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 response. For example an external
stimulus such as a touch, noise, heat or an internal stimulus like hunger
triggers an automatic, involuntary reaction if the relevant reflex is
active. As higher brain centers begin to mature enough for conscious
control of activity, the involuntary, uncontrollable reflex responses are a
nuisance. The reflexes anatomically and neurologically stay for the
remainder of our life, but, if all is well, they are integrated into the
higher control center of our brain.
Retained Primitive Reflexes can cause serious conditions.
Primitive reflexes ideally begin to function in a particular order and are
integrated in a specific sequence. If they are retained out of sequence,
they disturb the development and integration of subsequent reflexes. If
they are retained beyond their normal age of integration they can disturb
some or all of the functions of higher brain centers, which includes
behavior, learning, the integration of gross or fine movements and more.
reflexes are automatic, stimulus-elicited without involvement of our higher
decision making processes. Your child has little or no control over their
elicitation. Some examples of primitive reflexes that are often retained
and how they can affect our children are:
Reflex: Parasympathetic ANS
issues such as anxiety, panic attacks, SIDS
Moro Reflex: Sympathetic ANS issues such as
aggression, ADHD, asthma, immune system disorders
Palmar Reflex: Poor verbal and written expression, fine
motor skills, posture
Tonic Neck Reflex: Learning
difficulties, misjudging distances, shoulder injuries
Rooting Reflex: Hormonal dysfunctions in the HPA axis,
Tonic Labyrinthine Reflexes: Motion sickness, LD, Balance and visual
Spinal Galant Reflex: Hyperactivity, Bedwetting, Scoliosis, Gait abnormalities

Dr. Jamieson can identify which
Primitive Reflexes have not been fully integrated and make the correct
structural adjustments to facilitate this integration. He can assist the
