Serotonin

The liver produces enzymes to convert the amino acid called phenylalanine to tyrosine. The brain cells then use tyrosine to produce serotonin. If the liver is jammed, it must be unjammed so that it can produce enzymes to do the conversions.

It is the non-production of serotonin that causes mood swing aka bipolarism, agitation, irritability, hysteria, attention deficit disorder, depression, feeling of hopelessness or despair, suicidal tendencies, tendency to become violent; irrational behavior, irrational thinking, impatience and impulsiveness.

Acetylcholine

The liver produces enzymes to convert the amino acid called phenylalanine to tyrosine. The brain cells then use tyrosine to produce acetylcholine. If the liver is jammed, it must be unjammed so that it can produce enzymes to do the conversions.

The non-production of acetylcholine will cause memory loss, poor thought processing, errors of judgment, inconsiderateness, lack of conscience, cruelty, sadism, inability to produce ideas, analyze, and evaluate; short attention span and distraction, inability to concentrate and understand, foggy mind, indifference, suspicion, mistrust, etc.

Melatonin

The liver produces enzymes to convert the amino acid called phenylalanine to tyrosine. The brain cells then use tyrosine to produce melatonin. If the liver is jammed, it must be unjammed so that it can produce enzymes to accelerate the production of melatonin.

The non-production of melatonin will cause unrefreshed sleep, inability to produce neurons, insomnia, edginess, panic attacks, anxiety, hysteria, etc.

A person who did not sleep soundly cannot think clearly, they will be irritated most of the time; they will be impatient, and snappish. Also, they will have an attitude problem. Additionally, they will be unpredictable. After a while, a person who cannot think clearly could become delusional.

The cerebral cortex

The cerebral cortex is in our frontal lobe. It produces our personality, and it is our personality that makes us different from others. A person can have a pleasant personality and be pleasantly different from others, or their personality can be obnoxiously different.

The shrewd, manipulative, exploitative, or cruel personality some of us have, indicates a severely impoverished cerebral cortex. The cerebral cortex must be nourished with water and specific nutrients. Also, there must be thermal and electrical energies in the cerebral cortex to facilitate its nourishment.

People suffer from personality disorders because the concretions, debris and sludge in their cerebral cortex have never been removed, and ischemia has not been reversed.

Sound, natural and unaided sleep is critical to healing on all levels, and the liver plays a role in enhancing healing in every part of our body.

The man-made sleep aids that are sold in pharmacies and in nutrition stores, bypass the melatonin-producing process. Any person who bypasses their body’s natural processes will be impatient, agitated, snappish, etc., or they will have distorted ideas. This is because human cells do not use man-made products to produce serotonin and melatonin. They use nutrients, and it is our responsibility to know the nutrients they use.

Do psychiatrists factor in the health of the liver and its importance to the brain? No, they do not. They will sedate the person if they are too agitated and out of control. They will prescribe a drug to combat insomnia, schizophrenia, depression, hallucination of vision, hearing voices, suicidal tendencies, etc. when all these symptoms are occurring because the person’s liver remains jammed and malnourished.

Furthermore, the electrical pathways and nutrient pathways in the brain of a person who is mentally ill have collapsed. These pathways must be rebuilt.

The brain is an organ. It is visible, and it can be weighed, measured, photographed, described and examined. It initiates and coordinates all neuromuscular actions, thereby making it the decision-making center of the central nervous system.

It is the neurons and the nerves that run the central nervous system, the autonomic nervous system and the peripheral nervous system.

Nerves divide in order to duplicate themselves. Neurons do not divide. This is why billions of neurons must be produced every day in order to facilitate recollection, thinking and thought processing; separate reality from imagination, enhance self-discipline, build consciousness, enhance reasoning, filter unneeded voices and memories, filter unneeded lights and images, evaluate circumstances, make decisions and pass judgment.

How are neurons produced? They are produced with specific nutrients. Therefore, a person who is mentally ill, and cannot produce billions of neurons every night, will never recover from mental illness. I am explaining why the psychiatrists who cannot help their patients to produce neurons, cannot cure mental illness.

All of us are made of nutrients and water; and the liver plays a central role in the conversions that make specific nutrients available to all the cerebral glands and brain cells.

Beginning of mental illness

Mental illness is not new. It is brain neglect and liver neglect that set the stage for every case of mental illness. Then, it is the non-replenishment of thermal energy and electrical energy that turns the brain into a low-pressure area. 

What dissipates heat from the brain in order to turn the brain into a low-pressure area? Countless substances dissipate heat from the brain. Some of these substances include: concretions, adulterated marijuana, hashish, and other recreational substances; coal tar derivatives, poisons, the toxin of the fungus called Claviceps purpurea, metals and many pharmaceutical drugs.

A disease occurs in the brain because a low-pressure area has occurred in that organ. Stasis (stagnation) or inertia (lack of movement) always occurs in a low-pressure area. Plaque will accumulate in the absence of heat, thereby altering cerebral circulation. Then, the electrical pathways will either collapse or they will become twisted.

Twisted pathways make it impossible to filter out unnecessary voices, images and thoughts. It is these unfiltered thoughts, voices, images, etc. that will cloud the mind to cause periodic hallucination of voices or vision; delusion, miscalculations, misinterpretation, errors of judgment, loss of sense of time, etc.

Misinterpretation of intentions will cause insecurity, mistrust, suspicion, lack of self-confidence, indifference, etc.

Why is the brain severely malnourished? Food, whether it is scientifically prepared or not, cannot nourish the brain. Why? The answer is, there are concretions inside and outside many brain cells. Some of these concretions are even inside the nucleus where DNA, the 46 chromosomes and 70,000 genes are. These concretions must be removed so that the brain can be nourished.

If the concretions are not removed, they will disrupt the three-way communication involving the genes, DNA and the three RNAs.

If the cells cannot have nutrients heat, electricity, glucose and oxygen, they will not be able to produce neurotransmitters, muscle proteins, enzymes, etc. This is why a person who is mentally ill will also have many physical, metabolic, emotional and other health concerns.

Concretions include plaque, lithiasis, pebbles, gravel, gouty deposits, calcium deposits, sand, and casts. These concretions are the byproducts of cell deconstruction and metabolism.

Nutrients need pathways in order to get into every cell. There is the selenium pathway, the calcium pathway, the magnesium pathway, etc. If these pathways collapse, they must be rebuilt.

It is heat that builds or rebuilds the nutrient pathways. It is because so much heat has been lost from the head that many individuals cannot have their pathways repaired. Without nutrient pathways, the brain will remain impoverished. Chemical receptors will always grow in an impoverished brain. It is these chemical receptors that will cause addictions, and propensities.

Every person who is mentally ill also has an addiction, or they have something that attracts and retains their attention for a long time.

An impoverished brain sits in a low-pressure area. The two most prominent biochemical pathways are: glycolysis and Krebs cycle. How can cytosol and the mitochondria in the brain cells of a person who is mentally ill produce brain energy when their biochemical pathways have collapsed? They cannot. This explains why a person who is mentally ill cannot produce neurons to process thought, they cannot produce fresh ideas, they cannot select words to write a letter, select words to express their feelings, etc.

How do our cells produce electricity? How do our cells produce metabolic heat? How is metabolic heat transferred from blood to the cells so that it can reach the nucleus? These are the questions that must be answered, and Symptometry has the answers.

A person is an energy-dependent biological existence. Therefore, in order for a person’s brain to be healthy and to function optimally, there must always be a balance between heat lost and heat produced. Our heads loses too much heat, especially during the cold months; and nothing is being done to reverse this trend. Things must change because brain neglect has been going on for too long.

Unfortunately, the gulf between psychiatry and Symptometry is so wide that it is not worth considering a future partnership between psychiatry and Symptometry. Each is better off going their separate ways.
