“Activating Your Brain’s Unique Catalytic Converter for Deep Cleansing and Regeneration”

New Studies on the Brain’s Deep Cleansing Power

You may have seen an ever-increasing number of blog posts and articles in the news lately about the importance of getting a good night’s sleep. Deep sleep, that is…

Maiken Nedergaard, M.D., D.M.Sc., co-director of the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) Center for Translational Neuromedicine says, “The restorative nature of sleep appears to be the result of the active clearance of the by-products of neural activity that accumulate during wakefulness.”

In other words, simply put, the brain burns energy and produces a corrosive by-product but has it’s own “catalytic converter” to clean up the waste left behind from the fuel burn. A simple, elegant design–when it works!

Health Challenges of Living in a Technologically Advanced Age
Some of the latest research shows why getting to those deeps stages of sleep, particularly the levels of “Delta” brainwave function, are so important for maintaining ideal physical and emotional health. Moreover, this research indicates why getting this deep level of sleep is also more challenging than ever before.

This is due to an ever-increasing exposure to electro-magnetic field radiation, cell and microwave tower field radiation, and other noise and light disruptions brought about by the many modern advancements in electronic and digital technology.

With the additional toxic chemical pollutants we are exposed to, especially living and commuting in larger metropolitan areas, along with consuming foods laced with chemicals, pesticides and genetically modified organisms, we now find our bodies working harder and harder to maintain ideal health and well-being–physically, mentally, and emotionally. All of these electro-chemical influences naturally interfere with our sleep patterns, as well…

Related Underlying Causes of Dementia and Alzheimer’s
New research has indicated that there is also a direct link between mental health issues such as dementia, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer’s, and the lack of deep sleep. Not just regarding how many hours one sleeps, but especially whether one is getting enough of that specific level of “Delta” brainwave function, which is generally only activated during deep stages of sleep.

(Incidentally, during a full 8 hours of sleep, only 25% or less of that time is spent in the deep delta stages–that is, if you can get an uninterrupted night of sleep!)
So why is this brainwave so important?

Your Brain’s Unique Catalytic Converter
When you burn fuel to power your car, there is a natural corrosive by-product created, hydrocarbons, including carbon monoxide. This is why your car has a system to not only reduce environmental pollution, but also to help to improve the functional efficiency of the system: This system is called a “catalytic converter.” Continue reading »

Awaken Your Powerful Healing Brainwave!

Children have it. Now adults can re-awaken it.

Scientific research has shown that the dominant brainwave functioning in children from infancy to about the age of 4-5 starts out in “delta.” It is the dominant wave function. But it begins to diminish during adolescence, as alpha, theta and particularly beta (the thinking-analytical brainwave) become more dominate. So over time, and as is the case for adults, delta is mostly observed in stage 3 and 4 of the sleep state and only periodically within a 7-8 hour sleep cycle.

Unfortunately, as adults age (starting on average around the age of 40-45), the brain begins to progressively lose the ability to produce delta brainwaves. This plays a part in the increased incidence of various illnesses and disease ranging from sleep disorders, anxiety, depression, and OCD to diabetes and insulin resistance, heart disease, Parkinson’s, fibromyalgia, various brain disorders, some stages of dementia and other forms of neuro-degenerative diseases.
