“When I was 14-years old, shortly after I tried out for the Junior Olympics in downhill skiing, I noticed a twitch in my left arm. The seizures accelerated and became uncontrollable, despite excellent medical attention, including surgery.”
“My treatment at Advanced Neurotherapy, when I was 24, stabilized my condition for the first time in ten years, allowing me to read for a few hours at a time, walk without falling, and make plans for my wedding.”
David*, young adult, came to Advanced Neurotherapy post surgery for a seizure disorder, which left him with reduced functioning on his left side and continued seizure episodes.
“In many respects, parenting is getting easier. There is a loss of tension in her face. She is more relaxed and that’s a nice thing to see. She is so much better in the social world.”
“I do not think this is the Concerta. Concerta helps you attend to cues but I don’t think it has much impact on emotional volatility. The other day a friend of hers was practicing karate kicks and aimed a karate kick at her tummy and she connected. In months past, Allyson would have gotten up screaming, arms across the chest and screamed, ‘You did that on purpose!’ This time she got up. The girl said, ‘Oh, I’m sorry.’ The girl took her to the teacher and told the teacher what happened about her tummy hurting. Six months ago she would have had a tantrum and not been able to function in a learning environment for the rest of the day. She is much better at letting go of the little insults that happen every day. We had gone to the pool. A boy was swimming and she swam over to him trying to engage him in swimming with her. He wasn’t interested. In the past she would have been obnoxious to get his attention. Instead some other girls came over and they ended up doing the swimming in circles thing. She is much more attentive and responsive to the social universe.”

“My Lyme had destroyed my short-term memory and my ability to communicate coherently. I would blend my words, or not be able to find the word I wanted, or just not be able to get the words out of my mouth. I always sounded angry because I was literally forcing the words off my tongue. And my memory – everything had to be written down for me as I would forget everything right away. It was like I could not keep anything in my head – even mid-sentence I would have no idea what either the person I was speaking with or I had been speaking about, or even which one of us had been doing the speaking. Neurotherapy changed all that. I got my memory and my language back! My staff can’t believe how on top of everything I am and ask me how it is I don’t forget anything! Not only that, my language is such that I am not only able to communicate verbally again, but my writing is better than ever, and I’m able to read again – something that I also lost as a result of my Lyme.”
“I don’t even want to think about where I would have been right now without Dr. Ross and neurotherapy!”
