Psychiatric Drug Detoxification and Natural Neurochemical Replenishment
|
The Return to Your Authentic Self Freedom once and for all- you are no longer a patient poisoning your body and your efforts at getting well; you are a vibrant human being living life with the capacity you were born capable of living it. Detoxification from psychiatric medications is a three step process that can usually be done concurrently. These three steps carried out by a qualified practitioner trained in psychiatric drug detoxification and neuroendocrine rebalancing will ensure minimal transitional discomfort and quality mental health. Green Body and Mind provides these services as well as makes referrals to our in-network Green Body and Mind certified Holistic Health Care Practitioners. Detoxification: a thorough detoxification which includes heavy metal toxicity, suspect foods groups, commercial foods due to the neurotoxins (aspartame, msg, etc.) and other chemicals they contain which are known to disrupt brain chemistry, and sugars, refined carbohydrates, and caffeine due to the known damage that these products inflict on the neuroendocrine system is the first fundamental step that needs to taken to rid the body and mind of those substances and accumulated waste that is causing the epidemic of mental illnesses and distresses today. Replenishment: Providing the body and mind a maximum strength nutrient rich diet for each and every cell to flourish and function at its best is the second course of action. A diet developed for optimum neuroendocrine function is the key to creating natural mental health. Orthomolecular Targeted Nutritional Therapy (TNT) Industrial living today, with the stresses, food and environmental toxicities is breaking the body and mind down at an alarming rate. Children as young as 3 years old are experiencing adrenal fatigue from exposure to environments that over stimulate the sympathetic nervous system and the foods that further damage the neuroendocrine system’s ability adapt to these environments. At the very root of the mental health issue of today is the body’s inability to adapt to its environment and the malnutrition caused by industrial products that are called foods. When the sympathetic nervous system is over stimulated for extended periods of time which elevates excitatory neurotransmitters, the inhibitory neurotransmitters which produce relaxation, sound sleep, tranquility, peace and favorable states of mental wellbeing are emptied out due to being exhausted trying to maintain homeostasis with the chronically elevated excitatory neurotransmitters. This is the typical scenario due to our over stimulated and neurotoxic environmental and dietary exposures. There are also cases where the inhibitory neurotransmitters are high and the excitatory neurotransmitters are low - and there are also cases which possess a unique combination of both conditions in different neurochemical pathways of the brain. For this reason, one should consider a number of different brain chemistry analysis tests to identify the exact neuroendocrine imbalances and begin a course of what is called targeted nutritional therapy. Targeted Nutritional Therapy involves the use of the exact nutrients required to bring up levels of neurotransmitters that you may be low in and the reduction of those that may be high in order to establish neurochemical balance which produces mental health. For instance, some forms of anxiety are caused by high norepinephrine. The most common cause of high norepinephrine is low cortisol because the conversion of norepinephrine to epinephrine is a cortisol and SAMe dependent step. To remedy this condition, nutrients that bring up adrenal function by both healing them and preserving cortisol produced, as well as SAMe support would be prescribed to reduce norepinephrine and clear anxiety symptoms. TNT should be conducted under very controlled conditions and only after a substantial amount of detoxification has been accomplished. It is not productive to test an individual that has not cleared their body of stimulants, sugars, food chemicals, even the hormones in commercial meats because all these things influence results and make it impossible for the presiding practitioner to get a “baseline” read. However, when these tests are intelligently used and the patient properly prepares they are the most valuable asset we have in developing very sophisticated and accurate supplemental nutritional therapies that produce extremely favorable results and remedy the condition in a very short period of time. Once the body and mind have undergone a few weeks of biorepair and neuroendocrine balancing, the individual and his/her health care practitioner should consider the many mind/body energy healing therapies that offer continued support in entraining new biochemical pathways and building a new, health neuro-net within the brain. Mind/body energy healing can be acupuncture, biofeedback, EFT, spiritual pursuits etc. it is however, absolutely necessary to undergo biorepair first. A body and mind in chaos, depleted by toxicity and struggling with the neuroendocrine symptoms they suffer is not capable of “receiving” the sublime, yet very powerful, energies of the many very valuable mind/body energy healing therapies. However, once the “soil is made rich”, these therapies which deliver the individual to the “spiritual” aspects of healing can be extremely profound and produce life-changing events that provide a foundation for a life lived in the capacity it was designed to be enjoyed!
