Neurotransmitter Depletion Disorders

Neurotransmitters are the natural chemicals found in the nervous system of the body.  Neurotransmitters facilitate and regulate the transfer of electrical energy between the nerve cells (neurons) of the nervous system.

Some disease and illnesses are caused by low levels of neurotransmitters that are too low to facilitate the proper transfer of electrical energy between neurons.

A partial listing of diseases caused by low level neurotransmitters

  • Parkinson's Disease
  • Obesity
  • Bulimia
  • Anorexia
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Panic Attacks
  • Migrane Headaches
  • Tension Headaches
  • Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)
  • Menopausal Symptoms
  • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
  • Impusivity
  • Obsession
  • Insomnia
  • Inappropriate Anger
  • Inappropriate Aggression
  • Psychotic Illness
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
  • Adrenal Fatigue / Burnout
  • Hyperactivity
  • ADHD / ADD
  • Hormone Dysfunction
  • Adrenal Dysfunction
  • Dementia
  • Alzheimer's Disease
  • Traumatic Brain Injury
  • Phobias
  • Chronic Pain
  • Nocturnal Myoclonus
  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome
  • Crohn's Disease
  • Ulcerative Colitis
  • Cognitive Deterioration
  • Organ System Dysfunction
  • Chronic Stress
  • Cortisol Dysfunction

At present, the standard in medicine for treatment of neurotransmitter diseases is prescription drugs.  The prescription drugs can further deplete neurotransmitters in most patients, making the real cause of problem worse.

Drugs that Can Deplete Neurotransmitter levels

  • Prozac
  • Zoloft
  • Paxil
  • Celexa
  • Lexapro
  • Luvox
  • Trazodone (Deseryl)
  • Sinequan (Doxepin)
  • Serzone
  • Effexor
  • Maxalt
  • Amerge
  • Amitriptyline (Elavil)
  • Meridia
  • Phendimetrazin (Bontril)
  • Phenylpropanolamine (Dexatrim)
  • Tenuate
  • Mazindol
  • Alcohol (ETOH)
  • Nicotine
  • Imitrex
  • Zomig
  • Wellbutrin (Zyban)
  • Thioridazine (Mylan)

Neurotransmitters are taken in by neurons and are put in the store of the pre-synaptic neurons. While in the store, neurotransmitters are safe from enzyme breakdown and excretion by the kidneys.

Prescription drugs work by moving neurotransmitters out of the safety of the stores into the synapse. As the number of neurotransmitter molecules increases, there is also an increase in the enzymatic breakdown of neurotransmitters.

If the nutrients needed to build neurotransmitters are not properly increased when patients are treated with prescription drugs, the net effect results in further depletion of the neurotransmitters. This causes patients who are already suffering from diseases caused by low level neurotransmitters to further suffer.

When prescription drugs further deplete neurotransmitters, drugs become ineffective and disease symptoms return.

Prescription drugs do not increase the overall number of neurotransmitters molecules in the brain (central nervous system). They merely move neurotransmitters around, which eventually causes neurotransmitter levels to further drop.

The only way to truly raise the overall neurotransmitter levels in the brain is through the intake of specific nutrients such as amino acids, vitamins, and minerals in a balanced combination are used to target your specific neurotransmitter imbalance.

This is a very safe and effective treatment for neurotransmitter depletion disorders. The effectiveness is 100% in the treatment of depression, and 90%+ in treatment of Migraine Headaches.
