Exablate Neuro technology is available at Penn Medicine in Philadelphia and is already used by 13 U.S. medical centers for treatment of a separate condition, essential tremor, which has similar characteristics and often demonstrates the same instantaneous results. The FDA approved the technology for treatment of essential tremor in 2016.

My tremor has all but just about disappeared since I took Dr Joe Dispenza’s online Progressive Workshop for $299.00 dollars and my gait is near normal. Leg tremor is completely gone. It all happened rather swiftly over about 3 months. Friends and family are amazed. Life is near normal.

can you elaborate

Cons10s in reply to Boyce3600

I’m meditating 1-3 hours daily and this is because Dispenza’s program is so interesting I can’t wait to learn more. The science is fascinating as are the results.

My hands no longer feel like they aren’t connected to my arms and shoulders anymore. My tremor is so fine and mild it’s almost unnoticeable. You should know I’ve always had a mild intermittent tremor but now it’s just about nonexistent.

Just returned home from fine dining with a party of 6. Great evening.

you were also benefitting from Vinpocetine. Are you still on it?

Cons10s profile image
Cons10s in reply to Farooqji

Yes still taking Vinpocetine, and will continue because I do believe it benefits me, and because Strokes are in my family history increased blood flow to the brain I believe is beneficial.

I know someone else who had the same result with Joe Dispenza. Did you have rigidity and bradykinesia?

Cons10s profile image
Cons10s in reply to Trixiedee

Yes, and both are much improved, mild or nearly nonexistent. And my balance was corrected with B1 but meditation took it to pretty much normal.

That’s encouraging to hear his work for somebody else as well.

Do you know the cost of this since it is not covered by insurance?

I decided about a month ago to have it done if I could. The Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota is currently reviewing my medical records. They will let me know this month or next if I qualify for an interview. All 11 fingers are crossed.

If I'm accepted, the VA has already said they'd pay for it.

I understand they only do one side in this country, but do both sites in Switzerland for $30,000.

Everything I've read about it is impressive. A few people on this forum have had it done and speak well of it.

Hi MBAnderson did you go through with this? Results? Costs? I'm currently on researching to see how to get accepted for this.
