In reply to Brain healing itself?, posted by Cseagraves on April 16, 2009, at 20:26:30
Can the brain heal itself? Well, I don't know. Maybe. Maybe not. Can the heart heal itself? Maybe with special diet and exercise some of the damage could be reversed? Could a damaged liver heal? Well, maybe with Milk Thistle and SAMe it could make a decent comeback. Can the eyes heal? Hmmm. Not sure about that. Well, you get my drift.
I think the potential is there to optimize what we have and to reverse damage.
Since the brain is a mystery, and actually most of modern medicine is, ways to improve and heal the brain are not fact. But some of the things that show up a lot are:
1. Omega3 fatty acid supplementation.
2. Anti-inflammatory diet.
3. Non-impact excercise.
4. Phosphatidyl Serene.
5. Acetyl-l-carnitine.
6. Meals and snacks that consist mostly of raw or barely cooked veggies and fruits, proteins from eggs, meats and nuts, and whole grain fiber...all of which are better if organically produced rather than synthetically produced.
7. Adherance to a regular sleep/wake cycle.
8. Any kind of stress reduction technique that works for you.
9. Pure filtered water, not tap water and not water in plastic bottles, making sure daily intake is generous.
10. Avoiding nervous system toxins such as amalgam fillings, any undo exposure to lead and mercury.And I am sure if we spoke to several naturpaths and integrative MDs the above list would be longer with a wider variety of supplements.
