Dr Frank Shallenberger says, “Most dementia is due to low thyroid!” Don’t accept forgetfulness as normal aging. “Not one cell in your body can do anything without thyroid.” The major chemicals in the brain control our moods, emotions and how we feel. When the brain is not functioning to it’s fullest, it can cause problems for the entire body. Neurotransmitter ‘breakdown’ can be cured in 6 – 9 months with Amino Acids, he says. Consider also DHEA and Cortisol, and the sex hormones, plus Seretonin and Estrogen, and how they affect one another. Neurotransmitters need the Vit B’s. And perhaps Seretonin, Dopamine, Gaba and Endorphines. Alternatives for good sleep include: Valarian root, Niacinamide, Melatonin and St John’s Wort.
