Hi Lonnie -
Rebecca's first group of sessions cost about $2000. We did get a 10% reduction in cost due to our connection with CWE. There are advertisements in the header of this forum.
It is my understanding that it does help with Epileptic and Non-epileptic seizures.
We did not do psychiatric treatment, though Rebecca has been seeing the same psychologist for four years. It has been invaluable to have that weekly session. It was suggested at one point that she have some psychiatric testing, but I refused it at the time, because she was on meds, and the Rebecca that I witnessed at that time was not the daughter that I know. Testing under those circumstances was ridiculous in my opinion. It has not been suggested again, since we have been making such wonderful strides with the nutritional approach.
Rebecca does not take any anti-convulsants. She does take a handful of supplements at this time, and her nutritionist wants this to continue for two years. However, once she is seizure free for two years, we will begin replacing the supplements with additional foods.
Neither did our insurance cover Biofeedback, but you can ask the neurologist for a prescription and at least use it for tax purposes.
I understand the financial burden, but the way I looked at it was we would give no thought to the cost of putting in a new engine into one of our cars, which would be similar in cost. We decided the risk was worth taking.
The distance for you is going to be a hardship. What we did one week, was do two sessions in one day. It was suggested that it is similar to a workout routine. If you do it frequently you will see better results. We were told that some people even stay in the town for a few days so that they can have more sessions without the driving.
Obviously everyone is unique, so the treatment will not always be the same. However, we began with 20 sessions. A home unit was then offered to us, which we did for about another six months.
I hope that information helps.
