These disorders include Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, multiple sclerosis, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Parkinson's disease, cerebrovascular diseases including stroke, migraine and other headache disorders, epilepsy, neuroinfections, brain tumors, traumatic disorders of the nervous system due to head trauma, and neurological disorders as a result of malnutrition.
We invite you to learn from the articles below as well as all the articles on the Nervous System and Neurological Disorders page on the FAIM website.

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is among the most common chronic neurodegenerative conditions, affecting 1% of those over 60 years of age, and involves motor and non-motor impairments. Thus, better clinical outcomes may result when practitioners utilize nutritional and supplement interventions that support reductions in neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration as early as possible.

PEMF has been shown to support progress in neuro-chemical conditions that include addiction, ADHD, anxiety, autism spectrum disorders, depression, PTSD, and sleep issues. Research also indicates benefit for neuro-pathologies such as concussion, memory loss, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), mild traumatic brain injury (TBI), multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, stroke, and tremor.

The outcome of a study done by Dr. James Forsythe showed that Poly-MVA is a safe (both orally/IV) and extremely effective supplement for support and palliative assistance in stage IV cancer patients, either with or without concomitant chemotherapy. The safety profile is excellent and there were no treatment related deaths or any significant adverse reactions or negative interactions with chemotherapy or hormonal treatments. The best responding tumors were: Prostate, Breast, Lung, Head/Neck, Colorectal, and Hematological. Results show an improved Overall Response Rate over historical controls. Other research has shown a benefit for neurological diseases such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and Huntington’s.
