Case Studies in Memory Improvement
Note: To preserve the privacy of patients, these case studies do not use their real or full names. These case studies describe how five patients improved in a clinical setting using the techniques in The Revolutionary Memory Course.
Keitha, a university student, was referred to our clinic after she was hit by a car while crossing the road. She received cognitive rehabilitation, but still had trouble thinking clearly and was not able to return to school. Her main compliant was the inability to retain what she read. She also became easily distracted. EEG tests showed that she suffered from a difficulty in creating a certain brain pattern called Beta, which is associated with the ability to sustain a state of attention. It was pretty clear that her inability to retain information was predominately due to her concentration impairment.
We started Keitha on cognitive exercises that focused on her concentration and as a result her retrospective memory, which relates to remembering recent information and things from the past, got significantly better. We then focused on enhancing her working and long term memory, which in turn improved her ability to retain what she read, process written material adequately and recall it on demand. After three months, Keitha returned to school.
Martin was a counselor who went through a period of burnout related to his profession. He took a year off and decided to work on improving his health. He started an exercise and meditation program and was referred to our clinic because of his forgetfulness, which everyone assumed was related to his stress. Martin was particularly disturbed by his mental handicap. He explained that he could cope with all the other symptoms he was experiencing, but did not know how to deal with his loss of memory capacity.
We immediately started Martin on regular mental practice, which included exercises and techniques similar to those in the Revolutionary Memory Course that restore memory capacity. Martin responded almost instantly to the treatment. He was discharged six weeks later, with about 95% restoration of his cognitive ability.
Janet was involved in a motor vehicle accident in which both the driver and her best friend were killed. She was the only survivor. Janet was in coma for three weeks. When referred to our clinic about four years after the accident, she was being treated by numerous professionals for her symptoms, mostly associated with her brain injury. At the time, she was told that she had reached her maximum level of recovery. Janet had an exceptionally positive attitude and said she would do whatever it took to get better. Her main goal was to be able to drive, something that appeared impossible because of her slow reaction time and inability to focus on more than one small piece of information at a time.
After a few months of intensive cognitive retraining in our clinic, Janet developed such a sharp memory that everyone around her was astounded. She was able to read a book and hear what people were saying and later recall that information in detail. She resumed playing the piano, went back to school and recently started taking driving lessons, to the amazement of everyone who knew her.
Arnie and Jen were a couple aged 72 and 69, respectively. They sustained mild injuries in a car accident and complained that their memory was adversely affected as a result of the accident. They especially had problems with what we call prospective memory, which relates to things you need to remember to do in the near future. During the initial consultation, they expressed frustration at their own doctor’s dismissal of their complaints, stating that their age was responsible for their memory decline, rather than the accident. They refused to accept it.
Arnie and Jen learned a few memory enhancement techniques and reported significant improvement within four weeks. They explained that they turned the mental exercises they were taught into a hobby and practiced them every chance they had, looking at it more as entertainment than an exercise or therapy. Both Arnie and Jen insisted that their memory improved to the level they used to enjoy when they were in their thirties
Note: These case studies represent just a small cross-section of individuals from all walks of life who have received treatment for their memory problems using the techniques in The Revolutionary Memory Course. Some responded very quickly, while for others the process of improvement was slower. Some completely regained the memory capacity they used to enjoy prior to a certain time in their life (accident, stroke, age-related decline and so on), though others regained only part. Without exception, every patient improved in some way.
The exercises, techniques and mental tools included in The Revolutionary Memory Course have been proven to work and produce positive results. As with anything else in life, mastery requires consistent practice. With an investment of as little as 20 minutes a day, three to five times a week, you too can improve your memory and concentration in six weeks or less. With further practice, you can achieve a level that amazes others and yourself.
