Could Social Behaviour be in your Blood?

Many Doctors believe that psychiatric disorders imply that the cause or even the disorder itself is psychological. “all your tests are negative” it must be all in the mind. But absence of evidence is not the same as evidence of absence.

The last ten years have seen a vast amount of research, which has consistently shown that the brain is functionally or anatomically abnormal in most if not all psychiatric disorders. The evidence is breaking down long held beliefs that diseases are either physical or psychological. We now know that doctors must consider both physical and psychological factors in their investigation in order to understand and thus help their patients.

Changes in the behaviour of an individual can easily be put down to “just a phase” especially true in young adults. If these behavioural changes become extreme they can lead to antisocial behaviour, which can cause grief and stress for both their families and community. But what if this behaviour was not by choice but driven by a physical factor that could be easily rectified such as a vitamin or mineral deficiency. Studies have shown that a zinc deficiency which can occur in young adults due to poor diet and hormonal changes, can be responsible for changes in behaviour that is akin to hyperactivity. This excess of energy can easily be misused and channelled into antisocial behaviour such as vandalism, destruction of property and even assault. You thought that your once pleasant, happy child could never have been capable of such acts but recently you have noticed a change in their personality, a shift in attitude and are at a loss how to counteract it. Maybe this change is not inevitable or irreversible. If it turns out to be something as simple as a zinc deficiency this can easily be rectified by supplements or even by a change in diet to include such foods as oysters, lean red meat and crab meat. Acne, apathy, irritability, and depression could also indicate this zinc deficiency, which are familiar complaints of the young adult.

All the evidence shows the link with our social behaviour, physical and digestive well being. The evidence is better studied and analysed by looking at the blood. Could you ever have considered the fact that your social behaviour has a direct link to your digestive system? I suggest to check with your doctor or to visit the Irish Centre of Integrated Medicine (ICIM). The centre uses a conventional approach and a professional natural solution, helping people to identify the root of their problem. The centre also utilises a unique system of blood analysis to help detect the quality of your blood and its nutritional values. The condition of your blood is a good indicator of your mental and internal health not always expressed externally.

Multiple chemical sensitivities, candida, hypersensitivity and food allergies have shown in high rates of current and previous psychiatric disorders (specifically mood and anxiety disorders). Even physical illness such as chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS); which is associated with physical and mental fatigue, poor concentration, depression, memory loss, irritability, sleep problems and musculoskeletal pain and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS); which is associated with back pain, bloatedness, constipation and diarrhoea can be assisted by digestive regulation and even breathing exercises. Sufferers of nervous disorders may not suspect a possible vitamin A deficiency and when personality and mood changes it is never associated with vitamin B12 deficiency.

At the ICIM, blood morphology can be analysed, and facts such as parasites and early stages of degeneration detected. This is invaluable for the early detection of serious health conditions. A small drop of your blood is placed on a special high-resolution microscope and the results are displayed on the monitor for discussion with you. A comprehensive report is created which includes pictures of your blood, which can then be used, by your doctor or medical practitioner to lead you toward diagnosis and better health.

Blood as a fluid is the carrier of most of the events occurring in our body. When you are stressed, blood changes its distribution and acidity. When you are angry, adrenaline enters the blood and disrupts the nervous system. This in turn makes you act or react without “thinking”. But sometimes we are angry for apparently no reason, or very short tempered. When you look at the blood then we can see the real reasons, usually chemicals, vitamin and or mineral deficiencies, acidity, parasites, sugar levels, etc. can be the cause of such behaviour.

So before you start blaming your psychological self, I would suggest to look at your blood first.

If you, your family or friends are unsure as to which health management program or medical assistance best suits, the Irish Centre of Integrated Medicine offers a Medical Adviser. The ICIM Medical Adviser will take a comprehensive case history to help identify the root of the problem and guide you towards the best solution or screening procedures available.
