Q - I am a senior citizen and I have been suffering from depression for nearly two years. A friend gave your web page address to me. I have been on medication but it has not helped to get me back to feeling like doing anything. I have to push myself to even get out of bed. Would you please send me some information if you think I can be helped?
A - We see many clients with severe and chronic depression. The first step to take is to come in for a brain assessment to determine the exact nature of the problem. |

Q - Hi I am interested in finding out more about how neurotherapy can help. My husband was in a severe car accident 12 years ago. He has anger issues that may be related to the accident. As for myself, I have a learning disability and have a feeling that my head and body are very tight. It’s a feeling of too much pressure. Please let me know if this treatment is covered by medical or Blue Cross extended care.
A - We do treat many clients with TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) long past the time of trauma. Our treatments are covered by most extended medical plans up to your cap for a registered psychologist. |

Q - My six-year-old daughter has recently been diagnosed with OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) of the excessive hand washing type. She has also developed an exaggerated awareness and fear of germs. Do you treat OCD in children?
A - Yes, we see many children with OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). The first step is to have a brain assessment done to determine if the usual brain regions are implicated and then treat accordingly with neurotherapy. Behavior therapy will also be part of the treatment program. |

Q - I have an eleven-year-old daughter with Written Output Disorder. She is seeing an Orton-Gillingham Tutor for language remediation. She has had a psycho-ed done. The test indicated slow processing speed and slow written output. She reads alright but does not have automaticity with language, be it spelling or picking up new vocabulary. This interferes with learning new concepts. The testing indicated she had absolutely no ADD/ADHD. Is there a waitlist or practitioner in Coquitlam?
A - We see many children with conditions similar to those you describe. Our waiting time at present is about 10 weeks. There are no other certified practitioners in this area. The only other legitimate practitioner was Dr. Susan Diamond (in White Rock) but she has recently closed her practice. |

Q - Can neurotherapy help my son? He was diagnosed with PDD (Pervasive Developmental Disorder), and he has many features of ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorder). They can’t seem to be able to put a specific name to his disorder. Can you please help?
A - We see many children with PDD (Pervasive Developmental Disorder) and Autistic Spectrum Disorders. The first step is to have a brain assessment to determine the exact nature and location of the problem. The brain deficiencies are then treated with neurotherapy to move the brain toward more normative functioning. |
|
Q - I would like some more information on what you can do to help an adult with ADD, and what sort of cost is involved.
A - We see many adults with various forms of ADD. The procedure is to do a brain assessment to determine the nature and location of the brain inefficiency and then to correct the condition with neurotherapy. The initial intake assessment is $180 CDN and treatments cost $105 CDN each after that. The treatment of an adult takes longer than treatment for a child. The average treatment for most forms of ADD is 20-40 sessions. |

Q - My son has just been given a mild autism diagnosis (presents like Asperger’s, according to his psychologist. I’d like to find out how to help him at a “brain level” rather than superficially with OT (Occupational Therapy) or tutoring. He is 9 years old.
A - We see many children with autistic spectrum disorders. The procedure is to do a brain assessment to determine the exact nature and location of the deficiencies in the brain, and then to normalize brain activity in those areas. |

Q - My husband has had hives for over two months now. He is under the care of his general practitioner, and lately an allergist. Antihistamines have not helped, so the only answer was to go on Prednisone. Two weeks ago he started on 50 mg a day, and the hives cleared up immediately. He then went on 25 mg daily as directed by the doctor. It was fine for a few days, but now after a week the hives are back. We are suspecting that it is stress that is causing this. He is in his 50’s, can you help?
A - We see many clients with stress-exacerbated conditions. The first step is to have a brain assessment to determine what neurological condition is associated with the stress. |
|
Q - My daughter has slight dyslexia. Which of your CDs would help her to focus better doing her homework? Or do you have different material for learning disability?
A - The Attention™ CD available at www.soundhealthproducts.com contains the appropriate harmonic to help your daughter with focus. The essential treatment for ADD and LD (learning disorder) is neurotherapy, although the home use of the harmonic only will certainly help. The first step in neurotherapeutic treatment is to have a brain assessment to determine the exact nature of the problem. |

Q - My 15-year-old son has suffered emotional trauma, and also suffers from the inability to focus. He constantly daydreams, and he has been diagnosed with dyslexia. Maybe once a month or so, he hears his name being whispered (nobody whispers this). I have applied to the Crime Victims Assistance Program, and he is eligible for 20 one-hour counseling sessions. I heard Dr. Swingle on the radio and I think that this therapy may be of benefit to my son. Do you work with the Crime Assistance Program?
A - We treat many children who have been exposed to traumatic stress. From your description it seems that he may also have an attention deficit, unless the focus problem came on after the trauma. We treat many children with multiple problems including ADD, trauma, learning disorders and depression. The 20 hours of counseling could be used provided it is for a registered psychologist. The first step is to schedule a brain assessment to determine the exact nature of the problem. |

Q - Hello, my name is (name withheld) and I am a former patient of Dr. Swingle. While I only met you on one occasion I went for treatment a number of times at McLean Hospital in the early 1990s and worked with an Asian doctor; an associate of yours, I believe. Sadly I do not remember his name. Is there any way a record of my visit or a treatment plan still exists?
A - The Asian doctor was Dr. Jain Jin, but unfortunately he is no longer in the Massachusetts area. Given the time since your last contact with McLean Hospital, I would doubt very much that they retained any of your records. A practitioner certified by The Biofeedback Certification Institute of America (BCIA) in your general area who may be able to help you is Dr. Jolene Ross, (781) 431-9115. |

Q - I was thinking of ordering the Attention™ CD for the classroom. Does this need to be played via headphones, or can a teacher just put this on during regular class for all the kids, i.e. on a CD player in the classroom.
A - The Attention™ CD available from www.soundhealthproducts.com can be used open-air in the classroom. Just remember to keep the volume very low. |

Q - I would like to offer EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) to my clients who have active seizures. I read on Gary Craig’s EFT website that Dr. Swingle cautions “epileptics would be advised to listen to a specially designed audio tape before using EFT". The tape can be ordered from Dr. Swingle whose info can be found by calling information in Vancouver. I would be grateful for details of how to obtain a copy of the tape.
A - You can use the Attention™ CD with EFT for epileptic clients. They are available at www.soundhealthproducts.com |

Q - Dear Dr. Swingle, I have a 7-year-old son diagnosed with ADD (and possible Asperger's). His psychologist/physician has told me that there is no scientific evidence supporting neurotherapy. I would like to know if you could recommend a doctor that supports neurotherapy near my city in Uraguay.
A - Your psychologist/physician has clearly not consulted the scientific literature. Neurotherapy equipment is FDA certified and compliant in the USA, and evidence supporting its efficacy is markedly greater than for most antidepressants. Log on to www.bcia.org (Biofeedback Certification Institute of America) to find a practitioner near you. |
|
Q - I am working with a client who suffers from brain damage. Which of your treatment products would you most recommend for my client who continues to have frequent TIA’s and infrequent grand mal.
A - The Attention™ CD is most appropriate for TBI patients and for use in conjunction with EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique). |
