Three Keys To Brain Health And Healing Leaky Gut Syndrome
Posted by Dr. Karl R.O.S. Johnson, DC on Mon, Jun 16, 2014
When it comes to brain health, one thing is nearly certain; we can all state we know an adult with the top 4 signs of neurodegeneration:
1. Anxiety2. Depression
3. Insomnia
4. Brain Fog
Decreased brain health=nuerodegeneration=poorer quality of life and increased stress on ourselves and those that love us.
Make no mistake, your brain health is one area of your health you don't want to leave to chance or to emergency care. My own mother had dementia as did my maternal grandmother which worsened during the last decade of their life. Waiting until this late stage will leave you with little to no options.
Fortunately for me, my insatiable desire to discover the underlying factors to ill health in my family tree led to the discovery of several helpful preventative measures that you can use too.

Fibromyalgia, Chronic Pain, Anxiety, ADD and Your Brain

If you are suffering with fibromyalgia, chronic pain, anxiety, or ADD; science shows us you can get help, naturally, without drugs. Let me explain how.
When you have a weak muscle, you can exercise it to make it stronger, as long as the muscle is not permanently damaged. Of course you have to be specific in what muscle you want to target with exercise and how you perform the exercise. For example if your right bicep muscle is weak, you wouldn't perform abdominal crunches because the abdominal muscles have nothing to do with your biceps.

Posted by Dr. Karl R.O.S. Johnson, DC on Thu, Dec 12, 2013
Mercury toxicity is the great mimicker of a host of health challenges.
Here is a sample of what one should know about mercury toxicity.
1: Mercury is known to denervate nerve fibers, similar to the pathology of multiple sclerosis. In other words it makes it so the nerves do not work.
3: Mercury can inhibit the action (binding) of happy hormones, like serotonin, at the synapse (nerve to nerve connection) leading to depression.
4: Mercury can cause hearing loss.
