Neuroactive Peptides and Behavioral Disorders

[HysteryDiagnosis]

http://www.comprehensivepsychiatricresources.com/category.php?category_id=46

Listen to Dr. Greenblatt discuss the effect of neuroactive peptides from common foods such as dairy and wheat on behavior and mental health. Dr. Greenblatt will present several case studies to illustrate the effects of these peptides as well as how to effectively treat individuals with them.

1. well halle fucking lu..yaaaaa...

I have been harping about nutrition and Mental Health issues for years, I am do delighted to see that it may be a topic of interest being presented to MH people.
Now, if medicine would get wise....

check this out, from their website in Arizona:


"Biomedical Treatments for Mental Health Disorders - Part II"
William Shaw, Ph.D.
Additional factors will be discussed that contribute to impairments in mental functioning, including low cholesterol levels, vitamin D deficiency, and fatty acids and copper/zinc imbalances.

2. Well yeah.... FSU years ago found the link between undigested beta-casmorphin (cow's milk)

and "some" ASD, schizophrenia and ADHD. It is able to sit on 22 sites in the brain and is a morphine clone. Do the math.

Then there is this:

Casomorphins are the most important during the first year of life, when postnatal formation is most active and milk is the main source of both nutritive and biologically active material for infants. This study was conducted on a total of 90 infants, of which 37 were fed with breast milk and 53 were fed with formula containing cow milk. The study has firstly indicated substances with immunoreactivity of human (irHCM) and bovine (irBCM) beta-casomorphins-7 in blood plasma of naturally and artificially fed infants, respectively. irHCM and irBCM were detected both in the morning before feeding (basal level), and 3hours after feeding.

Elevation of irHCM and irBCM levels after feeding was detected mainly in infants in the first 3 months of life. Chromatographic characterization of the material with irBCM has demonstrated that it has the same molecular mass and polarity as synthetic bovine beta-casomorphin-7. The highest basal irHCM was observed in breast fed infants with normal psychomotor development and muscle tone. In contrast, elevated basal irBCM was found in formula-fed infants showing delay in psychomotor development and heightened muscle tone.

Among formula-fed infants with normal development, the rate of this parameter directly correlated to basal irBCM. The data indicate that breast feeding has an advantage over artificial feeding for infants' development during the first year of life and support the hypothesis for deterioration of bovine casomorphin elimination as a risk factor for delay in psychomotor development and other diseases such as autism.

3. You are most certainly what you eat!

The food on our plate is the raw materials for our bodies (brains included). There's a great documentary that deals with this called Feed Your Head, wish I could find the full movie online:

4. So now that we have most of our food contaminated with all sorts of stuff

and grown in nutrient depleted soils.......
the extra cost of "organic" can really be seen as preventive medicine.
