The medical technology industry is worth $430 billion. This massive industry has produced many life-changing medical discoveries, some having occurred within the last few years alone. Here are five recent medical breakthroughs changing medicine as we know it:

1. Medical Discoveries of Cancer ‘Vaccine’

This ‘vaccine’ was discovered to have cured tumors in mice. After this discovery, Stanford University opened a clinical trial for testing on humans with lymphoma.

The injection is said to kill off all forms of cancer. Of the mice treated with this ‘vaccine’, only a few had recurring tumors. Those who did have tumors reoccur were successfully treated again with the same ‘vaccine’.

2. A Potential Migraine Injection Was Created

The Food and Drug Administration approved Aimovig. This injection is a preventative measure used to fend off migraines. The clinical trials of this drug showed successful depletion of migraines in subjects.

Aimovig is administered to patients via injection every month. This type of prevention was not previously available to migraine sufferers.

3. Ketamine is Being Considered in Treatment of Depression

Ketamine is otherwise known as a ‘party drug’. However, it’s antidepressant qualities make it an attractive option for those looking to improve upon current medication for patients who suffer from depression.

If ketamine continues in the process of becoming an antidepressant medication it will be in the form of a nasal spray. Studies have already been successful in showing the impact ketamine nasal sprays can have on patients with depression via clinical trials.

4. Brain Implants Acting as “Pacemakers” Improve Human Memory

Those suffering from Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and epilepsy may now have an option to improve their memory by a record percentile. A brain implant that emits electrical pulses has shown memory improvement by 15 percent.

While similar technology has previously been developed it was not as successful as these new brain implants for memory improvement.

5. IV Therapy is On the Market to Combat Stress and Boost Energy Levels

IV therapy is becoming a new trend during the current wellness movement. IV therapy is administered by registered nurses at IV therapy facilities. The bags come as either plain fluids or a customized mixture of vitamins and minerals.

The benefit of IV therapy is its fast-acting ability to get nutrients into your body. Because the fluid is administered through an IV it doesn’t need to process through your digestive system to begin taking effect.

IV therapy takes between 15 and 30 minutes out of a patient’s day and can be completed multiple times a month. The vitamins and mineral you may have added include:

  • Vitamin C
  • Vitamin B12
  • Magnesium
  • Calcium
  • Antioxidants

You can speak with an IV therapy clinic to uncover the right combination for your needs.
