Treating the Brain

Perhaps the most important step in treating the brain is eliminating/reducing any substances that may be harming it.

Correcting nutritional deficiencies and healing the gut will help "feed" a starving brain. There are some specific treatments and supplements that can target the brain in spite of the need to approach treatment holistically.
