Quantum Reflex Integration (QRI) is a therapy that claims to helps learning disabled, autistic, sensory processing disorder, anxiety, depression, and chronic pain people of all ages. It was created by Bonnie Brandes.

Primitive Reflexes Primitive reflexes are the automatic responses naturally hardwired into people when they are born. In the start of life, the primitive reflexes ensure survival. Primitive reflexes train the brain as a baby develops and grows. As the neuropathways develop by repetition and reflexes, the brain learns what to do for survival and movement of the body. When they are not needed, they go dormant. 
The reflexes appear and integrate in stages. They are present when a baby learns to roll over, crawl and walk. It is believed when this integration is interrupted, a child's development may not progress smoothly. They say that children need to move through their primitive reflexes so they can have access to their "learning brain." They believe this is …

Dr. Bonnie Brandes holds a Bachelor of Science from Utah State University in psychology and Behavior Modification and a Masters Degree in Multicultural Language development from National University. She has studied herbs and nutrition for over 40 years. She has a background in kinesiology programs such as Touch for Health. She was an MNRI  International Specialist and Instructor.

Brades wrote a book explaining her QRI protocol. It is called "The Symphony of Reflexes: Interventions for Autism, ADHD, Cerebral Palsy and Human Development." She talks about primitive reflexe…

It is common knowledge for my current readers but for my newcomers, I was born Deaf and now I am hard of hearing. My hearing history can be found here.

A lot of audism has been going around social media. Autism is discrimination against people based on their ability to hear. One is the thought that the Deaf community is strange for not being for cochlear implants or hearing aids.

The Deaf Community is very much like the Autistic community, as far as values go. Both communities do not wish to be "fixed." People on the outside view hearing aids to be a similar device to glasses, only for sound. They could not be more wrong. Let me walk you through the processes of getting a hearing aid.

The hearing test The name sounds harmless enough. The hearing test requires the subject to be put into a small booth. The booth is equipped with sound equipment that is controlled by the audiologist in a separate room. They look for the subject's reaction to different sounds, even if they …

Dr. Richard Boles is a medical geneticist and pediatrician. He specializes in mitochondrial medicine functional disease (this includes cyclic vomiting syndrome, and other atypical forms of migraine and chronic fatigue syndrome) and autism.

The purpose of his private practice in Medical Genetics is to apply DNA sequencing to the "health of the child."

Personal Statement from Dr. Boles:

"My career and passion for the last 20 years has been to bring the functional and autistic disorders into the medical mainstream. I do not believe that people who suffer from chronic and severe pain, nausea, or fatigue should be told that there is nothing “real” going on, nothing that can be tested for, and nothing that can be treated. I do not believe that parents of a child with autism should be told that further diagnosis and treatment are unavailable or inappropriate. Recent advances in genetics have exploded in the last several years regarding the genetic and environmental factors tha…

Neurofeedback is a type of biofeedback. Neurofeedback is the direct training of brain function. Practitioners claim it helps the brain function more efficiently. The brain is observed in action from "moment to moment." The information is shown back to the patient. The brain gets rewarded for changing its own activity to more typical patterns. This is a gradual learning process. This is more like brain training.

The neurofeedback trains in self-regulation. Neurofeedback addresses brain dysregulation. The conditions that cause this are:

An experimental therapy, intensive suit therapy provides a child with proper posture, muscle tone and patterns of movement impaired by disability.  It's considered experimental because there is very little independent data on it. There is inadequate evidence of its effectiveness. There are published anecdotal accounts. The FDA considers it a class one limb orthosis brace. The suit is exempt from the premarket notification procedures of the FDA and the manufacturer does not require to provide evidence prior to marketing.

There were a few studies done. The results are not available in peer-reviewed publications as now. There was a study by Dr. Alexander Frank and associates at the Motion Analysis Laboratory, Assaf Harofeh Medical Center in Israel. It reported the results of 24 children who have CP and a functional level of II, III or IV according to the gross motor function classification system. Patients were randomly assigned to either a standard physical therapy program or a sui…

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is when pure oxygen is in a pressurized room, tube or chamber. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a proven medical treatment for specific medical conditions.

These conditions are:

Decompression sickness (a hazard of scuba diving)serious infectionsemboli (bubbles of air in blood vessels) wounds that won't head as a result of diabetes or radiation injurysevere anemiabrain absessburncarbon monoxide poisoningcrushing injurysudden Deafness (we know how I feel about this)gangreneinfection of the skin or bone that cause tissue deathskin graft or skin flap at risk of tissue deathsudden and painful vision loss In a hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber, the air pressure is increased to three times higher than the normal air pressure. Under these conditions, the patient's lungs can gather more oxygen than would be possible breathing pure oxygen at normal air pressure. 
The patient's blood carries oxygen throughout the body. This helps fight bacteria and stimulate the…

Calcium bentonite clay is an absorbent kind of clay that typically forms after volcanic ash ages. The name comes from Fort Benton, Wyoming, where the largest source of clay is found. Calcium bentonite clay is found worldwide. It is believed that it can absorb negatively charged toxins.

The Minnesota Department of Health and Agriculture issued a warning about calcium bentonite clay. It alerted consumers to avoid ingesting it due to the possibility that the products contain heavy metals, including lead.

The FDA also released a warning about two products containing calcium bentonite clay. They are Best Bentonite Clay and Bentonite Me, baby. This was for the same reasons as the Minnesota Department of Health. There were elevated levels of lead.

Exposure to lead can cause serious health problems. This includes damage to the central nervous system, kidneys, and immune system. In children, exposure to lead, even at a low level, is associated with cognitive impairment, reduced IQ (it's a…

An Ozone sauna is a sauna that infuses Ozone, three oxygen atoms, through steam and hot air into the skin and body in a sauna room. Ozone is absorbed through the patient's pores and absorbed into the body.

Ozone (O3) gas was discovered in the mid 19th century. It is a molecule consisting of three atoms of oxygen in an unstable structure. It is unstable due to the presence of mesomeric states. A mesomeric state is when the electrons of an atom are transferred from multiple bonds to an atom or from multiple bonds to a single colavent bond or an atom with lone pair of electrons to adjacent single bonds. In other words, the electron is overworked. Ozone gas is colorless, has an acrid odor and explosive in liquid or solid form.

In 1976, the FDA initially stated, and restated in 2006, when ozone is inhaled, it is a toxic gas which has no demonstrated safe medical application, through their position statements primarily dealing with its potential for causing inflammation and pulmonary e…

Infrared saunas are small rooms that use infrared heaters to emit light experienced as radiant heat. It is absorbed by the surface of the skin. These saunas heat the body primarily by conduction and convection from the heated air and by radiation of the heated surfaces in the sauna room. Because of this, the infrared sauna isn't an actual sauna by Finnish sauna societies. This is because of the application of the infrared electromagnetic field spectrum to the human body.

In 2018, there was a meta-analysis of 9 clinical trials found that 5 weekly sessions of infrared sauna for 2 - 4 weeks, was associated with a significant reduction in brain natriuretic peptide (BNP). This is a marker of heart failure progression. It also is associated with cardiothoracic ration. This is an indicator of heart enlargement. It also improved left ventricular ejection fraction but no significant effect on left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, systolic blood pressure or diastolic blood pressure.
