I had the honor of having Mr. Dick Gregory as a client of the BiomedRx Health Center
The BiomedRx Wellness Center
First, let me apologize for the confusing title. The original center was called the BiomedRx Health Center. In 2008 my son was diagnosed on the autism spectrum. After consulting with many so-called experts in the field of autism, and spending thousands of dollars on chelation, speech and occupational therapies, hyperbaric oxygen therapy and others, I found neurofeedback therapy to be very effective in relieving my son of stimming and other negative behaviors associated with the autism spectrum.
Because of my extensive career in biomedical engineering, specifically calibrating many types of electroencephalographic equipment, I was graciously allowed to study neurofeedback therapy at the EEG Institute, back when it was in Woodland Hills, California. I achieved all levels of basic and advanced neurofeedback therapy certifications, and purchased an electroencephalographic amplifier with the Cygnet software system. Thus, the BiomedRx Health Center was born.
Neurofeedback was the first therapy we offered at the BiomedRx Health Center. Neurofeedback, also known as EEG biofeedback, is an electronic method of restoring the brain to its natural balance. By placing the EEG amplifier electrodes on strategic locations on the scalp, we can gently train away neocortical dysregulation by rewarding and/or discouraging certain brainwave activity, whilst the client is watching a movie, slideshow, or moving graphic. We also offer video games for children.
Neocortical dysregulation can occur as a result of experiencing the intense emotions that often arise in daily life. Conflicts in relationships and other stressors can create kinks in the neocortex that make it difficult or nearly impossible for one to achieve an alpha, or happy and relaxed state. This often leads people to self-medicate using alcohol and/or drugs. Not all alcohol is as effective as beer and wine for achieving the alpha state. Nor are all drugs as effective as marijuana (cannabis) for the same purpose. But all drugs are potentially addictive, and actually cause a certain amount of neocortical dysregulation if abused.
Purpose
I opened the BiomedRx Health Center specifically to help my son overcome the autism spectrum. I am happy to have helped my son and many other children, veterans, athletes, first responders and other people overcome neurological conditions, and live a higher quality of life.

The goal is to get rid of the neocortical dysregulation altogether. BiomedRx Neurofeedback helps us to accomplish this using several modalities. Infra-low frequency, alpha-theta, and synchrony neurofeedback. Infra-low frequency is the most effective for beginning, as it is the most effective at reducing neocortical dysregulation when targeted properly. The reward frequency is in the infra-low range, which allows the client’s brain to reestablish its optimal level of neocortical arousal on its own. This is very effective at treating the autism spectrum, ADD/ADHD, anxiety, stress, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
After at least one block of infra-low neurofeedback, we would be ready to move into more advanced therapies, such as alpha-theta. As the name implies, alpha-theta neurofeedback uses two reward frequencies simultaneously. One frequency in the alpha frequency band, and the other in the theta frequency band. The alpha frequency band (around 9 to 12 hertz) is associated with being awake and relaxed. The theta frequency band (around 6 to 8 hertz) is associated with light sleep, or rapid eye movement sleep, where one usually dreams. Alpha-theta neurofeedback is effective for relieving the emotional energy associated with repressed memories. The alpha-theta state is the target state for hypnotherapy. Alpha-theta neurofeedback is an excellent adjunct for those who are in talk therapy or other healing programs, such as hypnotherapy.
Once we have cleared most of your neocortical dysregulation with infra-low neurofeedback, and relieved you of the emotional echoes from past trauma, we are ready to move forward into the most advanced therapy, which is synchrony neurofeedback. In synchrony we are using two channels on the EEG amplifier to train both hemispheres of the brain to work in synchrony with each other. This is not always the case, for most people. The result of synchrony neurofeedback, if performed properly, are increased focus and attention, better sleep, better emotional control, and a simply higher level of cognitive function. During synchrony, we have the entire spectrum of frequencies, from zero to fifty hertz, to choose to train. One must be educated and certified as a neurofeedback clinician to understand how to safely train the brain, where on the brain, and at what frequency and length of training session. But neurofeedback therapy can definitely change one’s life.
After neurofeedback we expanded into audio-visual brain entrainment using Chroma therapy, binaural beats, and cranial electrotherapy stimulation. I also became a certified practitioner of biomagnetic pair therapy, after studying with Dr. David Goiz, the son of the inventor of biomagnetic pair therapy, Dr. Isaac Goiz-Duran. Biomagnetic pair therapy is an effective method of depolarizing pH balance relationships between pockets of acidity and pockets of alkalinity in the body, thus assisting the body to rid itself of pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, and fungi. It is especially effective when used in conjunction with ionic foot detoxification.
I intend to re-open the BiomedRx Health Center under the name BiomedRx Wellness Center. As a health center we received too many erroneous emergency visits. We will be expanding our therapies to include hyperbaric oxygen therapy and pulsed electromagnetic field therapy, plus a few surprises.
