Connecting diet to better mental health

edgilchrist — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 15:00:22 CDT

Most would take for granted that the treatm

See WirralTV.net for the interview from the Liverpool event

ent we receive from health specialists is as expert and as safe as it could be for us.

But, when it comes to conditions of the brain, such as psychosis, ADD, Epilepsy, and others, what is really known about what is going on? And is enough known about the conditions and alternate treatments to be able to make the best choices?

In these pages we hope to listen to evidence from each other and a variety of medical and scientific sources, to help us all ask the right questions and make more informed decisions about our mental health and the treatment we receive.

The field of mental health is particularly mysterious. Medication is inconsistent, frequently getting different responses from one person to the next. The brain is vast and complex and tiny changes in the chemical balance can result in major changes in behaviour or health.

And, because our brains are so unique, the results are so often unpredictable.

MAKING CONNECTIONS

edgilchrist — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 14:57:42 CDT

We know that there are connections between conditions like epilepsy, autism and psychosis and the food and drugs that we put into our bodies.	We want to understand more about these connections. But it's not straightforward and we must *be careful to avoid jumping to conclusions*.
Here are 2 simple examples of	possible connections.
A. Ammonia is a side effect of some anti-convulsants B. Ammonia can create excess free glutamate in the brain. C. Some seizures and psychotoc episodes are thought to be glutamate induced.	A. Many children have the MMR vaccination B. Some children display symptoms of Autism shortly after having the MMR vaccination.
It would be IRRESPONSIBLE anti-convulsants triggers schizophrenia or seizures But it would be RIGHT to	to conclude that... The MMR vaccine causes Autism want to ask more questions!

So... let's not dismiss the evidence completely, as there is some truth in there somewhere. The conclusions may be true for some people under some circumstances. And if a connection like this helps just a single person, then it doesn't really matter if the argument is logically flawed or not, does it?

These are big questions that should never be taken lightly. But just a little more evidence might be sufficient to make a case. It might be, say, evidence of a change in diet. Here's an example of what you might say.

"I read somewhere that artificial sweeteners have been reported as making people feel ill. I suffer from migraines and seizures and so I decided to trial a diet that eliminates aspartame. My migraines stopped xxx days later. When I mistakenly had saccharine in my tea, the migraines came back within xx hours. It took xxx days to be free of them again."

Keep the above examples in mind when you use this site. What we need from each other is this:

Your anecdotes, without conclusions being drawn, but with any evidence of a change in condition that appears to be connected to your 'intervention', such as a change in treatment or diet.
Your conclusions or hypotheses, based on what you have observed or read.
Your suggestions about what we might do.
And we VERY much need the input of SPECIALISTS to use their scientific or clinical knowledge and expertise to authenticate, or discount, what is being said or suggested.

Now look at the threads below (these and others will all appear on the Discussions page)
Do you see any that you might reply to? If not, then create a new one. (First, check that you are signed in.)

If you wish to tell a long story that is likely to lead to a lot of discussion, or is an ongoing saga, you can either use a new thread or add a new page under this one, giving the page a unique and meaningful name, like "John Taylor's GFCF diet."

Feel free to consider what others have said works for them. But note that one person is not the same as another. And if you are on medication, you should speak to your health adviser first.

IT'S FOR PEOPLE LIKE US

edgilchrist — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 12:32:16 CDT

Do you believe that we should try to do more for those who are affected by mental health?

Then we should work together.
__________________________________________

Who do you know who feels like this.. who shares our purpose?.

Perhaps a family member or a friend. Or maybe a psychiatrist, a scientist, a chef, a nutritionist, a homeopath or a faith healer. Perhaps you, yourself. It's easy to sign up.

And getting involved in 'discussions' is a great way to start.

Whoever you know, everyone can contribute. Only a team effort will make this work.

Don't delay. Sign up now.

We like the word 'connections'...

...because we want to link and examine what we know, from as many sources as possible.

Although alleviating symptoms will always be important, we really want to understand more of what causes mental health conditions and a little more of the science of the side effects of what we take to suppress those conditions.

We want to harness the skills and knowledge of laymen - mums and dads, brothers and sisters.

And we want this collective approach to help yield effective new ideas, hypotheses, more natural treatments... and better lives!

Radio interview
Liverpool, Thursday 2a.m. "City Talk" 105.9 FM Presenter Roy Basnett interviews Ed Gilchrist and City Talk's Nicola Smith about Autism and ADD

Roy spent 35 minutes talking to Ed and Nicola about their personal experiences of living with ASD and ADD. His show is in the 'small hours' from 2am to 6am, UK time Ed said, "On the show, we didn't really have time to do justice to the massive subject that is ASD, but we did mention one or two of our 'mini-theories'. My main objective, though, is to raise a wider interest and bring it to daytime radio or newspapers or journals. Who knows? There's a lot of stuff that could help many people communicate better with, and feel more optimistic about their children."

Mark's glutamate-free diet

edgilchrist — Thu, 07 May 2009 14:49:30 CDT

When my 24 year old was a young child, the evidence of his behaviour led us to believe that we needed to eliminate MSG (mono-sodium glutamate E621) from his diet, together with chocolate and azo and other artificial dyes.

This helped him sleep and be more settled, but it did not help him with frustration, anxiety and a social impairment which eventually, in his teens, attracted an ASD diagnosis.

At 19, he had a couple of grand mal seizures and they prescribed Sodium Valproate. 3 to 6 months later, he developed a serious and worsening psychosis - anger attacks, hallucinations, ranting, massive emotional swings. This lad is a loving person and always has been. We suspected the link with Valproate but could not get any support from experts. We eventually demanded a change. The alternative anti-convulsant, Lamotrigine, was offered.

But life was already intolerable and so we succumbed to medication to treat the psychosis. It went up and up and still there were major episodes. Everyone was baffled. I was keeping a journal day by day to help us to explore possible connections. (It's already close to 200,000 words long.)

Still, nobody in our corner of the health service was open to anything we asked or suggested.

One day in May this 2008, he had his 3rd grand mal. The first time for some years. We suspected a change in his diet - a recent rush of wheat for a few days. So we researched for links between wheat and glutamate. Cutting a long story short, we made some important connections and weaned him off gluten, casein and any food or drink that created 'excess free glutamate' in the body.

The response was dramatic.

Our son started to come back to us. He had a tough time for some weeks, as the 'toxins' were removed from his body. But we persisted.

And so, after years of frustration, little or no encouragement, but plenty of contrary advice and pressure to 'accept' things, we eventually resorted to our own analytical sense, plenty of research, and a scientific approach. After just 6 months of doing it our way, our son is visibly improving and his medication is going down. Today, we are still not doctors, but we know a whole lot more than we did. And that's probably more than some doctors, although we have had the advantage of being able to observe the patient 24x7.

Stories like this must be true for many others like us. Just think of the potential of connecting all of that knowledge and energy? For us, it's still a long road. But we're happy and grateful that our energy and prayers are helping.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

edgilchrist — Wed, 06 May 2009 16:59:53 CDT

I am new to the field of ADD and ADHD but I was invited to a meeting a few weeks ago about these very things and the effect they are having on a certain individual and his family.
It was a very informative presentation that explained the complex relationship and effects of medication, nutrition, family, support and understanding by medical health 'professionals' and lack there of. So well presented was this meeting that It should be up on You Tube with virtually no editing required. But what would I know?
I wasn't sure where I fitted in to this or if I fitted in at all. I have my own medical quest to attend to (i.e. Warding off the effects of diabetes) and since it's nothing like ADD or ADHD our directions aims and treatment are bound to be different. But in the area of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy apparently they are not. Neither is it in cancer treatment which is an area I enquired into unexpectedly and it was here that HBOT turned up.
By increasing the level of oxygen a body is relieved of the stress caused by oxygen deficiency. Provided with enough oxygen a body can get about the business of repairing itself.

I thought this American article quite informative ;
