Improvement in remembering...

I have noticed an improvement in remembering strings of digits and remembering (long enough to write down) a telephone number of the first hearing. Often before, the number would be jumbled up in my head.

I understand my kids better.

How has Books Neural Therapy™ helped? The thing that comes to mind the most is that unbeknownst to me, there are words to songs that mean something! Not the jumbled and jabbered, not quite understood words that I had heard before.

I understand my kids better. When they talk I don’t get this blank feeling in my head that I knew the kid just said something.

I also haven’t got lost nearly as much lately. In my job, I drive all over the place and I haven’t gotten turned around. I have a better sense of direction…where I am….which way I’m going….I don’t have as much trouble remembering figures and dates. It’s worth the effort.

I felt like a fog had lifted from my brain. I could think more clearly.

I was referred to Dr. Books by my therapist. I was diagnosed several years ago as having right and left brain deficits which caused learning disabilities. My greatest problem was with reading and comprehension. I read very slowly and often would have difficulty remembering what I had just read. My work involves a great deal of reading at a fast pace. I was concerned about keeping my job so sought help.

Initially, I noticed that I began to remember names. I also noticed that after reading a sentence I could rewrite more of it by memory. Then around the sixth week I felt like a fog had lifted from my brain. I could think more clearly.

I like Dr. Books very much and I feel she is very interested in my progress. She is as excited about my progress as I am.”

My vision became in focus for the first time in years...

During that first session while Dr. Books was holding points near my eyes, my vision became in focus for the first time in years. My eyes worked well individually, but they lacked the ability to work together. This inability affected my depth perception as I subconsciously used one eye for my visual intake.

I saw improvements with my concentration. I had difficulty concentrating with external visual input and auditory stimuli such as movement nearby as I tried to concentrate or even the sound of someone’s hand across the paper who might be sitting next to me in a classroom situation.
Because of my concentration difficulties, I found that I would forget items even while doing the same project. This meant a great deal more time completing a project. After the initial series of sessions, I have occasionally needed periodic readjustments for this (after an illness, for example).

I felt like the TIN MAN in the Wizard of Oz

I felt like the TIN MAN in the Wizard of Oz. I feel like I have a heart and that I’m alive now. I’m not a robot anymore. And I think other people say the same things and see the changes. Dr. Books is very professional and very competent and also she is a very nice lady.

Dyslexic adult returns to school

I feel fortunate about finding out about this treatment before trying to tackle going back to school (at 50). I’m feeling great about going back to school. I can spend my energy now on learning instead of learning how to learn.

Money is not the issue, because you're correcting your life.

Money is not the issue, because you’re correcting your life. Parents, understand that your kids have an opportunity now to correct their lives and get ahead whereas with adults, it means starting all over for us. I wish I had started this when I was 9.

A lot of people think I’m crazy for going through this treatment but I don’t care. They don’t understand what it is like not to be able to read. Money is nothing if you can’t do what you need to do in life.

After the treatment I have found I am enjoying to sew and read. I have begun to read a novel and remember what I’ve been reading. Sewing is no longer frustrating. I don’t feel dumb any longer and I think that has improved my self-image and self-confidence.
