Alternative Health - Functional Medicine

[DifferentKind0fSmart]

People in general feel under the weather MAINLY because of today's diet and technology. We can in fact? be affected by the weather/frequency/phones, etc...chemicals in the brain are altered (we're energy).

Simple put our body can mimic a battery..any type of inconsistent charge can result in body unbalances. As with certain intake of food

which our body can't tolerate.

That being said...I Can't stress enough how important mobility is..we're built to MOVE!

Some great points about the benefits of holistic medicine vs. traditional Western medicine. For a great introductory book on holistic healing I recommend Focus on Healing: Holistic Self-help for Medical Illness by Jennifer Barraclough. Excellent resource for all.

There are multiple sites and videos on Youtube explaining how each portion of the Beck Protocol functions to help those suffering from viral diseases and has personally helped me with my CFS. Visit the Unleash Health site and channel for more information on the Protocol and therapy!

Thank you!

Time to change our path through awareness and education! Will you be a guest on my internet radio show? My husband has been in remission (Sarcoidosis) for 19 months now through functional medicine and natural remedies! Look forward to hearing from you.

Fuctional Medicines main goal is to make sure your ATM is functional for all the tests and the vitamins you are going to have to buy to get yourself functional, as a whole person, as in a whole lot of money.

[EuphoricLiquid]

"chemical incarceration" well put.

[civver3]

SCAM proponents are hilarious.

[deetsjazz]

could you be more specific?

[wycieczka1]

He does not mention about mental state of people/mental stress-anger,resentment, hate fear etc/which is the most importent of all/If person is happy perfect health follows/

[greggb777]

wycieczka1

True, except if you have hidden infections or toxicity from mercury or pesticides, or if you have a nutrient poor diet your positive mental state is under attack from more than just emotional issues. Functional Medicine also includes mind-body - attacking the problem from both ends - although you are correct that he omitted that.

Check out "The UltraMind Solution" by

Mark Hyman MD or how to "fix a broken brain"

by treating depression & anxiety AS SYSTEMIC CONDITIONS, not strictly as mental illnesses.

He talks a lot about using magnesium in treating anxiety/ depression. He might use IV magnesium injection b/c that is the best delivery. The 2nd best delivery is by using the skin. It's called

transdermal magnesium chloride in a foot bath

for 1/2 hr. Unlike Epsom salts it will last 24 hrs

by relaxing the body & mind.

[miggerish]

Thank you for spreading the information to help people!

[muzicaljeanyus]

As a CAM provider (massage) I VERY VERY VERY thankful for the information and all the vids I'ma adding you as a friend on "myspace" and subscribing to your channel....Very valuable info I recommend EVERYONE do the same...again thank you very much!!

[swflgrrl]

Thank you so much for this very relevant information. I'm leaving my psychiatrist of 12years in order to find a doc near me who practices functional medicine.

[kevinbell12345]

This is a good video. I like it very much. Aslo a site called pubspa has many interesting vidoes, useful information and knowldge.

[verdegumby]

This is what everyone needs to realize that

our western medicine only treats the symptoms

but does not deal with the real problem to begin with.While all drugs are toxic, I believe in alternatives that fix the problem

while not creating many new problems called side effects.What we are doing with health care today is for example we dont want to pay a few dollars to change the oil in the car and wait untill the entire engine needs to be replaced.Think abut this.

[iHealthTube]

A great video. 5 Stars. People need to start taking control of their own health by learning more about natural or "alternative" medicine.

[itsrtime]

Very interesting. I know people who can't read that never bother with labels.

[JimmyK76]

Makes sense. If only there was a functional medicine lobby to rival the pharmaceutical lobby in Washington. I worked in a group home for developmentally disabled adults for 5 years and saw first hand the chemical restraint used to control their undesired behaviors. It's pretty sad. So many problems in our country, it's overwhelming at times.

[psychetruth]

unfortunately, it is far more profitable to treat symptoms with pharmaceuticals over an extended period of time than to cure the problem and the need for pharmaceuticals. Every time a problem is cured through nutrition or alternative health or life style changes, Pharma loses money.

[esdtenis]

would you then side with the insurance companies who refuse pharmaceutical treatments? For prescriptions meds, it seems pharmaceutical and insurance companies would be at odds with each other.

[pyramidheadkitten9]

@psychetruth yes, but this eastern and holistic medical bullshit isnt any better. most of the time the "cures" are just placebos and overpriced animal shit sold because white idiots are attracted to different cultures, so it just has to be labeled "easter" and people will buy it. sure, certain methods of eastern medicine can help, the people of india first invented vaccines but the kind of crap you promote is just bullshit. you care just as much about profit as the pharmaceutical companies.

[jdub671]

@pyramidheadkitten9 hmmmmm some ulterior motives perhaps?

[mcmcerson]

@JimmyK76 I hope they get rid of lobbies for everyone.

I searched "measuring neurotransmitter levels" and found reference to measuring urinary levels.

[psychetruth]

You can measure certain neurotransmitter levels in the blood and urine, however, 1) The amount in the blood or urine doesn't tell you the amount in the brain. 2) There is no standard for an ideal level of neurotransmitters 3) blood and urine levels of neurotransmitters will vary dramatically from hour to hour. There is no definitive scientific study which says "depression is caused by this specific neurotransmitter level being below or above a specific level."

[shovland]

The best thing I've found for the physical side of depression is the Omeaga-3 EPA, plus lots of therapy for the other parts.

[esdtenis]

this guy has only limited training in medicine, but he seems to claim great knowledge on the subject. all he's talking about is what he knows about nutrition. doesn't seem ground-breaking to me, but i have a BS in nutrition so maybe it is new to someone else.

[shovland]

It would be very ground-breaking to the average MD, who knows very little about the role of nutrition in maintaining health.

[lilears4]

actually he is a Chiropractic Physician... he knows it stuff quite well.

[esdtenis]

chiropractors have excellent training programs and for all but the serious of illnesses (source:mercola(dot)com/newdoc­tor)

[shovland]

Maybe there are actually ways to measure them. What does he say?

[shovland]

Real health care info. Someday I mean to check if you are close by. Or someone you know.

[RiverBirch1967]

What about an actual chemical imbalance in the brain, physically?

[knoyurself]

I agree with your philosophy 100% We don't have Health Care in America..we have Sick Care. You are the health care of the future.

[alkirob]

Interesting subject. I'm looking forward to finishing this video later, but I just had to say that I've never seen someone with more letters after their name than Vincent Bellonzi

B.S.,D.C.,C.C.N., C.S.C.S., A.C.S.M. H/FI

[psychetruth]

Yep you do. The best way to eat veggies, fruit and nuts is uncooked. Cooking especially destroys the enzyme content. Certain vegetables I don't like eating raw so I cook them just a little bit at low heat.

[zezt]

all very good, But one minute he warns of 'labels', and next he is using some the most bogus evil labels of our age that are the bane for millions of our children and their loved ones, 'ADD' 'ADHD@. He mentions them as thought they actually are real. THEY ARE NOT REAL! And there is no such think as 'chemical imblance' neither.

[mcurren2004]

Great vid. Comforting to know that there are still some logical people left in the world. mc

[shovland]

An example of real health care :-)

[Serenity1211]

So, how and where do I go and identify the cause?

[Serenity1211]

This is cool. I have been having so much problems here. And I finally talked to my brother lately and he said that I inherited the Psychological disorder (such as extreme or paranoia) from my mother. I don't really know if I am sick or not but for sure I pretty much hear that I am sick whenever I talk to my brother. :(

[psychetruth]

Well Serenity, you might not want to talk to your brother about yourself. See the videos "Friends & Haters", "How to feel like crap" "Intimacy" and "Secrets to Intimacy". All these videos are in my channel. See if they don't help you figure out what to do.

[Xaves511]

Okay . . . I have acid reflux. And no natural, "functional" medicine has helped. Only Nexium or Pepcid have helped. Period. I tried the natural, AloeCure advertised on TV and that made things worse!

[psychetruth]

This approach to medicine isn't about taking a "natural medicine" it's about finding out what is causing the acid reflux to begin with and eliminating it. I myself had acid reflux for years but totally handled it through nutrition. At some point I'll do a video on this with Natalie.

[jonesr999]

I wish there was a link to your website in the side bar so I wouldn't have to remember your website address and type it in.

[psychetruth]

OK, video description including link is now posted. I have two more video of Dr. Bellonzi coming up. One deals with food allergies and the other with weight loss. Thanks for watching.

[saturateu]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS

[psychpatient101]

I don't like the term chemical imbalance because of the abuse of it by the pharmaceutical companies and doctors. What you say makes perfects sense- I couldn't agree more with what you said. 5 stars and then some.

[psychetruth]

Yea, He doesn't quite mean the same thing. Dr. Bellonzi doesn't approve of psychiatric drugs in general since they don't actually address the cause of the problem and ultimately disrupt the natural balances of the body.

[psychpatient101]

I guess somtimes you have to talk the lingo to get through to people? but I do agree with jeywolf unless I am missing somthing

[jpirok]

I can greatly appreciate your approach to treatment.  I just wish there were more doctors that think like this.
