Mental Retardation (MR)

There is no known medical help for Mental Retardation. However, my CVS research has demonstrated that the vast majority of individuals with MR also have Dyslexia and related disorders. As a result, by treating MR individuals with CVS-enhancing medications, there can be significant improvements.
    In other words, MR individuals with cerebral processing difficulties also have signal scrambling disturbances of CVS origin, i.e., Dyslexia. By improving the signals, the defective cortical processors have a much easier time functioning.

Cerebral Palsy (CP)

There is no known medical help for Cerebral Palsy. However, my CVS research has demonstrated that the vast majority of individuals with CP also have Dyslexia and related disorders. As a result, by treating CP individuals with CVS-enhancing medications, there can be significant improvements.
    In other words, CP individuals with cerebral processing and related motor difficulties also have signal scrambling disturbances of CVS origin, i.e., Dyslexia. B improving the signals, the defective cortical processors have a much easier time functioning.

Autism

Many researchers have reported cerebellar deficits in Autism -- and some believe this disorder is of cerebellar origin. My experiences have led me to think otherwise. The language disorder in Autism appears to have a cerebral or thinking-brain quality. But since the cerebellum is also involved, once again treating Autism with CVS enhancing medications often results in overall improvements -- even though the basic autistic mechanisms may still be evident. Some improvements, however, are infinitely better than none.

Alcoholism/Substance-Abuse/Criminal Acting-Out

Because of the cognitive fog and predisposition to severe anxiety and panic, many CVS-Dyslexics have, as well as chronic feelings of stupidity and ugliness, many drift into dropping-out of school, alcoholism, drug abuse, and criminal behavior. Once again, recognizing and treating the hidden cause of these disorders can be lifesaving to many -- especially if diagnosis is made early and treatment begun before lives are destroyed.

Multiple Sclerosis

Because many with MS have also CVS dysfunctioning, a significant number can be helped symptomatically with CVS-enhancing medications similar to those given Dyslexics.

Deafness

Individuals with repeated middle-ear infections as well as impaired 8th or auditory nerve functioning very often evidence slight or hidden inner-ear dysfunctioning -- especially since the auditory and inner-ear nerve are like Siamese twins and damage to one injures the other. For example, when there is hearing loss due to 8th nerve damage and auditory perceptual scrambling of the limited input from a CVS dysfunction, improving the scrambling may lead to significant overall functioning. As a result, patients suddenly recognize speech patterns that before were scrambled.

Whiplash/Post-Concussion States

Since the neck is an integration center for the inner-ear and thus CV system, whiplash and even post-concussion states result in dyslexic-like symptoms associated with impaired balance/coordination, reading, memory, and concentration. As a result, early diagnosis and treatment may result in improvement until compensation occurs.

Brain Injury

Diffuse brain injury and trauma often affects the cerebral cortex and thinking-brain. But most often the CVS is also impaired -- resulting in a mixed syndrome. As a result, the use of CVS-enhancing medications often results in overall improvements.

Infectious Diseases

Repeated middle-ear infections and mononucleosis (Epstein-Barr virus) frequently lead to acquired Dyslexic and ADD states. Early diagnosis and therapy may result in significant improvement.

Pervasive Developmental Delay (PDD)

PDD may either represent a severe Dyslexic/ADD state or more likely -- a mixed CVS and other CNS disorder. Once again, proper diagnosis and effective treatment with CVS-enhancing medications often leads to significant help.

Psychosomatic-like Disorders

Headaches in children are most commonly caused by the CVS dysfunction in Dyslexia. The same is true with bedwetting, dizziness, vague abdominal complaints, nausea, vomiting tendencies, poor heat/cold tolerance, excessive sweating, and even Raynaud's-like phenomena. Dysautonomia or disturbances in the autonomic nervous system may even lead to erectile or sexual dysfunction (for these reasons, Viagra and Prostaglandin are helpful) and eating disorders in adults. Dyslexia and/or its resulting stressors may complicate peptic ulcers in children and adults. Once again, proper diagnosis and treatment may lead to rapid and significant benefits.

Muscle Tone Disturbances

Poor or asymmetric muscle tone of the eyes may complicate strabismus. A similar disturbance of the body muscles may intensify those predisposed to scoliosis. Low or poor muscle tone of the feet may lead to pes planus or flat feet. Double jointedness as well as all the above disorders may be caused by a CVS dysfunction and be helped by proper treatment.

Down's Syndrome

The hypotonia or low muscle tone and non-cortical CVS-related symptoms in this disorder can be helped by CVS-enhancing medications.

Developmental Sensory/Motor/Language or Speech Disorders

Most of the above developmental disorders in children are due to CVS dysfunctioning and respond favorably to CVS-enhancing medications. These variously named disorders (visual/auditory perceptual disturbances, apraxia, dyspraxia, dysphasia, dysnomia, accident proneness, balance disorders, etc.) should be considered part and parcel of the Dyslexic Syndrome.

Post-Neurosurgical Syndromes

A variety of Dyslexic- and ADD-like syndromes as well as the above mentioned "psychosomatic" and other symptoms arise following neurosurgical procedures. Not infrequently, CVS-enhancing medications can be helpful.
