A year ago I believed I had early onset Alzheimer’s 😳 So i went to the Atlanta Amen Clinic and discovered I have ADD. Additionally with what’s called The Ring of Fire. My supplement and exercise program has been a game changer. I recommend it to everyone.

You guys seem like really genuine and cool people!! Thanks for sharing. Planning to get a scan once I'm more financially stable in the future :)

[PouringOrange]

I’m wondering how women and our menstrual cycle, hormones, etc impact the scan and tests in any given day.

[beachbelle]

i’m going to the Amen clinic and i’m 14. but i’m super nervous to be honest! i’ll be going in a couple days. wish me luck!

While this is an exciting topic, it would’ve been helpful to include the appointment to hear the doctor explain the scan results. As a graduate student I looked forward to the clinical data. I appreciate the links.

Thanks for sharing this. I wish I had gotten this when I was younger. A lot of people struggle because "self-help" doesn't work. It's a worthwhile investment to get more specific information on how to help yourself. Watching you go through the process takes away some of the anxiety about what it will be like. What about follow ups, if you get a follow up scan it would be interesting to see how it changed. Also, a follow up on how your therapy went and whether the whole thing gave you significant improvements. Also, you want to post videos and get views and comments, but then you don't go back and answer the questions from the viewers.

Thanks so much for this video. I’m taking my son tomorrow to get a scan.

You guys didn't mention it in the video, but do you have to get the IV of the radioactive tracer both days?

[taribrumfiel]

Not everyone believes this will help them. I have an appointment next month in Seattle. I am going in with a bit of skepticism. As I do when my do adds a new med to help the other med side effects. At 57yr old they shotgun approach for my ADD isn't helping my life quality. If its a rip off ill be the first to say so. I know diet and supplements are part of the plan. If there suggestions are to costly thru BrainMD I have other ways. I researched the drs I am Zooming for my results and many are from highly regarded backgrounds. Do your home work for any procedure. If you work the plan and you don't think it helps you have more information than before you started. Adult ADD is real and co-morbid problems are tricky. Ill keep you posted and thanks for the insight about scanning while snoozing.

Thank you for this video! I’ve been meaning to research more about this ever since y’all posted about it on IG. This is so informative!

[franciscobarrajonsanchez]

Could you make a video showing the results of this months of treatment? Thank you

[TrthBHld]

Great info! I did all the free assessments they have and you’re right even those results helped my family tremendously! I’m so glad you shared your experience. I know Dr. Amen has been lobbying to get SPECT scans added to insurance 🙏

[nikangel]

I wish i could of gotten this done for my 12 yr old non-verbal Autistic Son. I wrote Dr. AMEN about 5 yrs ago, asking if it was possible to do a pro-bono. Being a Single Mom and all. Unfortunately never heard back from his team. Bummer. Hopefully insurance will cover it someday. 🙏

[RBR]

Is there a follow up video on this? Did you follow the program and notice results etc? Thanks.

[JnTmarie]

Read books, learn something new all the time, get sleep, eat plant based, exercise, have loving relationships which you clearly do with each other 💗, positive thoughts, you do that well also. Thank you for doing this video. It’s a lot of money without clear cut results from his studies. Stay beautiful💜

[creatingheavenhobovlog]

I’m not sure that any of that initial stuff was all that important to my treatment. And if they were, it’d prolly turn up later, but I really can’t afford my appointments past the first $5, 000

[goldpyramidsfoodtravelvlog]

What was the total cost of the SPECT brain scan?

[Pinkpalmpuffgroup]

I just did this today, and absolutely wasted nearly 5k.. all they do is give you so much info that is pre-written based off all the paperwork I filled out and try selling you on their supplement products.. I told the Dr. “what did I pay all this money for, I didn’t learn anything I didn’t already know or already currently doing”

[leannewolf]

What did it cost and how long did it take to get an appointment?

[dwdwone]

What kinds of nutritional supplements were you guys recommended?
