Tuning the Brain (eBook, PDF)

Principles and Practice of Neurosomatic Medicine

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

In this remarkable volume, Dr. Jay A. Goldstein clearly presents both the theoretical and the practical aspects of this revolutionary approach to treating CFS and other conditions that have often been termed psychosomatic. Dr. Goldstein will show you how he achieves results for patients with CFS and a variety of other syndromes in days, rather than months or years. From the most basic questions¿¿What is neurosomatic medicine?¿ and ¿How can treatments sometimes work so rapidly?¿¿to specific technical concerns¿¿What is receptor profiling, and how does it indicate the type of receptor dysregulation in an individual patient?¿¿Tuning the Brain: Principles and Practice of Neurosomatic Medicine provides the answers in a clear and cogent manner. You'll learn which abnormalities in brain function produce neurosomatic disorders and how an understanding of these abnormalities can help you provide effective treatment.
