Cal age 8
He has reading difficulties, can read at grade level but cannot breakdown unfamiliar words, social difficulties that present mostly in school setting, writing symptoms, spelling is far below grade level.
The following is an email from Cal's mother a few weeks after Brain Integration. They live in Long Island:
Things have been going well for Cal. He says he feel different but he cannot define what he is feeling. He has been showing signs of maturity wich will benefit him in the fall when he returns to school. I believe he had a great emotional release from his previous struggles during integration. I don't sense the sadness he would have in the past. His coordination has improved tremendously, his spirit is light and his scarcam is blossoming. He is much better at expressing himself and displaying a much sharper sense of events happening around him.
He will be having a Davis Correction. This will help address his focus with the dyslexia. His is not as cooperative with his school work since we returned, but, I feel this is part of his new found self expression. I actually am viewing it in a positive way and trying to give him the space to express frustration and emotion, but trying to keep him on track at the same time. The Davis Correction should help him to focus his mind's eye. That also works with opening the pathways of the brain. Between the two techniques I have no doubt he will have the tools to enjoy school and succed at learning.
I had told you of Cal's communications with what he and I call his "other world" He has done this since he was a small baby, even before he could speak this language. He would speak to others that I could never see, and sing songs in languages I could not decifer. I sensed from him that he was afraid the brain integration might make that world disappear. When we arrived in Colorado Springs on our way home, I asked him if that was the way he felt. He said no, but I really believe he was worrying that would happen. So I said to him " how are things in your 'other world'?" He smiled big and said, "things are better in both worlds."
My husband and I discuss every day the changes we see in Cal. We both see subtle changes as well as profound changes. Some are wonderful and some are more frustrating. But the frustration we feel seem to be from his leap into maturity that has happened over night, his metamorphosis from the immature 8 year old into a much more matrue and aware 8 year old. We know the latter will serve him better in life. We'll certainly take it and help him deal with these changes as they come. Thank you so much for the work you have done with him. You have changed his life forever, for this we are eternally grateful to you. We look forward to the results from Cal's hair analysis from Roger. Many blessings!
Joseph age 7
Before brain integration: difficulty reading and focusing; walks in circles; occasionally rocks back and forth;
hyper/spactic behavior.
Mother describes his changes: Overall - more even-tempered, happier, more positive outlook, slighty more confident. School- better focus, socializing with more friends, consistently getting work done, positive responses when asked how day was. Reading: can read longer, reading more challenging books, better at putting sounds together to make words, better at remembering works read before from page to page, reading fast. Bascially doing very well!
Mother says Joseph is doing fantastic in every way. He has read two chapter books since ou sessions and says he wants book and legos for Christmas! (Never thought I would hear that!) His teacher said in our parent-reacher conference that is he "really stepping up to the plate this year" She also said that he is more motivated, more willing to challenge himself and has opened up socially. She is very happy with his progress. His father says he engages more in soccer sees an improvement in his playing.
Brad's Family Story
In March of 1999 our family took a frip to Cabo San Lucas, we had a wonderful time with the exception of our children's health. Our daoghter had her first bout of broncial asthma and was on a nebulizer for alomst the entire trip. Our son had very difficult time with food digestion, it seemed that whatever we gave him caused very severe hiarrhea and cramping. We watched this young child that was once the picture of health slowly diminish into a person that showed every sign of starvation. For almost a year he stopped growing, his body weight was dropping and his muscles were wasting away. Despite all of our efforts and that of sepcialists, we finally thru a small miracle diagnosed our son with celiacs disease. Celiac is a gluten intolorance that effects the small intestines, it dissoves the villi in the walls of the intestinal tract, limiting the persons ability to absorb nutrients. Our son was indeed starving to death before our very eyes. After eliminating gluten from his diet, he began to regain his strength, his color returned from an ashen gray to the peach complexion that one would expect to see in a healthy child. He began building muscle, putting on weight and growing.
The damage that we did not see, however, was soon to be revealed. When our son started preschool we saw some developmental issuse coming up. After speaking to several knowledgeable people we discovered that during the time when he was struggling with celiacs, he had missed some very important brain development excercises, such as crawling ( he simply did not have the strength to do so). By the time he was in second grade his challenges were so great that we had to pull him from the private school that he was attending. He could not function in a classroom environment. So our nest step was to find ways to help him We started a program some refer to as a gype of "brain gym" that was specifically designed to help with those types of challenges. My son and I worked very hard doing up to twenty different excercises every day for well over 18 months. I began to home school him, we strugged valiantly for another year. Reading was coming very slowly, handwriting was a struggle and eye hand coordination was lacking. His eyes were not tracking properly and his pronunciation was not develped to the poing one would normally see in a child at this age. In short, we were haveing very limited success.
In August of 2007, some friends invited me to come to their home for a presentation on the "new therapy" that they were having done to their family. That night I sat in a on a Crossinology presentation given by Yolanda and Roger Lange, and it spoke to me. After the first ten minutes, the things that were being said were just a hum in the background. I had already made up my mind that this was going to happen, that we were going to have BIT done for our son. Several weeks later, my son and I hooked up a camp trailer and headed to Grand Junction, Colorado for an appointment with Roger.
In October of 2007, our son went through 15 1/4 hours of one on one therapy. Our conversations after each session were very encouraging , but I did not know what to expect once we got home and started to get back into his schooling. I drove back to California with what I consider a completely different boy. What I saw in the next six months was awesome. Both numbers and letters are vastly improved, sentences are straight, evenly spaced and done with far less effort. Reading has gone from little to no sight words to hundreds. Memory has greatly improved. His ability to complete a given task has greatly improved. His eye tracking in dead on (for the first time ever we played catch instead of throw, drop and chase). His social skills have improved and his speaking skills have improved. In short, Crossinology has worked on my and and I cannot be happier with the results.
The changes so impressed my mother-in-law that she decided to go through it herself, offering to take my wife with her. They both came back from Colorado thrilled. My wife told me she has "never felt smarter in her life". In her session, Yolanda activated a muscle in her left eye that corrected a locked muscle that required her to wear corrective lenses for over twenty years. She now wears contacts which she couldn't do before. My wife has said one the of biggest changes is that her stress level has greatly diminished. My mother -in-law has told me she feels her everyday life seem so much easier. I believe in this therapy! As I went through my integration, it was an amazing experience. My life has changed in ways that are hard to put into words. Daily stresses have diminished to a point that they seem a distant memory. My balance in imporved, my ability to concentrate on a subject had greatly improved. My ability to deal with my two children ages 11 and 10 has increased. My wife recently told me I'm much more patient with them than I have been in the past.
In a conversation I had recently with a person wondering whether or not to go through his therapy, he stated " I just don't want to look back in ten years and think, wow, what a waste of time and money." I assured him that in ten years he would look back and be very happy with his decision. That person recently called me at my home after getting integrated. He said it was a great experience and that is has chaned his life forever. So now I say to you "this therapy works!" There is nothing else out here that gets the results that you will get from Crossinology. Go to the web sites, ask people that have experienced it, do your homework and you will find this out for youself. I am currently training in Brain Integration.
Update from Brad : on Autism
The following story is about a mother's unwillingness to accept her son's diagnosis and being severely autistic as a life long sentence. My family joined a pre-school in early 2001, it was a small country style setting with a very open policy for accepting children with different life challenges. One of the students that we came to know very well was a young boy. The first time I saw him he was away from the rest of the group, setting alone starring blankly into space. When I approached he did not want anything to do with me, he turned his body as to let me know that he was off limits to outsiders. As time went by we got to be good friends with his family. Our families had a common bond, food allergies. When we found a good reciipe for gluten free cooking we shared it with his family and vis versa. We learned about all the different things that his mother was doing to try to reverse he son's diagnosis, and there were many. She had him on a very restricted diet, no gluten, no casein were the main things and seemed to have the biggest impact. We found out that he had what the doctors called a "super dose" of mercury through his immunizations. His blood test revealed his body was laden with heavy metals. Anothers condition he suffered with was an overgrowth of Candida. His parents went to work on those issue with a vengeance. They consulted the top specialist in the country leaving no stone un-turned. They had him on a wide variety of very specific diets to eliminated those conditions.
After years of exhaustive research and diet implementations they had gotten his body cleared of the heavy metals and had a handle on the Candida. At this point a normal response from him in causual meeting would be very guarded and very short. I would see him and say hello, he would walk by with his head down carefully avoiding eye contact and murmur a soft hi. Any attempt to engage him in conversations would either be avoided entirely or would result in short, yes and no answers. At this point he was attending Waldorf school again, a school with a very open policy toward accepting students with specific challgenges. He would participate in some activities, others, such as plays and choir he was not willing to participate in at all or perhaps in a very limited role.
At this point his parents started looking at different types of occupational therapy. They would get very little return for their effort and great amount of resistance with the things they tried. The results to a casual observer were not noticeable at all. About eight months ago a team of Crossinology practitioners (husband and wife) came to our town and offered to the community a different type of therapy, something they called Brain Integration. As usual the boy's family jumped right on it and scheduled him for the full treatment.
The results of the Brain Integration have transformed this child into a very different person. Three weeks after his integration took place his mother and I were having a converstion. He came running up to me, poked me in the side, looked me straight in the eyes and asked how I was doing. Not only was this the first physical contact I had ever had with him in our seven year relationship it was also the first time he had ever initiated a conversaation. The school has a play at Christmas every year, all the classes participate. The families of the students pack the local community center. This year it started with him coming front and center by himself and welcoming us all to the performance. There were tears of joy in more than one family's eyes that night. A couple of weeks later the classes gave a eurhythmy performance, a kind of synchronized interpretive dance. There he was perhaps being one of the most energetic performers on that night. In a conversation with his mother she stated that he had given his Granmother an opened arm hug fro the first time ever, earlier that week.
When you are looking at reversing a diagnosis of Autism there are many things to look at. The children with this condition come about it in many different ways, some through diet, some through immunizations, some in way yet to be answered. This is just on child's story , one of hope and of overcoming a very debilitating condition.
I was told upon starting out on a quest to find the answers for my own son's learning challenges that no one thing is likely to be the key to all of the issues. I have seen the results of Brain Integration on a child that was once diagnosed as severly autistic and I would say that it still holds true. Brain Integration did not eliminate the heavy metals from his body, or eliminate his need to be on a gluten and casein free diet. However, anyone who know this child or who has spent time with him will tell you it had made a huge impact on him A change so profround that any parent that I meet that has child with such a callenge I will strongly recommend that they seek out a practitioner of Crossinoloy and have that child Brain Integrated.
Robyn and Jared Shaw
"Amazing" was Robyn's first word about her experience with the Brain Integration, Muscle Integration and Craniosacral work.As a former wife of a chiropractor, she was well aware of the body's natural ways of healing itself and regaining its own balance and therefore receptive to the practioners' work as a facilitator in the process. Her long term and painful temporal mandibular joint was exascerbated by a recent whiplash and amalgum replacement in her teeth, but the condition was completely relieved.
In a different realm of need, her blocked nerve passages were affecting her whole emotional outlook. Vulnerably weakened by a recent divorce, her responses were blurred and incapable of good judgment. Brain Integration enabled her to regain her perspective and enthusiasm for life as her past negative emotions were cleared.
Robyn's son Jared's response to Brain Integration sessions has been no less dramatic. The trauma of a California earthquake experience had "shut down"his normal teenage bouyancy, described by his mother as "not quite awake." His sense of connection and redeemed self esteem were apparent from his very first visit and the block to his academic learning was removed. He has become again a responsible young adult enjoying his guitar and excelling at his studies.
Kaycee Woolsey's son Russell
The bottom line from Russell's mother is "Brain Integration got him off his meds." And that constitutes a major success for this 8 year old ADD victim who has completed 15 hours of therapy, alleviating all the symptoms magnified of his complusive, high energy, acting out behavior. As the pathways of his mind have been opened "he acts like a normal little boy". Having discontinued the doctor recommended medication with its crippling side effects, he uses instead. a homeopathic remedy which reinforces the Brain Integration. Friends use the word "awesome" as they see his change to a socially integrated little boy.
Comments from the mother of a 13 year old boy
Better interaction with siblings and peers; was able to do good jumping jacks which he has never been able to do; able to correct speech more quickly; using some vocabulary that he has assimulated from the environment; using more humor; less argumentative; speech was somewhat clearer; self-monditoring by removing himself from the computer when he was feeling frustrated.
Joey Fairey
Joey's mother Lori reports that the Brain Integration "works wonders" and achieves "fantastic" results for her 12 year old son. Although Joey has always done well academically and been socially popular with his peers, he began to exhibit a marked lack of focus and inattention as he approached the transition period from elementary to middle school, his small stature causing some of his anxiety. The death of both grandparents within a relatively short time added to the trauma of his general insecurity, but his four 3 hour sessions have worked so well that Lori is considering Brain Integration for herself. Update on Joey: I recieved a copy of Joey's report card 10/24/06. He had A' and B's and a report of good attitude/behavior effort and a pleasure to have in class. Joey made honor roll in January 2007.
Robin Finkel and grandson Riley
Riley's problems started with an ear infection which responded well to the Craniosacral sessons. Then an intestinal difficulty was corrected with the same good results. His grandmother also said that when Riley would get in a 5 year old "cranky mood", just one session would clear it right up.
Robin is a "firm believer" in the Craniosacral and Brain Integration sessions, as she has experienced it for herself. As a horse breaker, she has also been given Muscle Integration for injuries to her neck, legs, and back, restoring health and her self confidence. In fact, her enthusiam has brought other members of her family into this work. Robin's stepdaughter benifitted and her daughter's life changed dramatically after Craniosacral sessions for a head injury. Robin can't say enough wonderful things" about the total program and enjoys
"spreading the good news".
Comments from a mother of a 12 year old boy
He didn't have any meltdowns!; made an effort with his homework; school work seems easier; continuing with no violent episodes; improvement in aggreeable responses to correction; hasn't had any situations of vandalism
THE VICTORY AND SUCCESS OF A 9 YEAR OLD BOY NAMED CALEB JENSEN------Mothers story
Caleb sat by my bedside for about 1 hour and just talked the night after the first 2 hr. session, first time for such a long conversation. He spoke one sentence 14 words long. Complete and correct. His usual sentences were the average of 3 - 4 words. He had a great interest in throwing and catching smaller balls than previously. His reflexes appeared faster. He had one day he kept pressing on his forehead. Something felt off to him or different.
Caleb said" I'm already getting bigger.!" He stands up for himself verbally. Socially he is more assertive. He has a posture of confidence; is happy and more assertive emotionally; is participating more athleticly. Something physical around his eyes seems to have shifted. He is much more willing to do chores.
Caleb gets more accomplished. He is less apprehensive with other children. He is happy on his basketball team. 2 yrs ago he was very frustrated. " I can do it!" comes out of him a lot!. He gets up better in the AM; loves adding, independently finished his math.
Caleb read to me 45 min. after his BIT session. I thought it would be more of a struggle. He is more determined. His grandma invited him to read to her and he read an unfamiliar book. In the past he wouldn't do anything at this grandma's request especially acaedemic. He caught a pass and scored a basket in his game. He is much more verbal with his opinions about anything and everything. He talks and talks and talks. He is getting better about explaining to someone what he is learning about. Answers to questions are coming quicker. Udate on Caleb: Attending school now and continuing to learn and grow. Parents are very happy.
Comments from the mother of a 5 year old boy diagnosed with autism
After 3 Brain Ingration sessions : "He is talking more; cheerful and pleasant; good eye contact; seems to understand better".
LJ Age 38 - male
Through my life I have experienced more trauma than most:; from mental trauma to physical trauma. I now know that this truama has in fact had a major impact on my brain's ability to function normally. I was knocked unconscious several times during high school football, experienced head and neck trauma from four car accidents, a 400 pound stage prop hit me on the head, I was in a wave runner accident which severly damaged my right arm requiring several surgeries to repair. I experienced a good deal of social and mental impacts during high school and the following years.
I have been diagnosed with social anxiety disorder and depression. I have been treated with various medications and in and out of counseling many times. During the seven years prior to recieving Brain Integration I accumulated debt, declared bankruptcy, accumulated more debt. I became more and more socially reclusive and less and less able to function, even with day-to-day activities. A car accident in August of 2005 which caused significant head trauma and I crushed vertebra, probaby put me over the edge.
I could not think clearly, my reasoning skills were faulty. I was simply making very poor decisions, if any at all. I hated people, and wanted nothing to do with society. People would drive me crazy. I didn't want to deal with anything; I was despondent and depressed.
Being aware that my 10 year old nephew had Brain Integration Therapy my parents suggedted that I recieve the therapy also. This occured December 12-14,2006. I recieved 15 hours of Brain Integration and 2 hours of Craniosacral Therapy. The results were nothing short of miracuoous. Results are best stated by my parents as follows: Our son has had many trumatic experiences and Ms. Yolanda Lange, who performed the therapy, attributes his mental deficiencies to much of the above physical and mental traumas in his life. Since having Brain Integration we have seen a significant change in L's demeanor, he has has no bouts with depression and no anxiety has presented itself, which was the catalyst for feelings of depression and thoughts of suicide. His ability to reason has greatly improved, and his thought processes are clear and rational. He is much calmer and says he feels like great burden has been lifted. There has been a momentous change in his tolerance for other people and he has become more patient and understanding. We have noted that he is feeling a great deal of remorse for poor choices and mustakes of the past, but are amzed and thrilled with overall mental changes.
TM 29 year old male, October, 2006
My son had a difficult birth and struggled all through school. Just didn't fit in well - worked very hard to complete the work, but poor oganizational skills hampered his proress. He began projects but couldn't finish anything well. His obsessions and emotions whirled around him in a constant turmoil. In his mid twenties he married into a ready made family and was happy for a short while. Then again began to be overwhelmed and strugged to maintain a good life. Then he has a car accident and sustained a head injury.l Afterwards in an effort to keep up with the work load he turned to drugs for energy and a feeling of euphoria. Everything was in a total downward spiral. He lost everything he had and would have been homeless except for family intervention. Finally he was arrested and charged with some very serious offenses. This led to a month in a rehab facility. After leaving the rehab center he immediately recieved Brain Integration. This has enabled him to percieve life differently and manage his life with a positive and productive energy that he wasn't able to achieve before. He is happy and using his energy constructively. He feels good about himself.
