The NRG Immune Enhancement System, which the developers say strengthens and rebuilds the body’s immune system , is now available at more than 60 clinics throughout North America.

“We are only as healthy as our immune system allows,” said Russell Brokstein, D.C., an NRG Immune Enhancement System practitioner in Freehold. “If our immune system is clogged up, we need to restore the system so that we do not become susceptible to illness and disease.”

The NRG Immune Enhancement System includes an FDA-cleared biofeedback device that provides the feedback necessary to properly analyze the body’s energy levels when exposed to various elements.

Measurement parameters have been established through scientific research to determine normal energy levels during exposure to each element. Any measurement readings that fall outside of these parameters may indicate a possible hazard or stress to the immune system. The proprietary NRG database contains more than 100,000 items that can be tested.

Brokstein’s office, Hometown Family Wellness Center, is at 9 Broadway, Freehold. He may be reached at 732-780-0044.
