The New Mind Brain Mapping System Revolutionizes the Way Clinicians and Neurofeedback Practitioners Work with Clients

August 08, 2012     No comments


Roswell, GA (PRWEB) July 17, 2012

New Mind Academy today announced the relaunch of their innovative New Mind Brain Mapping System that revolutionizes the way clinicians and neurofeedback practitioners work with their clients. The integrated Bio-Psycho-Social Assessment system combines quantitative EEG brain mapping with metabolic and psycho-social assessment tools, resulting in a comprehensive and economical method for accurately evaluating clients and utilizing neurofeedback to remediate suffering. The New Mind Brain Mapping System is the first to provide immediate standardized automated interpretation of EEG brain mapping data based on statistical analysis – significantly reducing personal bias in report interpretations as well as reducing long waiting periods for brain maps to be evaluated and written. The New Mind Brain Mapping System is the first report system to provide a wide variety of conveniences for clinicians, such as an At a Glance Report, Automatic Protocol Generation, Metabolic Confound Report, Supplement Recommendations and a Simplified Client Report section for clients to read.

?We?re excited to have our new brain mapping system vastly improve the way clinicians work with their clients,? said Richard Soutar, Ph.D., founder and CEO of New Mind Academy who is also a distinguished pioneer in the field of neurofeedback as well as a former graduate-level professor of psychology and sociology. ?This is the first system to provide clinicians and neurofeedback practitioners with immediate standardized automated interpretation of EEG brain mapping data and statistical analysis.?

The use of EEG or quantitative EEG (qEEG) to record and evaluate neural activity is emerging as a powerful and economic tool for understanding the problems clients bring to their professional advisors. By recording brainwaves from twelve or more locations across the scalp, clinicians are able to generate electrical topographical maps of the brain which provide deep insights into client suffering. These maps are similar to weather maps in that they indicate high and low areas of electrical functions and consequently high and low areas of processing functions. The maps can then be compared to maps of a normative sample, several of which were developed at top research universities, and deviations from this normative standard are used to assess the likelihood that clients suffer from different symptoms. This information can then be compared to client complaints for confirmation and used to generate training protocols utilizing neurofeedback to relieve discomfort.

?Clinicians and neurofeedback practitioners will benefit from the comprehensive narrative reports The New Mind Brain Mapping System provides – informing them of the likelihood of difficulties with a wide variety of functions such as memory, emotion, visual processing, verbal processing and executive function,? continued Dr. Soutar.

Texas Mental Health Specialists Launch Intensive Outpatient Program

August 08, 2012     No comments

Houston, TX (PRWEB) July 17, 2012

The Meehl Foundation, which created a highly successful transitional residential group home known as the Meehl House, is expanding its reach in the mental health community by offering an intensive outpatient program. The goal is to provide a strong resource for clients in the surrounding area who have been unable to achieve long-term mental wellness elsewhere. The new program made its debut in mid-June at the foundation?s facility in Brazoria, Texas.

This new IOP provides both group and individual services. These services will focus on adult clients needing treatment for Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, Anxiety, Depression and Substance Abuse. Similar to the residential program, the outpatient program will consist of the Meehl Foundation?s Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Skills Training with Life Coaching and personal development programs.

The new IOP provided by The Meehl Foundation will give working professionals throughout Southeast Texas the opportunity to take steps in treatment of mental health issues and substance abuse without interfering with their employment and family obligations. Options for outpatient treatment times can be discussed during an initial consultation. Family education is also encouraged to help family members learn how to resolve issues connected to the mental illness or substance abuse of a loved one receiving outpatient care.

The Meehl House, located along the Gulf Coast in Brazoria, Texas, has been serving clients since 1998. To schedule an interview with Debra Meehl, The Meehl Foundation President, or learn more about the Meehl House, interested journalists may contact the Meehl Foundation at 979.798.7972. A full list of services is available for viewing online at http://www.meehlfoundation.org.

Dr. Uffe Ravnskov Announced Today His Review of “How Statin Drugs Really Lower Cholesterol And Kill You One Cell At A Time” from His Headquarters in Stockholm, Sweden

August 06, 2012     No comments


Stockholm, Sweden (PRWEB) July 16, 2012

“How Statin Drugs Really Lower Cholesterol and Kill You One Cell At A Time” was reviewed by Dr. Uffe Ravnskov from his headquarters in Stockholm, Sweden. Dr. Ravnskov made the following observations:

Ravnskov said he learned more about the background of the creation Statin Drugs than he knew before. “Scary reading indeed.” Dr. Ravnskov said he didn’t know about Marvin Siperstein and he will start reading Dr. Siperstein’s papers.

Ravnskov said he was depressed when he learned about Brown and Goldstein?s fraudulent behavior and suggested the Yosephs send a copy of their book to Peter Englund, the secretary of the Nobel Prize committee. “Now I understand why I never got an answer from these guys ? I sent them a long kind, letter some years ago to tell them about the many clinical and epidemiological observations that contradicted their hypothesis. Naively I thought that they, being biochemists, didn?t know about them.”

Dr. Ravnskov noted that there are many interesting quotations without references and requested references to the following:

Page 32. Endo?s paper about dogs and cancer

Page 33. Sankyo?s paper about dogs and lymphoma

Page 143. The paper that reported no effects of statin treatment in homozygous FH patients

Page 197 Toberts cholestyramin trial

Page 211 Toberts paper about cataract in lovastatin consumers

Dr. Ravnskov pointed out a few minor errors:

“On page 121 the book states that ‘unsaturated dietary fats replenish damaged oxidized lipids?and reducing the risk of CVD.’ No dietary trial has been able to prevent CVD mortality by exchanging saturated with unsaturated fat.

“On page 122 the book states that ‘prostaglandins are made from omega-6 type fats (such as olive oil..’ Olive oil contains mainly monounsaturated fatty acids and has very little omega-6.

“On page 138 the book states that the numbers of CVD ‘are still rising.’ This is not true; CVD mortality has indeed gone down in most western countries since the seventies. It has of course been claimed that the reason is cholesterol lowering treatments, but this is pure speculation. More likely causes are the decreasing smoking habits, better treatment of acute CVD and early mobilization [exercise] of the patients. Before 1970 heart patients were put to bed for several weeks.”

Dr. Ravnskov promised to mention “How Statin Drugs Really Lower Cholesterol” in his next newsletter and also to members of THINCS (The International Network of Cholesterol Skeptics).

Evans Consulting Services established SUE! Statins! in 2012 to alert the world to the public health menace of Statin Drugs: “Medicine must be taken away from people who are motivated by greed and returned to people who are motivated by compassion,” Evans says.

Miraculous Healing of Diabetes Using Nithya Kriya – from Paramahamsa Nithyananda

August 04, 2012     No comments


Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 15, 2012

On July 14th, in the daily world wide satsang, His Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda shared a video reporting a miraculous experience with his global followers, so that more people can be inspired to use the ancient non-invasive Vedic healing techniques which have no side-effects either and it is free!

63 year old Ricardo reported that he had been suffering from the age of 33 while recently he was introduced to Nithya Kriyas about 4 months ago, by his neighbor Mahesh Bail who is a disciple of Paramahamsa Nithyananda. Ricardo Boreiki says, ?He came to my house and taught me how I had to do it. And before I started the exercise, I checked my sugar level, and it was 350. I did the exercise the way he taught me to do it. When I finished it, I checked my sugar level and it was 85. I have never seen something reduce my sugar level so rapidly. Usually I have to walk around the neighborhood for half to 1 hour. Even then I have to put a lot of insulin to reduce my sugar level. This is extraordinary!?

Ricardo says, ?When I went to see the doctor and see how I was doing while using 5 units of insulin and doing the exercise daily in the morning. It was a miracle. My doctor asked ?Only 5 units of insulin?? and I said ?Yes! 5 units!? Doctor said ?Great! Continue with this. Just 5 units each day is fine but check your sugar levels every day.? I am eating everything I normally eat.?

Ricardo also stated that he had a blood sugar level between 300 ? 400 and every day he would take 45 units of insulin in morning and about 25 units in the afternoon. Sometimes he had to call the ambulance and be hospitalized with dangerously high or low sugar levels. Now he is feeling so good, he is going back to work at age 63!

Just about 2 months ago on April 8th, 2012 while officially unveiling the set of Nithya Kriyas to humanity through a dedicated website, His Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda had said, ?This kriya will break even the patterns related to food, not only it cures diabetes, it cures the root of diabetes. The root cause of diabetes is one may not be eating with awareness, the food one eats, and the way one chews and the thoughts one has during the eating. All these 3 are related, all these are reason for diabetes, the pattern, the time one eats or irresponsible eating. All these put together is called pattern of eating, food pattern. That is responsible for diabetes. Now not only people?s diabetes will be healed, the pattern for diabetes also will be destroyed. That is why I am saying this will heal the disease at the root.?

Nithya Kriya is unique set of healing processes with knowledge and techniques drawn from the most authentic sacred yogic scriptures of India, with specific combinations compiled and expressed from the personal experience of Paramahamsa Nithyananda. All the Nithya Kriyas are available for free download at http://www.nithyananda.org/nithya-kriyas. This website offers cures for 108 health disorders ranging from cancers, depression, obesity, heart disease, hypertension, ADD and more.

About His Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGz9ku68jFc&feature=plcp

Paramahamsa Nithyananda is a global leader in the science of Enlightenment & Inner Awakening. In the past ten years attempts have been made to map Nithyananda?s brain, his energy levels, his mitochondria, his DNA. The scientific fraternity is continuously stunned by the results of what they can evaluate.

In a recent study, blood samples from a group of Inner Awakening participants aged above 50 years were subjected to a well-known protocol called MTT Assay for assessment of cellular energy levels.

100% of participants of this particular study recorded a drastic increase in energy levels, averaging 1300%. Such an increase is clearly impossible through any other known means such as exercise, yoga or fitness training, which can affect a maximum of 40% increase in cellular energy.

Clear, dynamic and modern in approach, Paramahamsa Nithyananda?s teachings have already transformed 15 million followers in 150 countries with the fastest growing spiritual community around the youngest incarnation. Over 2000 hours of discourses are on http://www.youtube.com/lifeblissfoundation
