Mental Illness Treatment

SYMPTOMS – Depression, anxiety, delusions, nervousness, loss of interest in school or work, sleep pattern changes, irritability, withdrawal from society, sudden rages, lack of enthusiasm, and panic attacks.
* There may be heredity factors, but environmental factors and lifestyle are very important. Nutritional deficiencies have a strong effect on mental health.

* Autointoxication and constipation are contributing factors in mental illness. Symptoms that are alleviated range from mental sluggishness to hallucinations.

* There is a direct relation between the transverse colon and the brain. When the colon is clogged, mental illness is triggered in some, and an attack of epilepsy in others.

* Eliminate the “glue foods”; these tend to clog the colon, produce a buildup of mucous and toxins in it, and lead to mental problems. Such foods include white flour, sugar, eggs, meat, peanuts, and dairy products.

* Brain cells cannot function properly without proper nutrients.

* It is known that many cases of mental illness are solved when a simple, nourishing diet, including sufficient fiber and adequate vitamins and minerals, are given; and the colon is cleaned out by eating high-fiber diet.

* A high carbohydrate (whole grain) diet stimulates the amount of tryptophane in the brain and produces a calming, peaceful feeling.

* Exercise, especially out-of-doors in the fresh air, combined with relaxation helps to rejuvenate the body and mind.

* Allergy specialist successfully treats individuals with mental illness by isolating foods and chemicals in the environment which induce mental problems. Allergic reactions may be a factor in criminal behavior. In some cases, the offending food does not cause mental reactions until hours after being eaten. This is called masked food allergy.

* Herbs that calm the brain and the nerves include hop, and chamomile.

Mangos

Mangos aren't just exceptionally tasty, they also have incredible healing properties. They help to alkalinize the whole body by helping to flush out toxic acids and rebuild the alkali reserves in the body. They're also packed with enzymes and are a prebiotic food, meaning they contain compounds that stimulate and feed the good bacteria in the intestines which greatly aids in digestion and assimilation.

Mangos are a source of vitamins A, C, E, and B-complex as well as health-promoting flavonoids such as beta-carotene and alpha-carotene. They're also a powerful anti-cancer food and are specifically known to help prevent lung, breast, colon, prostate, blood, and oral cancers. They are also highly beneficial in the prevention of strokes, heart disease, arthritis, cognitive disorders, respiratory diseases, and kidney disease.

Mangos contain a significant amount of pyridoxine (B-6) which is vital for the synthesis of serotonin and dopamine in the brain and is essential in maintaining hormonal balance and proper immune function. Mangoes also help prevent insomnia and provide for better sleep.

HEALTH BENEFITS 

1.  Prevents Cancer:

Research has shown antioxidant compounds in mango fruit have been found to protect against colon, breast, leukemia, and prostate cancers. These compounds include quercetin, isoquercitrin, astragalin, fisetin, gallic acid and methylgallat, as well as abundant enzymes.

2.  Lowers Cholesterol:

The high levels of fiber, pectin, and vitamin C help to lower serum cholesterol levels, specifically Low-Density Lipoprotein (the bad stuff).

3.  Clears the Skin:

Can be used both internally and externally for the skin. Mangos help clear clogged pores and eliminate pimples.

4.  Improves Eye Health:

One cup of sliced mangoes supplies 25 percent of the needed daily value of vitamin A, which promotes good eyesight and prevents night blindness and dry eyes.

5.  Alkalizes the Whole Body:

The tartaric acid, malic acid, and a trace of citric acid found in the fruit help to maintain the alkali reserve of the body.

6. May Help with Diabetes:

Mango leaves help normalize insulin levels in the blood. The traditional home remedy involves boiling leaves in water, soaking them through the night, and then consuming the filtered decoction in the morning. Mango fruit also has a relatively low glycemic index (41-60) so moderate quantities will not spike your sugar levels.

7. Promotes Healthy Sex:

Mangos are a great source of vitamin E. Even though the popular connection between sex drive and vitamin E was originally created by a mistaken generalization in rat studies, further research has shown that balanced proper amounts (from whole foods) do help.

8. Improves Digestion:

Papayas are not the only fruit that contains enzymes for breaking down protein. There are several fruits, including mangoes, which have this healthful quality. The fiber in mangos also helps digestion and elimination.

9. Helps Fight Heat Stroke:

Juicing the fruit from green mango and mixing it with water and a sweetener helps to cool down the body and prevent harm from overheating. From an ayurvedic viewpoint, the reason people often get diuretic and exhausted when visiting equatorial climates is because the strong “sun energy” is burning up your body, particularly the muscles. The kidneys then become overloaded with the toxins from this process.

10. Boosts the Immune System:

The generous amounts of vitamin C and vitamin A in mangos, plus 25 different kinds of carotenoids keep your immune system healthy and strong.

15. Delays Skin Aging

The benefits of macadamia nut oil for skin are surplus. Macadamia nut oil has a high content of palmitoleic fatty acids.
