Neuroplasticity.  This big word is also becoming more of a buzzword as the trend in health care turns away from traditional paradigms to new research on brain function.  From CBC's David Suzuki, to Dr. Daniel Amen on PBS, and radio's John Tesh, media continues to discover that this big word is indeed a topic of enormous practical importance.Understanding the brain’s innate adaptive process and its relationship to optimal health represents a revolutionary approach in healing.

Healing The Hurt

Recently, neuroplasticity was a featured topic in Time Magazine (read article here).  Through the use of Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) we can now see with hard evidence that the physical structure and function of a brain “in pain” is much different from a normal and healthy brain.  This technology allows us to see changes in the brain in real time.

As reported in Time Magazine, Dr. Sean Mackey, a professor of anesthesia and pain management at Stanford University, speaks to the pain mechanisms of the brain and his studies suggest that we can identify what regions of the brain are responsible for pain.  Moreover, his studies also suggest that through our conscious awareness, we can learn how to act back on the brain and change the brain circuits that are responsible for pain.

Along with chronic pain, impaired brain wiring is also at the very root of illnesses like Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, Fibromyalgia and Anxiety. 

The initial cause of trauma to the brain in all of these conditions can vary from chemical injury, viral infection, environmental pollutants, compounded injuries and inflammation to extreme psychological and emotional stress.  And often it is a combination of these various stressors that create the perfect storm that results in brain trauma that alters brain structure and function.     Regardless of the cause of injury, the trauma catapults the brain into a maladapted stress response and causes cross wiring of brain function. 

This faulty wiring also sends false alarm messages to the body.  Over time these messages affect the function of multiple systems of the body. The distorted response to sensory and emotional stimuli feeds on itself - perpetuating the trauma circuit in the brain, along with pain and various symptoms of illness.

However, when you correct this impaired mechanism in the brain - you can transform your health and reclaim your life - period.  

Yet the process itself of self directing neuroplastic changes in the brain is not a quick and easy one.  In order to rewire brain function it takes personal discipline and focused dedication. 

Coast To Coast

The Dynamic Neural Retraining System™ continues to take its successful in-person program across North America starting with our sold-out program on Vancouver Island next week. 

We are adding two new dates and I want you to be the first to know about them.  We will be hosting our 3 day program in Kelowna, British Columbia on April 29.  This will be our first return engagement in Kelowna for over a year and is bound to sell out quickly!

We are also pleased to announce that we are bringing the Dynamic Neural Retraining System to the east coast and will be holding our program in Halifax, Nova Scotia June 10th.  Sign up now and take advantage of our early-bird discounts!
