The Power Of Electro-Nutrition For The Brain

We know to take omega-3s, B complex, iodine and other good stuff for brain health. We take vinpocetine and gingko to stave off memory decay and aging. Vital nutrients for the brain preserve our faculties and also enhance our moods.

But don’t forget that the brain is also a finely tuned electrical organ; its wires run everywhere in our bodies. Nourishing the brain therefore means also electrical harmony. I call this electronic nutrition!

If you’ve not yet learned about massive progress in brain entrainment and integration, you have some catching up to do.

These days we don’t think of “right brain” and “left brain”, so much as whole integrated brain. It’s one organ; not two organs! We function far better when the two sides are balanced and working in harmony. Neither is better than the other, in any sense.

In recent years advanced electronic equipment has enabled us to explore the way our brain works and how it resonates energetically. The use of binaural beats allows us to change brainwave frequency and also to balance up the two sides.

Add to that the phenomenon of frequency following or “flicker following”—the use of synchronous flashing lights to alter brain frequencies—and we now have some pretty powerful tools to persuade the human brain to work better.

We can create deeply relaxing states at will. It’s not spooky or synthetic. In fact, after years of research into this, I can tell you our brains just LOVE it! Continue reading

Is This The Age Of Anxiety? – part 3

The holiday season overtook us… but I was about to deliver on a promise of what can you DO about anxiety. It seems quite a few people are eagerly awaiting the answer. I’m not surprised this piece struck a chord with so many: I believe it is indeed the Age Of Anxiety. It’s everywhere: economics, politics, religion, environment, gender issues, career… and now, of course, this year particularly: end of the world!! It would be pathological NOT to feel somewhat apprehensive.

As I showed with part 2 of this article series (Masserman’s Cats), anxiety is really uncertainty and contra-survival shocks that destabilize us and leads to tension. If you always know where you are going to live; that you will always have a home and food; that your job is secure; your God is not going to let you down; and your government is working to keep you safe; then you probably won’t feel insecure and will never know real anxiety.

However, there is still the physiological condition of anxiety: tension, adrenalin or (later) cortisol, leading to agitation and restlessness. You can get that from eating the wrong foods, as I found out in the 1980s. Nutritional deficiency, such as is rampant today in the Western world, with it’s manufactured junk, will lead to depletion of positive neurotransmitters, such as serotonin and dopamine. You will certainly FEEL anxious, till that is corrected.

Electronics also do a lot to over-agitate the nervous system and keep us in high beta (brainwaves of 25 Hertz or more).

What can we do? Continue reading
