WOW!  Would have been easier to type what he DID NOT have than this list.

group 4 instructions say that if totals from Groups 2 and 3 are similar or close to equal, consider using the Instability Sessions B4 and B5.

So after the (10) A1 Sessions, we will begin alternating the B4 and B5 sessions as the books shows us to do.

I am a little concerned that I am doing this wrong.  If you do not choose the right session, it will not help.  Also, when do I know that the sessions we are doing now are no longer helpful?  This is my one complaint about the manual the machine came with.  The instructions are not in depth enough for me.

(Disclaimer: for the average person I am sure this manual is just fine.  But for me... I need more info, I digest that info and then I am ok with proceeding.  I have been googling this machine trying to find more studies, more research, more information so that I can understand how it works, why it works and how best to use this machine for optimum results.)

I am a natural researcher.  I want to know all the information.  It drove my Perinatologist crazy when I was pregnant with the twins. I knew every single risk.  I even read OB textbooks!

So I find the instructions on which session to use and when and for how long definitely NOT enough information for me.  Which I think will hamper progress for my children.  There are so many sessions on the ALERT machine that if I continue to follow the B4 and B5, how will I know to switch to another session?  Or do we stay with B4 and B5 for a year or so until those symptoms are gone?  WILL they ever be gone completely?  As an adult, I would know, but my child will not be able to tell me these things.
