Joan C. was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s a couple of years ago. The first symptoms appeared both physically and psychologically, as he began having difficulties walking and remembering.
He felt that something was happening in his body — and indeed it was. However, when his wife accompanied him to the neurologist, and after the relevant tests, they could not reach a diagnosis.
Thus, this 77-year-old Catalan began to worsen, and a second visit with a more thorough examination became necessary.
This time, he again left the neurologist’s office without an Alzheimer’s diagnosis, but with hydrocephalus. He was treated for this condition and showed improvement, but undoubtedly, something was still wrong…
The following months were full of tests and more tests, from which the correct diagnosis finally emerged: Joan had Alzheimer’s.
The solution was the usual one: medication — and the consequences were also as expected: some improvement, but at the cost of the unwanted side effects that come with this type of medication.
It was his wife, successfully treated at the Center for Neuro-Regenerative Medicine for the Restless Legs Syndrome she suffered from, who encouraged him to try stimulation with auricular microimplants.
From her own experience, she knew the benefits of this auriculotherapy, the simplicity of the treatment, and its effectiveness.
She did not hesitate to recommend it to her husband, just as she had previously done with some of her friends who suffered from neurodegenerative disorders.
They traveled to Valencia, and on the same day, Joan received the implants. The improvement appeared quickly.
A fall that summer — resulting in two broken ribs — caused a temporary setback in the progress he was experiencing, but after a month, the improvement continued.
The effect was so remarkable that the new neurologist they consulted even stated that, at first glance, there were no signs that he was suffering from the disease.
Currently, Joan and his closest family continue to benefit from the effects of permanent auricular implantology, as these effects last a lifetime.
Short-term memory is not fully recovered, but long-term memory has shown significant progress.
Another major achievement has been the gradual reduction of his medication, as well as the considerable financial burden it represented.
