Neurological Conditions

Our nerves are like an electrical cord. Anything that interferes with the electrical current through the cord will manifest as a neurological condition or disease. This could be from trauma, compression, nutrient deficiencies or toxicity like heavy metal, chemical or pesticide exposure. An illustration would be to similar to putting a 1000 pound weight on an electrical cord or cutting the cord with a weed eater. You are going to have difficulty getting electricity to the light bulb. This is no different with our neurological pathways.

What is needed first is to determine whether there is an actual physical impediment to the nerve, in the form of compression, in the spinal cord. If the compression is not relieved, then the nerve will not function normally. This can be determined by a MRI, CT scan or X-Ray. If there is no physical impediment, then we must determine the underlying cause from other determinant factors. Integrative medical doctors use many definitive tests that a conventional doctor may not ever order including heavy metal or a specific toxicity test that may show neurological toxicity. Often, because the nervous system is one of the deepest systems of the body, it will take time to effectively heal, regenerate and support this delicate system. By adhering to the protocols that are given every 2 months, over a year or two of work depending on the neurological disease, the body begins to detoxify and then rebuild itself. Nerves do grow much like bones: slowly. They take longer to heal and repair than with other systems in the body.

In medicine we know that the nervous system is the slowest system in the human body to repair. Statistically, the nervous system heals at approximately 1 millimeter per YEAR. Imagine if your skin healed this slowly that every time an individual had a wound, it would take 1 to 2 years for it to completely heal.

It is very important to understand that an individual with any debilitating neurological condition must be extremely patient to see results with any type of therapy. The patients, however, that do the work and invest their time, effort and energy in this process, will often achieve amazing results. We have patients that have had M.S., or strokes that have completely recovered. For this individual, their life has been recovered. Medication is merely palliative rather than curative and only manage the symptoms of a patient. Through this systematic method of healing and repair to the nervous system, there can be true healing. Headaches or vertigo are usually much simpler to treat than ASD or M.S. These are questions that can be asked of your doctor.
