Questions and Answers


Who is Crossinology
® Brain Integration
Technique (BIT) for?
Children and adults with learning difficulties will often display the following
characteristics, among others:

  •  Difficulty concentrating
  •  No sense of time
  •  Poor reading comprehension (despite being a fast or fluent reader)
  •  Attention and focus cannot be held for long
  •  Difficulty spelling (putting letters together until it 'sounds' like the word)
  •  Difficulty with mathematics (concepts as well as times tables)
  •  Tendency to be impulsive
  •  Not understanding consequences or relation between cause and effect
  •  Difficulty budgeting time (thus projects are often left incomplete)



What is BIT for?
This treatment helps all kinds of learning difficulties such as attention deficit
disorder (ADD) both with and without hyperactivity, sensory integration,
dyslexia, poor coordination, closed head traumas and brain injuries, autism and
nervous breakdowns. It enhances learning abilities and improves reading,
comprehension, spelling and coordination for children as well as for adults.



What is Brain Integration Technique (BIT)?
BIT is a cutting-edge technique based on principles of Applied Physiology that
assesses and corrects learning difficulties in children and adults. BIT
specifically relieves stress as it affects aptitude, resilience and performance.

BIT is completely non-invasive, and is suitable for people of all ages. In fact,
most of our clients report that BIT is a very soothing and relaxing experience!

BIT has been recommended by neurologists, psychologists and other health
professionals because it consistently produces improvements measurable by
standard psychological and neurological tests.



What does BIT do?
The human brain performs extremely complicated electro-magnetic functions
and, like any other organ, shows symptoms of stress. Under stress, the brain’s
blood supply is redirected for ‘fight’ or ‘flight’ in the body, and the logic center
or creative center simply shuts down. With the shutdown, the synchronization
of brain function is lost and we just cannot ‘think’ clearly. Then we blame
ourselves for not trying harder, or worse, not being intelligent enough, when
the true culprit is stress. All too often we learn to ‘switch off’ when we could
be welcoming new experiences.

The BIT program can help children and adults to repattern brain activity
around such difficulties and use more of their potential.



How long does the treatment take?
The basic correction program takes approximately eight to twelve hours, an
estimate based on the median time for treatment. The length of each person’s
program varies because of individual needs. Some people with only one or two
areas of deficit may take just six hours to complete the whole program,
whereas others with many areas of deficit need more time.



What happens during the treatment?
The first session of treatment includes an initial assessment that serves as a
benchmark against which to evaluate future change. During this session, we
assess the electro-magnetic activity in the brain using muscle monitoring. This
technique reveals the specific brain areas that need the most attention. At the
end of the assessment we can tell the client the probable length of treatment
required in his/her individual case. This session takes one hour.

Subsequent sessions involve correcting the specific brain areas that showed in
the assessment. The correction technique involves very light touch on specific
points to re-establish electro-magnetic integrity within the brain. Thus brain
functioning is improved, specifically in learning ability, creativity, and physical
co-ordination. This is done by pinpointing stress in the brain that affects
learning, and relieving these individual stress patterns.

The client may also come in for a 6-8 week post-integration follow-up. This
session usually lasts an hour.



Is BIT permanent?
The only situation that would require a person to be fully re-integrated would
be if he sustained an injury to the head. Other than that, once a person has
been integrated, they will not need to be integrated again. Sometimes a client
will feel like her brain function has gone 'off-line' again. In this situation,
there has usually been an emotional trauma that caused enough stress to
block the brain function. We call this 'temporary dis-integration." To remedy
this, the BIT practitioner need only to address the emotions surrounding the
trauma. The brain function can then come back 'on-line.'



What kind of results should I expect with BIT?
We consistently improve learning ability of the individuals we treat. They are
able to read with high comprehension, learn and retain spelling words,
understand mathematical concepts, become physically coordinated and
modulate their emotional responses. Often, medications are not needed after
treatment in the majority of cases. However, while we give our clients the
ability to learn, the amount of improvement is still dependent on them
participating in school. If there is organic brain damage, there is still
improvement but it will be limited depending on the location of the damage.
However, even those that were suspected to have damage (i.e. Autistic
tendencies) often improve significantly enough that the suspected damage is
no longer evident.

In a nutshell, we enable the brain to learn within any limitations posed by
organic brain damage. However, we do not make the brain learn. That takes
studying and perseverance on the part of the client!



How quickly will I see results?
Every individual is different. Some people feel different during the treatment,
and some do not feel anything until after the integration is entirely complete.
The time frame can range from a few days to a few months. We enable the
brain to learn. We cannot make the person learn. Therefore, external
variables like family and school dynamics can affect when and how the
integration takes hold. It is often the people around the integrated person who
notice the changes first!



Where can I get more information about BIT?
Susan published a book, Breaking the Learning Barrier: Eradicating ADD,
ADHD and Dyslexia, which describes the treatment, her research, and includes
many testimonials. The book is available at our office or order online.

“It is easy for me to
relax and have
confidence knowing
that it is possible for
me to learn, retain and
remember knowledge.  
Most of my life I had
the belief that I had a
poor memory and thus
could not learn well.  I
still have to review and
study, but now I know I
can choose to
remember what is
important to me.  My
brain works well and I
have an excellent
memory.  I am a much
better listener now.  It
is much easier for me to
read material and stay
focused.
I now look forward to
developing and
exploring my full
potential.  Life is fun!”
J. Atkinson   


“Prior to your Brain
Integration Therapy
when my son did not
take his medication he
was very oppositional
and could be down
right mean.  Now I
have a different child.
God sent me to you and
I do believe that you
will be rewarded and
blessed in your life.  
The work you are doing
is AMAZING.  I am
looking forward to
having the BIT done to
me when you return in
September.  
I will keep in touch
with his progress.”
Ginger McCoy


“My confidence is at
new levels; I feel at
ease speaking up and
dealing with difficult
situations and people. I
also notice that I'm not
so emotional and that I
find it easier and tend
to be on time.  Allergies
seem to be much better,
too.  In general, a huge
improvement in a
multitude of areas!  ;))  
Thank you a million
times, I'm so grateful!”
Gloria


“In the past if someone
attempted to give me
directions I would not
even hear them because
I knew there was no
way I would remember
all of that information
at once.  Now I relax,
hear, visualize and
retain the directions
easily.  
Judy


“In my first 40 years of
life reading was boring.
Thanks to you I want
to read and enjoy
reading. I find myself
buying 2 or 3 books at
a time because I know I
can read and retain the
information. For a guy
who never bought
books that is very
unusual. I didn't finish
college because of my
very low reading
comprehension. This
one improvement has
made the biggest
change. Not just the
ability, but confidence
has spread though my
whole life. There were
many other changes
you helped me with like
spelling, not being able
to sit still, and many
more.”
