Since 2008 the Dynamic Neural Retraining System™ has grown to become a very successful, credible, and powerful neuroplasticity based paradigm in healing.   Our limbic system retraining program has been internationally received and instrumental in recovery from various limbic system disorders like Chemical Sensitivities, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Electric Hypersensitivity Syndrome and Anxiety.

And lately, it seems like the most recent neuroscience research is confirming what we already know to be true — that the brain is capable of change.

What we also realize at DNRS is that not all change is good change.  In fact, in limbic system related disorders the neural circuits have become disorganized through trauma.

At DNRS we understand how these disorganized neural circuits affect the different systems of the body and how this expresses as illness.  And moreover we teach our clients how to correct or rewire these neural circuits so that they can go on  to lead happy, healthy and fulfilling lives.   Yes,  the testimonials on our website are all true — rewiring your  brain can alter your life in the most profound way and make a  believer out of anyone.  Even for people who have been  suffering for 30 years or had been to see 52 doctors before they  found us – like Gloria (http://dnrsystem.com/testimonials_Gloria.html).

Understanding and learning how to self-direct neuroplastic  changes in the brain is driving a revolution in health care, and  finally the world is taking notice.

We have travelled extensively over the last 3 years to bring  this teaching to those who need it the most.  Our business  for the most part has been word of mouth and is a grass roots  movement filled with highly compassionate people who want to  share their recovery stories with others in hopes that they can  prevent further suffering.

And to them, we say a big Thank You! for standing on the rooftop  and telling people about your recovery.   It is  because of your efforts that the medical community is now taking  notice.  In fact alternative, environmental, and  conventional doctors are referring their patients to this  program.

And now we have a whole country throwing their support behind  us.

The Government of Switzerland has been following The Dynamic  Neural Retraining System™ and our work with neuroplasticity for  quite some time.  We are happy to officially announce that  they are sponsoring the Dynamic Neural Retraining System™ in  Zurich in May, 2012.  The program there will be 5 days as  we will have two German translators present as well.  We  are grateful to the Swiss government for being leaders in this  field and are hopeful that other governments will soon take  notice and follow suit.

Closer to home, the Dynamic Neural Retraining System™ program  returns to Florida April 13 through 15.  We have an amazing  special guest speaker attending who will blow you away.   Internationally known fitness guru Phil Kaplan will speak about  his own amazing recovery with the Dynamic Neural Retraining  System™.  Phil had suffered from severe Multiple Chemical  Sensitivities due to mold toxicity.  Phil had also seen  countless specialists and had spent more than $300,000 before  finding us.  And to top it off, he had been misdiagnosed  with Parkinson’s along the way!

Thanks again to everyone in our DNRS Community who are standing  up to be heard in their recovery!  The world is listening  and know that your recovery is paving a road with hope and  inspiration for countless others.

Much Love and Blessings to All,

Annie Hopper

Residents of Edmonton with Multiple Chemical Sensitivities (MCS) may now register their address as a “location of interest”. A computer profile will be created which contains information and guidelines for police personnel to follow in the event police are called to the residence. The information and guidelines are created together by the person affected by MCS and the police department.

Please call the Edmonton Police Service, Complaint Line, at 780-423-4567 (or fax info to 780-421-3311 attention: Rick Franchuk) to make arrangements to have the 911 Dispatch Section create a profile.

On October 4, 2011, Health Canada issued a warning for those under the age of 18 to limit their cell phone use. Click here for document.  This warning comes 5 months (May 31, 2011) after the World Health Organization classified radio frequency radiation as a possible human carcinogen and it comes more than a year after cell phone providers issued warnings about the use of cell phones in their user manuals.

If Health Canada truly cared about the health of Canadians, this is what they would do.

1.  They would issue a warning (similar to that Council of Europe) that wireless routers be replaced with wired routers for internet access in schools, at home, and at work. No one should be exposed for hours each day to pulsed microwave radiation generated by Wi-Fi routers.  For places that need to have wireless routers, they should use the patent issued to Swisscom for their “on demand” routers that radiate only when in use.

All of the meetings of EHA-Ab are educational for me and I learn a lot from the people and what is going on. At the July 2011 meeting I learned that one of our members is beginning to experience some success because she is tirelessly advocating for herself in an assertive non-aggressive manner. From another member, I learned the name of an unscented healthy version of body wash (I have completely avoided them in the past). I learned that one of our members is his medical specialist’s healthiest patient. This is most likely because of his lifestyle changes, the innovative adaptations he has made to the equipment in his workplace, and his self-advocacy and assertion with people he meets in his personal and professional life. I learned that his continual efforts to educate his occupational medical specialist, are finally being met with something other that disdain. This may, in part, have something to do with his persistence and the quality of printed materials being offered (Canadian Lung Association, etc.) I learned another member is improving because of her implementation of a mind/body approach. On a organizational level, I learned advertising may not be advantageous due to the possibility it may jeopardize our neutrality and our professional image.

Grievance – Duty to accommodate – Telework – Environmental hypersensitivity

The grievor filed a grievance against the employer for making it difficult to obtain the accommodation to which she was entitled – the grievor suffered from environmental hypersensitivity, and telework was the accommodation recommended by the physician – a new manager questioned the arrangement – the employer did not provide the grievor with the equipment that she needed to work from home in a timely manner – the adjudicator found that the employer failed in its duty to accommodate by trying to change the grievor’s work arrangement without consulting her and by failing to provide the required work tools in a timely fashion – however, the adjudicator found that no harassment had occurred – the adjudicator awarded compensation for pain and suffering and a special compensation under the Canadian Human Rights Act.

Grievance allowed.

The following one minute video was put together by Dr. Devra Davis, Phd. Dr. Davis works in the field of public health and recently released this video on cell phones and children. Hopefully we can get the word out as Canada (other the the Toronto Board of Health) has not yet released a statement. A growing number of European countries have issued statements and hopefully Canada will not be far behind.

International Musician, October 2010

Trombonist Scott Bean of Local 400 (Hartford, CN), like many professional musicians, spends many hours of each day practicing and teaching trombone. However, for many years he suffered from a lung condition that sometimes made playing his instrument difficult.

“I coughed. I had a horrible deep barking cough-especially when I played trombone,” explains Bean in a recent National Public Radio interview. “I had a sore throat, lost 60 pounds at a time, had a low-grade fever. It was a huge hindrance.”

Doctors diagnosed him as asthmatic, but none of the treatments they tried seemed to help. After 15 years of suffering from this mysterious ailment, he went on vacation without his trombone and a funny thing happened-he felt better. That’s when he first began wondering if the instrument could somehow be causing his sickness.

When doctors from the University of Connecticut, where Bean teaches, took a culture from the inside of his horn they discovered it wasn’t his trombone that was making him sick, but it was the things living inside it. The culture revealed a mold called fusarium, as well as a type of bacteria called mycobacterium, which is related to tuberculosis.

These inhabitants of Bean’s trombone had been entering his lungs each time he played. His immune system reacted to the invasion, causing a severe inflammation of his lungs called hypersensitivity pneumonitis.

Though many players would not react to the molds and bacteria as strongly as Bean, for those with such sensitivity, it is no joke. And besides, for wind players, their lungs are their livelihood. Should they really be risking that type of pulmonary contamination?

Upon learning of Bean’s condition, University of Connecticut professor Mark Metersky, who works in the Medical School’s division of pulmonary care, set out to study just how common the problem was. “One hundred percent of the instruments studied had the same bacteria and 80% of the players admitted to having pulmonary dysfunction,” reports Bean.

Today, Bean has made it his mission to make other brass players aware of the dangers of not cleaning their horns. He admits to previously being lax about cleaning his. “You talk about cleaning out your instrument, and they laugh and make some funny remark about it,” he says. “I never cleaned out my trombone-maybe once every other year.”

Today, he realizes it is no laughing matter and he is diligent about cleaning his instrument. “I use a rod with a cloth and I use alcohol-rubbing alcohol or isopropyl alcohol-pour it down, and it cleans out the germs,” says Bean.

We now have a 2½ hour video on our website of  a presentation by Dr. Magda Havas called The Dangerous Truth About Wireless Technologies:
http://eha-ab.ca/electrical/video/dangerous_truth.html

More and more people report having adverse reactions to common substances in their daily environment. Products such as office cleaning solutions, perfumes, air fresheners, hairsprays or aftershave lotions can trigger a reaction ranging from mild to serious in some people. Avoidance of triggers is extremely difficult because of the widespread use of fragranced products. This can make it difficult for individuals with sensitivities to function in the workplace and other public environments.

Is it time for you to flush your toilet water and swear off wearing scents at work? It isn’t just that some people don’t like the smells of the perfumes, colognes, body sprays and grooming products used by co-workers. Chemicals in the fragrances can trigger reactions ranging from headaches to heart palpitations in people who are sensitive to them, making it difficult for them to work effectively. While there are no Canadian laws regulating the wearing of fragrances in the workplace, a recent U.S. court ruling has put the issue back in the limelight. And a growing number of workplaces are voluntarily going scent-free. Should your workplace be next?
