If you are asking yourself, how one formula can address all neurotransmitters; because some neurotransmitters are probably functioning normally, the remedy will only affect the ones that are not in balance. That is the gift of homeopathic medicine; the body selects the remedy (or frequency) it needs and the other remedies that are not required will not work if the body / brain does not need them.

Stress and NeuroEndocrine Breakdown

Stress affects the body’s biological computer causing health issues and chemical imbalances. Determining and addressing the cause of stress is the most important factor in creating wellness.

Ten stressors can cause endocrine breakdown. The stressors are genetics, neurotransmitter dysfunction, dental abscess or issues, scar tissue, diet, infection (virus, bacteria), environmental toxins, medications including HRT, mind/emotions, and of course, the immune system. All of the above factors can cause significant adrenal stress and endocrine burnout.

Start diagnosis with an accurate assessment of stress by looking at meridian levels related to adrenal cortisol production. Since developing the Menopause, Nutrition & Lifestyle Monitor, thousands (before and after) case histories and programs have been studied, from mostly third-party patients. The five elements are tested along with hormones and a custom program is created, which includes an endocrine rebuilding diet, a list of important nutrients such as flax seed, primrose and borage oil and an immune formula according to results.

Due to inaccuracies testing, women are misdiagnosed placing them in the category of pre or post menopause, when they are just experiencing abnormal periods of stress.

The prominent field of Psycho-neuroimmunology has researched the effects of emotional stress on the human body to find that stress is an important factor in immune related problems. The marker used to measure stress is the adrenal steroid hormone cortisol. Since hormones are a powerful influence over all physical, intellectual and emotional behavior. Prolonged exposure to stress may be devastating to the body and mind.

My research indicates the incidence of low cortisol levels is more common than high cortisol levels. Although, an extremely elevated cortisol level will then plunge to a low level hours or days later. However, test results indicate that when two or more cortisol levels are elevated, there is a strong probability that the patient has diabetes or a genetic predisposition for it. If one cortisol level is elevated, it may indicate hypoglycemia. This can be treated most effectively with homeopathic formulas and diet. To the contrary, if HRT is used in this situation, it will act just like any hormone and create further stress. Think of the fact that when you administer insulin to a diabetic, the body then becomes dependent and lazy, eventually ceasing production of its own insulin.

I have observed patients tests results and their symptoms completely turn around in two to three months just by following my seven step program, which will be discussed in my new book “Revitalize Your Hormones: Dr. Dale’s 7 Steps to a Healthier, Happier and Sexier You”.

Neurotransmitters & Hormones

I look at neurotransmitters as the regulator of the biological computer, affecting thoughts, moods, hormones and overall mental, emotional and physical well being in humans. My challenge was to formulate a new homeopathic remedy, which would download new information that the biological computer uses to repair itself and balance all neurotransmitter.

In handling stress, the brain uses large quantities of certain chemicals called Neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters induce or inhibit impulses in your brain. At some point, the amount of stress we endure causes the brain to use up these chemicals. Many apparently unrelated the effects of neurotransmitters influence symptoms and optimizing neurotransmitters can improve many patient symptoms.

If your neurotransmitters are out of balance it can cause hormonal problems, adrenal stress, insomnia, weight gain, depression and the symptoms below.

Neurotransmitter Related Symptoms

• Fatigue and chronic muscle/joint pain
• Adrenal cortisol burnout
• Alzheimer’s/ memory problems
• Inappropriate hunger/food cravings
• Irritability/hostility
• Inability to focus/concentrate
• Depression or agitation
• Excessive body fat
• Obsessive/compulsive behaviors
• Sleep disturbances
• Physical or emotional stress
• Recurrent diarrhea /constipation
• Headaches
• ADD
• ADHD
• Parkinson’s Disease
• Bipolar Conditions
• Hot flashes
• Autism

The laboratory evaluation of neurotransmitter levels has shown that approximately 70% of the population has some degree of neurotransmitter imbalance. An alarming figure confirmed by the increase in the number of patient visits regarding these conditions, as well as the number of prescriptions written for antidepressants and the growing number of obese people who cannot combat their weight due to a lack of appetite control or adrenal burnout.

How do chemicals released by our own brain damage our bodies?

The body responds to emotional stress exactly as it responds to physical danger or stress. Your body produces chemicals for extra strength or energy. This chemical reaction to stress is a physiological process that has evolved over millions of years.

Moreover, the brain is reacting to today's problems with yesterday's primitive responses. In our history books we get the picture of times where our stressors related to engaging in physical battle to stay alive, to eat, to provide for oneself and family. Then stress was primarily physical - when cavemen actually fought wild animals. Today we have modern stress, which is a different nature. We don't do physical battle with wild beasts; we do mental battle with freeway traffic, unending meetings, or jobs that have no future.

The body has to pump high energy, but today we need more of it. Yet, the body still pumps high-energy chemicals (those needed in running or fighting) into our bodies and yet, our fight or flight is quite different. We sit in our cars or at our desk, actually boiling in the chemicals our own body has released. These chemicals, called adrenaline and dopamine, which power the "fight or flight" alarm reaction, can do great damage to all the internal organs, especially the heart.

Can our brain run out of these precious chemicals?

When our brain uses up these chemicals or when different chemical levels decrease or increase, we experience feelings such as anger and fear, perhaps a lack of sleep, irritability, anxiety, depression, insecure feelings. Not to mention the constant release of adrenaline, which can cause high blood pressure, heart disease, gastrointestinal disease and dozens of other problems. (Over 75% of all medical appointments made in America are directly related to stress caused illnesses.)

There are five main chemicals or neurotransmitters in the brains emotion center. They are Opioids, GABA, Serotonin, Dopamine and Norepinepherine. When these chemicals are low, a dangerous cycle begins within our bodies. This is called the Stress Cycle and the damage it causes is deadly.

I hope this information is empowering and give you an opportunity to see how easy your rejuvenation can be! There is no time like the present to get started on your healthy journey.
