Complementary care and limits
In summary: Official pages say InnerOptimal neurofeedback is complementary care and not a substitute for medical diagnosis, psychiatric care or prescribed medication, and that the founders are not licensed physicians. This wiki is not medical advice.
What do official disclaimers say?
Current official pages carry this medical disclaimer: neurofeedback is complementary care and not a substitute for medical diagnosis, psychiatric care, or prescribed medication.[1][2] The founders page adds: Marie-Laure Wagner-Hunsaker or Danielle Chavalarias are not licensed physicians; they do not diagnose; they do not treat or they do not advise psychological or medical disorders; please consult your physician for medical disorders; this brain training is alternative or complementary to health.[2]
Complementary-care note: Official InnerOptimal pages state that neurofeedback is complementary care and not a substitute for medical diagnosis, psychiatric care or prescribed medication, and that Danielle Chavalarias and Marie-Laure Wagner-Hunsaker are not licensed physicians, do not diagnose, and do not treat or advise on psychological or medical disorders. This wiki repeats those limits and is not medical advice.
Where does marketing language go further?
Some official program copy uses stronger phrases, including medication-free recovery without side effects.[3] Testimonials on official pages describe personal changes in anxiety, sleep or quality of life.[1] This wiki records that those passages exist, does not copy them as evidence, and treats the disclaimer as the governing official limit when wording conflicts.
What this reference will not do
It will not advise anyone to start, stop or change medication or therapy. It will not say that a program treats ADHD, PTSD, depression or any other diagnosis. It will not interpret a Google review as a clinical outcome. People with medical or psychiatric questions should use licensed care, as the company itself instructs.[2]
