The end of the 1990's marked the completion of the so-called Decade of the Brain, a title bestowed upon this period by researchers and clinicians in the neurosciences not only to enhance awareness of the various neurodegenerative diseases, but also to encourage research into the diverse genetic, infectious, environmental, traumatic and life-style influences on their development. But despite the commendable advances in our understanding of the causes of these maladies, lack of significant progress from a therapeutic perspective may mean that we will leave the Decade of the Brain to usher in the Century of Brain Dysfunction.
BrainRecovery.com should not be looked upon as providing "alternative therapy." This designation connotes a decision making process where one approach is used to the exclusion of others. Rather, this information should be used to complement many of the vast array of therapies offered by conventional medicine.
Reluctance on the part of conventional practitioners to embrace or even consider complementary approaches is typically (and frequently erroneously) justified by statements indicating a lack of "peer reviewed studies" or "scientific evidence." The therapeutic techniques described in BrainRecovery.com are supported by literature citations from the most respected, peer reviewed scientific and medical publications on the planet.
As we are now firmly entrenched in the "information age," the knowledge we so desperately need to maintain health and meet the challenges of disease is finally within our grasp. Our dependence upon a system where standard of care is dictated by pharmaceutical advertising is giving way to a new standard of care---one that recognizes the utility of a wide spectrum of well-studied, scientifically validated interventions not solely disseminated by the prescription pad.
It has been said that knowledge is power, but clearly in this context, knowledge is health.
