Abstract
After recording and analyzing the symptomatic characteristics and favorable CVS-triggered med responses of over 35,000 CVS dysfunctioning Kathy-like dyslexics, I arrived at a detailed outline of the functions and symptoms characterizing the dyslexia syndrome. As a result, this amazing outline now serves as (1) the best holistic scientifically derived 4-D portrait of the CVS/dyslexia syndrome available today and (2) the best and only comprehensive screening test for those suspected of manifesting this complex CVS syndrome.

Notes
- 1.
Recall how Kathy used the test’s outline and symptoms to illuminate her own CVS/dyslexia syndrome and how some of Kathy’s symptoms were then used to further update the Self-Diagnostic Test—to be shortly discussed. This reciprocity was, and is, used for all patients—resulting in the best diagnostic questionnaire possible.

Perhaps this insight will be as interesting to you as it was important to a very young child with ASD whom I treated. Shortly after birth, he continued to have repeated multiple daily bouts of vomiting—defying all remedial efforts, although diagnosed as cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS). Amazingly, he rapidly responded to a simple inner-ear enhancer. And although referred to as CVS (cyclic vomiting syndrome), no one to date has recognized its CVS (cerebellar-vestibular system) origin!
I similarly helped a middle-aged woman with dyslexia who experienced chronic nausea and regurgitation (a likely variant of CVS) which eroded her front teeth. Despite extensive GI testing, nothing specific was found. Additional case material is needed before a CVS dysfunction is deemed responsible for all such cases, or just a subsection.

For those who may not know, I’ve had two patients with SAD who become depressed in Spring/Summer. And the literature suggests that 20 percent do.

By alleviating primary CVS determinants with the CVS enhancers, there may also result secondary improvements in stress and so also in non-CVS-based symptoms. Thus, symptomatic improvements alone do not justify the conviction that there preexisted a primary or major CVS origin—unless also confirmed by neuroanalysis and neurological testing.
