Dear Dr Marvin Berman
I am writing you this letter, delighted to inform you of the progress observed in my aunt. My aunt has a condition that causes the degeneration of the cerebellum of her brain; this has resulted to her spending a lot of time at home due to her limited movement and speech. This condition has caused us concern, as we started to notice other signs of cognitive decline, such as inability to understand what is being said to her, hand stutter, speech stutter, memory decline etc. After using the Vielight Neuro Alpha, my aunt has improved dramatically. We have noticed that her verbal stutter has improved, her hand stutter has improved, her memory has returned to normal, and her ability to understand what is being said to her has also returned to normal. We are very thankful for your treatment device, and would highly recommend it to anyone who is concerned about their loved one.
" We have been using the helmet 2 x a day for last 2 weeks. We are experiencing better sleep and we thought you might be interested in knowing that we both have Bio Straps that we wear at night monitoring our sleep and heart rate and we have noticed a significant increase in our HRV scores- we are appreciative to you. - Dr. M. & J. "

For anyone who feels that they are in cognitive decline associated with aging or in early-stage dementia and want to address these changes, consider looking to the QuietMIND Foundation and Dr. Marvin Berman. This group has the experience to improve your cognitive function with tools such as photobiomodulation using pulsed light therapy and intranasal light therapy. I confronted my own struggle with age-related cognitive decline with neurofeedback therapy later augmented with near infrared light therapy managed by Dr. Berman. After a few weeks of light therapy, my cognitive function definitely improved, and hopefully, with continued therapy it will continue to improve.

Join A Clinical Trial
Research advances our understanding of how to deal with complex problems. Clinical trials are the most direct way to evaluate new solutions. Joining a trial can help you and others to obtain safer and better treatment choices. Quietmind is conducting an uncontrolled trial of the Cognitolite and Neuradiant 1070 transcranial photobiomodulation devices. There is no funding or placebo group for these studies so an equipment fee is charged for the exclusive use of the study devices. Please contact the study QMF coordinator for enrollment details.

I started using the Vielight Neuro Gamma PBM helmet on 4/16/2021. At that time, I was experiencing severe pain and leg weakness from an auto-immune neurological disorder, significant irritable bowel syndrome manifested by chronic constipation (IBS-C), recurrent chest pain due to a lung infection, excessive fatigue and depression. My auto-immune disorder and related medical issues problems had been steadily worsening since May 2019. By April 2021 I had trouble climbing more than three steps, walking more than a city block, carrying out simple house work or grocery shopping and chronic pain that averaged 5-8 daily (on a scale of 1 – 10).
My symptoms also interfered with memory and concentration. I initially started using the Vielight as an alternative to increasingly powerful opioid pain killers. I tried the 40hz gamma for 30 second interval once a day. I found the stimulation disruptive (it increased my irritability and depressed my mood). I then tried the alpha stimulation for 30 seconds, and slowly increased by 30 seconds to 5 minutes once a day. In June, after 2 months, I went to twice a day (morning and early evening) alpha stimulation with 5 minute durations. I noticed that the severe neuropathic pain (burning, tingling in my legs and arms) as well as the severe joint pain in my knees, hands, wrists, and hips slowly decreased after about a month of daily use. I also noticed that my pain level would shoot back up if I skipped a day, and was excruiating if I skipped two days. I have discontinued strong pain killers and now only need an ocassional Tylenol. In addition, my mood stabilized and markedly improved after 3 months of twice daily use. I use the Vielight while watching TV or reading the paper. Prior to using the Vielight, I reached a point where I could not stand for more than 15 minutes or carry groceries over 5 pounds. I had to take stimulant medication in order to get out of bed. If I didn't take the medication, I needed daily hour-long naps in the mid-afternoon and didn’t have the energy to do anything. At times over the past two years, I have needed to use a cane or walker to be able to get around in my own home and couldn't walk more than 1/2 city block. Now, I can stand for several hours, easily ascend and descend two flights of stairs, and recently walked over 3,000 steps. I had two episodes of severe colitis over the past year (one requiring hospitalization) and was taking prescription strength medication to address chronic constipation. In mid-September I started to taper the medication and as of October, no longer have a problem with constipation and have discontinued this medication. My strength has improved I was able to resume food shopping, cooking, and light housework. In early October 2021, (after 6 months of use) I added 2 min gamma stimulation and 5 min alpha AM, and 5 min alpha PM and I immediately noticed improved mental clarity. Lastly, no more suicidal ideation.
