Since introducing the idea of dopamine dominance, I have received several questions about the difference between dopamine dominance and the dopamine challenge. This post will attempt to clarify these two important points. (more…)
There has been a recent breakthrough in the use of amino acid therapy based on the work of Marty Hinz, MD. The work of Dr. Hinz and his associates can provide a key piece of information for people that are not finding relief from symptoms related to neurotransmitter dysfunction using the typical Three Phase Model approach. Based on the research of Dr. Hinz, this represents about 6-8% of people using amino acid therapy under the guidance of a trained health care professional. (more…)
In a previous post, we addressed the question: “do allergies cause neurotransmitter imbalance?” In addressing that question, I eluded to the fact that although allergies do not necessarily cause neurotransmitter imbalance, excessive histamine release (due to allergies) could theoretically cause neurotransmitter imbalances over time, which could lead to any number of symptoms. Conversely, we have found a link between allergies and neurotransmitter balance: that increasing dopamine levels can have a powerful antihistamine effect, substantially decreasing seasonal allergies.
