Hi Doc.
I am 60 years old and I did do 10 sessions of Neurofeedback.
This was June and July this year 2023.
I had outbursts symptoms for years and when I finished and sent messages to friends and family for an apology.
I made peace with myself and I feel now that I must move on and drop people that don't make me happy and stick to the ones I love and those that have their interest in my heart.
I feel much calmer and I am getting better sleep. My breathing has now improved tremendously, as for years I had lots of em motional blockage that made me very depressed.
Your video clip is done very nicely and hope lots of people get better using this system of Neurofeedback.
Patients should remember that damage of emotions took place for years in your body and brain, please do not expect a quick fix.
Everything will fall in place over time. Be patient, be relaxed and be humble and your health will improve.
Great job and thank you for supporting others with your experience!
Love your style of explanation, much better than the person I received the basic training. Thank you very much for the information 😊
Thank you deeply!
Clear, informative and efficient! Many Thanks for outlining so precisely the Incredible Neurofeedback Realm opening such a vista!! I sent links to a whole family. I will be looking for Resources to learn all I can about Neurofeedback.
Let us know what you discover on Your Health Journey!
Excellent explanations, will share this with our students.
Excellent!
Dr. Pierce, what brand of systems for neurofeedback do you consider to be the best?
There are so very many that I cannot pick just one, and there are so many varieties of technology choices. Among the most common are BrainMaster and so many others. Let your clinician guide you. If someone wants to DIY for performance, I like David Delight from mindalive.com/pages/about-us it is very safe. Some people should use a clinician and others may not need help.
Thank you! This Was really well explained. Unfortunately we are in a different state and so can not come to you. Is there a way to find someone in MN that does Neurofeedback???
Thanks for the question-here are some resources
You can consider neurofeedback practitioners from BCIA.org, and chiropractic neurologists from ACNB.org, and QEEG analysts from qeegcertificationboard.org/
Also look for my colleague Dr. Christine Engbretson, DC, DACNB outside Minneapolis.
@@TheHumanCondition thank you so much!
Excellent presentation. Only issue I have is that standardized normative DBs imply there is a standard brain. Otherwise great.
True, we try to look at unique individuals given the history of the patient and not train away unique traits. Excellent point!!!
Hi Dr. Pierce, thanks so much for all this info! Is Neurofeedback helpful for someone who's had long-term chronic illnesses like Myalgic Encephalomyelitis or Lyme? Would a QEEG be helpful for showing the effects of chronic illnesses?
Once chronic infections and autoimmune triggers are removed, then NF can be a great way to repair the brain loss of function. If the cleanup is not done, NF works less well and is less "sticky" in that the good effects don't last as long.
QEEG is super helpful as long as we get rid of the other infections and AI triggers and inflammation sources. QEEG can pick up metabolic problems and no amount of NF will fix that.
@@TheHumanCondition That makes sense, thank you. Would it be helpful to do NF alongside AI trigger treatments? Especially since any form of viral/mold detox triggers so much inflammation for me.
Most clinicians would consider NF contraindicated with an active infection or toxicity like mold, and resume after detox.
How a neurofeedback technique is used in sports? Any example you can quote with detailed process.

Here is a citation that goes over several sports applications. Enjoy!
Hi Dr.Pierce, thanks for your information.
My "classroom" is talking much to much too 🙊🙈 because of different traumas. I started now with Neurofeedback and the "3-point-method" where I watch movies and the attention is trained. I'm not sure if it is the right method for me because it is so hard to concentrate on the movies as a lot of emotions and pressure and stress in the body comes up then.
I heard of the ILF-Method (infra slow) and thought if that would help me better and easier with my strong PTSD. Could you help me and tell me what you think? Or what method would you recommend for my problems?
Thanks very much and greetings from Germany 🙏
In Europe look for infralow yes, the hardware is Bee Medic I believe and over 17 countries reimburse for this highly effective neurofeedback. beemedic.com/en/taxonomy/term/6
@@TheHumanCondition Thanks for your help🙏. I will pass this information to my "Trainer". I thought Infra Slow and Alpha-Theta-Training are two different methods?
This one is going on the website
We are so honored to have praise from the BCIA! everyone go there to find certified biofeedback professionals all over. Thank you!
Had first qEEG and results came back as a high voltage EEG. I’ve been referred to neurologist. I have to admit I am a bit anxious now. Have you seen this and what was the issue?
Many people have endophenotypes there are 11 described by Jay Gunkelman, and they can be variations of normal depending on the actual measurements. IF it is medically high voltage, there may be an electrochemical instability that may respond to diet, detox or medication, especially if it is all over the brain and not just a spot. Let us know what happens. Often there is a sympathetic stress response with scalp sweat from high blood pressure, super stress, anxiety, or panic attacks. Neurofeedback and neuromodulation can often help. Get evaluated and tell us the rest of your story.
Where is his clinic? I want to visit him for Neurofeedback
Dr. Pierce's clinic is in Newport Beach, California at ifixspines.com/
Thank you for your useful information, Can neurofeedback train the brain to help a person to become sympathic and lessen risky behavior?
I have seen this yes.
We see that all the time, although no guarantees. We also address epinephrine and dopamine with lab testing and surveys and diet.
dr Michael, what are some good machines for home?
There is an explosion of home devices one can rent from a professional counselor or chiropractor for supervised neurofeedback. If one wants to DIY without a health care provider, the safest is microcurrent or tDCS these are inexpensive and safe.
My son 12 years old ota taking methilfenidate once a day for 1 year, he was diagnosticate ADHD, do you thing this therapy will work to help him focus, no lazy, learn to be tolerance,?? Or i will go with him with a sicologyst to do therapy ? Or we start practicin yoga??
When there are several variables, I like to run lab tests and QEEG and discuss with the counselor what s priority one? Many kids have organic brain dysfunction in the way of counseling and medications, and they need to get checked out.
I’m looking for someone near Portland Oregon for my adult son with autism.
You can find neurofeedback practitioners - www.BCIA.org; chiropractic neurologists - www.ACNB.org; and QEEG analysts - qeegcertificationboard.org/. Hope this helps and thank you for watching our channel!
At about 9:00: What is the definition of better or worse?
If the brainwaves are made more abnormal away from the target is what I was getting at. It is possible to mess up a network by making a single area change brainwaves. We are still learning about network dynamics when we train brainwaves. We dont want to have a blind spot.
How much should neurofeedback generally cost per session/month and does medical insurance typically cover costs?
Depends where you are in the world. A good start is to look for a bcia registered practitioner in your area to get started.
neurofeedback is broadly covered across the US and Europe for many conditions, but it is not universal. There are many types of NF and equipment and software, some are more expensive to own. Each insurance plan has their own rules. The cost per session ranges from under $100 to around $200 depending on level of complexity, supervision, and if a package is sold of multiple sessions.
Hello Doctor,
Please let me know if Neurofeedback brain training would help with learning difficulties and slow brain processing in kids elementary schoolers? If yes, to what extent? Much appreciated.
Yes, and food elimination diets, toxin testing and cleanses, and macros, and keto diets also accelerate progress in NF
@TheHumanCondition please let me know TO WHAT EXTENT, on average, NFB would help with Learning Disabilities, as I asked in my first question? Thanks!
I just started neurofeedback for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. I hope it helps me. Very expensive
Don't forget heavy metals, pesticides an glyphosate.
You mentioned heavy metals pesticides how do I check for that and do for it. I feel I’ve tried everything from vitamins, acupuncture,sauna , watching what I eat, cognitive behavioral therapy, physical therapy. Just trying to get my life back for 8/years after my corneal transplant surgery. I’m now a young 76 years old and feel like I need my body back Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you
Great Plains lab/Mosaic lab has hair and urine tests for many toxins. Your doctor orders a collection kit to be sent to your home and then mailed in for analysis and a great report is generated. William Shaw is the owner, he is a PhD toxicologist who used to work for CDC before starting the lab. They are now international and I get no kickbacks either.
Who and how decides what brain fluctuations to train?
Ultimately the provider and patient together analyze and discuss the patterns of brain waves they are seeing, and correlate symptoms with the data. Then they agree on what target waves and locations in the brain to pursue and train. This is a balancing process, not a medical treatment for disease, although good evidence is growing for neurofeedback in many conditions.
@@TheHumanCondition
As I said i live in Seattle. Is there any possibility of online or distance Neurofeedback i get from you? Or i have to travel to your clinic?
Look for Dr. Rogene Eichler West in Seattle she may be best in the business. You are lucky to be there.
But the most important parts are the midbrain and cerebellum, so how are you reaching there? See Deep Brain Reorienting… or brainspotting
Very good! Functional neurology has rehab methods for brainstem and cerebellum too. Thanks for the reference to brainspotting!
Do you do this at your office?
Yes, indeed, Dr. Pierce does QEEG brain mapping and different types of Neurofeedback in the clinics in Colorado, Nevada and California. Let us know how we can help you and what additional questions you might have. And, thank you for watching our channel!
@@TheHumanCondition thank you for the reply. I would love to hear him discuss NeurOptimal. Also, can you please give me the website to the clinics so I can send a more detail email of what I am looking for. Thank you!!
@@TheHumanCondition How can a person make an appointment to see Dr. Pierce?
@@bilen2008 For specifically named vendors I need to defer to those vendors. If we develop a panel discussion on this topic, we will be sure to include the device mentioned in our panel.
@@T3Temporal Currently we use the SPINE clinic system in California and Nevada at ifixspines.com/
SO...This is scary.
Really? Scarier than the FDA?
Im about to start doing neurofeedback for anxiety. When you said it can make it worse i was like ....🥲
Anything and everything has side effects, I would do it anyway because NF is so gentle.
