Look how 2 vitamins and 1 amino acid can affect psychiatric health and many doctors and psychologists don't even know about it:
➡️ One neuron does not touch another: in this way, when the brain wants to activate a neuronal pathway, neurotransmitters are released at the site of the connection between the neurons of that neuronal pathway in order to bridge the gap and allow the nervous (electrical) stimulus to pass through and move on. The main general neurotransmitters involved in emotions and sensations discussed here are serotonin, dopamine and noradrenaline.
➡️ These neurotransmitters, after making this bridge, are either degraded or reuptaken by the neurons that released them, through proteins called transporters. In other words, what most influences the neuronal connection is the quantity of these transporters, which is controlled by 2 basic processes: methylation and acetylation.
➡️ Methylation is favored by the amino acid methionine (or better still by its most active form, SAMe) and acetylation by niacin (Vitamin B3) and folates (Vitamin B9): acetylation increases the amount of transporters and methylation decreases it in neurons. In other words, basically speaking, the less methylation, the more transporters will remove the aforementioned neurotransmitters from the synaptic clefts, thus facilitating the occurrence and/or greater severity of processes such as depression, anxiety to panic, neuroses, psychoses and schizophrenia.
➡️ In other words, the balance between the processes of acetylation and methylation is key to psychological and psychiatric health and depends fundamentally on the balance between very basic nutrients, which is still underestimated by traditional medicine!
➡️ Do you know the most commonly used psychiatric drugs out there? They simply act on the reuptake or degradation of neurotransmitters and not on the production of transporters! In other words, how many people out there may not basically need a balance of these nutrients, through supplements or even diet, in order to obtain relief and even a cure for sometimes serious psychiatric conditions?
➡️ What I've explained is pure orthomolecular medicine, for the benefit of humanity. I hope your health professional studies this...
