·          I have more notes than I can publish at the moment. So, instead of leaving you in the dark until I do publish them, I’ve decided to post them here.

·          Notes will be removed when they become moot.

 

01/28/05

Using eye dominance to affect ear dominance (vision is the supreme sense)

 

Depression: dehydration

 

Move immobility to vision page or ocular motility section

 

Stats on how lack of aerobic exercise affects breathing, vital capacity

 

Arrhythmia, dysrhythmia

 

Myopia: accommodative fatigue, spatial vision, neuropsychology, orienting response

 

Melanin exhaustion?

 

Eyes in orbit? (auditory location)

 

Self-esteem: Sample affirmations

 

Salt affects serotonin levels?

 

Dehydration->histamine->allergies->serotonin?

 

Allergies: foods we crave (because of serotonin?)

 

CFS: dehydration, breathing

Breathing: rounded shoulders

Tips for creating a hypoallergenic bedroom

 

Posture: general tips:

Sit up straight

Sinking seat cushions are bad

Okay to change posture occasionally—prevents static posture

 

Covering one eye decreases melanin in that eye and exacerbates photoreception and vision enhancement? Other eye improves?

 

Why take breaks during palming? Improves accommodation?

 

TV audio settings for people with hyperacusis

No treble?

 

Dehydration: diabetes

 

Immune system: gingivitis

Brush 3 times a day?

Over-brushing

 

Batmanghelidj’s opinion of rehydration drinks?

 

Accommodation and blinking/breathing

 

Hyperacusis: use graphic equalizer to determine which ranges cause sensitivity? Use a graphic equalizer with more, smaller ranges?

 

Recommend 800x600 mode, smaller fonts to improve accommodation?  (small objects)

 

Harder to swallow when dehydrated? A signal?

 

auditory localization : Laterality, binaural unmasking, cocktail party effect

 

Short wavelength of solar spectrum includes UV? (melanin)

 

Zinc (antioxidant) and Alzheimers

 

Can PC noise cause high-frequency hearing loss?

 

Chlorine levels in small/medium-sized towns is significant? Use a shower filter? Dehydration?

 

New section: preserving laterality

Chewing side preference, arm tension and leg tension as indicators of laterality problems such as mixed ear or mixed eye dominance,

 

 

SMR and convergence, lack of convergence?

 

Deep pressure and endorphins?

 

Salt is really an antihistamine or does it only break up mucus? (Batmanghelidj)

 

Mozart effect: specially filtered music (removing lower frequencies, bass)

 

Move ‘light sensitivity’ to vision page; not all light sensitivity is caused by binocular dysfunction

 

Mozart effect: consider: hypersensitive

*add link to pink noise: treble and bass

 

Slouching and muscular imbalance between abdominals and lower back

 

High-frequency hearing loss, hyperacusis

 

More information about conductive hearing loss

 

Auditory localization: cocktail party effect

 

More information about macular degeneration

*melanin

*causes

 

Light-headed from breathing too quickly (breathing exercises)

 

Myopia improves auditory localization

AND

Oculomotor function improves auditory localization?

 

Mobility: muscle tension

 

Breathing exercises vs. aerobic exercise (mood)

 

The IC and blood flow, metabolism

 

Rapid blinks: two seconds between blinks seems too long; encourages eyestrain?

 

Turning off radio while driving encourages vision, accommodation

 

Unilateral earplugging and conductive hearing loss

Conductive hearing loss causes/exacerbates hyperacusis

 

Dehydration affects blink rate? (water rationing)

 

Syntonics and ocular motility?

 

Straining is kind of like a convergence exercise, but no accommodation?

 

Immune system: dehydration, gingivitis, CFIDS

 

Antioxidants: melanin, melatonin

 

Blinking and conjunctivitis, dry eye

 

Breathing: SIS (vital capacity), CFS (lungs), FMQ, dehydration, mobility, motility, immobility

 

Breathing and detoxification? Negative ions, SIS

 

Lack of sleep and conjunctivitis

Conjunctivitis from dehydration and histamine?

 

Dehydration: tips

Page 157 of book

Drink glass of water when you wake up? breathing

Salt: mucus

 

Benefits of SMR and immobility vs. benefits of mobility, ocular motility

Short periods of SMR?

Too much SMR

Batmanghelidj: allowing yourself to become thirsty

Excess of endorphins and a lack of SMR?

 

Voluntary vs. involuntary breathing, blinking

 

01/16/05

Tai chi and the scaleni, sunning exercise

 

Rename section ‘too much lateralisation’ to ‘too much/too little’ lateralisation

 

High frequency hearing loss and hyperacusis

 

Laterality->integration, binocular functions

 

Dynamic range and commercials

 

Check ear dominance every morning?

 

People with adrenal fatigue should avoid spicy foods?

 

Hyperacusis: things to consider:

Mozart effect

Low frequency noise

Pc noises

 

Hyperacusis: Increase treble of pink noise at one ear and decrease sensitivity to high frequencies?

Increase bass of pink noise at other ear and increase sensitivity to high frequencies?

 

Overproduction of histamine because of dehydration can cause eye discharge?

 

Diameter and depth of suppression

 

More likely to slouch if chair is too low?

 

Binocular functions, integration, occipital lobes

 

Myopes are more accurate at localizing sounds than normal-sighted subjects

 

Hyperacusis: important to process pink/white noise on a subconscious level (barely audible) instead of processing disturbing sounds on a subconscious level (auditory shut-down)

 

Hyperacusis: move section ‘auditory shut-down’ to a separate topic

 

Bad idea to twist neck quickly? More information about dehydration and neck pain (Batmanghelidj book)

 

New topic: sleep deficit

 

Allergies may be exacerbated by melatonin supplements or natural melatonin?

 

New topic: Tryptophan

 

More information about melanin and vision enhancement, photoreception

 

01/06/05

Tight shoelaces and foot dominance, proprioception

Walking improves foot proprioception?

 

Bronchitis and dehydration

 

Sagging mattress and leg tension

 

Quadricep weakness, muscular imbalance, leg tension, problem extending lower leg.

 

CI program: stereoscopic sound? Posted on hyperacusis web site?

 

Fibromyalgia: tight socks and proprioception

 

Nutrition: new topic—Nutrient pathway, scalene muscles (scaleni), TOS

 

Palming: aversive behaviors

*light increases serotonin, adrenaline

 

Hot bath/shower decreases circulation in people with diabetes?

 

An increase in breathing, when palming, indicates an increase in alpha or melatonin?

 

Hypoglycemia, serotonin, and light sensitivity

 

‘hitchhiker’ exercise causes axial extension?

 

01/05/05

Pattern recognition and boredome, repetive tasks

 

What is plasticity of the brain?

 

Salty foods: some cold cuts, bread

 

What distance is the limit of near convergence?

 

Visual shutdown? Visual shutdown == CI? Compare with auditory shutdown

 

Sensory book: effects of sensory overload—adrenaline, neurotransmitters

 

Light sensitivity: exposure to light causes afterglow on retina?

 

Uses of ‘turning head’ stretch vs. trapezius stretch

 

How much bass or treble are in a healthy person’s voice?

A person can only reproduce noises that they are able to hear)
