I know how hard ET is and I really feel for you. My dad’s ET started getting worse at around 40 and when he reached 65 it got to the point where he couldn’t eat without much difficulty, couldn’t write a simple note, use his phone to text, and many things we take for granted and it stressed him out to the point where he started to isolate; he lost motivation completely. It broke my heart and in 2018 I decided to call and email pretty much every doctor around the world who knew anything about ET and after many emails and phone calls I found a surgeon in South Korea and Florida who agreed to see him. A few months later they performed a non-invasive brain operation that totally cured the ET in his dominant hand (they couldn’t do both). It saved his life.

Deep brain stimulation. Brainwave entrainment. This is technology that really should be talked about more. Look it up on Google Scholars to see the research and results it has on many things such as, sleep disorders, concentration, learning, even found to reverse Alzhiemsers. It is so simple you can treat yourself from your cell phone. Deep brain stimulation is the same only they use magnetic pulses. Please look this up.
Can you elaborate on what the non-invasive brain operation was?
Non-invasive wow! Could you provide more details on it?
I'm interested, too, but it might be a loose term - sometimes people say "non-invasive" to mean "minimally-invasive" or such. So something that involves opening the skull and placing electrodes on the surface of the brain can be considered "non-invasive" to the brain matter, and endoscopic endonasal surgery is much less invasive than going through the skull.

In fact, "non-invasive operation" is oxymoronic, because an operation or surgery is a medical treatment that is invasive.
