Please help with SCIO (Quantum Energy) diagnosis and Miracle promised...
Thu, 10/19/2006 - 05:33We took my son (5), to a neuro therapyst who uses the SCIO machine. It uses bio energy to diagnose thousands of problems in the body. It can heal as well. The machine diagnosed my son with epilepsy due to chromosome 6 abnormalities. Precisely what the pediatric neurologist said (he has Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy, which research has shown is a genetic problem on chromosome nr 6!). It's amazing. The machine diagnosed every problem that any one of our family had (spastic colon, reflux, endometrioses, allergies), so I tend to trust it on the diagnoses. It's really amazing, it even tells you all the food and other allergies or sensitivities you may have. Also what shortages in vitamines or minerals. My problem is this: The doctor said he can help my son. Not cure him, since it's a genetic abnormality. But he can stop his seizures with 3 hour-long treatments (non-invasive - only energy waves sent through your body). It won't be permanent, but he should be seizure free for about a year every time. Then he just needs another shot of help from the machine, and so forth. Doesn't this sounds WAY TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE??? But, how can we NOT try it? Problem is, this doctor said he won't need his medicine anymore, so we can just as well take him off it! After months and months of suffering to get Nian onto the required dossage, this guy wants me to wean him and take a chance on his machine!!! And what do I tell his neurologist???? Who will need to put him back on the meds if this thing fails...!!! This guy said he studied in the USA, and worked with Nasa on the research and usuage of the machine. Now, I want to now if anyone else have been diagnosed with this machine, and what your opinions are? Please, please, help us with any information you may have. I think there maybe different versions of the machine, some is more limited than others. It seems so good. It treated my daughter's enzema, which she had for about a month now on her face. The first day, it started to dry up, second day it was half it's original size. Third day it was nearly gone!!! And that was only after 1 treatment! So it was visible change for the better. But to let them mess with the alignment of my son's brain energy, I'm SO scared! So please, if anyone has any knowledge of this machine, and why it's not in MAJOR usuage by Epileptologists, let me know. I know it's new, and they're starting to outroll it to the public, but still... Thank you, Essie (mom to Nian)

Only a few clinical applications presently exist for the management of drug-resistant epilepsy. Epilepsy surgery can be a life-changing procedure in the subset of millions of patients who are medically intractable. Recording of seizures and localization of the Seizure Onset Zone (SOZ) in the subgroup of "surgical" patients, who require intracranial-EEG (icEEG) evaluations, remain to date the best available surrogate marker of the epileptogenic tissue. icEEG presents certain risks and challenges making it a frontier that will benefit from optimization. Despite the presentation of several novel biomarkers for the localization of epileptic brain regions (HFOs-spikes vs. Spikes for instance), integration of most in practices is not at the prime time as it requires a degree of knowledge about signal and computation. The clinical care remains inspired by the original practices of recording the seizures and expert visual analysis of rhythms at onset. It is becoming increasingly evident, however, that there is more to infer from the large amount of EEG data sampled at rates in the order of less than 1 ms and collected over several days of invasive EEG recordings than commonly done in practice. This opens the door for interesting areas at the intersection of neuroscience, computation, engineering and clinical care. Brain-Computer interface (BCI) has the potential of enabling the processing of a large amount of data in a short period of time and providing insights that are not possible otherwise by human expert readers. Our practices suggest that implementation of BCI and Real-Time processing of EEG data is possible and suitable for most standard clinical applications, in fact, often the performance is comparable to a highly qualified human readers with the advantage of producing the results in real-time reliably and tirelessly. This is of utmost importance in specific environments such as in the operating room (OR) among other applications. In this review, we will present the readers with potential targets for BCI in caring for patients with surgical epilepsy.KEYWORDS: BCI; coherence analysis; connectivity index; epilepsy surgery; epileptogenicity index; high frequency brain stimulation; high frequency oscillations; single pulse electrical stimulation
