The brain is a "biochemical factory". Given the proper supply of building blocks (essential fatty acids, phophatidylcholine) and co-factors (vitamins, minerals and other nutrients), the brain creates biochemical processes essential for normal brain function. Imbalances can alter brain levels of key neurotransmitters, disrupt epigenetic regulation of synapse activity, and cripple the body's protection against environmental toxins. Based on genetics and epigenetics, individuals are biochemically unique and therefore, a comprehensive analysis is required to normalize the blood and brain levels of these chemicals. By understanding science-based biochemical "biotypes", nutrient therapy treatment aims to heal the brain and correct biochemical imbalances.
Advanced Nutrient Therapy is based on a comprehensive medical evaluation with a thorough diagnosis of the patient's clinical history, observation of behavior, mood and physical symptoms including a brief physical examination. Clinical laboratory testing is ordered and evaluated to further determine the patient's individual nutritional deficiencies and overloads. Based on concrete evidence, testing validity and reproducibility, our physicians are able to formulate a treatment plan with the proper dosing of specific nutrients required to repair and restore brain health. Current medications and supplement interactions is also evaluated.
Advanced Nutrient Therapy is based on the fact that while a healthy diet is important, it cannot compensate the adequate amount of nutrients that the brain needs to function and taking the dosages daily is paramount to achieve optimal well being.
Advanced Nutrient Therapy is based on the long-term vigorous research and successful clinical application by outstanding scientists and physicians including Abram Hoffer, M.D., Ph.D., Carl Pfeiffer, M.D., Ph.D., William Walsh, PhD. Their work found that biochemical imbalances are the underlying cause of behaviors found in many common learning, mood and behavioral illnesses — AD(H)D, autism, behavior disorders, depression, bipolar, schizophrenia, Parkinson and Alzheimer's disease. These conditions can be successfully treated with using high doses of selected nutritional supplements in many of patients with above conditions.
Tao physicians work closely with Walsh Research Institute and Mensah Medical updating therapies and protocols, initiating new, and cutting-edge paradigms.
