When dealing with health issues, many people want the best of both worlds - the best ideas and practices of conventional medicine combined with alternative practices. We rely on extensive clinical experience, existing body of research by Walsh Research Institute, and new studies when appropriate. The physicians at Mensah Medical evaluate the patient's condition by uncovering the underlying chemical abnormality. Additionally, we examine possible physiologic, genetic, environmental and other influences that may affect the patient's well-being. Advanced Nutrient Therapy protocols are prescribed at the appropriate therapeutic level to target the patient's specific needs in order to correct underlying imbalances.
The human body has an elaborate system for managing and regulating the amount of trace metals and other key nutrients circulating in the blood and stored in cells. When this system fails to function properly, abnormal levels of trace metals can develop in the brain and other parts of the body affecting a variety of physiological systems and causing biochemical imbalances. The past few decades have seen a major advance in the understanding of health conditions, ailments and symptoms. This improved understanding has led to advanced protocols that the physicians of Mensah Medical use to treat disease conditions.
Many conditions and disorders, such as irritability, mood swings, depression, behavior disorders, anxiety, eating issues, bipolar and schizophrenia, have roots in biochemical imbalances. For example, persons with behavioral/learning issues (ADD, ADHD and OCD), anxiety, rage, tend to have heightened sensitivity to light, sound, odors and textures, which is also characteristic of pyrrole disorder - a metabolic disorder affected by zinc and Vitamin B6 deficiencies.
Eating disorders, perfectionist tendencies, seasonal allergies, low pain threshold, strongly addictive and self-medicating behaviors, such as smoking, alcoholism, illegal drug use and even medical non-compliance, are often indicative of undermethylation syndromes reflected by high blood histamine.
Post-partum depression and post-partum psychosis can be devastating disorders affecting not only the individual but also family members and household dynamics. They have a strong correlation with elevated copper and estrogen levels. Untreated imbalances and symptoms can worsen with successive pregnancies. In short, the brain becomes toxic causing disruptions in dopamine and norepinephrine function that could lead to excess worrying, hopelessness, worthlessness, guilt, anger, psychosis, suicidal thoughts, and even death.
Among the myriad of neurodegenerative diseases, Alzheimer's disease and autism spectrum disorder present challenges in both diagnosis and treatment. Both require early intervention to stave off further progression. For patients on the autism spectrum, our therapeutic goal is to support mainstreaming of the patient to the point of recovery. Regarding Alzheimer's disease, the course of direction is to facilitate mental stability. Our early results are promising - most patients report a partial return of lost memories and stable mental functioning for years.
