Dr. Levinson's Research in the Media

Dyslexia Includes 20 + Treatable Disorders [2:57 min]

Because dyslexia was and still is mistakenly considered only a reading disorder, all its many other coexisting non-reading (writing, spelling, math, memory, speech, concentration, etc.) symptoms are considered separate comorbid disorders having diverse causations. By treating their common cerebellar origin, it's possible to improve all of its 20+ symptoms/disorders.

Debunking Mistaken Dyslexia Theories [5:24 min]

For over a century, dyslexia was mistakenly thought to occur when the damaged reading processor within the thinking parietal brain failed to comprehend the clear signals received. Dr. Levinson's clinical research demonstrated the opposite to be true. All dyslexic symptoms occur when initially normal brains fail to adequately process and compensate for the scrambled signals received.

Improving Aspergers/Autism – ASD [5:21 min]

Based on Dr. Levinson's research, overall improvements occur in ASD by enhancing their cerebellar functioning and so decreasing their coexisting signal-scrambling impairment.

ADD vs ADHD: Similarities, Differences and Better Therapies [2:20 min]

According to Dr. Levinson, ADD arises when the frontal cortex can't process the scrambled signals received. And hyperactivity/impulsivity occurs when "dizzy" signals confuse the activity brain centers. The best results are obtained by enhancing both the cerebellum and the brain centers initially confused by the defective signals received and transmitted.

Understanding ADHD Therapies [1:33 min]

Utilizing his signal-scrambling theory of ADHD, Dr. Levinson was able to recognize that all helpful therapies decreased signal-scrambling and/or enhanced the brain's descrambling capability. And the same proved true for all helpful dyslexic therapies.

ADHD and Inner-Ear Mechanisms [2:37 min]

Dr. Levinson's clinical research recognized that a fine-tuning impairment within the cerebellum or inner-ear resulted in signal scrambling. Thus concentration and activity/impulsivity symptoms resulted when the frontal lobes and related normal brain structures failed to process the "dizzy" signals received and transmitted.

Inner-Ear Origins of Phobias [6:02 min]

By successfully treating and carefully listening to phobics, Dr. Levinson discovered that the vast majority had dysfunctioning inner-ear mechanisms shaping the quality of their symptoms. Thus imbalance often triggered fears of heights. And impaired motion processing underscored fears of driving, planes, elevators, etc.

True Insights Improve Self-Esteem in Dyslexia/ADHD [8:27 min]

Aside from rapid and effective treatment, the best way to improve the self-esteem of those devastated by dyslexia/ADHD is to simply describe the many mechanisms determining their symptoms. By contrast, they neither believe nor are reassured by truthful compliments.

Stimulant Rx of ADHD Decreases Risks [5:17 min]

Based on Dr. Levinson's long term clinical experience and recent research, the devastating risks, failures and disorders associated with non-ADHD treatment are way higher than properly monitored stimulant therapy.

Dyslexia and ADHD Impair Self-Esteem [2:11 min]

According to Levinson's research and patient responses, dyslexia and ADHD impair self-esteem — hence his book title, Smart But Feeling Dumb. In many ways, this is the most devastating symptom characterizing these disorders.

New Treatment Helps Autism (ASD), Brain Injury, Mental Retardation, Cerebral Palsy [2:40 min]

By recognizing and medically treating the cerebellar dysfunction found to coexist in many major processing disorders such as autism, brain injury, etc., Dr. Levinson was able to effect significant overall improvements in previously untreatable disorders.

According to Dr. Levinson, the rising incidence of ADHD is due mainly to better recognition and treatment of milder cases previously escaping proper detection.

Phobias, Dyslexia and ADHD: Common Inner- Ear Origins and Treatments [3:44 min]

By successfully treating dyslexia and ADHD with inner-ear-enhancing meds, Dr. Levinson discovered that coexisting phobias simultaneously improved. 90% of all phobics seeking help were then recognized to have inner-ear mechanisms which responded best to a specially designed combination of meds and Non-medical therapies.

Dyslexia and ADHD: Better Understanding and Treatment [3:53 min]

Because dyslexia and ADHD share a common cerebellar origin manifested by balance and coordination dysfunctioning, these overlapping disorders and their many symptoms all respond favorably to simple and safe inner-ear-enhancing meds. As a result, stimulants may not be needed or be required in very low doses.

Dyslexia and ADHD: One Two Sided Coin [1:12 min]

Both dyslexia and ADHD were discovered by Dr. Harold Levinson to share a common cerebellar-vestibular or inner-ear origin which responds rapidly and often dramatically to inner-ear and cognitive enhancing meds and related therapies.

Revolutionary treatment for dyslexia now in Britain [4:00 min]

Distributed by PR Newswire Europe

"A groundbreaking treatment for dyslexia is making waves in the UK and causing not a little controversy. American psychiatrist Dr. Harold Levinson claims remarkably successful results. Between 80 and 90 percent of dyslexics he treats respond well, some dramatically so. His treatment is simple — a cocktail of motion sickness pills plus vitamins and other dietary supplements. But is it a cure? Jane Markham asked Dr. Levinson how his diagnosis of dyslexia differs from traditional medical wisdom..." — from the PR Newswire Europe website
