Last week I wrote the first of a series of articles regarding the number one complaint that women voice when coming to see Dr. Gabhart, who specializes in hormone balancing: loss of mental cognition. See http://rosiebrownrn.com/are-you-losing-your-edge/ and www.whitneygabhartnd.com.
In continuing my study of the work of Eric R. Braverman, M.D., there is so much hope contained in his following statement:
“These medical, neurological, and psychiatric conditions related to loss of brain speed can cascade into obesity, anxiety, depression, psychosis, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson’s Disease; 50 percent of Americans will have developed some degree of impairment from dementia or Alzheimer’s disease by age eighty, and 80 percent will do so by ninety. Fortunately, most of these diseases are preventable once you learn to keep your brain in top condition.”
What the research is demonstrating is that most psychiatric problems are not caused by emotional factors, but rather by brain chemicals. Brain biochemical imbalances appear to be the cause of disease.
When a person is living, there is electricity conducted and processed through the brain. At death, the electricity ceases to flow. “The brain’s electrical function as it processes biochemicals is the basis of brain health.”
The key to effective electricity flow are four “biochemical neurotransmitters”:
1) Dopamine
2) Acetylcholine
3) GABA
4) Serotonin
Dr. Braverman teaches, “Today we know that good health requires that for any given body function, all four neurotransmitters must be processed in a specific order and in precise amounts.”
A common symptom that women with hormone imbalance experience is “foggy thinking” or the inability to remember things.
My own personal experience validates Dr. Braverman’s work : “Lapses in memory are not an inevitable consequence of aging. They are a concrete indication of brain chemical deficiencies, and they can be reversed.”
I know, Dr. Gabhart knows, and all the women she has helped know, yes, foggy thinking can be reversed.
Tomorrow’s article will focus on the question, “Why do we have unbalanced brains?”
