Myomancy ADHD, Dyslexia and Autism

GSR, or to give it its full name Galvanic Skin Response, is a method of detecting the level of electrical conductivity in the skin. Its a technique used in lie detectors and biofeedback because there is a link between the skins ability to conduct electricity and the emotions a person is feeling.

Now Jason Alster is using it in his practice in Israel to help children with ADHD.

Many ADHD clients- upon producing a stable GSR after a biofeedback assisted relaxed concentration technique - will claim when asked-that this is the first time ever they felt what relaxation /concentration is. This may be compared to someone not having ever tasted a tasty food like an orange. You can’t describe it to them. However, once they taste it- they know what it feels like. So too, it turns out, with the sense of relaxation, focus in ADHD. When asked to compare this sensation with the sensation of an ADHD medication- the majority of ADHD people will say that the natural biofeedback induced sensation is better than medication- and medication does not “feel well” even though it does help them concentrate. This shows that medication like Ritalin has a different mode of action working to help ADHD than natural and behavioral methods.
