Most mental disease is caused by unsuspected brain allergies!
This fact was illuminated for me by Dr Marshall Mandell in the early 80's. He appeared on the Phil Donahue show, and had videos of persons with mental problems caused or worsened by allergen testing. He was the first to name such as "brain allergies".
In 1982, Dr Von Hilsheimer introduced the first End-Point-Titration allergy testing into Florida, and I worked with him at an allergy clinic in Orlando. We amazed several MD allergists in that clinic with depression and many other cases being solved.
During that time, I studied allergy/sensitivity extensively. I found a list of mental diseases caused by allergens that surprised me. None of my previous experience with psychology had prepared me for such. If was the following:
While giving a 4 day orthomolecular seminar in Soviet Georgia in 2000, I was introduced to the latest EEG biofeedback therapy of raising the amplitude of the brain waves just above Alpha, in the range of 12-15 Hz. In the discussion, I remembered that list of mental diseases caused by allergens, and proposed the theory that raising that brain wave somehow changed the affect of allergens on the brain.
When I returned to the US, I started the first leasing of EEG BF equipment for home use. As you can imagine this did not endear me to the clinicians who were charging up to $250 per half hour for the service. The actual operation is so simple that anyone with a high school education can easily learn how to do it, although the learned clinicians will (as usual) protest the necessity of a professional approach. (This in spite of no harm being done to anyone, and no license being required to practice this simple therapy.)
In 2001, Dr Jiri Tyrl of the Czech Biofeedback Society listed papers about EEG biofeedback that showed the following mental diseases as being either cured or greatly improved by this feedback:
This list was further proof (to me at least) that allergens were involved in much mental more mental disease that was suspected, and that this particular EEG biofeedback (now known as raising the SMR brain wave), DID somehow relieve this allergen susceptibility.
In 2004, one of those comic light bulbs went on above my head, and I realized that it should be possible to do the same thing - namely raise the SMR brain wave - by use of subliminal messaging.
I put out a call for volunteers, and got over 20, who sent me weekly emails. Most were various types of ADD/ADHD, with a few depressives and insomniacs mixed in. The results definitely showed both that my allergen theory was correct, and my subliminal theory was also correct.
In 3 more volunteer tests since that time, we have shown that this therapy (named Neuroliminal Training) is at least as effective as EEG Biofeedback (aka Neurofeedback) for ADD/ADHD, depression, insomnia, autism, and epilepsy.
We're going even further with a current test that includes Alzheimer's cases, PTSD cases, OCD/anxiety and other severe depression cases, autism and epileptic (longer testing), and even some anaphylaxis cases. Anyone interested in this test should contact me at the website below.

The biomedical model was developed in the 1800’s and has been the standard for medical diagnoses. The model is focuses on standard performance or characteristics of the different physical process of the body, for example its chemistry and pathology, to determine deviations. In the context of mental health diagnoses, it utilizes elevation or deficiencies in the nervous system that contribute to aberrant behavior. For example, if the biomedical model is to be used to in understanding epileptic episodes, the focus would be on the synaptic storms in the brain that characterizes epileptic episodes.
The biomedical model has been tested means of identifying disorders became it utilizes a very ordered standard of reference. The biomedical model is popular in psychiatry and has been utilized particularly in the standards of medication prescriptions. Since the biomedical model considers the human body chemistry significantly, it is considered as effective model to utilize in developing drugs or treatments. There has also been some critique regarding the biomedical model. The model has tendency to emphasize that natural science is the most compelling knowledge approach. The main contention against the model is that it diminishes societal and non-biological psychology. Critics of the model believe that this representation isolates the person.
However, there is no denying that the biomedical model provides standards of diagnoses that are backed by significant and collaborative information. It is essential in creating nursing standards and helps in the formulation of nursing scenarios. A new model, the biopsychosocial, model that has been developed based on the principles of the biomedical model. The biopsychosocial model adopts the same foundations of the biomedical model but also now includes psychological and social factors. This has allowed the biomedical model to also include factors external to the biology of the individual and also has increased its application to social integrations nursing programs.
