btt Medical Institute provides physician-guided care for patients with complex neurological conditions and oncology-related needs through brain-guided thermodynamics.
Brain First
Most treatments focus on the disease.
We start where regulation begins.
The brain helps coordinate inflammation, recovery, immune response, movement, sleep, metabolism — and shapes how the body adapts under stress.
At btt Medical Institute, physicians use brain-guided thermodynamics to better understand and support those regulatory systems through personalized thermal therapies.
Our goal is not simply to treat symptoms. It is to help create the biological conditions that support function, adaptation and quality of life.
How Brain-Guided
Thermodynamics Works
One of the body's natural responses to elevated temperature is the production of Heat Shock Proteins (HSPs)—specialized proteins that help protect cells during periods of physiological stress. Often described as the body's molecular repair system, HSPs assist in refolding damaged proteins, removing toxic protein aggregates, supporting cellular repair, and maintaining healthy protein balance throughout the body.
Many neurodegenerative diseases—including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease—as well as several forms of cancer have been associated with abnormal protein folding and the accumulation of dysfunctional proteins. By precisely guiding therapeutic temperature through the brain's own thermoregulatory pathways, CBIT² is designed to activate the body's natural heat shock response, supporting these protective cellular mechanisms in a controlled and personalized way.

The science behind every treatment.
Behind every treatment are more than two decades of scientific research.
btt Medical Institute is built on Dr. Marc Abreu's Brain-Eyelid Thermal Regulatory Tunnel discovery and a growing body of research exploring the relationship between brain temperature, cellular repair, inflammation and human physiology.
Our clinical work continues to evolve through scientific publications, documented patient outcomes and ongoing research.

Common questions
about btt Medical Institute
Quick answers about treatment, eligibility, and what to expect.
Is btt Medical Institute's treatment only available in Florida, USA?+
Yes. At present, treatment is provided only at our institute in Aventura, Florida, just north of Miami.
Where is btt Medical Institute located?+
We are located in Aventura, Florida, USA — just 30 minutes south of Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport or 40 minutes north of Miami International Airport. Our addresses are: South Unit: 17501 Biscayne Boulevard, Suite 470, Aventura, FL 33160 North Unit: 20295 NE 29th Place, Suite 300, Aventura, FL 33180
How many sessions are required for treatment at btt Medical Institute?+
There is no fixed number of sessions per condition. Your treatment plan will be personalized and adjusted according to your brain's specific response throughout your care journey. Since the treatment is guided by each patient's brain thermodynamics — which are as unique as fingerprints — the response is entirely individual.
Is the heat generated during the treatment similar to a sauna?+
No. The heat produced during treatment at btt Medical Institute is entirely different from sauna heat. While a sauna heats the body in a superficial and generalized way, our brain-guided thermal therapy uses advanced technology to precisely and safely modulate temperature in targeted areas — especially in the brain — aligned with the body's natural thermoregulation mechanisms. Based on personalized frequencies and thermodynamic patterns, the treatment activates deep biological processes, such as the induction of heat shock proteins (HSPs) and anti-inflammatory molecules — effects that cannot be achieved through sauna heat. In short: although both involve heat, their application, purpose, and therapeutic outcomes are completely distinct.
How many days will I need to stay in Aventura for treatment with Dr. Marc Abreu?+
The protocol typically requires a stay of 5 consecutive days in Aventura, Florida.
Can I bring a companion?+
Yes, having a companion is mandatory during the treatment days at btt Medical Institute. Your companion plays an essential role in your treatment journey.
Which conditions can be treated at btt Medical Institute?+
Some of the conditions treated include Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, ALS, Huntington's disease, ataxia, certain types of metastatic cancers (e.g., pancreatic, prostate, testicular, ovarian), multiple sclerosis, and Lyme disease.
