The Answers & Hope Charity aims to raise funds for research into neurological conditions, especially research which relates to neuroplasticity therapies.
It is the nominated charity of Neuro Frontiers, and we seek to fundraise for its projects.
Current project: The Exchange Breathing Method
The current project of the charity is to raise funds for a first aid method for stopping seizures, called the Exchange Breathing Method. It is a drug-free and extremely easy to administer seizure rescue method; and hundreds of families now use it as a way to halt seizures occurring in their loved ones.
To support the clinical research necessary for the Exchange Breathing Method, the Answers & Hope charity currently has a fundraising target of $200,000. The aims of the research are:
- To understand the mechanisms behind why the Exchange Breathing Method works
- To provide evidence so that the Exchange Breathing Method might become the worldwide first option as a seizure first aid method
More about Answers & Hope
The Trustees of Answers & Hope are Gemma Herbertson, Founder of Neuro Frontiers and neuroplasticity therapies specialist; Birinder Kang, who has a background in law; and Dr Graeme Clark, a senior scientist. All three Trustees are parents of children with special needs. Between them, they have a wide range of experiences, skills and training relating to neuroplasticity therapies; and all of their children have taken part in treatment and rehabilitation regimes which have included these life-changing therapies.
With regards to the current funding project on the Exchange Breathing Method, all of the Trustees have children who have had or still have seizures. This means they know how heartbreaking, adrenaline-fuelled and absolutely exhausting a life with seizures can be; and how important it is to research and promote a method to bring relief from this.
