Mental Health Series Introduction

Introducing the mental health series in relation to my advocacy of micronutrients in all things health for that matter. Mental health is risky for me to cover as it’s even easier to be labelled a quack on the subject. All that matters is the mainstream mental health tropes, even more than cancer and supposed genetic disease. Mental health is required to have a counselling support part in the mix, together with meds, genetic longitudinal study, and possible developmental and trauma investigations in there somewhere. Where is the nutrition mainstream professionals?

As part of my bias of micronutrients I’ll be counterintuitively suggesting (according to the mainstream) micro-nutrition as part of sorting out the bricks and mortar part of brain function. Then perhaps with a cleaner slate we could solve further issues if any. Cholesterol will be a friend and not foe in this high efficacy outcome matrix while I also move away from the micronutrients knitting part of my specialty. Addressing the meaning crisis is one idea I’ll be unpacking in the YouTube series. We need to bring back some philosophy into areas in our functional lives as all this hyper-specialising approach is fragmenting our understanding of health and other parts of life also.

I might be required to criticise the whole mental health field as it is a field of study most replete of nutrition uniformity and concensus. Subject to all of the emotional theories of any other faith based endeavour in health. Every century has had the embarrassing reality of thousands of wrong medical theories and I’m afraid we are not immune to even more wrong theories in this century as the number of hypotheses multiply parabolically, therefore even more wrong theories. While mental health problems are seemingly on the rise, why then aren’t our learned professionals curbing this? I may well curb the spread in one swoop of rational thought - the most known right micronutrients approach. Hoping to help a few of the few that even decide to engage in this profound health approach.
