I’ll preface by saying I’m not a doctor, nor do I have any knowledge of the sorcery present in the SC scripts, so take anything I say with a grain of salt. 
The brain is a very very complicated thing. There are a ton of things that impact how it functions. To list a few:
- Your neurochemistry, which is LARGELY dependent on the health of your gut microbiome as well as the balance of minerals and nutrients in your body
- Your neural structure, which is affected by things such as systemic inflammation as well as physical injuries
- Your neural electrical functioning, which is typically treated with neurofeedback
- Your thought patterns, which are definitely addressed with subliminals, and are also often addressed with more conventional methods including mindfulness training, meditation, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
Growing neural connections requires specific things, and if they aren’t present then your body will have a hard time making new connections. It requires certain minerals to have proper functioning, so those need to be present in the right amounts and ratios too. If there is a physical problem, such as inflammation, an infection, a chemical/toxin of some sort, then that also needs to be addressed, as they can all impact proper brain functioning.
Subs are fantastic, but you need to meet them halfway with the proper things. Listening to a healing sub without having the right environment for healing is like listening to Libertine, Wanted, etc but sitting at home waiting for someone to magically appear in front of you.
If your body needs something to heal (certain minerals or vitamins or nutrients, or addressing an inflammation issue that’s causing swelling in part of your brain), then by all means fix those things while listening to the sub.
I can’t see any way that working on addressing the physical/chemical/etc issues that may be present would be detrimental to listening to a healing sub… quite the opposite, if anything they would only help it work better & faster.
I’ve had migraines disappear within 30 minutes while listening to Paragon, and I love it. But I also take supplements to address the causes, as I understand them. And given that migraines used to result in me being stuck in bed with blinding pain for anywhere from 6 hours to a couple of days, I think my current strategy works pretty well.
Nootropics are another thing to look into… I’m partial to aniracetam and phenylpiracetam (must take with choline, I strongly advise supplementing choline for all sub users… makes recon headaches go away!) as well as CILTEP.
And lastly… Dan Hurley wrote a great book on improving fluid intelligence and working memory, and of course Jim Kwik’s book Limitless is a must-read if you want to supercharge your memory. All of which pair very well with healing subs.
Hope this helps!
