Dr. Samuel Jamieson specializes
in treating learning difficulties including ADD, ADHD, dyslexia,
developmental delays, autism and autistic spectrum disorders. As part of
this treatment, he checks for not properly integrated
primitive reflexes. With a sequence of correct adjustments, he can
facilitate their integration without needing additional neurological
Learning difficulty is a major problem.
It has been estimated that 15-20% of children in our society suffer some
degree of learning difficulty. Studies show that today 1 in 6 children in
the US have Autism, ADD, ADHD or dyslexia. California has the highest
population of Autistic Spectrum Disorders. We know that caring 24 by 7 for
your child is an impossible task. We all want to help our children in any
way possible so they can reach their full potential and enjoy life as fully
as possible. Unfortunately, few of us realize that the consequences of
learning difficulty can be far more disturbing.
learning difficulty are more prone to depression and anxiety. Some children
show social and behavioral issues such as obsessive compulsive disorders,
obsessions and phobias, even aggressions, tantrums and self-hurt behavior. Juvenile suicide is an increasing and
disturbing phenomenon. These children also more sensitive to auto-immune
issues, and battle with inflammations, gut problems and allergies.
many of us don’t always see the relationship between the learning
disabilities and behavioral issues and the physical and emotional condition
of the child.

Triangle of Health.
proportion of those suffering from learning difficulty can be, and have
been helped. But about 15% of students do not learn easily despite
excellent teaching, parenting and individual tutoring.
This is because
the basis for the complex skills that are required for learning and behavior is dependent on the structural, emotional and
biochemical systems of the body and how well they work together. Dr.
Jamieson calls it the triangle of
children are healthy both physically and intellectually when their
structural, biochemical, and emotional aspects are harmoniously balanced.
Each side of the triangle influences the other two sides.
interferences cause diminished brain, nerve and organ function impacting
learning and behavior.
The biochemical system and the gut is in many cases a
mirror of the neurological system. Inflammation in the gut often means
inflammation in the brain. The biochemical system is greatly impacted by
what your child eats and the toxins and allergens it is exposed to.
Many children have food sensitivities to gluten, casein,
sugar and/or corn causing severe inflammation in the brain. Eating
a healthy restricted diet and eliminating toxins and allergens will
greatly improve their learning and behavioral issues and strengthen
their immune system.
Emotions such as fear, anger, grief and many others can
negatively affect your child long after the original event that caused
them. When they fail to “let go” of these emotions they can start showing
self-sabotaging behaviors, destructive beliefs, phobias and many chronic
physical problems. Dr. Jamieson can unlock those emotions with Neuro-Emotional
Technique. Anxiety and phobias disappear causing the activity of the
brain to normalize and improving learning and behavior.
Learning and behavioral issues can only be treated when
looking at the body holistically. That’s why there is little use trying to force extra
teaching or behavior modification upon a system in which the basic
intrinsic modules for learning and behavior are not correctly functioning.
primitive reflexes are also a major problem that disrupts the structural,
emotional and biochemical bases of learning and behavior.
are needed for survival and development in the womb and in early months of
life. During this time, the higher centers of our central nervous system
are not fully developed. That’s why we are protected and assisted by
reflexes, controlled by lower centers of our brain. A reflex does not
involve thinking, it is an involuntary respon
