I. Back to School
I hope that you are enjoying your summer. Maybe you have been
traveling, spending time on the beach, fishing, swimming,
sightseeing, or getting some much needed rest. With the summer
flying by it's time to think about going back to school. The
kids are going back to school. Maybe it's time for you to go
back too. Our summer Biofeedback and Neurofeedback seminars

USA, plus Aruba, Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Turkey.
Our next Biofeedback seminar will be Oct. 21-26 in Tarrytown,
New York.
Our next EEG/Neurofeedback seminar will be Oct. 28 - Nov. 1,
also in Tarrytown, New York.

II. Review of the book, "How to Reverse and Prevent Heart
Disease and Cancer - Practical Tools based on Breakthrough
Research", by Naras Bhat, MD, FACP ISBN:0-9624780-0-9.
I believe that this book may prove to save my life or extend it
and improve the quality of it. I had seen listings for
presentations that Dr. Bhat was scheduled to do at several
biofeedback conferences. They looked interesting to me but I
never attended one. There always seemed to be a schedule
conflict. There was always another presentation going on at
the same time. But every time I saw one of his presentations
listed, I paused and wanted to attend but didn't.
Here are some of the statistics that Dr. Bhat points out in his
book:
Cardiovascular diseases kill about one million Americans every
year - about 50% of all deaths. Cancer causes about 25% of all
deaths. One American dies of a cardiovascular disease every 34
seconds. One in four Americans has some sort of heart disease.
There are 1.2 million cases of heart attacks in America
annually. 500,000 of those people die. About 1/2 million
people have strokes. 60 million have hypertension.
When I was younger my blood pressure had always been good -
relatively low - about 110/65 - 120/70. My weight was also
good - 160-178. I was also able to lose 5 lbs in one week
without any problem. All I had to do is cut back a little bit
on my food intake and maybe do a little exercise. Life was
good. I didn't really have any major stress going on in my
life. Everything was good at work. Everything was going well
in my family and spiritual life. Things have changed over the
last several years. My stress load, weight and blood pressure
have all increased. I was starting to get concerned.
When I saw this book title, I thought to myself - I need this!
I have been meaning to get to one of his presentations and I
haven't. Maybe I didn't actually believe I needed it before.
This time I knew that I really did need it. So I bought it. I
started to read it. It was difficult to put down. It really
brought home in some easy to understand ways things about the
effects of stress and how biofeedback and other forms of stress
management can be helpful. It also taught me things that I
think I should have known long ago about nutrition and the
positive and negative effects nutrition can have.
In the book, Dr. Bhat explains the effects of stress,
nutrition, stress management, breathing, etc. down to the DNA,
molecular and atomic level. It talks about the 'warfare' of
free radicals and antioxidants - supplements. This helped me
to see the connections between stress, nutrition, supplements,
stress management, etc., and heart disease and cancer in a more
clear way. The book makes it understandable to most anybody. I
was upset that I didn't have the insight earlier in my life. I
guess the time was just right when it came along.
Another topic covered is the negative effects of anger on
health. It is surprising to know the amount of damage that is
done to our bodies every time we become angry. Dr. Bhat gives
various techniques to deal with this problem too. The book
includes many illustrations, charts, and graphs that help to
clarify some of the concepts that are put forth. I found some
parts of the book to be repetitive but the repetitions were
meaningful and effective. If this book was so eye opening for
me, one who has been in the biofeedback field for over 20
years, I thought how much more eye opening and life saving
could it be for those who know little or nothing about health,
stress management, and nutrition. I suggest that you get a
copy for yourself and get a copy to give to someone you love
and care about. It might save their life especially if they
are at risk.
You can get the book from us at 877-669-6463, order online at
http://www.biofeedbackinternational.com or from other book retailers. I was
so impressed by this book that I plan to contact the author
about doing seminars for our organization. I would like to do
seminars for the general public as well as health care
professionals. I believe that this book has the potential to
save many lives and improve the health and quality of life for
many people.
Please send me an email with your comments if you have also
read the book or if you would be interested in attending a
seminar by the author. I will put you on a list to be notified
when a seminar is planned.
