HOW TO HEAL FROM TOXIC BRAIN

If your brain has been chronically exposed to environmental toxins and you’re experiencing cognitive problems or a mental health condition, it’s important to investigate further.

SPECT scans can help determine if your brain shows the telltale scalloping pattern and low blood flow typically seen in Toxic Brain. And it can provide valuable insights into other possible co-existing conditions.

Even if you have a strong history of exposure to toxins, or your brain scan looks toxic, don’t despair. There is hope. You can heal your brain.

Here are some of the recommended interventions to heal from toxic brain:

1. Limit or eliminate your exposure to toxins.

You can’t completely avoid toxins, but you can limit your exposure. Here are some of the best ways to detox your brain, your body, and your life.

• Quit smoking, stop using marijuana, and limit alcohol to 2-4 glasses a week.
• Remove “silver” dental fillings.
• Reduce your consumption of toxin-contaminated foods.
• Choose organic foods when possible.
• Always wash your fruits and vegetables.
• Avoid processed foods and those with chemical ingredients.
• Choose meat and dairy that is antibiotic and hormone-free.
• Drink 3-4 quarts of clean water a day.
• Check your home for mold and eliminate it.
• Use an air purifier.
• Do a bathroom cleanse to eliminate unsafe cleaning and personal care products (use the Think Dirty app).

2. Start a brain rehab program.

The first step in any brain rehab program is falling in love with your brain. When you love your brain, you want to protect it and enhance it. This involves two things:

• Avoid things that hurt your brain. In addition to staying away from toxins, avoid other things that can potentially harm the brain. This can include undisciplined or negative thinking, bad relationships, and risky activities like biking without a helmet.
• Adopt habits that help the brain. Fill your daily routine with healthy habits, such as challenging automatic negative thoughts (ANTs), enhancing social connections, and engaging in brain-boosting activities like racquet sports and brain games.

3. Consider neurofeedback therapy.

This non-invasive therapy helps you retrain your brain to decrease mental illness symptoms, improve focus, and enhance cognitive performance. Studies point to neurofeedback as an effective tool as part of a comprehensive treatment program for substance use disorders.

Learning to avoid toxic substances like alcohol, marijuana, or nicotine can reduce the brain’s toxic load.

4. Try hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT).

This form of treatment involves breathing pure oxygen while inside a pressurized chamber. HBOT accelerates the healing process and has been found to be helpful for a wide range of brain-related issues. Some research points to HBOT as being beneficial for people with mold toxicity.

5. Take brain-enhancing supplements.

Nourishing the brain with nutraceuticals can be helpful. Omega-3 fatty acids are one of the most important supplements for overall brain health.

By following these strategies, you can help your brain heal from toxic exposure. By enhancing brain function, you can improve cognitive performance and mental well-being.
