Dr. Gary Kaplan Featured in Prevention Magazine

Chronic neuroinflammation is a condition that wreaks havoc on the body's immune system and can be linked to neurodegenerative diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis, Fibromyalgia, Alzheimer's, and Lyme disease. And it's the topic of Brain On Fire - Prevention Magazine's article featuring Dr. Gary Kaplan this April (in stores now).

In this article, Dr. Kaplan discusses the theory behind "Central Sensitization Syndrome" - the inflammatory condition that damages the structure and undermines the functioning of the central nervous system. He addresses the potential causes of this state of chronic inflammation, as well as the role it plays in pain & depression. 

Dr. Kaplan's hope is that the research supporting this theory will encourage more doctors to consider neuroregenerative treatments such as acupuncture and meditation in conjunction with conventional treatments, to help resolve the underlying inflammation and put more patients on the path to recovery.
