My Boys are 12 today
So that said - brilliant insightful short video that describes the ADHD inability to act. “You can know stuff, but you won’t do stuff” - so helpful to have this described so clearly 🙏
This is so superb in so many ways - it sums up the conflicts of interest & general untrustworthiness of Big Pharma that’s had me avoid pharmaceuticals myself for 4 decades. I absolutely do not think I would be here today had I dabbled with the mainstream suggestions for all my extensive 3 syndrome deep mental health problems.
The contraindications for Bipolar & ADHD & the medications recommended for each would have been a disaster. I was regularly offered SSRI’s which i refused as I was instinctively terrified of them for good reason as they would have triggered a Bipolar High with likely hospitalisation *at best*.
I was so suicidally depressed that the risk of worsening, or the risk of worse rage would have been fatal, that’s how perilous my position felt. I’d read about suicides who had recently started or stopped SSRI’s & it was not worth the risk. As I say, for a person with Bipolar SSRI’s usually means psychosis & hospitalisation so….no. The fact that this stoic refusal is essentially why I went undiagnosed & unsupported for so long is absolutely criminal imho.
Love Russell - it’s so deeply heartening to see this level of exposure of corruption reach such a big audience - awesomeness 🤓😎

Isochronic Tones: The Beginner's Guide
Isochronic Tones are the newest kids on the block in the world of brain wave entrainment. They can help you to deeply meditate, relax, feel awesome and expand your consciousness - quickly
.
Binaural beats have been around for decades. Single toned isochronics are fresh off the street! I've been using them intensely for 4 months and the results are *very* promising. I'm experiencing stronger, faster and more enjoyable effects than with binaurals.
A year ago no one had heard of isochronic tones, and now everyone and their grandmother are calling them everything from the "strongest BWE technology ever" to (my favourite) "binaural beats on steroids".
This article will:
-introduce you to binaural beats' cooler cousin
-explain the differences between the two
-detail the benefits you will get from using isochronics
-help you make your mind up whether to try them out
-and point you in the right direction.
In case you're new here (welcome!), I'll do a 10 second roundup:
Isochronic tones are a form of brain wave entrainment. This means that you use isochronic tones as a way to entrain your brain waves (which means to have them all working in the same way, for example slowed down to the slow, low levels of alpha brain waves).
The benefits of this are varied – you can expect anything from a sense of deep relaxation and peace; to increased happiness and creativity; to vivid visualizations and *big* ideas.
They are lots of fun, totally rejuvenating and don't require much skill to use (i.e. lay down and put headphones in. If you can manage that, you're on your way.
Oh, if you're lucky (or practice) you'll also soon be reaching a state of hemispheric or brainwave synchronization. This is what Zen meditators struggle to achieve for years, and perhaps is best described as a sense of 'total connectedness with the universe'. It's pretty hard to describe, but it feels pretty awesome and kind of awe-inspiring at times.
(Read this article for *all* the juicy details on this "peak performance" state)
There has been lots of research and studies done which show that binaural beats and other forms of brain wave entrainment (BWE) increase the production of 'good' chemicals in the body, reduce the output of 'bad' chemicals, decrease anxiety, increase well-being and lots more. If you haven't had a look at this binaural beats research I'd highly recommend you check it out.
These are some of the main reasons that people like to use binaural beats and other forms of BWE. Now we'll look at what makes isochronics unique.

Isochronic Tones – How They Work, the Benefits and the Research
Isochronic tones are a fast and effective audio-based way to stimulate your brain. Among many of the benefits, they can help improve focus, relaxation, energy levels, sleep and more, without taking drugs or needing any special equipment.
What isochronic tones essentially do, is guide your dominant brainwave activity to a different frequency while you are listening to them, allowing you to influence and change your mental state and how you feel.
The effects can be felt within a few minutes and all you literally have to do is click play and listen.
You may have heard of binaural beats which are similar, but an older method of stimulating your brain. In this in-depth article you will discover:
(Some big successes as well actually, see below) Small personal success, I’ve got the paddle board on the van on soft bars on my own….. this means I can take the kayak on the van if I get help loading & unloading…. For some reason I thought the van roof was somehow concave or convex or wtv in my mind….. it’s not, it’s flat…..duh…. (It is curved inside though …. Lol) So pleased - essentially I can take both water vehicles out on same trip too, again with help loading…. So exciting!
Oh I dig this one soooooo much I can’t take it off…..
