My personal brain entrainment results

I have the P9 and have been using Theta protocol on intensity level 8. I use external coils either on the back of my head or on my temples. I can put myself in a very deep meditative state. I find it useful to do about half an hour before I go to bed. I also use a Xpulser (from Dr. Pawluk, but it is basically an A9 set to 3 hz) throughout the night under my pillow.

Parkinson's tremors stopped on their tracks using an M1 clone

UPDATE after 2 years of using PEMF for Parkinsons and related symptoms like dementia, hallucinations, muscle cramps and anxiety/panic attacks. All of which my mom had plenty of prior to using PEMF, which was the reason I was looking for some kind of treatment, when I found PEMF. Today, my mom is doing amazingly well. No signs of dementia. No muscle cramps. No hallucinations. No anxiety/panic attacks. Mentally she is doing great. She still has occasional “off time”, due to how the dopamine medic…

I have a close friend who was diagnosed with slow onset of Parkinson – actually, I bought my first M1 for my friend after finding out he had PD and after watching the video of how effective PEMF ICES could be on treating PD – was that you on the video talking about your mom? I’m not sure.

I believe in the Bob’s work because of how amazingly effective the M1 is on reducing pain and inflammation. Unfortunately, not so much for my fibromyalgia so far and my depression. While it seems to keep the depression manageable, it does not get rid of it entirely and I’ve had to use it every night as I sleep… for the past few years. If I miss out for any reason, the depression hits me hard and even when I use it every night, there are nights when I can feel the heaviness coming on before a major attack.

About my friend’s PD, he said within a few days of use of the M1, his chronic neck stiffness (comes with the PD territory) disappeared and he was able to sleep through the night which he hadn’t been able to do for over 10 years since the onset of his PD. Every time he applies the coils too, his tremors disappear. But unfortunately, they come back when he stops using the coils.

He wears them for about an hour every day, but he cannot tolerate the clicking so he does not sleep with them on at night. But even though he uses them every day for an hour as opposed to you using on your mother for half an hour, he still has not seen any improvement on his PD beyond the sleep and reduction of stiffness. Perhaps he needs longer applications?

I also suggested photobiomodulation (PBM) and at my recommendation – to my deepest regret, he bought a transcranial set from Australia which broke down within a few months. Based on research studies, PBM was shown to be effective in controlling PD – not to cure it, but keep it from progressing further. Unfortunately, that hasn’t worked for him either.

Added with a strict keto diet, meditation, tai chi qigong, and of course his daily PD medication, I think he’s done pretty much everything possible to help with his PD, to no avail. While his PD is still relatively mild, the onset started in his early forties when his children were still very young. He used to run every day as part of his exercise routine, but that stopped with the pain he started experiencing with his feet.

Fortunately, his PD progression is slow but nevertheless the deterioration is significantly noticeable. I know PEMF works differently with each individual, but I’m open to suggestion if you have any.

Thanks very much for hearing me out.

Thanks very much for hearing me out.

Thank you for your detailed description. This matches my understanding of those disease.

Chronic depression, PD, etc. have all underlying root causes. If you see them from an energetic perspective, ICES works (in my opinion) primarily on the vital/etheric level which directly supports the physical level. But ICES can not fix issues where the origin of the disease is on the mental or higher (e.g. spiritual) level or if it is result of “to much” physical destruction / accumulated toxins which seem to be cause of PD.

In this though model, ICES can only reduce some negative effects - enough for bone and wound healing or for temporary things like migraines. ICES helps, but the body must heal itself - on all levels. In that regard depression, as an example, has to be tackled at the root cause.

Best,
Hans

Neurovizr may be something to consider to “unstick” the brain patter in regards to the reoccuring depression.

For Parkinson’s, there are successful stage 2, now stage 3 trials underway, using Privigen (used in IVIG) and Insulin delivered to the brain via the nasal passage with the Kurve ViaNase (a device that gets the compounds to the brain). There is a FB group with the phrase intranasal immunoglobulins that has more information on this topic. Please know it is entirely n=1 self experimental…

I’m sorry to hear about your friend’s PD diagnosis. At our clinic, we’ve had encouraging results using Vielight photobiomodulation — specifically the Gamma (40 Hz) setting — with PD patients. Many see noticeable improvements in gait and speech within the first month of consistent use.

Of the 6–7 PD patients who’ve trialed it with us, 4 experienced meaningful enough benefit to purchase their own device, typically either the Neuro Gamma or the Neuro Duo (which combines Gamma and Alpha modes).

We also use the Vielight Vagus stimulator extensively in our practice. Honestly, it’s hard to find anyone in 2026 who isn’t running at least a little hot on the sympathetic side — and supporting a healthier autonomic baseline tends to pay dividends across the board, whether someone has a neurodegenerative condition or not.
