Integrate My Brain

It is now over 20 years since Dr. Charles Krebs had a serious diving accident that left him paralyzed with a medical prognosis that he would never walk again. Charles is a man who doesn't give up easily and the story of how he managed to get himself up and walking again despite all the odds is truly remarkable.

Along the way, Charles developed a particular interest in how the brain works and in assisting children with learning difficulties. He developed the LEAP (Learning Enhanced Acupuncture Programme) programme which is remarkably effective in balancing a wide range of stubborn learning problems.

During more than a decade of research into this complex and fascinating subject Charles frequently noticed that different nutrition would make a significant impact on certain people in terms of 'switching on' or 'integrating' their brains. Combining years of nutritional experience with the new LEAP brain integration formatting and his latest research from Australia, led to a break through in understanding and a new approach to the research programme yielded surprising results.

In the Western developed
world, both zinc and iron
deficiency is widespread
with more than half of the
people having overt iron
deficiency, and between 20%
and 50% also zinc deficient,
the extent of zinc deficiency
being less well studied.

The Zinc Connection

While any nutrient may be
either marginally or
absolutely deficient, marginal
deficiencies are far more
common. Zinc deficiency will
be discussed in some detail
below as an example of the
effects of a single important
micronutrient deficiency upon
brain function, but much of
this discussion also applies
to most other nutrients
required for optimum mental
performance, especially iron
whose biochemical dynamics
are similar to zinc.

What makes up nutrition, how it works in our body and how good nutrition can remedy many chronic disease conditions increasing your health maintaining optimal mental performance.

To understand how stress can affect mental performance, we first must have a basic understanding of how the brain works, what ‘stress’ is, and thus how it might interfere with our mental performance. Can nutrition play a role in changing our stress levels?

If optimum mental performance depends upon maintaining Brain Integration under stress, what role does nutritional supplementation play in the performance of the brain?

Optimal mental performance clearly relies on your ability to maintain Brain Integration in stress situations, requiring many different types of nutrients to sustain neurotransmitter (NT) and fatty acid (FA) synthesis to convert glucose into the energy molecule ATP to power the brain

When you look at the sheer number of nutrients required to support optimum mental performance, it seems unlikely that most people would ever take all of these supplements, each taken at the same time. But if you want to improve or optimise your mental performance, what should you do?

Applied Neurology is the use of muscle-acupressure feedback to assess nutrient-brain interactions. Although not commonly known, it is one of the best biofeedback tools presently available. Applied Neurology can be used to evaluate if nutritional deficiencies affect specific brain functions.
