Integrative Nutrition and Neuro-Behavioral Developmental Disorders in Children

Detoxification  

   Foreign and toxic chemicals are produced and released in our environment. Toxic chemicals are among the major causes of acute and chronic health problems. These compounds- if not cleared from the system- can interfere with normal biological processes. Biological testing for toxins can be helpful in providing evidence of toxic exposure and specific treatments for detoxification.

   Although far removed anatomically from the brain, science and medical literature reports that impaired digestion, faulty absorption and inflammation affects the function of the nervous system. Harmful strains of intestinal microbes, allergies, and inflammation are known to produce toxic waste products that can enter the body and brain poisoning the cells.

Blood Chemistry Nutrition 

   Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis takes a mainstream method of lab work and evaluates nutritionally important information to help assess and uncover nutritional needs for optimal health.

   An innovative, science-guided look at nutritional strengths and weaknesses through blood analysis can help uncover the physiological and nutritional needs behind the child's symptoms. A pattern analysis of glucose, lipids, WBC panels, minerals, chemistry panels, thyroid panel, antibodies, and other artifacts are used to see multiple angles of blood physiology to aid in restoring nutritional balance and health.

Neurotransmitters and the Brain 

   The transmission of signals from one neuron to another, across a tiny gap is done by chemicals called neurotransmitters (NT). There are many different NT's that have various functions in the brain that influence thought, mood and behavior. Knowing the characteristics and metabolic pathways of the major NT's, it is possible to affect brain function. When the brain has high or low concentrations of such neurotransmitters as: dopamine, seratonin, acetylcholine, gaba, norepinephrine, or glutamate imbalances in the brain can ensue.

   Current and mounting research is revealing environmental, biological and metabolic abnormalities are at the heart of mental health. Our head-on approach addresses these health problems to assist parents, teachers and other health care professionals. We assist by improving and maximizing the childs metabolic output for optimal brain and body wellness.

Virtual Office Visit

   For your convenience, we offer Virtual Office Visits. In many cases, this means you no longer have to leave your home for this service. With the Virtual Office Visit, we can gather your information and provide test results through e-mail, Facebook (when appropriate), or fax. We will only use HIPPA compliant procedures when handling your personal information.
   Call today for a free consultation to find out what Dr. Kerry Escamilla and Blood Chemistry Nutrition can help you with!
   The form for the Child Neurotransmitter and Nutrition Questionnaire can be found in the New Patients Center tab under Online Forms. Feel free to fill it out and e-mail, Facebook message or fax them over to Dr. Kerry Escamilla.
   We offer a courtesy preliminary assessment for all new patients. Simply send or email a copy of your most recent bloodwork and fill out the questionnaire!
