the tenth session, I felt significantly calmer
and less irritable. I found myself to be more expressive and able to be more
diplomatic when dealing with people. As the weeks have gone on, I've found
myself able to deal with situations that would usually arouse great anxiety in
me with surprising aplomb. Most remarkably, I've experienced a noticeable
reduction in some of my physical symptoms. Previously I experienced a
pin-pricking sensation all over my body as soon as I lay down every night. Now,
I experience it only once or twice in a two week period and for a much shorter
period of time than before.
I still have ups and downs in mood and anxiety, as is
natural. In fact, I feel as if I have a natural range of human emotion. The
difference I seem to have observed is that negative emotions and thoughts seem
to pass more easily and infrequently make a reappearance once they have been
dealt with.
I believe that Neuro-Fitness Center's brain training
program has helped to fine tune my mind in order to allow me to then continue to
pursue other techniques to improve myself. I will be able to better attest to
the true benefits of the protocols as the months go on and the lasting and
cumulative effects of the protocols become clear. I recognize the importance
of cultivating good habits in order to continue to see benefits and look forward
to reporting on these even greater benefits in the near future.
Judith A Waugh, Ph.D.:
“After 5 sessions of RealTime Balancing, I noticed an increase in clarity and the ability to focus, which increased my ability to make decisions without any accompanying stress. My sleep improved and the morning after my last session I awoke feeling energized and stronger.”
Rebecca M:
“I have had over 100 sessions and look back at the unlayering of trauma - both physical and emotional. My breathing has improved (I have been on Oxygen for 4 years due to a very serious lung disease) and many other surprises came my way. Those include calmness, focus, more energy, a happier state of being, better math skills and, I'm quite sure, a higher IQ. Thinking and doing are easier and relationships seem smoother. Presently, my eyesight is improving. My gratefulness for this technology, and in particular, the people in Sedona who worked on me, is beyond words!”
Jack, Melton
My name is Jack B. Melton. On February 5, 2005 I suffered a major stroke
effecting the right side of my body. I was told by doctor's I may never walk
again, as I then resided in my wheelchair. Also I was told I would have no
use of my right arm or hand.
Through much therapy, including massage, acupuncture, and physical therapy
combined with a positive attitude I began to walk with a brace on my right
leg assited by a cane. I also regained limited use of my right arm and hand.
After 23 sessions of Brain Conditioning with Art McCullar at Neuro Fitness
Center in Michigan I have removed the brace on my right leg that I relied on
to walk, and I walk a lot without my cane. I no longer suffer with the
hyper-tonicity in my right foot that curled my toes under and made it that
much more difficult to walk. My left hand, that began to hurt constantly
from dependence of the cane, has fully recovered causing no pain at all. My
overall strength is improved and my energy levels are higher. I find it much
easier to get through everyday without the desire to rest half way through.
I offer my encouragement and support to anyone interested in RealTime
Balancing ™and may be having any doubt in receiving treatments. My home
telephone number is 772-468-9941 for anyone to contact me with questions.
Sincerely,
Jack B. Melton

SK, mom:
"How do I begin to thank you for giving me back my life?"
"I have been depressed, in one form or another, for most of my adult life. Years of therapy and antidepressant use have helped at various times, but the underlying feelings of hopelessness and helplessness never really went away. I came to Brain State Technologies as a last resort. My marriage was crumbling and my children avoided telling me anything they thought would upset me. I felt that I lived my life walking on egg shells.
“After the first session, I was feeling more hopeful than I could ever remember feeling. Family and friends started commenting that I seemed different.... I smiled more. After the 7th session I was thinking clearly, focusing on my writing and interacting with my family in a new and healthy way. My husband and I are working at reestablishing the marriage we once had.
“Thank you for giving me a fresh start."
JB, marketing associate:
"Your staff is the greatest! I have to admit...when I first came to your office I was embarrassed to open up to the person doing my assessment. But I have to say, everyone was just GREAT! No one ever judged me or made me feel inferior because I had these problems (ADD & obsessive compulsive). I felt so relaxed! And the results speak for themselves... I've been off ALL my medications for over 3 months!
THANK YOU!!!!”
PL and BF, artists:
“Both changed their creative expression capabilities to gain positions of confidence and strength in the art world.”
PW, consultant:
P.W. is a consultant who needed organization, sales capability, and clients. After brain training, his sales increased significantly as did his proficiency. Clients now benefit from his additional insights, and business has grown to the point where he has found it necessary to add staff. His golf game has also improved.
JW, business owner:
J.W. had a business that was struggling and facing extreme financial hardship. After brain training, he increased his confidence, his creativity, and his salesmanship to land the biggest deal of his career, with Donald Trump himself. J.W. and his wife have started couples training, and report that their marriage is stronger than ever.
Martz Agency:
is an advertising agency which wanted more creativity from its staff. Brain State Technologies trained key 5 staff members for 9 sessions. The result was a significant increase in closure rate based on new and highly creative solutions. Additionally, the staff worked together more efficiently and harmoniously.
17 year old boy, was struggling at school:
“Neurobalance (Brain State clinic in South Africa) has really helped me in many different ways. The main thing that Neurobalance helped me with was sleeping. I slept very well and therefore I woke up easier and was more awake during the day. It also helped me to concentrate in class. I now seldom find myself daydreaming. I now also find it easier to sit down and focus on one particular task, and I feel more confident in myself.”
51 year old businessman, wanting improved mental capacity:
“I entered into the Neurobalance training program more out of a sense of curiosity than with the treatment of a specific medical condition in mind (well that’s what I thought anyway). Having read some of the documentation explaining the treatment, I did however feel that at the age of 51 it could be beneficial to focus on any aspect that might contribute to an overall sense of wellbeing, improve my mental capacity, etc.”
