Of all the conditions afflicting us these days perhaps the most common and most insidious is those that affect our brain and our mind. The brain is the most important organ in the body. It plays a primary role in controlling all other body functions. Loss of brain function can dramaticaly effect the quality of our lives.
The most common disorders of the brain are Attention Defecit Disorder, Attention Defecit Hyperactivity Disorder, Alzeimers and Parkinsons. In addtion to these is the gradual loss of memory that many experience as they age. Add to this the chronic fatigue, moodiness and depression that are so common and you can see how pervasive disorders of brain chemistry are. The GOOD NEWS is that many of these conditions are caused by imbalances in brain chemistry. Brain chemistry can be tested and in many cases treated succussfully and without resorting to drugs!.
In addition to condtions affecting brain chemistry are condions that affect the glands. The most common glandular disorders are those affecting the adrenal glands, thyroid and pituitary. An imbalance in any of these glands can lead to chronic fatigue, weight gain, depression, moodiness, insomnia and many more.
We are blessed to be able to test and treat many of these condions.
Mood Disorders
Mood disorders, as classified by the medical world, are rampant. In fact if you look at the astonishing number of people who are currently on mood altering drugs you would think it is an epidemic. Not only adults but the incredible widespread use of Prozac and Ritalin on our youth would have you believe that we have developed inherited deficiency of these drugs - really rather amazing. Is it possible that humans have suddenly developed a need for a new food group; antidepressants?
Energy and Fatigue
The second area where we find the western approach taking a symptomatic turn is in the area of energy and fatigue. Based on the widespread use of coffee, teas and sugar, loss of energy is a major modern complaint. For awhile it seems to work to use stimulants to increase our feeling of energy but over time this approach causes the body to run down. Over time we still have the fatigue and we need to use more and stronger stimulants to get the same benefit.
The Edge Effect
The difference between a resourceful mind and seniity in only one hundred milliseconds of brain speed. Some doctors believe that maintaining your mental edge can help you to achieve new personal heights. "The Edge Effect can actually lead you into a state of physical and emotional bliss, where you reach a peaceful Zen mind, a power zone in your body and a spiritual pinnacle for your soul. Where you are at your physical and mental best, you are experiencing the positve side of the Edge Effect. This sharpness is the mark of a balanced brain that enables us to love otheres, remain calm and effectively put our intelligence to it best possible use." (Eric Braverman, MD, "The Edge Effect")
So we have three overlapping areas, mood, energy and brain function, that cause problems for many people.
A Personal Note:
Hi, I wanted to make a personal comment about this section. Mood, energy and brain fuction so dramaticaly effects the quality of our life that I have continued to make it one of my specialties. The tests that are available below represent the state-of-the-art and are available at a reasonable cost.
If you are affected by low or unrelieable energy or if mood, concentration or sleep are challanges for you I highly suugest these tests and the recommended therapies.
Testing is easy. You are sent a test kit. Simply fill out the forms, take a sample and drop it in the mail. Once the test results are available we will contact you to set up a consultation (in office or phone). During the consultation we will gather more information, discuss your test results and make treatment suggestions.
Best Wishes,

What Can We Do
Mood - moods are greatly related the brain neurochemistry. Deficiencies or imbalances in the main neurochemical pathways can lead to a host of mood related problems.
What do we do?
NeuroScience develops accurate tests and successful treatment programs for most of today's most challenging health conditions.
Some of these conditions include insomnia, depression, ADD/ADHD, autism, fatigue, migraines, anxiety, and weight control.
Neurotransmitter imbalances have been linked to:
- Attention issues (lack of focus and motivation, poor concentration, and ADD)
- Learning difficulties and development delays (young children)
- Hyperactivity and ADHD for both children and adults
- Sleeping problems (fatigue, problems falling asleep, tossing and turning, etc.)
- Menopause related issues (hot flashes, mood swings, night sweats)
- PMS and birth control related issues (mood swings, aggressiveness, irritability, sadness, lack of libido)
- Weight issues and appetite control (cravings, overwhelming hunger, etc.)
- Depression (sadness, lack of motivation, mood swings, etc.)
- Migraines
- Anxiety (irritability, nervous, obsessive-compulsive, insecurity, racing thoughts, restlessness)
- Libido (lack of sex drive for women and men, orgasm issues, erectile dysfunction, etc.)

OptiMan, like NeuroScience Targeted Amino Acid Therapies, contains neurotransmitter precursors to help balance catecholamine and serotonin synthesis, but it also contains BetterMan® a well characterized blend of natural ingredients that has been shown to improve erectile response in medical studies.
Product Ingredients
OptiMan contains Mucuna pruriens a natural souce of the dopamine precursor L-DOPA. Dopamine has been widely studied for its ability to enhace the effects of testosterone in stimulating sexual desire and interest in sex.
These studies match observations by NeuroScience that Mucuna pruriens can improve libido.
Histidine is another excitatory amino acid in the OptiMan formula. Histidine is the precursor to the amino acid histamine, a neurotransmitter that keeps us alert and responsive.
The natural ingredients of OptiMan are enhanced by their combination with these excitatory neurtransmitter precursors for unmatched performance
Cysteine (n-acetyl-cysteine) supports the production of glutathione, the body's toxin neutralizing powerhouse. Glutathione inhibits the apoptosis of neurons by preventing the oxidation of neurotransmitters to promote healthy neuron function.
Stress can have significant adverse affects on libido and sexual performance. OptiMan has specific ingredients that help you manage stress and relax when the time is right.
Rhodiola rosea is a natural ingredient in the OptiMan formula that has been shown in medical studies to improve performance during prolonged stress. 5-HTP supports the production of calming neurotrnsmitter serotonin to improve relaxation and help you enjoy the moment.
Other ingredients in OptiMan are vitamin and mineral cofactors of the enzymes required for the synthesis of neurotransmitters and zinc a mineral that is important for healthy testosterone production.

Prolent
Anchor Formula
|
Prolent by Sanesco
Anchor Inhibitory Formula
Prolent is a primary Anchor formula, providing important support for the inhibitory neurotransmitter system. 5-HTP is included as the direct intermediary in the synthesis of serotonin. Threonine is included for the production of CNS glycine while Serine contributes to peripheral glycine production. Suntheanine is an excellent GABA agonist. Rebuilding these inhibitory neurotransmitters generally constitutes the first step in the Initial Phase of addressing neurotransmitter imbalance. Without a strong, optimal inhibitory system, excitatory biochemicals, including adrenal hormones, can soaróparticularly in the face of an up-regulated HPA axis in response to our stressful lifestyles. It is recommended that inhibitory support such as Prolent be given before addressing the imbalances involved in excitatory biochemistry. It is also often needed throughout the Restoration Phase of the therapeutic approach. Prolent is useful as a part of many patientsí Maintenance Phase, as well.
Size 60 Caps
|
Procite
Anchor Formula
|
Procite by Sanesco
Anchor Excitatory Formula
Procite is a primary Anchor formula designed to support balance in catecholamine neurotransmission. Neurotransmitters of the excitatory catecholamine family are dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine. They constitute a main biochemical response to stress, requiring upregulation of the HPA axis. In the face of a deficient inhibitory response, the catecholamine rise in response to stressors is relatively uncontrolled. Clinically, such excess excitation often results in anxiety, insomnia, even panic.
The first step in treatment is to restore inhibitory control. The second step is to address the catecholamine system. Restoring HPA balance indeed requires a proper balance between inhibition and excitation.
Procite contains key ingredients required in the catecholamine biosynthetic pathway. L-phenylalanine and L-tyrosine are building blocks for the catecholamines. Vitamin B6 (P5P form) is a cofactor for the conversion of L-dopa to dopamine. SAMe is a methyl donor, required for the production of epinephrine. Selenium is added as an antioxidant while L-cysteine provides support for biosynthetic activities in this pathway. To this formula is also added the NSB blend, a combination of enzymes, essential fats and lecithin, to assist in delivery across the gut wall. NSB allows for lower doses and fewer capsules while still maintaining efficacyówhich encourages better patient compliance.
When a baseline test shows deficiency/depletion of one or more of the catecholaminesóand the patient does not present with excess excitatory conditions but complains of fatigue instead, Procite can be used in the Initial Phase of treatment to restore balance. If anxiety is an issue in such cases of depletion, Procite may still be used for repletion, but only once an adequate inhibitory system is in place. In depleted patients, Procite is usually needed throughout the Restoration Phase of treatment.
Adjunctive support for the HPA axis if often necessary as well, because depleted catecholamines implies chronic stress issues. Depression with apathy, fatigue, and lack of drive or ambition are signs of low catecholamine levels and signal a need for ongoing support. Use Procite in concert with Prolent and/or Lentra after the Initial Phase to restore HPA axis function.

Contegra is a true Ancillary support formula, directed toward balancing and optimizing both adrenal and thyroid function, and both excitatory and inhibitory pathways in the nervous system.
Contegra may be used alone or in concert with other formulas when more support of particular pathways is needed. Contegra provides Siberian ginseng and members of the B complexóparticularly pantothenic acidó which offer adrenal support. Tyrosine and SAMe target balanced excitatory signaling. Suntheanine is included for inhibitory support and potassium iodide provides the thyroid with requisite iodine. Delivery into the systemic circulation is boosted via inclusion of the NSB proprietary blend. When adrenal and thyroid function is low concomitant with imbalanced neurotransmitters, HPA endocrine support can make a great difference in therapeutic intervention outcomes.
Overall balance is not possible without healthy HPA axis function. Use Contegra whenever adrenal/thyroid support is needed, during the Initial, Restoration or Maintenance Phases of therapy.

Lentra
GABA Support

Lentra by Sanesco
GABA Support Formula
Lentra is a primary Ancillary formula designed as a direct support for the inhibitory GABA system. Without optimal inhibition, neuro-endocrine balance is not possible. Inadequate inhibitory response allows for over-excitation of the HPA axis, and the harmony of balance is lost, often resulting in anxiety, nervousness and difficulty with sleep. Clinically, Lentra has been used for daytime anxiety, insomnia, menopausal heart palpitations, and sympathetic nervous system overdrive, where dopamine and/or norepinephrine are elevated in the face of inadequate GABA or serotonin.
Lentraís three ingredients, Lactium, Suntheanine and L-taurine, have been documented to assist in the binding of GABA receptors and therefore are excellent anxiolytics. As opposed to pharmaceutical GABA agonists, sedation and tolerance do not occur.
Application is suggested for conditions where calming is needed, for example during periods of nervousness, irritability and anxiety, when over-activation of the HPA axis and sympathetic nervous system is present. Use Lentra in the morning and/or afternoon during the Initial and Restoration Phases when GABA levels are suboptimal (wherever GABA receptors exist in the Communication System) to address these issues and restore HPA axis balance and calm peripheral pathways.

AddoGen
$49
|
AddoGen by Neuro Science
The ability to focus and maintain sustained concentration is dependent upon a number of neurochemical effects. Most significant to this process are the excitatory neurotransmitters – epinephrine, dopamine, norepinephrine, and phenylethylamine (PEA) which are involved with mood, memory, alertness, and learning. Balanced levels of these chemicals in the brain are necessary for optimal cognitive performance. When these neurotransmitters are low, there is difficulty in focusing attention and sustaining concentration.
Product Description
AddoGen® is a product which provides support for the catecholaminergic system (norepinephrine, epinephrine, and dopamine) as well as other neurotransmitters involved with cognitive function, including phenylethylamine and acetylcholine. It provides phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylcholine, important phospholipids which are crucial for proper neuronal cell-to-cell communication, nerve cell membrane function, and neurotransmitter release. The numerous precursors in AddoGen™ such as D, L-phenylalanine, SAMe, L-methionine, and Mucuna pruriens (standardized for L-dopa) provide gentle stimulation to the excitatory pathways

Calm-PRT
$48
|
Calm-PRT by Neuro Science
Calm-PRT® is a product designed to balance excessive excitatory neurotransmitter levels and to reduce the overstimulation by epinephrine and norepinephrine and is an effective adjunct when inhibitory neurotransmitter support on its own fails to produce the desired outcome. Calm-PRT is a patent-pending formula that reduces high excitatory neurotransmitter levels and prevents overstimulation.
Within the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis stressors excite the hypothalamus to produce corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH). In turn, CRH release causes the pituitary to produce adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). Consequently, ACTH causes the adrenal cortex to secrete the glucocorticoids cortisol and DHEA. ACTH can also stimulate the adrenal medulla to secrete epinephrine and norepinephrine. These neurotransmitters are important regulators of the body's “fight or flight” response. Cortisol, a hormone also involved in the "fight or flight" stress response, is involved in terminating the HPA-signaled increase in epinephrine and norepinephrine production. As many stressed individuals have inadequate adrenal cortisol production, the body’s adaptive homeostat, the HPA axis, is not functioning optimally and epinephrine and norepinephrine secretion continues.
As a result of faulty HPA signaling, the excretion of epinephrine and norepinephrine can exceed normal levels and may remain elevated long after the stress situation has ended. The Calm-PRT formulation helps to restore proper HPA signaling for steady neurotransmitter levels throughout the day and can be used as adjunct therapy to any Targeted Amino Acid Therapy program where additional inhibitory support is required.
Calm-PRT can also be used to address the symptoms of overstimulation that can occur as side-effects of prescription or non-prescription therapies.
Product Ingredients
Calm-PRT contains the adaptogen Rhodiola rosea, which at low doses has been widely studied due to its ability to affect the activity of dopamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine, and acetylcholine during stress. The higher doses of Rhodiola Rosea found in Calm-PRT in contrast can reduce overstimulation. This effect is enhanced by the actions of phosphotidylserine.
Phosphotidylserine is the major phospholipid in the brain and is involved with many crucial aspects of cellular membrane function including: cell-to-cell recognition and communication, reception of molecular messages from outside the cell, and the cellular exchange of nutrients. Phosphotidylserine has also been found to reduce cortisol levels in patients with high cortisol
Glycine is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain-stem and spinal cord and is included to help control overstimulation. Taurine is included in Calm-PRT for it's ability to enhance GABA function.

CatecholaCalm

CatecholaCalm by Designs for Health 90 ct
A unique formulation specially designed for the ever-increasing number of “burned-out” anxious patients suffering from a unique combination of low cortisol and elevated catecholamines (epinephrine and norepinephrine).
It is now becoming increasingly evident, based both on research data and anecdotal reports, that chronic stress can no longer be defined strictly in terms of the degree of cortisol elevation or depression. In contrast, research data suggests that, as chronic stress inevitably leads to a state of adrenocortical exhaustion or “burn-out,” a compensatory adrenal response will often occur in the form of increased sympathetic, catecholamine activity. Because anecdotal and research information suggests that this is becoming an increasingly more common phenomenon, often seen with such conditions as post-traumatic stress disorder and classic fibromyalgia, it has become necessary to employ formulations that not only optimize cortisol balance, but optimize catecholamine imbalance also, particularly when sympathetic responses appear to be excessive.

FLAM-X by Neuro Science
FLAM-X is an anti-inflammatory product that does not cause any of the gastrointestinal side effects seen with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) use and may actually reduce these symptoms when taken with NSAIDs. Common NSAIDs are ibuprofen: Motrin & Advil, naproxen sodium: Aleve, and acetylsalicylic acid: Aspirin.
Flam-X is a gelcap containing a standardized preparation of Boswellia serrata. Boswellia inhibits the formation of the pro-inflammatory leukotrienes and is useful in patients with inflammatory disorders including: allergies, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic colitis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, bronchial asthma, peritumoral brains edemas, and cancer.
The Boswellia preparation in FLAM-X has been used in numerous clinical studies and has been shown to reduce patient pain and inflammation and increase the levels of active components in the circulation five times higher than equivalent doses of other Boswellia preparations. This same preparation has also been approved by the European Agency for the Evaluation of Medical Products, EMEA to treat inflammation associated edema.
FLAM-X is a commercially available Boswellia serrata preparation that has been used in double-blind placebo-controlled studies and has been proven to be effective.
Product Ingredients
One serving contains a Boswellia serrata resin extract preparation standardized to 800 mg boswellic acids.
Compare Boswellia supplements carefully beacause many less potent boswellia products contain less than one tenth of this amount of actual Boswellic acids. Fewer still contain the specific Boswellia serrata gum resin organic acids ß-Boswellic acid and derivates of 11-keto-ß-Boswellic acid, Acetyl-ß-Boswellic acid, and Acetyl-11-keto-ß-Boswellic acid. These prominent acids are the agents of the anti-inflammatory properties found in Boswellia serrata. In pharmacological tests these acids were found to inhibit 5-Lipoxygenase.
The ability to inhibit 5-Lipoxygenase makes Boswellia extracts a powerful anti-inflammatory remedy. Boswellia extracts are also used to treat Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis.

ProQuil by Neuro Science The ability to focus and maintain sustained concentration is dependent upon a number of neurochemical effects. Most significant to this process are the excitatory neurotransmitters – epinephrine, dopamine, norepinephrine, and phenylethylamine (PEA) which are involved with mood, memory, alertness, and learning. Balanced levels of these chemicals in the brain are necessary for optimal cognitive performance. When these neurotransmitters are too high, there is difficulty in focusing attention and sustaining concentration. High levels of norepinephrine and epinephrine can also contribute to overexcitation of nerve cells and hyperactivity.
Deficiencies in phospholipids, such as phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylcholine, can also affect cognitive function. Phosphatidylserine is a precursor for acetylcholine production, is crucial for proper nerve cell membrane function and neuronal cell-to cell communication, and is involved with neurotransmitter release. Phosphatidylserine also increases cortisol receptor function within the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which helps to alleviate the hyperstimulation and overproduction of the body's "fight or flight" hormones, epinephrine and norepinephrine.
Product Description
ProQuil® is an amino acid based formula designed to bring balance to excessive excitatory neurotransmission in the CNS and to reduce the hyperexcretion of epinephrine and norepinephrine production via adrenal-activated stress responses.

New and Improved Brain Vitale by Designs For Health
Brain Vitale by Designs for Health has just become even better. Can't believe it? Well, imagine the two powerful brain revitalizing nutrients Acetyl L Carnitine and PhosphatidylSerine (PS) both capable of repairing brain neurons, now reinforced with the mind-body nutrient GPC (GlyceroPhosphoCholine). GPC is a unique osmo-protectant, raises choline and acetlycholine throughout the nervous system, helps generate unique omega-3 phospholipids to build cell membranes, and is a clinically proven brain revitalizer. These three brain supernutrients are assisted by Ginkgo biloba extract, which enhances the brain microcirculation and provides critical antioxidant protection. The Phytosome® form of Ginkgo is at least twice as effective. Along with inositol, another key osmo-protectant and a precursor for second messenger action within the nerve cells, you have one amazing brain formula.
Dr. Parris Kidd gives this formula a “thumbs up” and says “this sets the standard for effective brain formulas.”
Research on GPC shows:
• Naturally occurring in all our cells and mother's milk
• Unique type of metabolic protectant
• "Active" form of choline
• Water soluble and can cross the blood brain barrier (PC cannot)
• Effectively raises acetylcholine
• Improvements in attention,mental focus and cognition even if linked to Alzheimer's or poor brain circulation
• Numerous studies showing increased brain recovery following stroke or other injury
• Revitalizes master hormone functions from pituitary control in the elderly (growth hormone)
• Studies used 1200 mg per day in divided doses
• The largest stroke trial in Italy, 2000 patients, GPC helped 95% to improve
• GPC outperforms other cholinergic precursors: better than choline, PC, and citicholine
What does ALC (Acetyl L-Carnitine) do?
• Critical energy cofactor for brain cells
• REPAIRS physically damaged neurons
• Helps stroke victims
• Helps prevent age related memory decline
• Increases learning capacity
• Enhances immune function
What does Ginkgo do?
• Improves microcirculation to the brain cells
• Helps enhance short and long term memory
• Helps improve mood
• Supports mental focus and energy
• Helps revitalize fading memory
• Protects the brain from stress induced neuronal death
• Balances catecholamine, serotonin and cortisol levels
• Phytosome® form is at least two times as bioavailable, with enhanced degree of efficiency

GPC Choline by Desings For Health
. L-Alpha Glycero Phospho Choline (GPC) is a naturally occurring phospholipid precurser and metabolite derived from soy lecithin. GPC is a nutrient that safely and naturally sharpens alertness, concentration and other cognitive functions. GPC has been shown to promote the effects of growth hormone releasing hormone and increase human growth hormone (hGH) secretion in both young and elderly individuals as well as patients with Senile Dementia similar to Alzheimer’s disease. GPC also affects numerous biochemical and neurotrasmitter systems that have been involved in the development of age-related memory dysfunction.*
•Memory
•Cognitive Function
•Recovery Time In Head Injury Patients
•Attention Span
•Mental and Physical Performance in Healthy Individuals
•Strength and Endurance during Workouts
•Liver and Brain Function
•Coordination
•Human Growth Hormone Secretion
Size: 30 vegetarian capsules
Each capsule contains:
• GlyceroPhosphoCholine 450 mg yielding 325 mg of GPC
• Dose is 1200 mg day.

PhosChol 900 by ALC
Doctor Recommended PhosChol 900 is 100 percent pure Polyenylphosphatidylcholine (PPC), and the only available purified source of Polyenylphosphatidylcholine in North America. PPC is a phospholipid, and an essential nutrient found in certain foods and in every cell membrane in your body. The substance is particularly rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, with linoleic acid accounting for approx. 70%. Derived from soybeans by a proprietary process, PhosChol is a plant-derived nutraceutical that very well tolerated even during long term use. There are no known contraindications, side effects or interactions with other drugs.
In Numerous Studies Purified Polyenylphosphatidylcholine has been shown to:
* Help sustain healthy cardio vascular levels
* Provide neuro nutrient support
* Help maintain membrane fluidity
* Support hepatocyte protection
* Aid in Gastric Mucosal Protection (from NSAIDS damage)
* Boost immune system and protect against opportunistic infections
* Improve Physical Performance
A Natural Choice: Studies show that blood choline levels rise to some extent when people eat certain high-protein foods, such as eggs and liver. But, these types of foods are high in saturated fat and cholesterol.
People who seek a healthier alternative usually turn to supplementation with Purified PPC. Only PhosChol delivers 100% Purified Polyenylphosphatidylcholine. There are no other products on the market as pure or as effective.
Through a complex process, PhosChol provides choline used in the bodyís manufacture of acetylcholine Ingredients per capsule:
Phosphatidylcholine 900 mg (derived from soybeans)
PhosChol 900 900 mg 100 gels
• Dose is 3 day.
