October 30, 2010The Brain and Gut Do Talk – A New Angle On Cats and Humans
Check out this brief and interesting video from TED by Heribert Watzke – Chief of food material science at Nestle‘s and molecular physiology maven.
Your gut has neurons that approximately match the neurophysiologic punch and
size of a cat brain! The gut manages 8 stopping signals – relevant for obesity issues.
Take a min… only 15:14 min – more excellent details from a somewhat different
perspective on the future of evolved mental health interventions.
Be well, and eat well!

Mr.Heribert is a good professor. I so long find the word that is right for human, we can eat plants, meat so what we are called? We are called Coctivor, because we live to cook food which gives us energy. I acquire the details he said and I am glad to be part of his lectures that way. Its very informative and scientific. I love it. More powers Mr.Heribert!Elsie Frank,5-HTPWholeHealth
My son is on Intuniv 3mg (for a couple months now) and .25 of vyvanse new over the past two weeks. He is on a GFCFSF diet. I had an OAT test on him and his Oxalic levels were considered high. 46.68 where the range showed that it shouldn’t be higher than 37.0. So I’m not sure if its really high but the bar graph showed it three quarters of the way towards the highest point. In researching a LOD I wondered if he might benefit from being on that in addition to his GFCFSF diet? I’ve read if you take calcium citrate before meals it helps to break it down. I’ve also read that you have to get the yeast under control. Should I be giving him a probiotic, calcium citrate/mag? He already takes magnesium the calm brand at night. Also his nitrogen levels were low compared to his potassium levels. This was on his hair mineral analysis report. These reports are confusing because the recommendations for one report counteract the other reports on what foods to eat and which ones to stay away from. I was wondering your thoughts on sorting this out? Should we add a LOD diet? The GFCFSF doesn’t seem to be helping much. He had an amino acid urine test done and they (aminos) all came back very low. He is not metabolizing protein well . The microflora was not extreamly high on that test. Also curious if it is safe to give him ammonium chloride tablets I saw they are helful with increasing nitrogen levels which are very low. Would that be something to consider? Sorry to throw a bunch of scrambled questions out there at you. It’s all very confusing to a regular person. Just looking to get him on a steady balanced diet that will heal his gut and increase things to a healthy level. Thanks again.
Darla,
I would definitely read up on the LOD diet and give that one a try. All the other questions will best be addressed by the doc you had do the specific tests. I have regularly witnessed significant differences in some labs, and stay with my most familiar ones until I hit a dead end. I do use NeuroScience and Metametrix and am adding SpectraCell for some of the refractory findings.
If your doc can’t tell you the specifics, look up the particular labs for much more info on each of the specific tests, and work with your doc to address those specific targets.

HI Dr- My 15 yr old son is currently on Focalin XR 35 weighs 175 5’9…would adding 5-htp help him ?
Francie,
5HTP is specifically used to address serotonin issues – diminished serotonin [often associated, but not always with depression] – honestly I have no idea without knowing the specific challenges or complaints.
