    Dr. Keith Black has revealed that he believes he had an out of body experience at one time. I think it's courageous of him to reveal something so personal and spiritual. I would like to hear more about it - I hope you will ask him about it.

    I'm curious about what type of therapy you suggest to people who may have lost some sort of motor function, language function, etc, as a result of a brain tumor. Are you familiar with more prevention based methods such as Alexander Technique and Feldenkreis Method?

    I have cervical dystonia. I had DBS surgery

    last year. In March ct- scan showed the electrodes are off target due to a shifting of

    the brain. Is this possible?
