Dr. David Marquis, DC DACBN

Dr. David Marquis, DC DACBN Dr. Marquis is a Functional Medicine doctor who goes beyond symptom management medicine.

How many people do you know that think they have some form of "ADD or Aspergers", or just get "Foggy in the Brain" and are forgetful of names and places or those who stumble or trip a lot. These are all subtle signs of a Brain Imbalance that affect health in ways that will totally surprise you. Patients who have unrecognized neurological symptoms due to an imbalance between their left and right brain hemispheres need help and medication isn't always the solution. Drugs treat the hemispheres equally, where as Brain Based Therapy can treat a specific area in the brain; effectively helping the patient recover from symptoms and conditions caused when the brain is imbalanced. These unique therapies when combined with proper fuel delivery (metabolism) allow patients to succeed in overcoming their blocks to optimal health. After a complete evaluation which often includes full labs and physical exam along with history to determine the actual cause of complaints Dr. Marquis will implement an equally comprehensive treatment plan. He will leave no stone unturned to assist his patients in their recovery.

Alzheimer’s isn’t caused by just one thing—and that’s exactly why a single pill has never been enough. 🧠💡 Neurodegeneration can be driven by inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, insulin resistance, chronic stress, toxins, poor sleep, and more… and each brain shows a different pattern.

Reading The End of Alzheimer’s by Dr. Dale Bredesen completely shifted my understanding. He explains how identifying the root causes—your root causes—can help protect and even strengthen cognitive function. 🌿✨
It’s a reminder that brain health is something we can actively support through lifestyle, nutrition, and personalized care.

Learning = empowerment. ♥️

🌟This is a tachistoscope🌟—we use this as part of our brain based therapies to help with word recall, memory, and bilateral movement. An early psychology tool designed to flash images, words, or symbols for just milliseconds. Researchers used it to study how quickly we recognize letters, read, react, and make sense of what we see. The tachistoscope helped uncover how the human brain processes visual information at lightning speed 🧠⚡️

The document reinforces the need for independent research into cumulative safety of the complete vaccine calendar, never yet evaluated in the long term.

What’s behind the explosive increase in autism? 

A new, comprehensive report from the McCullough Foundation led by Dr. Peter McCullough, reviewed more than 130 studies about determinants of autism. 

The result is overwhelming,: autism is multifactorial, involving genetic predisposition, environmental factors, and immune dysfunction.

Yet one finding that stands out: 
📍The set and time of infant vaccinations — more than 30 doses up to the age of 2 — emerges as the most relevant modifiable factor. 

According to the report, 107 studies found associations between immunization or their components (like aluminum and ethylmercury) and neurodevelopmental disorders, while only 29 found no correlation — and these, in most cases didn’t compare to truly unvaccinated groups. 

The document reinforces the need for independent research into cumulative safety of the complete vaccine calendar, never yet evaluated in the long term. 

📈Since 1970, the prevalence of autism has risen over 32,000% — from 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 31 children (CDC, 2020). 

“The combination and early timing of routine vaccinations constitute the most significant and modifiable risk factor for autism.” — McCullough Foundation Report, 2025. 

Reflection: Talking about it is not denying science - it is demanding complete science, without gaps or conflicts of interest. Because transparency and security are pillars of medical trust

🧩 Autism is complex — and so is the conversation around it.

This graphic shows how autism can be influenced by many factors — genetics, early brain development, pregnancy complications, toxins, vaccines, and environmental exposures.

In a new study by Dr. McCullough he outlines possible determinants of autism. This study helps outline what is inflaming our kids brains.

Autism is complex, but the conversation should stay rooted in facts, not fear. 🧠✨

This is an amazing story about our patient Milton who is 7 years old🥹💖 We have been working with this amazing little guy for the last 3 years and have seen incredible improvement! When he first came to us his pediatrician said that Milton would never walk. At 4 years old, he wasn’t growing or gaining weight and he had very little interest in movement in general.

We didn’t accept that for his fate and neither did his parents. With the incredible work of Tom, our neuro team, and Dr. Marquis, Milton began to build strength. We assessed him for primitive reflexes and through a variety of therapies, laser, stretches and more he began to sit up, crawl, and now walk. We created an environment for his body and mind to grow into and they responded. 🧠

He is more alert, eating better, drooling less, and his stamina has increased. We can’t wait to see what he accomplishes next! 🎉✨💖🎈
