The Aloe vera rage started a few years back when a few cosmetic companies started to go overboard with their marketing gimmicks about the wonders of Aloe vera supplements. As a result people started to buy and use these supplements without sparing a moment to think about or verify the authenticity of the claims. Most people burned their fingers at it and felt that the whole Aloe vera claim was a huge scam. Others simply went one step ahead and started to grow the plant at home so that they could directly harness the wonders of the plant. While they could extract the gel from the leaves of the plant, the gel could only be used for external application as it tasted miserable when consumed directly.

Sometime in the year 1987, Han van de Braak, a chartered physiotherapist, registered acupuncturist and naturopath was looking for a cure for eczema as his young daughter suffered from the ailment. Dr Han had always heard about the wonders that Aloe vera could do with the skin and decided to experiment with the plant. Countless experiments and months of hard work ensured that he created a product that had all the goodness of aloevera minus the preservatives, added chemicals and flavors. He had to break his back to get a completely natural and safe aloe vera supplement. Aloeride was born, a supplement that wiped the floor with its nearest competitor. What worked in the favor of the product was that it was not created with commercial success in mind. The doctor just wanted it to work and his daughter be cured.

The magic of Aloeride

Aloe vera is a plant that is packed with minerals, vitamins, phytochemicals and antioxidants. These natural chemicals combine together and work wonders for the digestive tract, the stomach lining and the skin and hair too. It is a well known fact that a supplement when consumed internally stays in the body for almost 75% longer than when applied externally. Most people are unable to bear the taste of Aloe vera gels and hence dilute it with juices or water which instantly reduces the effectiveness of the supplement. Aloeride® on the other hand can be taken in the form of a pill on the go. It is tasteless and odorless. If you've had to suffer bland and tasteless aloe vera supplements before…you're gonna love this. Check out this aloeride review for my own personal experience

Look your best this Christmas

Christmas season always brings about a huge surge in the sales of Aloeride®. Practically everyone wants to look the best they can during the festive period. And not to forget the fact that it is one of the worst times for the skin with the humidity at an all time low. How many moist and full looking faces do you see when you go shopping for Christmas? 80% of the people you see have dry, flaky skin, chapped lips and dead looking hair. Despite using countless cosmetic skin care products, people fail to maintain the youth and vitality of their skin during winter. This magic pill provides nourishment to the body and skin from inside. It brings about a general overall wellbeing which results in the skin looking young and moist too. Aloeride® is 100% pure and natural aloevera extract. So it imparts the water retaining capacity of the plant to the body keeping it hydrated at all times.

Neurofeedback (EEG & HEG biofeedback) clinics that work with autistic children are still rare.

Very few have been willing to take on an autistic child, because of the difficulties involved:

1. How do you attach sensors to an autistic child? And keep them on?

2. If you do get a connection, how do you motivate such a child? (A key to success).

3. Autism can bankupt any family except the very wealthy.

Enter Neuroliminal Training (NT). All three of the above problems above are solved with NT.

NT has no sensors, or helmets, and motivation isn’t important.

Since NT works by using a subliminal messaging technique that works during sleep, or as a background to play or study, it’s done at home using a repeating CD, and at an affordable cost to even a low income family. NT improves autism symptoms gradually over time in the same way as NFB.  It’s slow, but steady progress.

Neuroliminal Training (NT) used with an autistic child does exactly the same three things that NFB training does – namely raise the SMR brain wave, lower the Theta brainwave, and increase the brain blood flow

Increasing oxygen (Hyperbaric therapy) has had some good success with autistic children as well, but it’s relatively expensive.

(Neurofeedback also includes both EEG and HEG biofeedback. HEG increases brain blood flow using feedback techniques).

Success rates are very similar for both NFB and NT. That has been proven in volunteer tests since 2004. The only real difference is cost.

For an average ADHD child to be “cured” (cure being defined in current NFB circles as “sitting still in class, paying attention to study, getting good grades, and in most cases, jumping in IQ scores”) costs on average about $4000 using EEG biofeedback. For NT, the total cost is $197. Is that a no-brainer?

An ADHD child requires 50-60 EEG sessions.  An autistic child requires over 200 sessions   Although I believe that there is a “continuum” between the simplest ADD child that cannot seem to concentrate on studying and a true non-communicative autistic child, there is one major difference. A person on the autism portion of that continuum probably has had actual brain damage, whereas, the ADD/ADHD child has probably had little or no such. Thus, a “cure” for ADD/ADHD is fairly easy, but for the autistic child much more difficult.

Simple “baby steps” toward “normal behavior” in an autistic child are the “usual” improvements seen using either NFB or NT. The good news is that continued usage continues improvement. This is a long slow process, and there are several alternate therapies which may be used at the same time. These are described in the NT literature and may include special diets, the use of enzymes, probiotics, free allergy tests etc.

The “brain damage” that makes autism such a problem may be caused by various traumatic episodes such as an overload of mercury or other mineral toxicity, a birth or pregnancy injury, continual malnutrition (or drug addiction) by the mother during pregnancy, etc. Of course, this autism spectrum is large and variable with each individual. Not to mention, the misdiagnosed cases. A high functioning autistic child might easily be thought to be in the ADD/ADHD range.

Remember that all doctors have to make a diagnosis that will allow them to be paid from insurance carriers, and this makes the whole diagnostic process a mockery. The “accepted” average success rate of Neurofeedback (NFB) (aka EEG BF) for ADD/ADHD is between 85-90%. I suspect that a large part of these 10-15% “failures” are due to misdiagnosis of ADD/ADHD, where there has been minor brain damage, and the diagnosis should have been autism.

While most clinicians are “good motivators of their patients, there are some who are not and their patients may fail. A major key to success using EEG biofeedback is motivation.

Almost 40 years ago, it was found that by raising one small brain wave adjacent to the Alpha brain wave (around 13-14 Hz) – since named the SMR brain wave), some almost miraculous things happened. We do not “know” what causes these good changes, but the theory I put forth in 2000 is that “raising the SMR brain wave somehow changes the affect of allergens on the brain”. (If you look at the mental problems caused by allergens, and compare that list to the NFB cures over the past 30 + years, you can why I came up with that theory.)

In orthomolecular circles, it is well known that allergens, usually unsuspected, are a main cause of stress.  Stress is always a major factor in causing all mental “disease”. There is also a lot of anecdotal evidence that raising the SMR brain wave either “cures” some allergies, or lessens the effect on the patient.

NASA scientists found that lowering the Theta brain wave increases concentration (attention), and they spend hours “brainwashing” jet pilots and astronauts to lower their Theta brain wave. This “routine” has become almost “standard” therapy for NFB as a result. However, what most NFB clinicians don’t know is that by lowering Theta, we also lower “creativity”, or “artistic ability” in some persons.

In all “attention” cases, (including autism), social happiness of the person involved is the most important factor. Creative or artistic ability aren’t as important to an astronaut as the ability to concentrate.

I heard about an autistic girl that was a real savant in mathematics and music in a recent conference,. They used an experimental stem cell transplant on her, and it improved her autism symptoms dramatically, but it also cut her savant ability in half.

The Autism CD package does lower Theta to increase concentration, while the SMR plus does not affect Theta. SMR Plus is the recommended one for all forms of depression, including PTSD, insomnia, epilepsy, Fibromyalgia, etc.

NFB works by a sort of beneficial brainwashing using the conscious mind getting feedback on what the SMR brain wave is doing, and trying by conscious concentration to raise this wave. (Or lower the Theta brain wave at the same time with attention issues).

NT also works by a beneficial brainwashing that raises the SMR brain wave, but NT uses subliminal messaging instead of feedback using the conscious mind.. It also lowers the Theta brain wave if there are “attention issues” (ADD/ADHD/autism).

For other brain problems, such as insomnia, depression, epilepsy, PTSD, anxiety, etc there is no useful purpose served in lowering the Theta brain wave, so it is not done. (This is the SMR Plus CD package.)

Dr Bate is a retired Orthomolecular Psychologist. In 2004, he invented a new sleep therapy that duplicates Neurofeedback. Both NT and NFB are effective. However, NT is affordable even to mid and low income families. http://ADHD-autism.com – http://ADD-Autism.com Dr Bate is a retired orthomolecular psychologist who invented Neuroliminal Training, a simpler and affordable way to change brain wave amplitudes solving ADD-Autism, depression, insomnia, and more. http://ADHD-autism.com – http://ADHD-Autism.com

There are several therapies (good and bad) available for ADD/ADHD:

Drugs: (Ritalin, Adderall, Concerta, Strattera, etc). Most of these drugs contain methylphenidate, the same ingredient as “speed” on the street where it’s highly illegal, and addictive to many. This type of “medication” does NOT “cure” anything. Suppressing symptoms also suppresses potential. In addition, there are many drug side effects and addictions as serious drawbacks to using Ritalin and similar drugs. Schools like these drugs as they make it easier to control classrooms.

Allergy treatments: Most allergy treatments are only about 50% accurate, and the only truly effective one is End-Point-Titration (EPT). However, EPT therapy is usually very expensive, ranging up to $10,000 in expensive “doctor” time to diagnose and treat.

EEG Biofeedback: All the research over the past 40 years demonstrates that EEG biofeedback training (aka Neurofeedback or Neurotherapy training) has been the most effective therapy for ADD/ADHD with a “cure” rate of 85% or greater. However, the mid or low income family simply can’t afford this proven therapy at an average cost of $4000+ per ADHD child,

Neuroliminal Training, a new drugless therapy has also proved by extensive volunteer testing (seven tests since 2004) that it does exactly the same thing as EEG BF, (namely change brain wave amplitudes. Instead of going to a clinic costing from $75-$250 per half hour, sitting in front of a computer screen with electrodes attached to the head about 50-60 times, (Many like it so much for good sleeping that they continue playing the CD.

In a test in 2006, 23 volunteers conducted an 8 week test,

and all 23 improved exactly as expected using EEG BF

In earlier tests in 2004 and 2005, similar results were seen. The similarities between the inexpensive Neuroliminal Training and the expensive EEG BF Training, especially in success rates was remarkable.

13 autistic children ranging in age from 3 to 16 were tested in a volunteer test of eight week usage of NT concluded in 2007. Some improved dramatically, while some improved slowly, all improved . autism takes much more time.

Success with ADD/ADHD is generally accepted when a child sits still in class, concentrates & learns, and gets better grades.  EEG BF success rate is about 85% with 50-60 (with no guarantee.)  NT guarantees this success or return the package for refund.
