Background: Since 1760 first description up to date varieties of neuropathological mechanisms for Charles Bonnet syndrome were proposed and ineffective treatment methods still exist worsening patients' daily quality of life.
Objectives: To describe real practical experience with electrical bioimpedance across a cluster of migraine paroxysmal headache attacks due to cerebral edema resembling such in Charles Bonnet syndrome and using macro neurophysiological biophysical psychotherapy safety and efficacy to treat both disorders.
Methods: Author's personal practice with Charles Bonnet syndrome rely on 3 geriatric patients of above 80 years of age, three women who were Holocaust Survivors. And an Internet search for research articles disclosing the neuropathophysiological determinants contributing and treatment approaches for the given syndrome.
Results: All listed references described or identified varieties of local brain matter impairments accountable for neuropathophysiological factors of Charles Bonnet Syndrome. Ineffective pharmacological treatment characterized these cases. Rest knowledge provided an extra insight on their main visual hallucinatory dynamic or static or mixed problem came from scientific articles on the essences and manifestation of the given morbidity. My three patients favorably react to the macro neurophysiological biophysical psychotherapy and had insight on family worries like those identified across other Holocaust survivors.
Discussion: Charles Bonnet syndrome, migraine paroxysmal headaches, epileptic auras, multiple sclerosis, lung tumor and PTSD terror nightmares, have a common neuropathophysiological mechanism alternating from relapse and remission and vice versa. The ocular neuronal webs connectivity must have similar changes during chronical distress like other morbid entities. The author observed and described for epilepsy local brain electrical bioimpedance drop in affected areas favorably responding to brain electrical bioimpedance units non-invasively induced to the head surface in migraineurs patients. Macro neurophysiological biophysical psychotherapy alone show beneficial effects in neuropsychiatric subjects.
Conclusion: Both new methods must be considered for research and objective measurement of intensity and duration of Charles Bonnet syndrome. A biophysical analyzer must be able to provide treatment safe non-invasive electrical currents to be diagnostically identifying the treatment effect. Complementary, macro neurophysiological biophysical psychotherapy must enable to train caregivers and patients having Charles Bonnet syndrome to possess therapeutic tooling strategies and techniques for sustaining remission.
Despite the disease described two hundred years ago, the true pathogenesis is not identified, and treatment is still not practical in practice.1,2 Clinical expression has been well described3,4 and the discriminatory insight of Charles Bonnet syndrome, which has partial or complete self-awareness of the nature of their hallucinations, is still unknown.5,6 There have been several reviews on the syndrome,7,8 and there is no need to maintain recurrent publication on neuro-pathogenic neuroscience.9‒16 Therefore, the main purpose of this article is to put in practice the new neuro-pathophysiological biophysical model that already offers a treatment approach with macro neurophysiological biophysical neuro-psychotherapy which relies on favorable placebo effects at the base of many strategies, tools, techniques and self-motivating skills to promote benefits in treating such patients. Another objective method17 proposes to complete the treatment of Charles Bonnet syndrome with electrophysiological bio-impedance units, which were induced non-intrusively and safely to patients head treated to track electrical impedance in the brain to reach unimaginable levels of objective remission.
The main cause of neuro-pathophysiology in Charles Bonne syndrome must be in the details presented to patients to provide them with sound tools to neutralize the pathological process. So, how and why did such people experience persistent stressors and get sensitivity to normal stress? Practice shows that such individuals have fallen into the preclinical category of predisposed subjects or acquired genetic mutations maintaining their hypersensitivity to various constant stress. Thus, these basic macro neurophysiological biophysical mechanisms under constant exposure to stress have developed an automatic regulation of abnormal neuronal loop operation (ANLO).
All articles presented by the description of the pathophysiology of Charles Bonnet syndrome did not explain in detail how and why visual hallucinations come out and how and why the syndrome is a transient homeostatic deregulated (THD) recurrence that can be treated positively with the macro neurophysiological biophysical neuro-psychotherapy. The latter in relatively short periods of months replaces THD with remission of transient homeostatic resynchronization (THR) to be trained on how to support it in the long term.
ANLO is an external feed by macro physical stressors to interfere with external optical biosensors of the drawbacks of cons and rods of the retina. They adversely affect not only the pitfalls but the metabolism and the tiny vascular system of the retina. The drawbacks of cons and rods translate photons that come with small waves of macro data units reflected from objects, subjects and life event scenarios (LES). Here after the translation they get a physical-like structure as driving on attachment ionic flow optical information units through a unique line of ion channels using three sensory neuron chain into the visual center for identifying, analyzing and synthesizing. Each macro-parallel entity has been delivered through multiple lines to be in parallel functioning from disadvantages of cons and rods to run simultaneously using several lines of ion channels that we call neuronal electrical pathways (NEP's) into the center of the visual working cortical center. By analogy, individual lines of channels ions can be called a micro-wiring system of vision. Under healthy homeostatic conditions these kinds of parallel wirings process macro images of objects, biological subjects and LES. Stress, on the other hand, produces physical disturbances of size, volume, and configuration in a large number of ionic channels that cause an obstruction as the threshold level increases in electrical bio-impedance to ionic current waves in blocked NEP's lines. This immediately affects adjacent NEPs that drop the electrical bio-impedance level, thus ionic flow continues through non-specific NEP's deviations until reaching the indirect working memory centers with a final image deflection, thereby inflating data storage in such repositories. Therefore, one must always remember that in healthy situations the transmitted visual images at storage become inert (completely inhibiting), but under abnormal conditions such storages may be open and the information units automatically leap out into the working visual center. Such leaks from the storage memory repositories may be from previous recordings and display 'real external images' that feed the visual hallucinations. Hence, visual hallucinations become the product of automatic leakage of real visual information from the past stored in a storage warehouse and is now open. They may have different strengths in memory storage, and they compete for patients' attention to the inner imagination of hallucinations that torture subjects with the Charles Bonnet syndrome. At this stage of the syndrome it is important to also explain the macro neuro-pathophysiological input kinetics inputs during such morbidity.
In normal conditions, BOR works with 4 quantitative steps at night sleep and 4 awake stages during the day at rest, with minimum, moderate and maximum effort. Keep in mind that the body acts according to the laws of physics like any technological devices built on speeds in a unit of time. The body under metabolic energy also accelerates or monitors its activity according to the effort required and determined by the environment or individual. If the thing happens during wakefulness at the comfortable stage, the individual will find restlessness with extreme reactions, because a person who has lost control over 'internal brakes'. At nighttime during awakening at a maximal BOR speed a subject will experience a panic attack. These basic bio-physical rules are of great practical importance. When such biophysical rules are impaired due to deregulated neuro-pathophysiological mechanisms they are continually added automatically associated with higher speed or more observable levels than the alert state. Such patients borrow the maximum or minimum BOR rate related to the speed of environmental requirements or by personal decision. In the case of a maximum rate, the patient responds indiscriminately to normal pressures. The maximal rate blocks voluntary regulation and the patient is found on the BOR auto responder while looking like a 'no brakes' operation and when the BOR automatically lower at the daytime stage feels like a "powerless" person suffering from tiredness or exhaustion. Knowledge of the biophysical neurophysiological kinetics of daily functioning of BOR is extremely important as well as the pathological nightly BOR stages in Charles Bonnet syndrome cases that are in the condition of transient homeostatic deregulated (THD) recurrence with many symptoms that are expressed. So how can a neuro-psychotherapist to light a spark of hope? By presenting his or her facts to illustrate that the destructive syndrome of Charles Bonnet is fleeting. And this means that the worsening situation can be replaced by the innovative method with transient homeostatic synchronization (THR) that must be sustained during a long-term. So what are the most critical steps to take care of in the first place? Ask the patient what kind of quality of life he wants to achieve. This enables, among other things, to reveal real obstacles to the desire for a positive daily quality of life, at the level of expectations. So how to bring the patient closer to reaching such a personal anticipation from his first meeting? By building a stimulating approach that will attract his will through the following neuro-psychotherapy steps:
Is it possible to treat and prevent Charles Bonnet syndrome? From this point of view, patients should learn from the neuropsychiatrist and clinical neuropsychologist that ANLO automatically steers the THD state, and therefore they have to learn to control their self-dependence. This fact enables us to understand that a THR mode of remission releases the Will by a biophysical neurophysiological mechanism that is the backbone of the maintenance of vitality. Under these assumptions operates an innovative macro neurophysiological biophysical neuro-psychotherapy method. Hence, it is not just a re-educative scientific practice, but by training how to replace THD symptoms with signs of transient homeostatic resynchronizing (THR) remission in a relatively short period of time per months and maintain it voluntarily controlled by the following points:
The innovative neuro-psychotherapeutic method declares the new way in understanding and treating the neuro-psychosomatic diseases that also include somatoform ones, which actively inhibit the automatic abnormal neuronal loop operation (ANLO) by gradually suppressing its operational condition called transient homeostatic deregulated (THD) relapse. The given method recommends simultaneously to voluntarily stimulate the body operational ranges (BOR) guiding its progress to achieve a stable transient homeostatic resynchronizing (THR) condition of remission in order to create a healthy new neuronal loop for its sustenance. During many years the author tried to understand how to turn off the ANLO that automatically regulated the macro biophysical pathophysiological mechanisms and at the same time gradually ignite a healthy neuronal loop by actively using protecting means of voluntary control over maintenance over long-lasting terms. The Macro biophysical physiological neuro-psychotherapy is the best practical system of tools and means soundly heralding fundamental hallmarks how and in which way a person unintentionally was exposed to physical stress and developed pathophysiological distress due to her or his inner inborn or acquired abnormal mutated genes. As a result, they develop current dynamics in which one gets into transient homeostatic deregulated (THD) relapses. These conditions have been mistakenly named as 'somatoform and psychosomatic disorders' and treated as a 'non-physical disorder.' Such a faulty approach entirely disarmed neurologists, psychiatrists and psychologists from a real medical (neuropsychological) treatment without drugs. However, the old psychotherapy motivated psychologists and psychotherapists to persistently staying stronger in realizing cognitive, behavior and positive 'here and now' dynamics rather than psychiatrists with drug biochemistry approach. The macro biophysical physiological neuro-psychotherapy offers a straightforward accurate neuropsychological (medical) system that will enrich conventional psychotherapists with neurologically rational meaningful actions and a full set of strategies, tools, techniques and skills used in real non-drug neuro-psychotherapy to replace THD with a transient homeostatic resynchronizing (THR) remission that is based on achieving body tranquility that rewards one with positive emotion and a cognitive sense of well-being.
