Supporting Cognitive Functionality

Improve Focus, Mood, Memory, Sleep

Many individuals today, including the majority of candida yeast sufferers, are plagued by brain fog, that perpetually hung-over feeling, preventing one from thinking straight and getting things done. One simply has little or no mental energy, makes many little mistakes in everyday affairs, can’t focus, has impaired reading comprehension and poor short-term recall.

The primary cause of such complaints is the build-up of toxins, many produced by yeast and fungal organisms in the system, that undermine the liver and brain’s normal functionality. Long-term poor health is also directly associated with chronic inflammation, another major contributor to cognitive decline and inadequate mental focus (Acetylcholine inhibition caused by pro-inflammatory cytokine cascades). Simply put, chronic inflammation leads to the production of immune factors that disrupt normal mental focus and memory as evidenced by how sluggish one’s mind works when suffering of a cold or flu.

The liver is instrumental in providing the brain with the bio-chemical building blocks required for the production of the brain’s neurotransmitter substances.

When the liver’s normal functionality is burdened by toxic / neuro-toxic chemicals, such as those produced by yeast and fungal organisms, the liver becomes less and less capable of providing the brain with its requirements for amino-acid neurotransmitter building-blocks. A general undermining of normal cognitive function results.

The picture is frequently complicated by the following factors:

·         Long-term hypoglycemia (low blood-sugar) do to poor dietary habits >> diet

·         Consumption of wheat and dairy, producing morphine-like substances in the gut that fog the brain>> Mind-Linx

·         Heavy metal toxicity from dental, food and environmental sources >> more information

·         Unhealthy sleep patterns, poor or insufficient sleep >> more information

·         Adrenal and / or thyroid insufficiency >>  more information

·         Yeast die-off reactions, a temporary factor in most cases >> more information

·         Insufficient protein consumption or more commonly, poor protein digestion >> more information

·         Unhealthy neurotransmitter levels caused by a combination of the above listed factors >> more information
