My name is D.B. and I have suffered from fibromyalgia for about twenty-five years. It took about sixteen years before it was correctly diagnosed. Having lived with intense, debilitating pain and chronic fatigue for several years I was desperate for some relief.

Over the years the fibromyalgia has become progressively worse, with it coming to a crisis point last year when the recession impacted hugely on our finances. I have been a landscaper for about twenty-two years and have found that over the years I have been able to do less and less. Eventually I was at the point where I would get through a project only by sheer will power and many, many painkillers. However once the project was completed it would take up to three weeks to recover enough in order to work again.

I had virtually lost all movement in my neck and struggled to walk. Sleeping was a distant memory. It was impossible to sleep for more than three hours at a time and that was with painkillers. It was even a struggle putting on my jeans, socks and shoes in the morning. I felt very depressed and frustrated that I could do so little. I found it hard to understand why people were so obsessed with wanting to live for so long – I was just trying to hang in there until my daughters were old enough to no longer need me. There was no burning desire in me to live with such a limited quality of life for an extended period of time. I felt that I was becoming a burden and no longer able to be productive, which was impacting hugely on my family financially. Making sure that I was there for my daughters was the only thing that was keeping me going. Read the rest of this entry »

“I have experienced two weeks of Brain State Trainings since July of 2006 plus a one-day session to improve my sleep quality. Without a doubt, they are among the most significantly healing and balancing experiences of my life. Though I do not believe this training can replace the traditional struggles for healing the wounds of our pasts, Brain State offers the capacity for some “giant stepping” along that journey.

By the second day of the first week, I knew the outcome would be positive. I simply began to feel better, more alive, after each session. By the end of those five days, there was an enhanced clarity about my life, a sense of well-being and peacefulness. I noticed that I could see colors more vividly and, though I didn’t take an eye exam, felt certain that even my visual acuity had improved.

Then, there was the single day of two sessions for sleep deprivation that, for me, were particularly important. There was literally an immediate and considerable improvement which, to this day, has not diminished, and I have not concerned myself about sleeplessness since.

Though I am far from understanding this technology, it seems that my second week of training was more focused on balancing the processes of my brain. The protocols took me deeper into those progressions which theretofore had led me into anxiety and hypertension. As the week evolved, it seemed as though I could accomplish in an hour-and-a-half session what would normally require a week-long retreat. The clarity I had found during the first week seemed to blend into an eloquence of design and confidence about the journey I have chosen to take through my “elder years.”

“From Eeyore to Tigger

 I didn’t know what to expect when I started the sessions at The Evolutionary Brain.  When I walked in the door I was coming with many issues: depression, chronic pain, stress, a lack of confidence, motivation and direction.  I felt like I had given up on life. I was in constant pain for 2 years following a bad car accident where I was left with a compressed spine and numbness in my elbow and hand. I had to sleep with many pillows to prop myself up so I wouldn’t experience severe pressure in my head and increased numbness in my arm and hand. I suffered from bouts of insomnia. I was dealing with an addiction to sugar. I have Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome which brings a host of symptoms: water retention, weight gain, irregular menstruation (lack of to excess), depression and hormonal imbalances, to name a few.

After my very first session there was a noticeable calmness, I felt good.  After the first day my spine realigned itself and I was standing up straighter. I had a 20% decrease of numbness in my hand and my elbow has full range of motion as does my neck. Something I had not experienced since before the car accident. I slept with only one pillow. I slept soundly to wake up refreshed ready to start the day with clarity and a positive out look on life.

 The following days brought new vitality to my well being. Here is a list of the noticeable improvements.

• I have a stronger sense of smell and taste.
• My vision has improved. My eyes don’t get as blurred from long days.
• I have lost my urge to eat sugar.
• My heart and lungs feel stronger.
• I have full range of motion in my neck and elbow.
• My posture has improved. After my 3rd day I had to readjust my rear view mirror because I was sitting taller. 
• I wake up feeling very refreshed as if I had just walked a few miles.
• My joints feel lubricated. No more aching knees or elbows.
• I have better balance.
• My depression is gone.
• I am more productive. I am motivated to take action.
• I am prioritizing my time and accomplishing my goals.
• I am falling asleep faster and waking up refreshed, ready to start the day.
• I can concentrate with less distractions.
• I can focus and listen better during conversations, my mind isn’t wandering.
• 50% decreased numbness in my hand.
• My family and friends noticed an immediate shift in my posture, attitude and stress level. They say I am calm and that I am the person that they knew me to be a few years ago before more resent traumas in my life.
• I feel the way I did in my early 20’s. (I am now 40) 

I can’t wait to see what will happen in the next month.

 Far and away one of the best investments of my all around health. I have been recommending this to all of my friends. It changed my life beyond words. Read the rest of this entry »

“I suffered a stroke in April 2007. I could not walk without assistance. I always leaned to the left; I could not maintain my balance. I had pressure behind my left eye socket and could barely see out of my left eye. I also had a great deal of trouble sleeping. I thought that the life that I had built for myself and my family was over. My business was suffering which caused me to become depressed. My friend Art, who would come and see me every other day in the hospital told me about this new technology that he was going to Scottsdale for training, could possibly help me. He had asked the therapist while I was in rehab one day how long would it take someone to recover fully from a stroke like I had suffered. The therapist told him anywhere from 8 to 12 months minimum depending on the individual.

Art came back from Scottsdale training the first week in June. I was his first client on June 8, 2007 before he had opened up to the public. He would come and pick me up everyday and take me in for Brain State Conditioning. Read the rest of this entry »

“For over 25 years I have been trying to find freedom from debilitating Migraine headaches. I had tried everything, including strong drugs, dietary changes, exercise hypnotherapy, acupuncture, herbals, positive thinking, homeopathics and energy work. Many of things I tried seem to help at least partially, but I was never able to get the big breakthrough. The migraines would always come back.

After 30 sessions of Brain State Training with Brain Balance Technologies, I felt a big shift in the way that my mind and nervous system processed stress. I felt much more calm and at peace. It has been over 3 months since my training was completed. I have had a 95% reduction in the number of migraines that I have had. The freedom of living without the fear of the Migraines is absolutely priceless to me. I love Brain State training and recommend it as highly as I can.”

“I am a Vietnam veteran with PSTD. I suffer from depression, substance abuse, and extreme clusters headaches. I had been asking the Veterans Administration for the last 2 to 3 years for other approaches to PSTD than the regular “Talk Group Therapy” and countless psychotropic pharmaceuticals, some of which had left me impotent for over 3 years. Unfortunately, to no avail. I had even over the years tried private counseling, at great personal expense. It was essentially no different, basically the same approach….My sleep patterns were about 12 hour per day, frequent nightmares, slovenly personal care and a lack of energy. No lust for life. And when my cluster headaches were in full swing my attitude would dramatically deteriorate.

I contacted Mr. Art McCullar of NeuroFitness Center and visited him at his office with my fiancé. We were impressed with the company video presentation and I immediately signed up for the next available sequence of sessions. After the third day of sessions I noticed a dramatic change in my sleep. I was only sleeping six to seven hours a night instead of twelve and as an added bonus my problems with impotency decreased dramatically!

My outlook on life has improved considerably and my energy level is phenomenal!  I was on probation for substance abuse. After over 36 years of self-medication and inebriation I am hopeful that returning to a balanced state through BSC can help me avoid drugs and the negative consequences associated with them. My attitude is very positive and I have been drug free for quite some time. I guess I was lucky to be able to visualize peaceful conditions so well.”

Back in 1986 my wife suffered a severe brain injury due to a car accident. She has had multiple operations on her brain and has been through every known conventional treatment. While some procedures helped, most did not. Many treatments also caused other, new problems.

Since the 80’s, she has had intense, regular seizures which also result in memory loss. Before Brain Training, we managed to partially control the seizures through a prescription medication. But this medication also causes her to have extremely poor physical balance. As a result of the brain injury, my wife has also had a lot of trouble concentrating and focusing. On top of that, her vision has been poor since the surgery to replace the shunt in her head (the permanent tube which drains fluids from her brain).

Now about one month after her first Brain Training series, my wife has her seizures much more under control. The seizures are much shorter and less intense than before brain training. Her balance has improved and her memory is better. She’s also happy her vision has improved a lot. We plan to continue with brain training to work on enhancing the concentration and focus.

Her sleep has improved as well. And she’s also in a better mood all the time. As her husband and caregiver, I’m very happy to see these improvements. While there are still many areas to work on, from the results we have already seen, I am confident that with continued brain training, things are just going to get better and better. Thank you so much for your help and we look forward to working with you in future.

“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.”

“Five years ago I had a nasty accident. It affected my brain and left me plagued with a long list of symptoms. I was a shadow of my former self. I couldn’t function anywhere near the way I once did. Doctors could do nothing and there was no chance that things would improve. It felt like a death sentence. It was miserable.

I was referred to Brain State last year and have done 45 sessions over three visits. The results have been utterly astounding. Brain State has made a spectacular difference in my life. It has given me the chance at a new life, and given me a life I would never have had. Brain State has freed my brain from life sentence.

I’m your biggest fan. Seriously big thanks.”

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.
