- Original description
Do you have Epilepsy? Would you like to participate in a study using PhotoBioModulation (PBM)? PBM is being researched for potential benefits in resolving many stress-related brain disorders. It is a non-invasive technique that delivers light energy to cells and tissues that can promote brain stabilization and self-regulation, cell repair, reduce oxidative stress, and enhance cellular function. We ask you to participate for about 3-4 months and come to our facility for 30 minute sessions 3x a week for 15 weeks. You will receive extensive metabolic testing and an Õura ring for your participation.Read full original descriptionShow less
