Evidence of criminal conspiracy
Generation Rx reveals startling evidence detailing the criminal negligence of the FDA. | Kevin Trudeau See book keywords and concepts | Doctors will say that the child's brain chemistry is not right, and he needs a drug to fix the imbalance in the brain chemistry. The drug may have some short-term effects on balancing the brain chemistry, but the question that was missed is WHY the brain chemistry was unbalanced to begin with. What caused the chemical imbalance? If this was asked, we almost always find that food allergies, excitotoxins such as MSG and aspartame, and food additives are to blame. | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | In that article, I explained, "If you're going to alter the brain chemistry of these children, you had better be prepared for the results. The result we're seeing now is mass killings. Elsewhere around the world, where children aren't doped up on all these drugs, we don't see this kind of behavior. This is what happens when you change children's brain chemistry; you get these results..."
The very next day, we published a report about the anti-depressant drug Paxil doubling the risk of violent behavior.

It's when you alter the brain chemistry that bad things start to happen.
Boosting brain health with nutrition
Now, are there healthy ways to alter brain chemistry? Of course there are. Fundamentally, this is actually a nutritional problem. If a child is depressed, or if he or she is suffering from so-called ADHD -- which is a completely fictional disease, by the way -- you can resolve the vast majority of these issues by making changes in their diet. | Jack Challem See book keywords and concepts | Nutritious foods lay a foundation for long-term health, whereas supplements jump-start and fine-tune your brain chemistry.
My Ten Guidelines for Mood-Enhancing Eating Habits
Guideline 1. Eat a Little Protein at Each Meal
Here s why: Protein stabilizes blood sugar, lessens appetite, and reduces the amount of food you subsequently consume. More stable blood sugar levels protect you from mood swings and fatigue. By helping to control appetite, protein will promote weight loss and reduce your risk of developing diabetes. | Tori Hudson, N.D. See book keywords and concepts | Treatment should provide symptom relief while also addressing any need for lifestyle changes and treating problems in the neuroendocrine connections (central nervous system brain chemistry as it is affected by estrogen and progesterone in particular). of women. PMDD includes a minimum of five specific symptoms that occur during the latter part of the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, right before the onset of menses. | Jacky Law See book keywords and concepts | If our brain chemistry can change how we think, as evidence from the SSRIs suggests, then how we think can also affect healthy brain chemistry, especially when one considers the vast potential of out mind. 'There are more cell meeting points in a human brain than there are stars in our galaxy,' Ian Robertson said in his book, Mind Sculpture.
Everything which makes up 'you' - memories and hopes, pain and pleasure, morals and malevolence - is embroidered in a trembling web of 100 billion brain cells. | Charles Barber See book keywords and concepts | Whatever it is that SSRIs do to change brain chemistry, it happens almost immediately after they are ingested. The neurochemical changes are quick. However, SSRIs typically take weeks, even months, to have any therapeutic influence. Why the delay? No one had any explanation, until the late 1990s, when Ronald Duman, a researcher at Yale, showed that antidepressants actually grow brain cells in the hippocampus, a part of the brain associated with memory and mood regulation. | Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D. See book keywords and concepts | If all depression were the same, then CFS patients with depression should have the same brain chemistry as people with depression alone, and this is not the case. This means that all depression is not the same. Like CFS and FM, depression itself is a syndrome and may have many different causes. Therefore, having the diagnosis of depression in the face of major problems with fatigue or pain may not be the same as having the diagnosis of depression without these symptoms. Psychiatrists usually view the combination of depression with medically unexplained symptoms as just a variant of depression. | John J. Ratey, MD See book keywords and concepts | It's impossible to say where the gap is in Patty's brain chemistry, for example, but there's no question that exercise helps close it. "It's almost like I'm in a fog before my period," she says. "I could take my ADHD medication, and it won't do a damn thing. Exercise helps clear my head."
RESTORING BALANCE
Exercise isn't necessarily the only answer if you suffer from PMS, but it can dramatically reduce the symptoms and give you a handle on a part of life that feels beyond your control. And with a lifestyle change, medication may not be necessary. | | I appealed to her knowledge of medicine and explained how exercise could change her brain chemistry and rewire connections in the pathways controlling her mood, aggression, and attention as well as her addiction. After reading several of the studies I've included in this book, she committed to giving daily exercise a try, and she quit smoking marijuana again. "There was no alternative," she says. "I had to do something. | | This is the study I photocopy for patients who are skeptical of the idea that exercise changes their brain chemistry enough to help their depression, because it puts the issue in terms that are as black-and-white as psychiatry can hope to deliver, at least for now. The results should be taught in medical school and driven home with health insurance companies and posted on the bulletin boards of every nursing home in the country, where nearly a fifth of the residents have depression. If everyone knew that exercise worked as well as Zoloft, I think we could put a real dent in the disease. | Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S. See book keywords and concepts | It's no wonder, then, that studies show that vitamin B6 plays an important role in the management of autism, as this condition has been linked to alterations in normal brain chemistry. Autism, a spectrum of developmental disorders of the brain that appears in early childhood, can be mild to severe and is usually accompanied by symptoms of impaired social interaction and diminished or absent communication skills, as well as unusual behaviors. Though we don't know exactly how, neurotransmitters are undoubtedly involved. | Tori Hudson, N.D. See book keywords and concepts | Job stress, relationship loss, child care, parent care, or medical problems can alter brain chemistry and sleep patterns. Insomnia can also be a result of sleep-related disordered breathing due to snoring or apnea, chronic pain such as arthritis or fibromyalgia, thyroid conditions, restless leg syndrome, asthma, or medications.
Mood Swings, Depression, and Anxiety.
The psychological conditions associated with menopause have been a source of conflicting scientific data and controversy. | Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S. See book keywords and concepts | Regardless of its effect on other brain chemicals, supplemental 5-HTP surely increases serotonin, and because of that, has a calming, relaxing effect on brain chemistry. It's used for mild and moderate depression and it also may help you sleep better. Why? Because at night, serotonin converts into melatonin (see page 63), which is important for a great night's sleep.
For some people, 5-HTP may perform equally to or better than standard antidepressant drugs and in most cases, without side effects. One study compared 5-HTP to fluvoxamine, an SSRI like Prozac, Paxil, and Zoloft. | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | If you're going to alter the brain chemistry of these children, you had better be prepared for the results. The result we're seeing now is mass killings. Elsewhere around the world, where children aren't doped up on all these drugs, we don't see this kind of behavior. This is what happens when you change children's brain chemistry; you get these results.
Now, you can talk about other factors that may be involved. We can talk about violent video games, for example, and how some of these first-person shooter games are potentially training simulators for violent and aggressive behavior. | Jack Challem See book keywords and concepts | Because these drugs are not normal constituents of brain chemistry, they can often strain the biochemical pathways involved in neurotransmitter production. This strain results when certain chemical reactions are artificially sped up, while others remain slow. The situation is somewhat like cooking meat, vegetables, and rice to serve at the same meal. You want all three dishes to be ready at the same time, without one being done earlier or later than the others. Similarly, the timing of a car engine is essential—if the idle is set too high or too low, the engine's performance will suffer. | | How Life's Stresses Do a Number on Your Moods
I h ood nutrition may underpin normal brain chemistry, moods, and behavior, but our eating habits don't exist in a vacuum. Rather, they are shaped by many nutrisocial factors, including upbringing, education, peer pressure, food advertising, and how much (or how little) time we have to cook and eat. We may not be able to alter these nutrisocial forces; however, once we are aware of them, we can limit their impact on us and on our family members. | | What else you should know: Although vitamin B2 (riboflavin) does not have a consistent link to mood problems, it is essential for normal brain chemistry. Low levels of vitamin B2 increase susceptibility to migraine headaches, and, as you might expect, vitamin B2 has been found helpful in reducing the frequency of migraine headaches.
Dosage: To prevent migraine headaches, take 400 mg daily, along with a B-complex supplement. | | Sound eating habits provide a strong foundation for optimal brain chemistry, whereas supplements strengthen specific biochemical processes that affect mood and behavior.
In this chapter, I describe my dietary guidelines, offer sample recipes, and outline a two-week menu plan. I recommend that you eat mostly nutrient-dense foods—by doing so, you will consume the highest concentration of good nutrition per bite or calorie. The alternative, which is not desirable, is eating calorie-dense foods that are high in sugar or simple carbohydrate starches, without any redeeming nutritional value. | | There are several reasons, some of which are chemical and others psychological (but that, in turn, improve brain chemistry). They're all good examples of the body-mind connection.
• Physical activity reduces stress-related neurotransmitters, including Cortisol and epinephrine (adrenaline).
• Physical activity increases the production of endorphins, brain chemicals that enhance mood.
• Physical activity improves how your body uses insulin and glucose, which lessens mood swings.
• Physical activity increases muscle, which is the best type of tissue for burning glucose and fat. | Kevin Trudeau See book keywords and concepts | The drug may have some short-term effects on balancing the brain chemistry, but the question that was missed is WHY the brain chemistry was unbalanced to begin with. What caused the chemical imbalance? If this was asked, we almost always find that food allergies, excitotoxins such as MSG and aspartame, and food additives are to blame. With simple dietary adjustments the brain chemistry becomes balanced, and the child, in a matter of days, is no longer hyperactive and his attention span is back to normal.
Another example is when a person has pain, a doctor will give a drug to suppress the pain. | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | Be sure to visit my interactive Disease Mongering Engine to invent your own fictitious brain chemistry diseases right now, just like the drug companies do!)
Evidence of criminal conspiracy
Generation Rx reveals startling evidence detailing the criminal negligence of the FDA. The highly corrupt Food and Drug Administration didn't "accidentally" approve psychotropic drugs that just happened to kill children, you see: The administration knew that SSRI drugs (antidepressants) were killing children for well over ten years! | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | Soon, mandatory mental health screening programs will sweep across America, and anyone who displays independent thinking, creative ideas or even the slightest hint of stress might be carted off to a mental institution where they will be forced to undergo brain chemistry "rebalancing" at the whim of a psychiatrist who earns a commission on every pill he forces you to swallow.
Sound far-fetched? Don't jump to innocent conclusions. You probably have no idea how far Big Pharma will go to turn human beings into customers. Drugging the entire nation with patented chemicals is only part of the goal. | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | There is no rational, scientific explanation for the explosion in diagnoses of such brain chemistry diseases, nor is there any rigorous examination of other potential causes for unhappiness such as poor dietary practices, chemical exposure, chronic environmental stress or just simply the fact that life is sometimes an emotional roller coaster, and that's perfectly normal.
What used to be just a normal unhappy moment or episode of sadness is now described by drug-pushing psychiatrists as a disease requiring chemical treatment. | | The massive scientific fraud behind the sickness industry
It is altogether curious that these "brain chemistry diseases" like ADHD and bipolar just happened to emerge in the population immediately after the drug companies started advertising drugs to treat them. If you are to believe the hucksters pushing these drugs today, diseases like ADHD and depression have spontaneously appeared in tens of millions of children and dogs. |
