Truth can lead you onto A Path to Wellness

Dr. Jackson’s focus is the root cause

Using natural, homeopathic, & functional medicine. The molecular concentrations of many substances normally present in the brain affect the brain's functioning. Biochemical and genetic arguments support the idea that orthomolecular therapy and mental avitaminosis symptoms are sometimes observed long before any physical symptoms appear. The brain is likely more sensitive to changes in the concentration of vital substances than are other organs and tissues. Moreover, there is the possibility that for some persons the cerebrovascular concentration of a vital substance may be grossly low at the same time that the concentration in the blood and lymph is essentially normal. A physiological abnormality such as decreased permeability of the blood-brain barrier for the vital substance or increased rate of metabolism of the substance in the brain may lead to a cerebral deficiency and to a mental disease. Diseases of this sort may be called localized cerebral deficiency diseases. It is suggested that the genes responsible for abnormalities (deficiencies) in the concentration of vital substances in the brain may be responsible for increased penetrance of the postulated gene for schizophrenia and that the so-called gene for schizophrenia may itself be a gene that leads to a localized cerebral deficiency in one or more vital substances.

Dr. Jackson Practices Natural, Homeopathic, And Functional Medicine.

Assisted by the biopsychosocial model of health psychology, a deeper understanding of mind-body-spirit emerges as we explore the psychological, neurological, endocrine (hormonal), and immunological functions of our bodies.  The breadth of understanding offered by this holistic approach to wellness helps us target the more fundamental determinants of health. Our awareness through this larger paradigm is now that health is not simply a lack of illness, but a true state of wellness on many levels.  

As we move toward a state of overall wellness that takes us to deeper levels of understanding of ourselves, we uncover the truths within ourselves that open us to a greater awareness, health, and wellness.  A true path to wellness is traversed as the underlying physiological and psychological causes of health issues are addressed. The symptoms abate not through targeted symptomatic medicine, but through a transition that occurs as a natural consequence of truly addressing the underlying causes of disorders, rather than just the symptoms.
