I searched “measuring neurotransmitter levels” and found reference to measuring urinary levels.

You can measure certain neurotransmitter levels in the blood and urine, however, 1) The amount in the blood or urine doesn’t tell you the amount in the brain. 2) There is no standard for an ideal level of neurotransmitters 3) blood and urine levels of neurotransmitters will vary dramatically from hour to hour. There is no definitive scientific study which says “depression is caused by this specific neurotransmitter level being below or above a specific level.”

Makes sense. If only there was a functional medicine lobby to rival the pharmaceutical lobby in Washington. I worked in a group home for developmentally disabled adults for 5 years and saw first hand the chemical restraint used to control their undesired behaviors. It’s pretty sad. So many problems in our country, it’s overwhelming at times.

unfortunately, it is far more profitable to treat symptoms with pharmaceuticals over an extended period of time than to cure the problem and the need for pharmaceuticals. Every time a problem is cured through nutrition or alternative health or life style changes, Pharma loses money.

It would be very ground-breaking to the average MD, who knows very little about the role of nutrition in maintaining health.

The best thing I’ve found for the physical side of depression is the Omeaga-3 EPA, plus lots of therapy for the other parts.

Very interesting. I know people who can’t read that never bother with labels.

actually he is a Chiropractic Physician… he knows it stuff quite well.

would you then side with the insurance companies who refuse pharmaceutical treatments? For prescriptions meds, it seems pharmaceutical and insurance companies would be at odds with each other.

chiropractors have excellent training programs and for all but the serious of illnesses (source:mercola(dot)com/newdoctor)

A great video. 5 Stars. People need to start taking control of their own health by learning more about natural or “alternative” medicine.

This is what everyone needs to realize that
our western medicine only treats the symptoms
but does not deal with the real problem to begin with.While all drugs are toxic, I believe in alternatives that fix the problem
while not creating many new problems called side effects.What we are doing with health care today is for example we dont want to pay a few dollars to change the oil in the car and wait untill the entire engine needs to be replaced.Think abut this.

He does not mention about mental state of people/mental stress-anger,resentment, hate fear etc/which is the most importent of all/If person is happy perfect health follows/

True, except if you have hidden infections or toxicity from mercury or pesticides, or if you have a nutrient poor diet your positive mental state is under attack from more than just emotional issues. Functional Medicine also includes mind-body – attacking the problem from both ends – although you are correct that he omitted that.

Check out “The UltraMind Solution” by
Mark Hyman MD or how to “fix a broken brain”
by treating depression & anxiety AS SYSTEMIC CONDITIONS, not strictly as mental illnesses.
He talks a lot about using magnesium in treating anxiety/ depression. He might use IV magnesium injection b/c that is the best delivery. The 2nd best delivery is by using the skin. It’s called
transdermal magnesium chloride in a foot bath
for 1/2 hr. Unlike Epsom salts it will last 24 hrs
by relaxing the body & mind.
