Autoimmunity and Neuroinflammation Are Everywhere - But Few Doctors Know How to Treat Them at Their Root

More and more patients are walking into our offices with fatigue, pain, autoimmunity, brain fog, and anxiety.

The real issue?

Their brains are on fire — neurons are overfiring from inflammation, faulty inputs, and excitatory overload

“Prior to using QA & Brain on Fire concepts, I was somewhat successful with the functional medicine approach. As I found out later, my problem was, I didn't understand the other half of it. That other half is ‘functional neurology.’ I was only addressing one piece of the puzzle. However, in ‘Brain on Fire', Dr. Schmitt puts it all together.”

Dr. Melissa Tang

The Frustrating Reality in Your Clinic

Every week, more patients walk into your practice with conditions like lupus, Crohn’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, or ulcerative colitis.

Beneath the surface, their neurons are being driven into exhaustion by chronic inflammation, excitatory overload, and misfiring inputs.

This is what Dr. Schmitt described as the “Brain on Fire.”

Left unchecked, it leads to misfiring, neurological decline, and even neuron death. Conventional drugs suppress symptoms but leave the fire smoldering — and as a doctor, you feel the limits of symptom management.

3 Drivers of Brain on Fire

Inflammation

When the Brain's Immune System Overheats

Neurotransmitter Imbalance

Chemicals Out of Balance Disrupt Signals

Neurological Stimulation

Too Much or Not Enough Activity,

What Changes When You Address the Fire

Now picture a different outcome:

You can assess whether the problem is too much excitation or too little inhibition.

You understand how the mesencephalon and TMJ act as windows into systemic immune and endocrine dysfunction.

You integrate structural, chemical, and neurological procedures to cool the brain, rebalance firing, and restore clarity.

Patients don’t just feel “managed.” They feel transformed.

They think clearly, sleep better, regain energy — and your reputation grows as the doctor who succeeds where others could not.

Dr. Schmitt’s Framework for Exceptional Results

This is why Dr. Schmitt created Brain On Fire.

He distilled decades of clinical work into a comprehensive framework that integrates neurology, chemistry, and structural assessment into one system.

Through LIVE demonstration and precise presentation of theory…

He shows you how to perform the procedures needed to assess and treat problems that adversely affect and/or are primarily associated with disturbances in the brain.

Full immersion from the comfort of your own home. The series consists of 4 sessions, filmed live with two cameras and direct audio feed. Each session represents a 12-hour live weekend seminar including workshops (just like the QA Course).

Quick and easy reference of clinical protocols. All 4 Sessions of the "Putting Out the Brain On Fire" seminar series include supportive notes, papers, and clinical procedures. Simply flip open your laptop, and jump to the concept, technique, or tool you need.

Faster and convenient learning resources. In addition to the videos, you’ll have downloadable course and procedure notes.

Build upon your existing QA knowledge. Brain On Fire usually works best for practitioners already confident in QA principles and procedures.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Session 1

VISCERAL AND IMMUNE DYSFUNCTIONS – WHAT TO DO FIRST, NEXT & LAST -1
Cooling Off the Mesencephalon:

Session 1 includes 4 parts, each containing approximately 2-3 hours of content

Learn key principles and concepts of neurology

Live demonstrations of different areas of the nervous system presenting different patterns of muscle weakness or tightness

Identify autonomic, endocrine, and immune system imbalances reflected in the mesencephalon (midbrain)

Better understand the root cause of these imbalances and how each can impact the central nervous system, both above and below the mesencephalon.

Newly discovered TMJ movement related findings

Better understand the relationship between the TMJ and nervous system imbalances

Dr. Schmitt will demonstrate how and when to address nervous system imbalances in an orderly fashion

SESSION 2

VISCERAL AND IMMUNE DYSFUNCTIONS – WHAT TO DO FIRST, NEXT & LAST – 2
The Neurology, Immunology, & Nutrition of Right Brain – Left Brain

Practical procedures for precisely identifying & treating nutritional and immunological needs associated with brain hemisphere imbalances

Specific muscle testing patterns to help identify the most important nutritional, immunological, and structural factors associated with cortical hemispheric problems

Specific treatments to provide effective corrections that are immediately observable

Address Issues present in many of our patients, but not often recognized.

SESSION 3

TREATING THE BRAIN ON FIRE – 1
Finding & Fixing Brain Chemistry: Inflammation & Neurotransmitters

Why chemical imbalances arise and lead to degenerative or destructive activity in the central nervous system

An in-depth discussion of inflammation and altered neurotransmitter chemistry

How to identify each patient’s brain’s unique biochemical needs

How to make specific nutritional recommendations to obtain the most robust response

SESSION 4

TREATING THE BRAIN ON FIRE – 2:
Balancing the Brain with Hands-On Neurological Corrections

How structural and visceral imbalances negatively impact the brain and interfere with normal function

Using information from Sessions 1, 2, & 3, learn organized neurological challenges to identify the specific needs of each patient including addressing “centering the spine” issues

You will develop the skills necessary to correlate structural, chemical, and mental assessments and therapies and achieve optimal neurological function for your patients.

You won’t find a more comprehensive training on the advanced methods and procedures to treat patients with memory problems, bipolar disorder, immune dysregulation, persistent and chronic difficulties, and a vast array of other neurological symptoms.

About Your INSTRUCTOR

Walter Schmitt

DC, DIBAK

Dr. Schmitt was the first physician to hold Diplomate status in both Applied Kinesiology and Chiropractic Neurology. He was renowned for his innovative use of manual muscle testing for functional neurological and neurochemical assessment.

Dr. Schmitt authored over 70 papers for the ICAK, two books for physicians, and one book for the public. Most recently, he was the recipient of the ICAK-USA 2023-2024 David Walther Award for a Lifetime of Contributions to Applied Kinesiology and the Steadfast Pursuit to Ease Human Suffering.
