Conquering anxiety, depression, ADHD, and Tourette syndrome

Edited by: Shelia Rodgers (original article)

Each time I sat in the stands with other soccer moms, I knew what they were thinking without them saying a word: “Geez, why did Taylor miss that ball by a mile?”  “What does she think she’s doing, running straight into that girl?” “Why is she constantly shaking her head?”

I couldn’t have cared less how the game turned out. I just wished with all my heart that my beautiful 8-year-old daughter could see the field and ball 100% of the time, wished she didn’t have Tourette  syndrome, wished her eyes didn’t roll back in her head — hundreds of times a day. I so wished she could keep her eyes focused on the ball she had intended to kick, and that she could anticipate the movement of others on the field.

Taylor had a passion for soccer, and my husband Brian and I supported her dream. But truth be told, I dreaded the games.

Taylor’s tics started in September of 2007. We were soon dealing with the frightening eye rolls. Her eyes went up and back into her head and stayed there for several seconds at a time. She shook her head (much like a dog does to get water off) until her neck was physically hurting her. And with sudden flailing of her arms, we’ve watched many an object fly off the kitchen table. I was so worried about the eye rolls that I videotaped her for the pediatric psychologist to be sure they weren’t seizures. They weren’t. Read the rest of this entry »

“I wanted to give you a update on how my 8 year boy is doing since we completed the 10 Brain State training sessions. As you know, though very bright, my son was having difficulty in school and his teachers wanted to put him a special class for kids having difficulties.

Since the training he was re-tested in the areas that he had tested below grade level last August. He improved in all six areas. Two areas showed notable jumps. He improved a year and a half in reading content understanding and Four years in understanding and following directions, neither of which could be explained by his classroom experience this fall.

He continues to improve in reading and spelling at a surprising rate and we have seen some improvement in written expression, but it remains an area of concern.

His vision has improved some, though he still sees triple sometimes. We are practicing bringing the three images together and he is to the point where he can almost achieve that.

Thanks so much in your wonderful work in helping my beautiful little boy. This is so encouraging.”

“I live in Cape Town, South Africa with my parents, who recently ventured off America-wards and returned on Christmas Day with one of your machines. I was then instructed that I should give training on the machine a try. I have been a rather sickly child for parts of my life- I had malaria five times before my 9th birthday- but mainly the last three years. I contracted glandular fever at the end of 2003 and never really shook it, leading to an immune system that couldn’t really cope with everyday activity. I was also an insomniac of the worst kind, I mean we are talking four hours on an average (good) night and being exhausted and feeling awful all day. My school has tried to fail me-unsuccessfully, thanks to good grades-three years running for poor attendance. Needless to say I wasn’t having much fun and pretty much prepared to try anything.

And you have fixed me! I sleep. I actually close my eyes and wake up an average of eight hours later. I have been to school every day this term-all four weeks of it. I haven’t caught any of the colds or stomach bugs that went around. I am calmer and I can hold my temper. I would just like to thank you, from the bottom of my heart. You have saved my sanity. You are pure genius. I wanted to proposition you with marriage, but  mom says there are laws against that.”

My name is S. and I have a 7 year old that Judy Davis worked with on the Brain State program.  My son was Autistic and I was not clear about his problem until he went to Kindergarten (2007).  I had Judy use the Ultimate Brain State with him based on some information received by a friend who had used the program.  My son didn’t speak to people nor play with children because he didn’t understand what they said.

When he was evaluated by the school he was talking to himself, walking around the school yard saying things over and over to himself, he couldn’t be still and listen to the teacher, nor could he take instructions – only if he was shown pictures or had an individual sit with him and tell him exactly what he was suppose to do.  His entire life changed after Brain State.  He is now in the 1st grade and he is reading quite well, math is exceptional, he now play with the other children and understand what  they are saying to him and dialogue with complete sentences. He is much calmer, funny and can finish all his homework along.  He is an exceptional child and the teacher says he’s helping the children in his class in some subjects.  My son changed school’s after Kindergarten and the new school read the special IEP’s that was sent with him to the new school and said this must be a mistake because he is nothing like the report forwarded.  Great news after 3 months in the new school (his progress report card parent meeting) he no longer needed the services provide as recommended, he only needed help in 2 areas sentence structure and writing.  The school’s assistant Principal and his 4 teachers agreed he is ready to be in his regular classroom for 90% of the time and tutoring in writing and sentence structure formation would be areas he would need help with. This program changed my son’s life and I think a lot of people can benefit from this program long term.  I hope this will help you and whomever you are thinking about for Brain State.
