AMA Board Chair
“Patients in the U.S. are now protected against genetic discrimination because of a new law to keep their genetic information secure. The American Medical Association has long called for better patient privacy safeguards as scientific advancements make it possible to individualize health care for patients. The AMA applauds Congress and the president for working together to pass the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2007 into federal law.
“Genetic testing holds great promise for improving public health, and patients must be able to trust that their genetic information will be protected from inappropriate and discriminatory uses. This new law will allow patients to take advantage of scientific advances in genetics, such as screenings and therapies, without worrying that their personal health information could be used against them by insurers or employers. Insurers will be prohibited from denying or canceling coverage or raising premiums based on a patient’s genetic information and employment-based genetic discrimination will be prohibited.

Neurofeedback, also referred to as EEG Biofeedback, is an anti-aging strategy enabling individuals to improve and maintain mental performance, normalize behavior and stabilize mood.
Neurofeedback is a technique which trains the brain to improve regulation of body function, especially those which degrade during the aging process. Like physical training for the body the brain also needs to be exercised to remain healthy and optimized.
Optimized brain function has many benefits in both mental and physical conditioning.
- Improved cognitive function; memory, attention, agility, processing
- Normalized behavior; sleep difficulties, addiction
- Reduced Somatic issues; chronic pain, migraines
- Improved mood; emotional stability, anxiety, depression, obsession panic, rumination
- Stress management; relaxation, stress reduction
Brain training is also an effective treatment for specific issues of damage, injury or dysfunction. Management of brain function can improve the symptoms associated with traumatic brain injury, seizures and stroke. It can also address the underlying cause of harmful addiction.
Optimization of brain function has direct benefit by reducing the external behaviors which mask the real you. Many behavioral conditions over ride how we wish to be, and don’t allow us to present ourselves as we want. Neurofeedback is a lifestyle change, enabling us to manage our mental and body functions, reducing the impact of aging or brain injury and allowing peak performance in all that we do.
