Dr. Mark Hyman - "The UltraMind Solution: Healthy Body, Powerful Mind"
November 9, 2010

While science has been increasingly demonstrating that the mind affects the body, what impact does the body have on the mind? Could it be that depression, anxiety, insomnia and other mental disturbances are caused by imbalances in the body? Can addressing our diet (including food sensitivities and allergies), sleep patterns, exercise habits, and the level of toxins in our body radically transform our brain function and deeply influence mood, memory, and attention? The answer is yes!

I have a serious problem. Over the past 6 months I have rid my diet of all chemical additives. Then I started to shake as if I was coming off a narcotic. I thought it was due to low blood sugar levels but during one bad attack my brother checked my blood level and it was 119. Then I noticed when my neighbor gave me a junk snack I improved immediatly. I have my strength back so long as I have a helping of junk food everyday. What is going on?

I strongly suggest for people to search for the research of Dr. LIDY PELSSER who heads the ADHD Research Centre in the Netherlands. She had proven that 64% of kids who were diagnosed with ADHD simply had food allergies, and that eliminating it took the ADHD away. It was published in Lancet - "Effects of a restricted elimination diet on the behaviour of children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (INCA study) a randomised controlled trial" + "Diet May Help ADHD Kids More Than Drugs"

@doddsalfa using efficacious medicine, yeah, that sounds right

[doddsalfa]

@bengalslash the true quacks are the md´s using poisoning medicine to hold down symptoms.

@bengalslash seems to me you're the one doing all the detesting. by "shit" do you mean vitamins? are you aware that some people suffer from malabsorption of vitamins for numerous reasons and so it wouldn't matter how well they ate they wouldn't get enough vitamins and end up ill? you seem to be catastrophically badly informed and out of your depth i'm afraid.

[bengalslash]

@jaherd hardly, quacks that push "alternative" and detest the "western" medicine love to say that modern physicians leave out that you should EAT WELL, when they do not. But quacks like hyman make it seem like this is some secret. Don't put shit in your body, and you'll feel better.

@bengalslash perhaps the problem is that you don't understand what he's talking about? otherwise you would realise that everything he said in the video was true and based on basic physiology.  there's nothing controversial at all in ensuring that your nutritional status is as optimal as possible. fewer people would be ill if doctors bothered with such basic checks. are you done now?

[bengalslash]

@jaherd because hyman is still a quack who mixes intermittent truths within his woo

[jaherd]

@bengalslash why was it beyond you then?

[bengalslash]

@jaherd wow, what a new concept
