Yet in practice most neurologists rarely include them as part of their protocols. In this practical guide, Sidney Kurn, M.D., and Sheryl Shook, Ph. D., explain how to safely and easily incorporate herbs, antioxidants, and nutritional supplements into the standard conventional treatments for 6 common neurologic disorders: Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, stroke, migraine, and seizures. For each condition, the authors provide detailed strategies supported by scientific evidence and years of successful clinical practice. They examine the biochemical role of each recommended herb, nutrient, or antioxidant and discuss potential side effects, counter-indications, and proper dosages to reduce symptoms, slow disease progression, and--in the case of stroke, migraine, and seizures--lessen the chances of recurrence. The authors explore the nutrient deficiencies and physiological mechanisms, including inflammation, heavy metal toxicity, and mitochondrial dysfunction, that can cause oxidative injuries and initiate neurologic disorders. They reveal which common substances, such as aspartame and glutamate, can trigger these mechanisms at the cellular level and recommend specific herbs and antioxidants, such as turmeric, cannabinoids, resveratrol, and N-acetyl cysteine, to counteract their effects. They discuss the importance of sleep to overall well-being, especially for those suffering from neurologic disorders, and offer tips to help ensure a good night's sleep. Integrating neuroscience, biochemistry, herbalism, and decades of clinical experience, the authors lay the scientific foundation for a holistic, naturopathic approach to neurologic disorders and a way to enhance the quality of life for those suffering from these conditions"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 616.80465 Ku Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.80465 Ku Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.80465 Ku Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.80465 Ku Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.80465 Ku Checked In Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 616.80465 Ku Checked In Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.80465 Ku Checked In Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.80465 Ku Checked In Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.80465 Ku Checked In Add Copy to MyList
