Do you have Brain Fog ?
Posted by: Marcelle
Brain Fog is the state where you just can’t seem to focus your mind.
This state is becoming oh so common these days. A typical situation is one in which a person is just not their old self.
Common Traits are:
- Forgetfulness, where the once sharp mind has lost the ability to remember
- Fatigue, tired no matter what, all the time
- Lost ability to Focus, reading the same page over and over and not remembering anything you just read
- Spaciness, a feeling of not being grounded
While there are many more subtle signs of suffering from a “Brain Fog”, such as personality change, I think you get the idea.
The Cure for All Diseases
There are some people out there who espouse that the cause of all disease is from, well, whatever they happen to be treating.
A Dr. Hulda Clark , a naturopath, wrote best sellers with this exact title. Trouble was it was just not true. Don’t waste your money on this one.
And I have even heard some chiropractors proclaim that the cause of all disease is a vertebral subluxation. Trouble is this is just not true.
So what is the cause for brain fog?
Well here is where it gets complicated because there is not just one cause and there is not just one cure.
But I will share with you what I have found to be some of the causes and cures for brain fog in my years of practice.
- Yeast infections
- Parasitic infections
- Concussions
- Allergies
- Spinal subluxations
Those seem to be the big five that I have encountered.
Yeast infections are system wide infections of yeast, and yes, men get this as well as women. The causes of this range from a poor diet high in sugar, to the over use of antibiotics, to being on hormonal medicine such as the birth control pill.
Parasitic infections are another common cause of brain fog. Read the following article in Discover Magazine to learn more.
Allergies, especially food allergies can cause brain fog as well as a thousand other symptoms. Read Grain Brain to learn more, and check out this site., CeliacBrain.
Concussions can result in personality changes, forgetfulness, headaches and so much more. They don’t show up on X-rays and unless you find the right person, often go untreated.
Spinal Subluxations, from anything such as a fall, to poor posture can also result in more than just headaches. Brain fog and more may be the result.
