History of the Foundation

In 1996, a trip took David Vinyes to Popayán, Colombia, where he deepened his learning under the tutelage of his teacher. It wasn’t long before he began sharing this knowledge, offering courses to a diverse group of professionals, from doctors and dentists to nurses and veterinarians.

In 2003, under his direction, the Postgraduate course in Neural Therapy and Neurofocal Dentistry of the Campus Docent Sant Joan de Déu (Universitat de Barcelona) was started. Only three years later, this program evolved into the Master in Medical and Dental Neural Therapy, which later became a degree of the University of Barcelona itself. Since then, 700 health professionals from 25 countries have been trained thanks to the commitment of a whole team of neuraltherapists such as Montserrat Matamala, Josep Maria Pujol and Montserrat Muñoz, from Barcelona; Marcos Pérez, from Navarra; Jorge Petta and Fernando Córdoba, from Colombia; and Cristina Gerascoff, from Uruguay.among many others.

While medical societies in countries such as Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Colombia were at the forefront of neural therapy training and research in the 20th century, in recent years Turkey has been the leader in research and scientific publications, thanks to the work of the Dr. Hüseyin Nazlikul, president of Turkish Neural Therapy Association and IFMANT.

Inspired by this vision and with the support of Teresa García, Montse Muñoz, Javier Delgado and the invaluable encouragement of Julio César Payán (who agreed to become a founding member of the NTRF a year before his death in 2020), the foundation was established. Its main objective: to conduct research that scientifically supports what so many professionals have observed in practice with neural therapy.

Today, the march towards greater understanding and dissemination of neural therapy depends on committed people, people like you.
