The Healing Power of Neurofeedback: The Revolutionary LENS Technique for Restoring Optimal Brain Function Paperback – April 21, 2006

I have been a layman advocate of Neurotherpy since the mid-nineties. My youngest son was a low performing high school student who had been diagnosed with attention deficit disorder. All total he had approximately 40 treatments of eeg-neurofeedback using the EEG Spectrum protocol after trying Ritalin, which he could not tolerate. After neurofeedback treatment, but still with very little confidence, he reluctantly entered college. One day in an algebra class he realized that for the first time in his academic life that not only was he paying attention, he was following what the professor was saying, and he then realized that the change was probably due to the neurotherapy treatments. He is now a confident, capable college graduate doing a complicated job that he loves and went after himself. He is a highly funtional person and I am a proud father.I became somewhat obsessed with keeping up with this field and all the variations of treatments, and I have directed many people to various practioners in my state. I have attended multiple conferences as a layman just to keep up with advances and spin-offs from this treatment. My bookshelves at home are full of publications on this subject because I so strongly believe in the physiological principles being discovered in this area. This book finally explains in clear, understandable language what Len Och's protocol does, or at least what is known up to this point. Most importantly,it brings together a comprehensive view that needs to be understood both by the public and practitioners of the trade. Chapter Twelve discusses all the other modalities of treatment of disorders and how all of them are important and how possibly none of them alone is the only answer to many complicated disorders. This field of treatment addresses many things that mainstream medicine presently is not addressing, and this book offers other avenues to explore. I think the author explains that enigma as well as anyone I have read. For anyone practicing, or for anyone trying to decide if it is a protocol that might improve their lives or a loved one's life, this is a must read.

I have had LENS as a treatment for TBI- traumatic brain injuries. Concussions as a child from beatings, car accident, and severe allergic reaction resulting in 3 cardiac/pulmonary arrests that severely affected my ability to funtion. I wanted to understand how and why this worked, this book enabled me to do so. I am an RN and the cumulative effects of these traumas no longer allowed me to work. Grey, fuzzy days, unable to remember simple tasks or complete much of anything. This book clearly explains the evolution of this treatment and I am now actually able to function and enjoy life as I haven't been able to do for years. I feel like I have my life back. I feel intelligent again.If you think this treatment might be for you, and want to explore it further, I do believe this book will help you understand how this treatment came to be and the principles involved. It can be technical, but I found it facinating and enlightning.The one star rater felt this wasn't biofeedback/neurofeedback. I disagree. LRNS takes the brain wave pattern and offests it by a tiny amount and feeds it back... the brain then tries to follow the new frequency, leaving behind the old, dysfunctional frequency. Certainly seems like neurofeedback to me. Me, the patient, had to put forth no effort or practice, other than attend the appointments. I would live on bread and water to be able to afford these treatments, that is how much difference they have made in my life. Best of healing to you.

This is a great book for anyone considering neurofeedback. I had bought it because I thought it gave more information about the neurobiology of why and how it works. The book provides some information that I was looking for, but not the nerdy deep-dive I wanted. Overall, a great book that I will be keeping. I just need to find something else that gives more of a scientific approach to how neurofeedback works.

indepth explanation on LENS Neurofeedback and plenty of case studies and even diet and supplement infoThank you Amazon for having what i needI had no idea that Fibromaylgia is a Neurological problem...The Lens Neurotheropy has had a calming effect on me and I've become more focused.While it has not improved my spelling ...i am more aware that I do need help in this area;-)And has helped with chronic pain. anyone with FMS knows this is awsome!!!Toni
