OUR GUEST Dr. Eric Braverman, Founder and Medical Director of PATH Medical, joined the show to discuss Exploring and Treating the Brain for Alzheimer's Patients.
Specifically, we discuss the following with Dr. Braverman on this episode:
- (4:08) What types of patients do you serve at PATH Medical?
- (5:35) You’ve said ‘“The sad truth is healthcare right now is brainless.” What do you mean by this?
- (21:53) You’ve developed something called the p300 test, can you tell us how you believe it will significantly improve the affordability of dementia care?
- (29:18) Can you tell us more about your unique treatment of Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia?
- (44:50) What would you recommend to a family that has a loved one that is exhibiting the early signs of dementia?

About PATH Medical (from http://www.pathmed.com/about-path-medical.html)
Of course it’s impossible to refute the fact that in every living being, the head is attached to the body. But modern medicine seems to constantly forget this! From treating patients like cars in a Ford assembly line–with each medical specialist focusing only on one part of the body–to neglecting the true causes and effects of illness, the brain’s master role in our physiology is repeatedly overlooked.
At PATH Medical, the brain guides us. We know that every illness ages the brain, and that imbalances in the brain can also lead to illness elsewhere in the body. We know that virtually every disease is diagnosable even before signs and symptoms appear, and that in order to deliver care that will restore and preserve total health, we must have early diagnosis of chronic disease.
We accomplish this by using state-of-the-art technology, including a head-to-toe ultrasound-based examination, and a computerized qEEG to assess brain health.
We interpret the results and then can begin the process of reversing disease, which is often accelerated aging, and develop a plan of action uniquely tailored to each patient’s biochemistry and needs.
