NEUROTRANSMITTER DISEASES - Dan Carter - 2009.3.22 - Show #427

Track 1:

 

Introductions

 

What are neurotransmitter diseases?

 

• Chemical produced by the body between 2 nerve cells
  • If not enough - there is no healing
• It creates pain - doctors put people on antidepressants

 

Realize: we are all individuals

 

Explaining SSRI's and MNO's

Start Track 2: 21:50

 

Track 2:

 

Call about how can we get an imprisioned criminal to speak and change

 

Serotonin is Excito-

 

• but it is calming (bloodsugar drops)

 

Dopamine: Excito- and inhibitory transmitter

 

• when this is not enough - people get tremors
• Increase w/ L-dopa and carbo-dopa

 

Not enough Cholesterol - not enough vitamin D

Start Track 3: 40:46

 

Track 3: 

 

Build-up neurotransmitters w/ amino-acids

 

Exposure to heavy metals/ neurotoxins, lead, mercury, aluminum, herbicides/pesticides

 

Dr. Hinz: increase neurotoxins to resolve problem

 

But there are also periodical cases: where it doesn't work

 

What turns the switch off:

 

• Diet: not enough protein
  • increase off whole food - diet
• lower high fructose corn syrup (a lot of soft drinks)
• lack of vitamins (B6, B12, Folic Acid)

Track 5:

 

Effects of SSRI's and SNRI's

 

good treatment for a depression is essential

 

SSRI's 5975 people

 

• 7% did better on antidepressants than sugarpill (93%)
• so, VERY ineffective

 

These drugs deplete the neurotransmitters - total opposite of Dr. Hinz's work

 

"non" success rates of taking antidepressants for people over 65 years old

 

"non" success rates of taking antidepressants for teenagers

 

Antideprssants were tested on adults - so they never studied the effects on children

 

May 2007 - warnings on blackbox : expanding to ages 18-24

Track 6:

 

How to switch on:

 

• Lower carb-diet
• increased protein
• check metabolic typing diet
• whole foods are important
• amino acids (supplements) are important to turn NT on
• Should be medically supervised
  • just using 5-HTP depletes dopamine overtime
  • Just dopamine - depletes serotonin
  • Put on antidepressants ... relation to earlier tracks
• Only using L-Tyrosine or Dopa, or 5HTP - deplete sulphur containing amino acids in body
