Why Nutritional Psychiatry is the Future of Mental Health Treatment

Why Nutritional Psychiatry is the Future of Mental Health Treatment
A lack of essential nutrients is known to contribute to the onset of poor mental health in people suffering from anxiety and depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and ADHD. Nutritional psychiatry is a growing discipline that focuses on the use of food and supplements to provide these essential nutrients as part of an integrated or alternative treatment for mental health disorders. But nutritional approaches for these debilitating conditions are not widely accepted by mainstream medicine. Treatment options tend to be limited to official National Institute for Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines which recommend talking therapies and antidepressants. Use of antidepressants Antidepressant use has more than doubled in recent years. A recent Oxford University study found that antidepressants were more effective in treating depression than placebo. This approach suggests that poor mental health caused by social conditions is viewed as easily treated by simply dispensing drugs.

Selon la médecine chinoise, le choc émotionnel serait à l'origine de toutes les maladies Le 30 Janvier 2018. Image crédit : Pixabay Même dans la Chine ancienne, les médecins savaient que les émotions avaient un fort impact sur le corps humain. Selon la médecine chinoise, la cause sous-jacente de toutes les maladies sont les émotions, et chaque organe possède ses propres émotions. On appelle l’énergie Chi et elle est codépendante du sang, donc les médecins chinois disent que les sang est la mère de l’énergie et que l’énergie est le maître du sang. Les reins sont l’un des organes les plus importants selon la médecine chinoise, car ils représentent la base du yin et du yang et sont l’un des centres énergétiques les plus importants de notre corps. Le foie est lié au sang, il filtre le sang et est généralement traité en cas de troubles du cycle menstruel chez les femmes.

Can food change your mood? | Life and style In medieval times people believed that what they ate affected their mood. If they wanted erotic stimulation it would be eggs, beef, pomegranates or peacock. Feeling down? They’d reach for quince, dates and elderflowers. Research carried out by a team led by Lina Begdache, assistant professor of health and wellness studies at Binghamton, New York, found that young adults (under 30) who ate fast food more than three times a week scored higher on levels of mental distress. For adults over 30, the study found that eating less carbohydrate and more fruit reduced anxiety and depression. Studies point to a Mediterranean diet being as good for your brain as your body.

How To Improve Your Eyesight Naturally [Note: This is Part IX in a series of articles adapted from the second Children’s Health Defense eBook: Conflicts of Interest Undermine Children’s Health. The first eBook, The Sickest Generation: The Facts Behind the Children’s Health Crisis and Why It Needs to End, described how children’s health began to worsen dramatically in the late 1980s following fateful changes in the childhood vaccine schedule.] The vaccine industry and its government and scientific partners routinely block meaningful science and fabricate misleading studies about vaccines. They could not do so, however, without having enticed medical journals into a mutually beneficial bargain. Journals are willing to accept even the most highly misleading advertisements. An exclusive and dependent relationship Advertising is one of the most obviously beneficial ways that medical journals’ “exclusive and dependent relationship” with the pharmaceutical industry plays out.

How to increase serotonin in the human brain without drugs Papillomavirus : un champignon guérit les femmes au bout de 6 mois ! Autres articles Papillomavirus : un champignon guérit les femmes au bout de 6 mois ! Chère lectrice, cher lecteur, En écrivant ces lignes, je pense aux 368 725 personnes (!) qui ont eu le courage de signer la pétition du Professeur Joyeux contre la vaccination massive des petites filles contre les papillomavirus. En ajoutant leur nom à la liste, ces personnes ont du faire face au mépris, aux railleries, aux agressions verbales parfois, des partisans de la vaccination d’enfants à tout prix. Pourtant elles n’ont pas eu peur de leur dire : Que ces vaccins (appelés Gardasil et Cervarix) ne protègent pas du tout à 100 % contre le cancer du col de l’utérus. The Blessings And Destruction Wrought By Lead Over Millennia Everyone one of us is likely aware of what lead — as in the metal — is. Having a somewhat dull, metallic gray appearance, it occupies atomic number 82 in the periodic table and is among the most dense materials known to humankind. Lead’s low melting point and malleability even when at room temperature has made it a popular metal since humans first began to melt it out of ore in the Near East at around 7,000 BC in the Neolithic period. Although lead’s toxicity to humans has been known since at least the 2nd century BC and was acknowledged as a public health hazard in the late 19th century, the use of lead skyrocketed in the first half of the 20th century. Lead saw use as a gasoline additive beginning in the 1920s, and the US didn’t abolish lead-based paint until 1978, nearly 70 years after France, Belgium and Austria banned it. In this article I’ll examine the question of why we are still using lead, and if we truly must, then how we can use this metal in the safest way possible.
