There is a revolutionary new medical technology that has transformed the treatment of many medical disorders including Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, brain cancer, Alzheimer’s, anxiety, and opioid addiction.
This breakthrough tool is called FOCUSED ULTRASOUND.
Simply put, it’s incision-less brain surgery.
In the words of Dr. Ali Rezai MD, “We reset the brain, if you will, and delete that addiction program.”
With this ability to use ultrasonic energy to target tissue deep in the brain – and without incisions or radiation – Focused Ultrasound has the potential to transform the lives of millions. Tony covered this new technology in his book LIFE FORCE, where he showcased the work of Insightec – a medical device company that is leading the charge for Focused Ultrasound.
Following twenty years of research, development, and clinical experience, Insightec has finally taken this technology from science fiction to FDA approval.
In this thought-provoking conversation, Tony is joined by Dr. Arjun “JJ” Desai, the Chief Strategic Innovation Officer at Insightec and creator of this innovative technology, as well as Dr. Ali Rezai, a board-certified neurosurgeon, and Associate Dean of Neuroscience at West Virginia University (WVU), to discuss these breakthroughs in precision treatment, and how Insightec is already having a profound impact on patients’ lives today.
Tony also hears from two patients who share their firsthand experiences with the latest procedure. Alexandra Lebenthal, an original clinical trial participant in 2016, recounts her journey treating Essential Tremor, while Dave Martin, a patient of Dr. Rezai, details his experience with Focused Ultrasound to address an over 30-year battle with drug addiction. Both patients offer compelling testimonials to this visionary technology that can soon have a lasting effect for our collective health and longevity.
Focused Ultrasound is no longer the stuff of far-off science fiction – it is here now and effectively changing lives!
