Developmental/Complaint History:

After Larry had returned from Westpac he went AWOL. He began drinking heavily and began using drugs.
His upbringing was uneventful.

None.
Larry never saw a doctor for his symptoms; instead he self medicated with drugs and alcohol.

Ongoing Therapy:

None

Outcome:

Larry came to me because he had went into a rage and almost killed his pregnant wife. I suggested he see a doctor regarding what he had shared with me, but he refused and spoke of his [paranoid] fear of doctors. Larry had the support of his family, so I decided to start with a nutritional plan and neurofeedback. During the time of treatment Larry agreed to abstain from drugs and alcohol.

Larry was started on Omega 3, B complex, organically bound minerals, chlorophyll, and Neuro-R. All of this was needed to stabilize his body chemistry. Larry was able to do 2 sessions per day. Within week 1 he became more calm and grounded. He was able to sleep through the night. His family said he looked more calm in his eyes and had returned to himself, like he was before he left to Westpac.

The second week Larry reported that the frequency in his head was no longer there and he couldn’t hear the voices anymore. He still saw the red eyes, but not as frequently and he couldn’t hear them anymore.

Larry showed great improvement during his 20 sessions. His family agreed that he still seemed a little sad and medication might be an option. I told them with more sessions they may see more improvement and they might consider Alpha-Theta training as well as talk therapy.

Larry was able to stay off the drugs during the time of his training. He said he no longer has a strong desire to do it, but sometimes he thinks about it.
