My latest Blog on Brain & Body Health
Did you know what’s good for your brain is also good for your body? At least, according to Dr. Amen, MD. Dr. Amen is a psychiatrist who uses SPECT scans to visulaize how the brain FUNCTIONS. In other words, he looks at the brain’s activity and its neural pathways, not just the structure of the brain. He has performed more than 50,000 scans, and uses various techniques which include lifestyle modifications, nutritional support, supplements, and medication, in order to assist and achieve balance in the brain’s biochemistry. The results are profound.
I have been studying his techniques, specifically incorporating some neurotransmitter balancing protocols, and have seen the results turn around many of my patients a lot quicker than other modalities. Still, do we need all this fancy biochemistry to have healthy brains? Although it’s fun, what is the easiest and best secret for both brain and body health may surprise you.

Update on CODEX-Supplements Excluded!
The FDA Food Modernization Act (S. 510), also referred to as the “Food Safety” bill, has been modified to exempt dietary supplements from language that otherwise creates a slippery slope toward U.S. harmonization with Codex Alimentarius. ANH-USA worked to protect the natural health community from this dangerous provision that threatened access to high quality, therapeutic supplement doses by working with key senators to modify the language, now for the second time.

Bonus Link: New England Journal of Medicine Claims Niacin over an additional Statin Drug
Excerpt: Together, the results available to date provide support for the concept that the use of statins to reduce LDL cholesterol to target levels with the subsequent addition of a drug to raise HDL cholesterol levels (niacin), rather than a drug to lower LDL cholesterol levels (ezetimibe), is a more effective treatment for patients at high cardiovascular risk. Two well-powered studies of clinical end points — AIM-HIGH (Atherothrombosis Intervention in Metabolic Syndrome with Low HDL/High Triglycerides and Impact on Global Health Outcomes; NCT00120289[ClinicalTrials.gov] ) and HPS2-THRIVE (HeartProtection Study 2: Treatment of HDL to Reduce the Incidence of Vascular Events; NCT00461630 [ClinicalTrials.gov] ) — will provide additional, pivotal information regarding the current hypothesis that theaddition of niacin to statin therapy leads to a further reduction of the frisk of clinical events in our patients.
