Health Answers and Solutions
Finding a solution for individuals taking psychotropic medication or thinking of starting a psychotropic medication has been our goal from our inception in 1999.
Our Background
In the early spring of 2001, we posted on this site a step-by-step
guideline how to taper or reduce psychotropic medication. In December of 2001,
the FDA issued a press release detailing how to reduce the drug Paxil. The FDA's
instruction for physician's was nearly verbatim to what we posted months
earlier.
The method to reduce the medication is still the only FDA recommendation for physician's as of today.
In 2001, we presented our research on the master antioxidant called Glutathione and its usage for tapering off psychotropic medication. Within the next 12 months, clinical trials revealed the role of glutathione in fighting Cancer, Parkinson's, Chronic Fatigue, MS, and in 2005 a trial linked low levels of glutathione to autism.
In 2001 we also began investigating the predictive role of an individuals DNA. This site outlined the information for publication mid 2001.
The DNA research showed there was a way to predict side effects of psychotropic medication before an individual took the drug. The Mayo Clinic is now offering that test.
2004 brought an entirely new breakthrough. How an individuals DNA affects the absorption of vital vitamins and minerals was discovered.
The first set of genes addressed were the genes responsible for B vitamin metabolism. There are 4 genes that will regulate absorption of B vitamins, including folate.
Of those 4 genes the percentage of
the population with a variation is outlined below.
1 - 54-58% variation
2 - 79% variation
3 - 97% variation
4 - 30-42% variation
What this means in simple language:
Get the idea you have 10 people that each need to fill their swimming pool using 4 garden hoses to do the job. Each hose has its own valve to turn the water on or off. The 4 hoses are laid out on the ground with the end hanging over the edge of the pool.
You then turn on the water to each of the hoses.
Of the 4 hoses being used:
5 out of the 10 peoples #1 hose
will have a kink in it and it will not flow water
7.9 out of 10 peoples #2 hose will have a kink in it and it will not flow water
9.7 out of 10 peoples #3 hose will have a kink in it and it will not flow water
3.6 out of 10 peoples #4 hose will have a kink in it and it will not flow water
As you can see, of the 10 people trying to fill up their pool, many will have a difficult time. Even if you have 2 good hoses without kinks, the other 2 hoses will probably have a kink.
Now when it comes to getting B vitamins in your body, where it is needed, the same will take place as above. If 10 people were to supplement with your basic B vitamin or folate, this will happen:
5 out of 10 people taking a B
vitamin supplement will not be able to absorb the B vitamin through pathway #1
7.9 out of 10 people taking a B vitamin supplement will not be able to absorb
the B vitamin through pathway #2
9.7 out of 10 people taking a B vitamin supplement will not be able to absorb
the B vitamin through pathway #3
3.6 out of 10 people taking a B vitamin supplement will not be able to absorb
the B vitamin through pathway #4
The above is all based on an individuals DNA.
The above is no longer our own hypothesis. Several clinical trials now validate the above.
December 23, 2005, the following statement was authorized by the FDA.
"Soluble fiber from foods such as Power Barley Formula, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. A serving of Power Barley Formula supplies 2 grams of the soluble fiber necessary per day to have this effect."
"CHD is the cause of almost 500,000 deaths annually. Risk factors for CHD include high total cholesterol levels and high levels of low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. Scientific evidence shows that adding barley to one's diet can contribute to lowering serum cholesterol."
"Promoting health by helping people get better nutrition information about the foods they eat is among FDA's top priorities, because the choices that Americans make about their diet have a great impact on their well-being," said FDA Deputy Commissioner for Medical and Scientific Affairs Scott Gottlieb, MD. "The FDA review process for making health claims, when combined with our strong enforcement work, rewards companies that make healthier products while we enforce the law against companies that appeal to consumers through false and misleading health claims."
The
Solution
The solution is to introduce nutrition in a manner that will bypass
the B vitamin DNA pathway, and have that nutrition be rich enough in the
essential B vitamins as well as folate. Having the other vitamins and minerals
that work hand in hand with B vitamins and folate is also vital for a complete
nutritional balance.
TRB Health has developed a nutritional product specifically to address the DNA B vitamin and folate issue described above.
If you are taking an antidepressant, it is also vital that any nutritional supplement you take does not alter the dosage of the medication. Careful consideration has been given to ensure this is not a problem.
If you are suffering from side effects caused by an antidepressant or if you are wishing to taper off the drug, this nutritional product may very well be the answer. If you are not taking a medication and just want to find a way to hopefully feel better, this product may very well be the answer.
I do suggest you read a few of the success stories from people tapering off an antidepressant as well. Click here
