We can be born with a deficiency of natural chemicals, such as enzymes and neurotransmitter forming amino acids.
Stress and trauma within a family reduce these needed chemicals even more in a young child. As the child grows and experiences the stress of growing up and living in today's world . . . the depletion continues and with many of us, the internal chemistries never reach or "catch up" with needed levels.
Drugs do not supply the brain and body with the ingredients to balance these chemistries. Drugs simply make the level of chemicals you already have work differently, harder and/or longer.
Only nutrition we take in as food or nutritional supplements can improve your levels of available chemistry and attempt to support the continued building of the needed transmitters, enzymes and the like.
The targeted nutritional precursors (building blocks for normal human chemistry) have been shown by medical studies in the past to assist in improving the level of various neurotransmitters.
These studies usually use the increased levels of metabolic breakdown elements of transmitters to indicate increased metabolic building taking place as a result of targeted nutrients.
If we just stop and think logically, we know that well before there were medical drugs
. . . humans survived.
It's true that medications that treat debilitating and life shortening diseases can, and have improved the quality and span of life. We don't say, not to take these medications.
We do believe that taking medications to alter mind and moods have side effects which may be avoided by using nutritional supplements instead of drugs . . . as part of a healthy life style.
