The good Doctor Melillo has decided that a whole host of behavioral and learning difficulties are due to an imbalance between the left and the right sides of the brain. He says that by following his simple exercises (spinning on office chair, listening to specially composed music etc) and eating a better diet these can be all but eradicated. He might be right I don't know but his reluctance to provide any evidence to back up his claims makes me suspect there isn't too much behind his ideas. Time and time again studies are said to have proven this and that but without any outlines of the study or even any names of researchers so you have no hope if tracking it down if you are interested. This is not helped by the writing which can make this blog look impressive! And it contradicts itself on many occasions.
Basically this book might work but the book itself is terrible. Dr M's heart might be in the right place since you could pay thousands of dollars to get on his program instead of reading this book but I would not be able to recommend the brain balance program to anybody on the strength of this book.
3/10
