Consult Without Travel

Virtual Consult – Heads Up on Two Items
1. Conference Starts Tomorrow Jan 26!
Do consider attending the Holistic Health Virtual Conference, - I look forward to presenting there on Wednesday Jan 27.  I will be very active with feedback at the forum there, and have an excellent slide presentation for you to follow during the program.

We really must stop automatically treating superficial labels in psych, and need to get down to treating real people with evidenced based objectives. Hope you can make it, just hit the Holistic link on the side bar here, – and remember it’s virtual and recorded, you don’t have to be there real time!

2. We Can Talk Privately-
You’re here because you have listened to my podcasts, watched my YouTube videos, read my comprehensive perspective from hundreds of pages of posts and references – so do feel free to set up a time to review your personal matters by phone.

I have been answering a ton of questions on the comments of several posts here at CorePsych Blog [this one with >140 comments], and realize many of the readers here need more time, and more information regarding meds and the issues with meds – and just don’t have someone local to help resolve those next steps. Psych complexity is workable – if it is addressed comprehensively.

If you’re regularly unhappy with you or your child’s progress, have been walking in the darkness for years, and are just plain old frustrated with current inadequate intervention strategies – such as:

- ADHD meds just not working the way they should
- Chronic psych problems that are not resolving
- Refractory, ‘untreatable’ depression
- Unexplained moods and anxiety that won’t quit with multiple complex issues
- Addiction recovery with cravings that sit on your shoulder
- Brain injury interventions – more than just anti-epileptics
- Mixed Medical and Psych challenges, including more extensive testing
- SPECT Brain Imaging Cookie Cutter Results my personal review [or second opinion] – including neurotransmitter specifics

I can then give you targeted feedback if we can connect with your more specific history, laboratory testing, & med trials – and my comprehensive questionnaires that will save us time on the consult.

Phone Consults Are Often Helpful
Helping you decide what-to-do-next, seeking further evidence, is completely reasonable with a phone consult. Millions get on the phone everyday for specific input with medical and psych challenges. I won’t be writing for any medications unless you come to Va Beach, but I can discuss your next investigations. It’s easy, and often just a few visits can add significant, even more useful information.

What I Do
I can order helpful testing, some of which you can do in your own home, often covered by insurance. I can follow your progress with facts. The benefits are simple: more complete questions, more answers, and a concerted effort to give you information you can use with your own trusted medical team there at home. Frequently recommendations include specific neurotransmitter precursors.  We have seen many reduce their medications with these precise interventions, and have treated many without psych meds at all. I do interpret SPECT imaging, reports are customized, comprehensive, about 15-20 pages, and never cookie cutter.

If You Wish To Chat: How
If you are interested in an initial meeting, please drop an email to Caitlin, the CorePsych Administrator.

Thanks, I look forward to our next conversations – and see you at Holistic!

Comprehensive Psych Medication Strategies

Neurotransmitters & Chickens

We’re Way Beyond Labels at CorePsych
Psychiatric meds simply won’t work if we don’t understand the entire neurotransmitter process. In this new game of pure neurotransmission, numbers do matter. Without the numbers, meds simply don’t work.

Simply Put:
When I was a kid growing up in Angola, IN, my friends and I learned valuable lessons in an interesting context: Catching Chickens. One brief note will suffice to make my point here: You can have a number of big guys in a chicken coop with only a few chickens, and you will run around all night trying to round them up.

Big guys can bump into each other and create a toxic evening if you load the coop full of guys with nothing to do. But, if you place 100 chickens in that same coop, only a couple of guys can quickly get them all herded up at one end, without heavy breathing.

Deep Axiom: More chickens makes for better neurotransmission.

Chickens and Neurotransmitters
If we take a few moments to think about it, the same thing happens at the synapse. If you don’t have enough neurotransmitters already on board, it is only common sense that you can bring in the biggest SSRI, and SNRI guns, and you won’t make a sufficient connection to fire the neurons. You need more neurotransmitters to get the job done. The SSRI and SNRI big guys can’t herd what isn’t there, and often they simply can’t make an impact, thus twisting up all of the results – both in studies and in the office.

At the Virtual Holistic Health Conference coming up Jan 26 & 27 I will be covering the details of how I measure neurotransmitter levels, hormone levels and immune system challenges to facilitate modern psychiatric chicken catching.

Evidence works for targeted turnarounds.

Depression and ADHD: Jim Carrey on Neurotransmitters

May 25, 2009 Beyond ADHD

Yes, Jim Carrey is using neurotransmitter precursors to help him with depression, – and what he is saying often makes office sense – we have regularly witnessed burnout from SSRIs – live on Larry King.
