Parkinson’s disease

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder that occurs when dopamine-producing neurons in the brain’s substantia nigra begin to malfunction and then die [1][7]. The condition develops gradually, with symptoms appearing when approximately 50% of nerve cells in the substantia nigra have been lost[7].

A distinction should be made between Parkinson’s disease and Parkinson’s syndrome. Parkinson’s syndrome has the same symptoms as the disease but has other causes, such as head injury, medications, cardiovascular disease, toxic exposures, infections, etc.

Our focus(in coordination with what you or your loved one may be doing with a neurologist) is on:
a. identifying the root causes of the symptoms and correcting them.
b. using natural methods (e.g., Vitamin B1 used in a specific manner), and HYLANE technology, (see below)

Using these approaches, we have been able to meaningfully improve symptoms (e.g., reducing or eliminating the tremor, movement, and/or mood; reducing anxiety; and improving speech flow and voice) in more than 85% of our patients.

Primary Symptoms

The hallmark signs of Parkinson’s include:
– Tremors, often starting in one hand
– Muscle stiffness and rigidity
– Slowness of movement (bradykinesia)
– Postural changes and balance problems[1][3]
Non-motor symptoms can include sleep disorders, mood changes, cognitive challenges, decreased sense of smell, and digestive issues[3][5].

Understanding the Multiple Causes of Parkinson’s

Parkinson’s development involves various factors:

Genetic predisposition, though it is rare for direct inheritance [7]
Environmental factors including pesticides and industrial pollution[5][7]
Head trauma
Medications (drug-induced parkinsonism)
Cerebrovascular disease[7]

Our Successful Treatment Approach

We utilize three powerful therapeutic modalities:

Transcranial Photobiomodulation (PBM) guided by Quantitative Electroencephalogram [qEEG]. It is painless, non-invasive, and simple. This non-invasive light therapy targets specific brain areas, showing significant benefits in reducing movement disorders and increasing dopaminergic neuronal activity[2][4].
Neurofeedback: Helps us retrain brain networks to improve function
Hyperbaric Oxygen: Enhances cellular repair and regeneration.

Treatment Success

Since 2017, our HYLANE protocol (Hyperbaric oxygen, qEEG guided Laser, and Neurofeedback) has demonstrated remarkable results in treating various neurological conditions, including (but not limited to):

Parkinson’s
Early dementia
Aphasia
Facial blindness
Visual problems
Traumatic brain injury
Treatment-resistant depression, which in 30-40% of people is an early indicator ofbneurodegeneration.

Note: According to published research data, approximately 70% of patients respond positively to active PBM treatment, showing significant improvements in motor function scores[8].
