We always have our eyes open for new treatments that help brain-related diseases and other conditions. For some of these, unfortunately, there simply isn't a cure. Alzheimer's been described as the Great Morbidity of the 21st Century and it currently affects an estimate of 5.8 million Americans. Even tough we have not found a cure for it yet, great medical advances have helped us get closer. A recent study, for instance, found that mice with some Alzheimer’s-like brain plaques were positively impacted when shown flashing lights and clicking sounds.

Healing in Croatia: Hypnosis

I want to talk about my experience with hypnosis-induced talk therapy without invading my own privacy or the privacy of the man I received the treatment from. I came to Croatia expecting to receive one type of treatment but I ended up practicing yoga (antigravity and vinyasa), Plasma-wave therapy, sound-wave therapy, and hypnosis talk-therapy. I strongly believe in the synergies of using several modalities at once. Of course, the downside is that you cannot determine which modality caused your improvement and which, if any, did nothing at all.

Healing in Croatia: Reiki

I looked for Reiki practitioners in Zagreb on a whim. The first result found a spa that was charging $120/session. Lol. A little steep. The second person had a very poorly designed website. I contacted him over email and he offered to have me come to his house.

How to Get a Parasite

For seven years now I have been fighting and testing positive for parasites. In 2011 I went to Mexico City for an internship. Two days after I returned I began bi-hourly diarrhea. Several tests for pathogens including parasites were all negative but after two weeks spent in the bathroom and bed I was given the commonly prescribed anti-parasitic, Flagyl, from an infectious-disease doctor.
