Brainwave entrainment and the natural production of hormones

Recently, scientists have discovered that certain brainwave frequencies help the brain to release naturally a number of highly beneficial substances, including (HGH) or the human growth hormone. As we become older, the brain creates lesser quantities of these hormones and as consequence we can develop many ageing symptoms and diseases. Therefore, By entrain the brain with these frequencies our health can be improved.Recent research made by Dr. Vincent Giampapa, M.D., an eminent anti-aging researcher and former president of the American Board of Anti-Aging Medicine, discovered that periodical deep meditation dramatically affects production of...

Placebos Are Getting More Effective. Drugmakers Are Desperate to Know Why.

Merck was in trouble. In 2002, the pharmaceutical giant was falling behind its rivals in sales. Even worse, patents on five blockbuster drugs were about to expire, which would allow cheaper generics to flood the market. The company hadn't introduced a truly new product in three years, and its stock price was plummeting.In interviews with the press, Edward Scolnick, Merck's research director, laid out his battle plan to restore the firm to preeminence. Key to his strategy was expanding the company's reach into the antidepressant market, where Merck had lagged while competitors like Pfizer and GlaxoSmithKline created some of the best-selling drugs in the world. "To remain dominant in the future," he toldForbes, "we need to dominate the central nervous system."His plan hinged on the success of...

The Schumann Resonance: Synchronyzing with the planet earth

"Schumann Resonance" refers to the frequency of the electromagnetic field of the earth and this is called the Earth Resonance Frequency (ERF). This frequency was discovered by the physicist Winfried Otto Schumann and calculated at 7.83 hertz. For that reason this frequency is therefore called the Schumann Resonance and is important because is the frequency in which the vibration that all the beings on earth harmonize with.The ERF frequency has been associated with high levels of hypnotizability, meditation, increased HGH levels and cerebral blood flow levels seem to be much higher while this frequency is being stimulated. With this frequency,...

The use of Breainwave Entrainment (BE) for Hypertension Treatment

IntroductionHypertension is a life-threatening condition that affects over 60 million North American adults. A variety of drugs are used to treat it, primarily by causing vascular dilatation or decreasing sympathetic arousal. These drugs produce a myriad of troubling side effects and yet cost the average American about $800 per year for medications. Lifestyle changes, particularly improvements in diet, reduce systolic pressure by 5 points (mmHg) and diastolic pressure by 2 points (mmHg). Most single hypertension drugs reduce systolic pressure by 11 points and diastolic pressure by 8.5 points. (Figure 1). Combining various hypertension drugs decreases systolic blood pressure by an average of 18 points and diastolic by 12 points, with increased medication related side effects.MethodAll of the...

Brainwave Entrainment (BE) as a Treatment Modality for Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)

ProblemEach year, 6% of northern populations are affected with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Women through the ages of 20 to 40 are most vulnerable (Rosenthal, 1993). The common symptoms are slow brainwave activity, depression, anxiety, extreme fatigue, hypersomnia, carbohydrate cravings, and weight gain. "Light box" therapy has reduced symptoms of SAD in 60% to 80% of SAD patients (Lam, 1999). The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of Audio-Visual Entrainment (BE) using flashing lights and pulsing tones to lower SAD symptoms through beta brainwave enhancement.MethodThe Digital Audio-Visual Integration Device (DAVID) by Comptronic Devices Limited was used in a 4-week study to reduce the symptoms of SAD through the application of BE. The participants were screened according...
