There are millions of people who experience issues related to brain
health--depression, attention issues, anxiety, forgetfulness,
fatigue, and even chronic pain--yet can’t figure out what’s
causing their problems and can’t find any relief. They may have
seen a myriad of doctors, many of whom do not take their complaints
seriously, or worse, turn to the easy, albeit inappropriate fix of
antidepressants or antianxiety medications. Traditional
medications, supplements, or other therapies haven’t worked. No
matter what their age—from children to teens to seniors--these
people and their loved ones are frustrated, scared, and confused by
their continued poor health. Countless others display more severe
psychiatric symptoms that seem to come out of nowhere:
obsessive-compulsive behaviors, suicidal thoughts, tics, and mood
swings reminiscent of bipolar disorder. Sometimes, the person
affected is the only one that notices a change to the way they
think or feel, and they suffer in silence. Or, they reach out to
try to get help, and are all too frequently misdiagnosed. Now,
David Younger, a world-renowned physician, board-certified in
Internal Medicine, Neurology and Psychiatry, with postdoctoral
training in public health and epidemiology, can finally provide
relief to these patients and their families. His diagnostic
techniques and treatment protocols will help readers identify the
true cause of their symptoms and put them on a clear path to
healing so they no longer feel crazy, out of control, forgetful,
and exhausted. THE AUTOIMMUNE BRAIN connects common brain health
symptoms to the changes in the immune system, and particularly
bacterial, viral, and parasitic infections. In this book, Younger
will explain his groundbreaking research and adds a new component:
how traumatic stress (whether physical or emotional) and genetics
affects this same triad as inextricable factors in initiating
disease and brain health symptoms. In fact, a change in
personality, behavior, coping style, and one’s emotional state
may be the first clue that there is a health problem brewing
somewhere else in the body. Readers will find new answers to
troubling conditions, including: · Alzheimer’s disease ·
Anxiety · Arthritis · Autism · Bacterial infections · Bipolar
Disorder · Cancer · Celiac disease and gluten intolerances ·
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (now referred to as Systemic Exertion
Intolerance Disease) · Chronic Pain · Dementia · Depression ·
Endocrine Disorders · Lyme disease and co-infections · Obsessive
Compulsive Disorder · Porphyria · Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
A 5-Step Plan for Optimal Brain and Body Health Younger has focused
his career on neuroimmunology--the intersection of neurology and
how the immune system affects the brain. He was among the first to
bring to the nation’s awareness the triad of infection, immunity,
and inflammation, abbreviated as “I-Cubed,” and known more
commonly by physicians as post-infectious autoimmunity. More
importantly, Younger has developed cutting edge treatment protocols
centered on immune modulatory therapy (known as IVIg) that have
been adopted by doctors across the country and will be featured in
this book. His unique treatment plan has become the most widely
employed immune modulating agent for autoimmune neurological
disorders. Including the most recent research and illuminating
patient anecdotes, this new book highlights an early detection and
treatment model that is based on a simple 5-step plan that can help
readers of all ages reverse their brain health issues as well as
their physical health by resetting the immune system. This will be
the first book to explain to a lay audience in clear and accessible
language, how seemingly unrelated diseases are linked to a common
cause-- autoimmunity--and can be treated by following a singular
immune-enhancing program that addresses brain health. While our
genetic blueprint presumably maps an unchangeable path to
illnesses, epigenetics shows that the genes for a variety of
inflammatory autoimmune and neurodegenerative disorders may be
silenced by following this holistic approach. Much like high blood
pressure, obesity, and other persistent illnesses, autoimmunity
needs to be managed daily with an individualized program that
works. This book will present Younger’s new paradigm for
identifying illness and resetting the immune system, summarized by
the acronym TAPES: · Test for the most likely autoimmune
disturbance right at home, and discover how a specific autoimmune
response may be affecting brain health · Apply immune modulating
therapies (under a doctor’s care) that will address both the
immune response and changes to brain health · Participate in the
most effective behavioral/therapeutic options to reduce stress and
reverse fatigue, anxiety, depression, and memory loss · Eat &
Exercise to restore brain health, alleviate pain, and enhance the
immune system · Survey your home for chemical exposures, and
remove mold, heavy metals, and other allergens that can stand in
the way of a full recovery Tests The finished book will feature
three unique tests readers can rely on to help diagnose an
autoimmune brain health issue. The first test will clearly show how
an underlying illness may in cause brain health symptoms including
fatigue, forgetfulness, anxiety, depression, poor attention, loss
of memory, and more. Created specifically for this book, these
tests are the best and least invasive ways for readers to figure
out and manage their symptoms: the results will direct them to the
appropriate chapters in the book for specific treatments.
