Well, it's been over a week now since I started using the OptiMINDzation CD Vol 1, and I've been listening for 20 mins in the morning, and 20-60 minutes every night. And I can honestly say I haven't noticed a difference in brain function. But then, maybe I'm not the best person to judge.
I've also been staying up late nearly every night, so probably not the best experimantal conditions. I did listen to the CD on my headphones whilst falling asleep.
On one part of the literature, Stephen Pierce wrote that you should try and concentrate on the pulsing sounds. No chance! That lasted about eight seconds. But he did say earlier that you should be totally relaxed, so those two would be a contradiction for me. I also have been reading and learning stuff, and am still slow as ever, but I ain't giving up yet.

44. OptiMINDzation Volume 1
Ok, I received the CD yesterday, and listened to it last night and this morning. I, of course, read the literature first that came with it that included advice on the best supplements to take for optimum brain function. I was pleased to discover that I'm already taking five out of the seven supplements recommended. I was then reminded that I hadn't noticed a difference in brain function since I first started taking them them, about a year ago (!) But then I have terrible difficulty sleeping.
I won't take the other two supplements just yet, because if they work, how will I know if the results are due to the supplements, or the CDs?
On to the CD. I put my headphones on as Stephen recommends, and relaxed in my comfy office chair. Immediately the low frequency pulsing sounds started, and I thought the CD was making the CD ROM drive rattle, as I could also hear higher frequency sounds outside the headphones, but when I removed the headphones, I couldn't hear the rattle, so that was part of the recording too.
I became more and more relaxed, and I'm not sure if that was due to my assocociating continious noise with sleep (I have a dehumidifier on at night to drown out ambient noise, as I'm such a light sleeper). I became so relaxed that I had to get my exercise mat and lie down.
Then I found a blanket and after what I thought was half an hour, I sat up and looked at the screen. I was listening via Windows Media Player, and it said two minutes had passed. I'd played the whole hour long CD and it had started again! So I must've fallen asleep. I don't know whether that's a good thing or not in regards to improving brain function, but if it improves my sleep, I'll be happy. But then, improved sleep would definitely improve brain function anyway.
It's still too early to tell whether it worked, but the good news is: I didn't hate it!

43. Brain Entraining

Stephen Pierce speaking at the World Internet Summit UK 2005 where he won Best Speaker Award.The other day I received an email from Internet Marketer Tom Hua promoting Stephen Pierce's new product about brain entraining, from www.OptiMINDzation.com . It claimed to rid me of all my symptoms of ADHD by listening to audio CDs that have specially created sounds that scientifically stimulate the brain to work more efficiently.
There was a lot more to it than that, but hey - I have ADHD (!) - that was all I could understand!
There's a different CD every month and each costs $30 + $12 posatge to the UK, so it costs about £22 a month. The sales letter was compelling and seemed to be backed up by lots of scientific references, and it mentioned cerebellar function which I know a bit about. I decided to buy as I trust Stephen (I've photographed him speaking at two seminars) and because of the depth of evidence in the sales letter.
As always with the most reputable internet marketers I can cancel anytime, and get a full refund, so if they do turn out to be complete ballony, I've only lost the postage cost.
Considering I was saving up £2000 for a year's treatment on the Dore Programme, I had to consider this alternative first. And Stephen, if it works on me - it'll work on anyone! I promise I'll be your best testimonial, because I've had no end of learning problems, poor memory and bad communication all my life.
Let's keep our fingers crossed. My first CD should arrive from the US soon.
