The famous podcast, "The Broken Brain," promoted by Dr. Mark Hyman, featured utilizing MeRT for treatment of PTSD, Concussions and Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI). If you or someone you know has experienced any of these conditions it is certainly worth listening to this.   Dr. Erik Won, from our Brain Treatment Center in California, speaks about utilization of this technology to treat members of the military who have had traumatic brain injuries, concussions or who have experienced PTSD as a result of their experiences, with many incredible successes.  With other repercussions that can occur, for both military and veterans, this is incredibly important. For example, suicide is at twice the rate for veterans, with approximately 17 veteran deaths per day. In a high stress environment, such … [Read more...] about MeRT Featured on Dr. Mark Hyman Podcast

On November 4th, Dr. Miller and MeRTSM [Magnetic e-Resonance Treatment] were featured on The Doctors TV Show as a new treatment for Autism. You can watch this section of the episode below.  While the neuromodulation equipment used in the MeRTSM process has been cleared by the FDA in the treatment of depression that has been resistant to medications, it may also be used off label for other disorders in the practice of medicine. These include Traumatic Brain Injury and other brain trauma, PTSD, ADHD, Learning Disorders, Autism, Stroke, Dementia, Parkinsons, OCD, Hyper-anxiety and other brain disorders. With so many incredible successes being seen, not just for Autism, but also in the treatment of an array of conditions involving the brain, we are thrilled to see this getting the attention … [Read more...] about MeRT featured on “The Doctors” TV Show

A recent article on Very WellMind.com reported on a University of Michigan study which found that men who were more physiologically reactive to stress (as measured by high blood pressure) were 72% more likely to suffer a stroke.  A recent study of 6553 Japanese male and female workers examined job stress levels and found that men (though not women) in jobs that involved high demands and lower levels of personal control (in other words, more stressful jobs) were at greater stroke risk, even after controlling for variables like age, educational attainment, occupation, smoking status, alcohol consumption, physical activity, and study area. One study measured levels of adaptation to stress—how well participants managed stress, and the associated risk. They found that those who had … [Read more...] about Working Yourself into a Stroke

A recent study done in April 2014, published in the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, had some very exciting results and conclusions.  Autism represents a multi-factorial highly prevalent disorder of the developing human neocortex with no clear treatments. Trans-magnetic stimulation with customized frequency has been safe in the treatment of certain frontal lobe behavioral disorders. We hypothesize behavioral improvements in autism behaviors via TMS with customized frequency modulation. 44 patients underwent TMS with customized frequency modulation. Serial EEGs were used to modify frequency delivered using resting alpha frequency combined with resting heart rate. Each child had a verified diagnosis of autism documented by pediatrician and/or psychiatrist as per the DSM IV … [Read more...] about Autism Treatment Study
