My Brain Restore Burnett discusses: * His diagnoses and the moment he realized standard treatment offered no path to recovery * Why he turned to Japanese neurological research overlooked in Western medicine * The development of his proprietary processing method and why he believes it matters * What he can measure, what he cannot yet prove, and where critics are right to be skeptical * The ethical risks of self-experimentation when the alternative is slow decline * Why FDA limitations complicate public conversations about neurological recovery This is not a promotional interview. It is a rigorous, good-faith examination of claims, evidence, and uncertainty, designed to let listeners decide for themselves where they land.
