Parkinson ’ s Patients Get More Mobility And Better Balance With Whole Body Vibration Therapy
I’ve always believed that with a little coaxing, your body can self-heal – and the same is true for your brain. Conventional doctors will never tell you this. For them, being a physician means managing symptoms with Big Pharma meds. But for years, I’ve been helping patients recover using dietary changes, lasers, stem cells, and hyperbaric oxygen (HBOT).

No, You Probably Shouldn ’t Drink 25 Cups of Coffee a Day

In his presentation, “The Dangers of Anchoring,” Michael Gerber, MPH, discussed how cognitive biases help our brain make important short-cuts when making decisions—but also how those short-cuts often lead to inaccurate conclusions and medical errors. Michael, a veteran paramedic, author and consultant, used a series of case studies and research to guide the audience through ways to recognize cognitive biases and prevent them from harming our patients.
