The impact of BST on my life has been nothing short of miraculous. 19 years of sobriety in recovery has taught me there are rarely, if any, “quick fixes” when it comes to psychological improvement, but BST has proven that statement wrong. I spent years in counseling and had come a long, long, way on the path of healing, yet some core issues remained that just would not relent. Tendencies toward isolation and lack of true compassion kept me somewhat distant from others. I had been diagnosed years ago with mild clinical depression and ADD and these two albatrosses still hung around my neck to some degree. Medications had greatly reduced my symptoms, but they are not a cure, and the side effects put new and different strains on my personal relationships, especially my marriage.

All that changed after BST. I’m off the meds, I don’t have the desire to isolate and I feel true compassion for others. BST directly caused my ADD symptoms to recede (even before I stopped the meds) and it caused my depression symptoms to vanish. Greatest of all my marriage and my relationship with my children have brought me an incredible new joy. The final blessing is my wife has undergone BST as well. The combined effect of both of us realizing this change is more powerful and anything I could have imagined.

How I got off Solpadeine after nearly 25 years hooked

R.P.

On March 2^nd 1983 at the age of 35, a cerebral aneurysm ruptured in my brain, resulting in a sub-arachnoid haemorrhage.  My life was saved by a skilled surgeon, however a massive infection developed in my head and I very nearly died.  The pain was intense and only one pain-killer was allowed – codeine.

I suppose it is not surprising that I developed an addiction to codeine that manifested in the habit of taking 6-8 Solpadeine every day of my life, plus Syndol at night for sleep (which also contains codeine).   For those unfamiliar with Solpadeine, they are an over the counter pain remedy whose active ingredients per tablet are: 500mg Paracetamol, Codeine Phosphate Hemihydrate 8mg and Caffeine 30mg.  I should know, I took them for nearly 25 years, and couldn’t stop.

Of course the headaches I kept getting were ‘rebound headaches’, but as long as I took Solpadeine I was able to function as a ‘normal person’.  Indeed, on Solpadeine I was able to go on business trips abroad feeling ill because, in addition to masking pain, Solpadeine gives the body such a lift – but at a price.

Of course I wanted to be free of this addiction as it was playing havoc with my stomach and liver, so I went to see several different GPs.  I remember one just laughing at me as though all it took to be free was a little will-power.  The most common reaction however was a look of completely bewilderment.  I soon discovered that the medical profession has very little to offer in such cases.  I also confided in many different pharmacists who like automatons said, ‘have you spoken to your GP?’  The most enlightened health professionals I spoke to suggested it would take 6 months to be free, assuming I was able to reduce my intake.  But as anyone hooked on codeine will tell you, no matter how strong your willpower, coming off it even slowly is a long and hideous process usually ending in failure…

Then, by good fortune, I was introduced to Brain State Technologies (BST) and specifically David and Mariel Flannagan who run a clinic called Life’s Palett on the Isle of Wight that offers BST, amongst other great treatments http://www.lifespalett.co.uk/brain.html .  On my first day of treatment, with no coercing, I was able to reduce my usage to 5 tablets, on my second day down to the 3 tablets, on the third day 1½, the fourth ¾ and by the fifth day to zero.  I have not taken any Solpadeine since.  This required discipline and determination on my part, rather than willpower, and would have been impossible for me without the help of BST.

The results of my treatment at Life’s Palett have been nothing short of miraculous.  I am not only free of my addiction but am sleeping properly for the first time in many years and have a renewed sense of excitement and optimism about my health specifically and life generally.  If you are reading this and have visited the Life’s Palett or Brain State Technologies website, I am here to attest that Brain State Technologies does everything it claims to do.  I will also state that David and Mariel are two of the most dedicated, caring and committed people that I have ever met and I am completely indebted to them.

“I thought I’d write you with an update of how I’m feeling now that it’s been almost a month since the sessions…

I still haven’t had a drink, though to be honest I feel as though I’m looking forward to an occasional glass of wine with dinner.  We’ll see – I’m going to test the waters in a week or so.  Who knows I may not like it at all!  : )

The most incredible difference that the [Brainwave Optimization with RTB™] has made in my life is that it has helped me to facilitate major lifestyle changes.  I am doing kundalini yoga most everyday after work and sometimes even before work (if I get up early enough).  I also started a colon & heavy metal cleanse that is going well.  I am feeling pretty exhausted during the day – even though I feel my sleep patterns are better.  I’m not sure what the utter exhaustion is all about…

Well, I saved the best and most incredible for last… I quit smoking on the 15th.  Today is my 22nd day without a cigarette.  I’m using a very low dosage patch.  I’ve used the patch before, but I always had horrific cravings that were difficult to shake.  After Brain State, quitting smoking has been such a breeze, I can hardly believe it.  I haven’t had a single craving.  Not even one!  The first week, thoughts about smoking would come into my head but then they went out of my head immediately.  They didn’t linger and nag at me.  Basically, I just had to get through the habitual part – after a meal, in the car, etc.  I chewed gum to help.  Now, I rarely have to chew gum and days go by without the thought of a cigarette even entering my field.  It’s truly amazing.  I really attribute it all to Brain State.  I’ve never heard of anyone else having such an easy time of it.  And I really know that I’m done with smoking.  It’s wonderful.

Other than all the above, my life feels pretty normal.   Well who knows, it hasn’t even been a month – I think you said that I’d see changes occurring for the first 2 months.   I must admit, I do actually miss the sessions and the euphoric feeling that I had during that week!  : )

I really can’t thank you enough, I feel very blessed to have been able to experience this.

“I am writing this letter with hope. I know there is a better way to live a life. I have lived a life buried in drugs (marijuana). I lived this life for 5 years. I remember when I was high I would always think “I’ll live a sober life in the future“. I said this to myself for probably four out of the five years that I was abusing marijuana. Using marijuana put a cap on my potential as a person. I did not care about my life or my future; I just wanted to get high. I lost friends. I never allowed myself as a teenager to have a relationship with my parents. I as a person didn’t even know what I wanted for my self. I was lost.

There was a point when I hit rock bottom and threw my hands up to surrender. I had thoughts about changing my life the whole time I was abusing; the truth is that I didn’t know where to start. I was scared; I had to admit things to myself that I had been hiding from other people my whole life. I met Cherylee about a year ago. I wanted to stop abusing marijuana so I jumped right into brain training. I think I was smoking pot on a Monday and by Thursday or Friday I was sitting in a chair and having brain training. I did not know what I wanted, I felt as if I was not worth setting goals. I had an Intensive brain training. It lasted about ten days. I can truly say that during the time of brain training I did have strong urges to smoke. I did smoke once and talked to Cherylee about it. As a person she made me feel that it was ok that I had slipped. I felt no judgment from her. I would say that is one of her talents – talking with people about their past and having the person telling the story feel that it was ok to have been down that road. After talking about smoking with a real person – a grown up – I felt that I really did not like getting high and I was masking a pain that was deeper than my marijuana habit.

I am writing this letter eight months after completing brain training. I have changed my life. There is a funny saying “a person only notices pain while it is present, once it dissolves it is hard to remember when exactly it left the body.” It is such a humbling experience to have been through the drug world, and to be able to announce to ones self that I survived my own mistakes. I am a better person now. I know what I want. I have reached goals and felt the sense of accomplishment. My life now is much harder, because I have a choice. I as a person have made the choice to live my life sober to be free from drugs and alcohol.

Having Brain State Technologies in the White Mountains is a blessing. Healing is just around the corner. First a person has to be willing to admit they have a problem and surrender to the change. Changes will occur with [Brainwave Optimization]. The feelings I have had in my body are incomparable to the drug. Drugs are drowning; life is uplifting and should be filled with memorable actions and a sense of belonging. It is my testimony to you that if you want a change, Brain State is available to you. You have to believe in your self to change your life. I know that Brain State Technologies works. I have experienced it.”

“Before I had the opportunity to brain train it seemed as though things were happening to me and now its like they happen around me….I don’t feel like I am the target board in life anymore and  I feel safe and confident in the way that I can choose to react to what happens around me. I no longer feel like the world and people control how I end up feeling, my perception is actually enough to let me decide how I should feel.

I have lived with an eating disorder that I allowed to plague me since I was 12 years old. I am now 26 and over the years I have been into at least 6 different treatment centers for help. I was labeled with just about everything…. anorexia, bulimia, bi-polar, borderline personalities, depression, obsessive compulsive, alcoholic, you name it. I always felt as though I never knew who I was and why I existed so every time I got a new label I took it on and lived it, becoming more and more lost in life.

Anything that happened in my life was too much for me to deal with and would be reason for me to fall further and further down a path of self-destruction.

Just before I started brain training I was drinking excessive amounts of alcohol (1 or 2 bottles of vodka a day on a good day). I had no idea of what normal eating was and neglected my body in everyway possible, emotionally, morally and physically. It was like I had lost my conscience and even though I was very very unhappy and hopeless I lacked the drive to turn things around. I lied to myself and to everyone around me, from a person who always has big goals and values in my life I felt like I lost it all, even my family had lost trust and hope in me. I think if I had carried on along the path that I felt so trapped in for even 2 weeks more I would never be here now.

Brain Training helped to change my whole life; instead of my own funeral I have my wedding to look forward to this November. I have a job that I can actually take responsibility for and new exciting goals.

The process I went through while brain training was amazing, not easy but worth every bit of time. I was very emotional during the training process but even after the first session I felt my internal boundaries and values coming back. I actually felt like I knew who this soul was inside my body, the soul I lost somewhere along the line. In the two weeks of brain training things changed so rapidly its kind of hard to even describe what went on…I feel like putting it into words might not do the process justice. The changes in me since then however are vast; I have not touched alcohol in almost 4 months and have no desire to at all. I recently got engaged and have a wonderful relationship with a man who loves me as much as I love him, I used to feel I had to do everything right and be perfect for someone to love me, now somebody else is happy with me just as I am too. Me refining myself has allowed other people to get close again.

I had lost the very loving relationship I always had with my parents and even this is now coming back, something I thought I could never fix.

I am taking responsibility in my life, financially, health wise, work wise, socially and have found the passion for life that I once lost. My life is worth sticking around for, something that before brain training I never thought I would believe.”

I have suffered with addiction for 15 years. I started with alcohol and from there did everything I could get my hands on. Five years ago, I got addicted to heroin; I lost my wife, my job, my house. I didn’t think anything could every really help me. I got on methodone and from there moved to suboxone. But still I was suffering so much from guilt, regret, anxiety, depression. I just thought it would be something I would always live with. When I first got brain trained, I couldn’t believe it. There was hope coming alive in me. Hope that I had not felt since I was a kid. I still have a long journey ahead of me but I am not afraid anymore. Andy and Katy at Brain Bliss were so patient and kind. They made me feel special even though I thought I was not worth anything, they made me feel worthy and now I think I may have a good life after all.

Before I started Brain State Conditioning training I was not sleeping well, I was depressed and just did not feel good about life in general. I have been battling drug addiction and depression for the past 20 years and was just plain tired of it all.

I was sleeping better after my first session and after six sessions I felt the depression lift and it has not returned. I have gone through 13 sessions and plan on coming back every year or so.

It has been 11 months since I started with Brain State Conditioning and I still do not have any urges to use drugs and life is better than ever. I give a strong recommendation to anyone facing recovery to try this training.

“When I arrived at BrainWorks, I was a complete mess. My life was overrun by addiction, depression and severe anxiety. I could not focus on anything without my mind constantly racing. After 10 sessions, I am no longer struggling with sleep. I can sit and meditate without losing focus, I no longer suffer from addictions and my depression is gone. I have energy throughout the day and I am currently eating less and losing weight. BrainState Conditioning really helped me and I will continue to have sessions.”

“At first I was a bit skeptical but as the brain conditioning sessions advanced, I found myself totally amazed by the results. For the first time in years, I felt calm, focused, driven and peaceful. I no longer need to revert to drugs and alcohol for my depression as the veil lifted and I am now positive and hopeful about life’s prospects.”

“I just realized that it has been a whole year since I started working with you and I want you to know I am very please with my results and I haven’t had an alcoholic beverage, which was not the reason I came for, but a whole year has gone by and I am looking at the TV seeing all those people lined up at the liquor store and beer store and I just think to myself “how lucky I am” to have met you, how much money I have saved and how valuable of service you offer! I want you to know that I am profoundly grateful!”
