Treating and preventive neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimers, other forms of dementia, Parkinsons, traumatic brain injury, ADHD and other conditions is a highly evolving research topic. At our clinic we utilize the newly emerging functional and integrative medicine based approaches that are being researched at very prestitious medical centers and showing remarkable results. For example, the functional medicine approach we utilize for Alzheimers disease has been shown by preliminary evidence to reverse symptoms, such memory loss and functional capacity, in 90% of compliers with early to mild cases of the condition. It has even been show to reverse corticol brain atropy and other signs of dementia in certain people.This approach uses blood tests, nutrition, nutritional supplement and other lifestyle and functional medicine methods to strategically address up to 40 of the top risk factors for the condition. This therapy shows huge promise compared to the small slowing of progression reported from conventional treatments alone, which is generally recommended while taking part in our program
