It's really encouraging to read stories like yours Black Bear :-) Thanks for sharing an update. It's a hard road to self-navigate and make the right choices out of ALL the alternative therapies there are out there. Like you said, it's about listening to the body and letting instinct guide.
It's really interesting that salt for you worked much better than neurofeedback. It kinda suggests for the brain 'pathways' to work optimally we need the essential minerals from salt and the brain will sort itself out. Considering the brain takes 30% of the fuel we put into our mouths, if nutrition is depleted, especially electrolytes, 'electric-function' of the synapses just are not going to work effectively.
The alpha stim sounds interesting...will check that out!
I hope you continue to feel better and better...sounds like you're on the right path and really it's quite the turnaround in just 12 months...a huge well done...and many thanks for the inspiration! :-)
