Dr. Serper Gives Hope


“Dr. L. Lazarus Serper has published a winner. Like Lazarus of the New Testament, she was entombed in her brain by a massive insult. After three long months she opened her eyes and believed she had the power to heal herself. And she did. This remarkable book outlines the journey the truly willful may take to get their brains back...and subsequently their lives.


"Brainstorming describes in detail the combination of exercises and prioritizing Ms. Serper practiced using her extensive knowledge of the brain's developmental process to retrain it...and take her life back. Not only did she take her brain back to kindergarten and work forward, she finished the Scientific Doctorate in Human Cognitive Functioning that was in progress when her brain suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm followed by a massive stroke with aphasia (inability to express herself) and right body weakness. She used what she knew of how the brain develops and restores itself to reprogram it with activities she had used in the classroom to assist students with mild to moderate brain dysfunction in re-gaining control by re-patterning the brain's dysfunction to that of function. Author, survivor, teacher and now doctor Serper explains and outlines the path to brain recovery as real and based upon the Darwinian Principle...that brains, thus their cells can grow with steadfast striving to survive.

“So take your brain to the brainstorming gymnasium and re-pattern information intake, storage, and recall. Who you were may be who you can become. Ms. Serper gives us hope, a scientifically proven plan, and a goal...taking our lives back. I found this book inspirational and it should be on the shelf of every resource library in every hospital in America.”
