How FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE Can Treat OCD | Mark Hyman & Dr. George Papanicolaou

[@jadenkutz]

Separating brain and body always sounded silly to me. The brain is by definition a part of the body

[@Innerdiamond]

Because it is...without the brain the body is dead.

[@ALeishaG88]

Finally drs that have a brain and listen! My god i wish you could help me and save me ive been so sick since a child and undiagnosed with OCD and ptsd, systemical thrush all through my body since a child making me so sick, constant suicidal thoughts, buzzing in my head, allergies, distention of my stomach i look 6 months pregnant, burning of my bladder like constant bladder infections, allergies to animals, foods, etc. Flash backs, panic attacks, anxiety. Itching in the vagina constantly, brain fog, constant negative thoughts, trauma from childhood, the list goes on. I can't deal with life its so hard to live. Always wishing someone would save me from my hell.

[@ALeishaG88]

I have sibo too

[@SarahStar00]

This is exactly me!! I finally found out I have CIRS. Carnivore diet has helped a lot but CIRS treatment is needed to fully heal.

I was getting numerous suicidal calls from her each week and since she has removed this crap from her diet...not one, not one call and she is soooo much calmer, hardly any anxiety, clear headed and less medical episodes with this, that & the other! Good luck i wish you well :)

You don't need to pay thousands to get healthy, stop eating the crappy food out there, eat organic, stop consuming gluten, wheat, dairy, grains, leave sugar for good, no alcohol, no soft drinks, exercise, drink plenty of water, fast, no bad carbs, eat good fats, vegetables, educate yourself on health, and heal yourself. Doctors are not healers, our own bodies are the healers, it does it on its own if you allow it to.

WHOOPS! I was very sick with chronic fatigue. AFTER my husband died from a prescription medicine (AVODART-used for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia) I was grieving and simply started fasting. Then I went to one meal a day (having never heard of OMD). I stopped wheat and milk. I took a multiple vitamin with B6 and zinc. I got better for one year. Thought I was well. Not sure but I think mold is the issue. Please address mycotoxins! It’s like the elephant in the room here guys!

They mention that people with OCD may lack certain strains of bacteria in their gut. But which ones? How do you reintroduce those?

[@lukaslukason]

To use time to reply to comments, obviously not does not appeal enough money wise. Typical. Lukas, Denmark.

[@Innerdiamond]

By eating a varied fresh fruit and vegetable diet, clean red meat and water. No wheat, bread or legumes and ease on the fake dairy.

We need more functional medicine being practiced

[@milochamp1586]

Yes, IBS leaky gut can cause issues with serotonin production. Fixing leaky gut is a short term solutions to treat OCD because that will not rewire the brain effectively. Long term answer is addressing the underlying childhood trauma. By saying that if one can overcome addictions to excess fatty and sugary food, caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, party street drugs, social media, music, technology, shopping etc and become minimalist for 6 months, there is a big chance that OCD should become lot less.

[@daughterofTheLion]

Had it since 8 years old...father, his sister, maternal grandmother also but it became unbearable after major dental work with mercury fillings between 6th and 7th grade! Dental mill dentistry is real...I quit going to the dentist with one more appointment supposedly to fill one more....3 years later had a toothache, went to new dentist..got teeth cleaned and had a little sore gum...that's all...no cavities...they used me and filled my mouth with mercury ...also at time of first round of fillings depression entered...happy ending? Yes, understanding what it was and now later in life diet changes and intermittent fasting has brought so much good change and no one that has known me can deny it...I am still using cognitive behavior techniques to help me but the depression is lighter and I don't stay stuck and exhausted anymore...no medications...I have been better for over 12 years...my doctors are also impressed.

[@barbaracardoza9786]

Any tips on how to deal with OCPD?

[@milochamp1586]

OCD is rarely genetic though there is some evidence. The genetic correlation is extremely less. It is mainly childhood trauma related. I know this for a fact as someone who experienced OCD since I was around 18 years. Fortunately I was able to see many things that happened in my past and what triggered the OCD. OCD is the aftermath of trauma.

[@annemccarron2281]

I have it as well, but I guess I've hid it well. My son refuses to believe I have it. I never wanted to burden him with my trauma, so I guess I did a good job.

[@MikeHernandez-gk3zv]

That sound familiar

[@susanjannarone135]

My son has OCD. He had no trauma. He did have Strep so many times I took him out of school to be less active in 6th grade. He went on to become regional tennis and golf. He still has OCD at 36. I’m so tired of mental illness in my family. My mother was bipolar; my other son is bipolar. I’m sure my mother had stress. Her sister is bipolar. Both my mom and her sister had gut issues with diarrhea. The problem is, trauma affects those who have these genetics, otherwise trauma might cause another ailment. These doctors have me taking pages of notes and I’m already familiar with functional medicine. Issue is getting CARE AND TREATMENT THE CORRECT WAY.

[@shawnleong3605]

Finally someone spoke the truth rather than the psychiatric myth

[@milochamp1586]

​@@susanjannarone135 Actually Strep infection is also a result of a childhood trauma according to center for infectious diseases. Please do some research. Trauma does not mean a major event like an an accident for a little child. Trauma can be caused by a child not feeling safe for whatever reason where he or she never expressed to the mother of what he found uncomfortable because sometimes kids worry to share certain tings and keep things to them selves. . Good news is OCD can be attacked in 2 ways using supplements that help OCD and anxiety, TMS as well as working on healing deeply rooted traumas. If he is avoiding something and OCD rituals are the way for him to feel safe, he knows what things he is avoiding.

Hi. Lukas, middleaged man, diagnosed with severe treatment resistant OCD since childhood. Got disability pension a few years after highschool. The doctors unsuccessfully tried multiple treatment approaches, but eventually gave up. Have thus become a middleaged man with no work, home, friends, hobbies or a meaningfull life. Gave up hope to find a cure many years ago, so expect absolutally to find no CURE as old age approaches, but will ask you guys anyway if somebody has knowledge of a proven CURE.Thanks.

[@Innerdiamond]

Nicotinic acids are in the gut and brain and heart. Interesting that worked for you. What was your protocol?

[@SmallSpoonBrigade]

OCD for me was primarily an executive functioning issue. Certain things wouldn't register as having been completed. Eventually, I got wise to that and started to hold the dials more gently and slowly turn them until my hand slipped. The result was that it would generally register. Then, I'd just not check it again, I'd accept that it was done and I wouldn't check unless I had some specific reason to believe that this time I hadn't done it.

[@T-bw7pm]

Best wishes to thise detetmined to diligently do the ani inflammation protocols and food disciplines.

[@jennicablack]

I have had ocd since I was 12 and I'm 36. It is pure hell. I have done lots of therapy for it bit I still can't stop the constant intrusive repetitive thoughts. You want to stop thinking about one specific thing but you can't and your ocd brain tells you if you don't do xyz whatever it is that xyz (something horrific) will happen. Therefore you are stuck doing compulsions all day every day because 10,000 times isn't enough the ocd wants you to do it 10,001 times. It is beyond horrific and debilitating. I love my life but with ocd all i can think about is how much I want to die because I feel like my brain controls me and I can't control it ever.

[@luvyou-baby]

does George treat ppl who are not from the USA. How will he do the testing for them?

[@T-bw7pm]

A tip ......balance is a bug challenge . L glutamine ...I get agitated and B vitamins with the glutamine improved my symptoms. Exercise. Laughter. Food control.

[@Innerdiamond]

My friend has OCD. It's a negative feedback loop of intense fixation. From a psycho-spiritual approach it can be viewed as intrapsychic predation. Mind parasites are real! Separate however, one might consider brain parasites ...gut- brain axis. Few are investigating the relationship.

[@roxannaayllon774]

Thank you. What is the name of the genetic analysis in which you found the blueprint of the enzyme?

[@wellnesscoachingwithmar]

My son is only 7 and he just started having it really bad. He has inherited it from his dad. I am researching how I can help my little guy. I've always worried he would have it, but having it at 7 really petrifies me as I know first hand how debilitating this condition can be. It is 100% genetically for my son, but exacerbated by exposure to my husband. If it is indeed connected to the gut, then it is also genetic. Otherwise, how else do you explain my son having it so bad that early on ?

[@Seruleo_]

The root cause could be genetic but ocd is a symptom of something else going on in the body. Look into pans/pandas. Gut dysbiosis. Mold. Heavy metals. Find a good functional medicine doctor!

[@jjpauline1828]

you haven't scratched the surface yet. Genetics play a part, but truthfully you will find there is way more that is affecting your child. For instance did you give him childhood vac's? does he eat gluten & dairy? These are some of the main culprits. Then strep or Lyme is a huge one!! there are multiple tests that can be done through functional doctors and they can help. there is a root cause more so then inherited. I would try and go carnivore diet and rid the rest of the junk.

[@MrAbi123]

@@jjpauline1828 absolutely no to carnivore diet especially a child are you crazy? The carnivore diet messed me up more than anything just quit gluten dairy refined sugars soya emulsifiers and seed oils and check for any other food intolerances like eggs bananas strawberries (histamine foods) and nightshades or do an elimination diet

[@glen4326]

Bingo..genetics and environment. You know, at age 7...I highly doubt OCD existed like that in 1900 before modern life took over. Is there a chemical cause in the food, medicine, vaccines, water? Maybe, but who's gonna pay for that study? I feel for your son, the great thing is meds can help..but it is dangerous to be on them so young. Has he gotten help?

[@avaceleste]

We have functional medicine… therefore, it would be a quality assumption to say that the alternative is… dysfunctional.
