Environmental Medicine Therapy for Brain Injuries

Genetics and Environment have crucial roles to play in certain brain injuries and movement disorders. There is more and more evidence for chemicals in the environment having an impact on brain functioning. These chemicals include:

• Solvents (like PCB’s, DDT’s, Benzenes, Toluenes, chlorobenzenes,)
• Heavy Metals (like Lead, Mercury, Antimony, Arsenic, Tin)
• Dioxins
• Pesticides

We are only now beginning to have some clarity of the extensive damages that can be caused by these harmful chemicals and their mechanism of action. A good detailed evaluation along with possible laboratory workup can help to uncover if these harmful chemicals are related to your disorder. I have worked for many years in evaluating and clearing out these harmful chemicals that are stored and continually causing damage in our brain. It must be noted that these chemicals store in fat tissues and our brain consists in chemistry of around 60% fat composition.

It is therefore a real stress that can significantly affect our brain functioning. Patients who have been evaluated by me for having these harmful chemicals have been put on programs to help mobilize and excrete these from stored tissues. These programs alone can have shown to have significant improvements in these patients.
