Brain Health

How does the Brain function?

A Healthy Brain Your brain is made up of hundreds of billions of nerve cells (neurons) that work together beautifully when the brain is in a healthy state. Their fibers (axons & dendrites) form connections (synapses) with other nerve cells.

When a nerve cell is activated, it sends a low-level electrical current down its axon. This releases brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) that reach across the gaps between nerve cells and latch onto receptors. These patterns of chemical and electrical signals travel between the nerve cells in your brain. All your senses, thoughts and actions affect specific sets of nerve cells and brain chemicals.

TCM, Medical Herbalism & Brain Health*

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), practitioners believe the body can heal itself and improve circulation to hard to reach areas like the brain. Creating balance and harmony within the body is the goal of TCM and Medical Herbalism. The bodys mechanisms that affect circulation to the brain need support as well. In eastern medicine philosophies, promoting balance and good health can be better achieved through stress reduction activities (like yoga, tai chi or meditation), detoxification, adequate clean water, effective supplementation, healthy diet, exercise and other healthy and natural techniques.

Tips for a Healthy Brain

Most people do not spend much time thinking about how they can keep their brain mentally fit or improve its health. But, the health of the brain in actuality, is one of the most critical factors governing almost everything we do and thus needs improved support.*

All our daily actions and functions are controlled by our brain and the state of our brain-health controls how well we do. There are many steps we can take to ensure the health of our brain. Alzheimers disease, Parkinsons and Dementia are some examples of consequences of not taking care of it.*

Important Health Brain Support Methods:

Adequate sleep is a major factor in brain health. Here is additional information for individuals seeking sleep support.

Stress reduction and stress management protocols. Stress management can play an important role for the health of the brain. Click here for more information on supporting stress effectively.

Gentle and effective brain and body detoxification. As a person's body becomes too toxic, it can cause all sorts of problems. When over toxicity exists in the brain, it can cause all sorts of symptoms. This is why an effective and gentle detoxification program, such as our Detox Kit (Cell Saver and ACZ Nano Zeolite) can play a vital role in maintaining lifelong brain health.

"Patients are always surprised how much better their memory is, as well as having more focus and clarity once they remove toxins such as aluminum and mercury from their body and brain." (Dr. Graeme Shaw, MD. 2006).

Dr Graeme Shaw taught his patients that healthy brain supportive protocols should always include key dietary supplementation support such as Cell Saver since removing cellular toxins stored within the brain was crucial for healthy brain function. *

Many brain health protocols are void of an effective and gentle detoxification program, but for practitioners like Dr. Shaw, it was a priority.*

It is important to note, that for the first 1-2 weeks on a detox protocol, such as Get Well Natural's Detox Kit, a person can feel more fatigue as the first wave of toxins begin to flow out of the brain and body. That is why many people begin with smaller serving sizes for the first week or so to allow their body to ease into their detox protocol and minimize potential fatigue symptoms caused by those excreted toxins.*

Key nutrients known to help support a healthy brain may help especially for people whom may be deficient in those nutrients. Memory Pro, Protosorb Magnesium, ProThrivers Wellness Brain and Ion Gut are all products with nutrients known to support brain health (see these products at the bottom).*
