WHAT IS THE GABA CHALLENGE?

The GABA Challenge is a test for the integrity of your Blood Brain Barrier (BBB). If compromised or damaged, your risk for neurodegneration and vaccine reactions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder increases. The BBB is a semi-permeable (some things can go through) “wall” that filters needed proteins, nutrients, and hormones into the brain, and keeps “not needed” OUT of the brain.

Not too much different from your skin. The skin is also a barrier system for your body and it keeps a world of dirt and microbes on the outside. What happens when that barrier system is compromised, such as a cut or scrape? The answer, of course, is inflammation, which looks bad and painful. Inflammation is your body’s immune response to any invasions, such as dirt, bacteria, and viruses.

Now think of this barrier around your brain, only cut up, scratched up and scabbed up. The cells within that barrier, now being bathed in inflammation, are your Brain Cells!

This inflammatory process will greatly increase your probability of neurodegenerative diseases of aging such as Alzheimer’s disease, and if you’re a child, your routine vaccination allows mercury and formaldehyde to cross the broken barrier, and you end up with an acute inflammatory response we call Autism Spectrum!

The GABA Challenge test involves taking a neuropeptide (big word for protein), called GABA that is naturally made in every cell of your body. When every cell produces their own GABA, brain cells would have to produce it to feel it in your brain. It does not travel from the kidney to the brain, and it doesn’t cross the blood brain barrier if you consume it.

The neuropeptides that work in the brain include GABA, which feels super relaxed and/or asleep. Acetylcholine, which feels like laying on a beach and taking in all the sounds, deep contemplation and/or reflexion on a grateful memory. Serotonin, which feels like accomplishing something or happy for nothing. Dopamine, which feels like a party for you, love, or giving a speech. Adrenaline and Noradrenaline which feel like worry, excitement, fear, or exhilaration.

GABA is the only inhibitory neuropeptide, acting like the brake pedal to slow your brain down. All the others are excitatory or stimulating to the nervous system.

When you take a drug that stimulates GABA production in the brain, you inhibit your inhibitions, start to feel more relaxed, and if you keep consuming, you slow down, get tired, feel sluggish, and lose coordination. If you keep consuming, you will lose consciousness.

Alcohol and Valium are probably the most famous GABA stimulators. If you have ever tried either, you know exactly what I mean.

Consuming GABA directly shouldn’t do this. Alcohol crosses the blood brain barrier, GABA does not. When we take GABA internally, we should not feel brain inhibition. There should not be a slowing, intoxication, or incoordination feeling at all. There should be no brain effect at all.

INSTRUCTIONS

About 1-2 hours after dinner, on a night that you have nothing planned, take the 2 GABA capsules.
Go about your business (like I said, don’t have anything important planned)
Notice any unusual slowing down type feelings, ranging from mildly intoxicated, uncoordinated, lethargic, or simply slowed down.
Notice any excitation, agitation, or other stimulation such as feeling wired, which will happen in approximately 20% of the cases of compromised BBB. Most will feel inhibited.
Go to bed. If you are slowed, it will be gone by the morning.
ANY change, excitation or inhibition is a positive test for damage to the Blood Brain Barrier.

If you have a positive test, don’t get a vaccine containing mercury or formaldehyde!

Follow these nutrition guidelines and get True Tissue Heal and True Pain Relief from our online store, to prevent Neuro-Degenerative conditions.

That combination will heal all the barriers, including the intestinal barrier, aka Leaky Gut Syndrome. Well, unless you had underlying chronic infections in your gut. If you are tired of “trying the next thing,” you can start with our lab test that specifies what YOUR needs are.

It would work for the skin too, if used topically and internally, but we have True Wound Mend that is prepared more for topical use.

Would you like to do this test without buying a whole bottle of GABA capsules for 2 capsules?

If you order True Calm for Anxiety, True Allergy for seasonal Allergies, True Sleep for falling asleep insomnia, or True Blood Sugar Balance for blood sugar problems, and I’ll toss in two GABA 500 mg pills in a little baggie.

Shop around and buy anything that fits you, to improve digestion, energy, or build up stress resilience. Then type “GABA” or “gaba” in the comments and I’ll include 2 capsules to try the GABA test for yourself, or 4 capsules, maybe even 6 if you request.

True Health Functional Medicine Clinic

In medicine, the goal of treatment is to manage the symptoms or slow the progression of the disease process that has overtaken your body. Expectations are fairly low. “There is no cure for your disease, so this is the best we can manage it.” Cancer treatment is victorious if you increase the probability of living more than five years or extend the normal life expectancy of a person with whatever disease…even by a few months.

What if we chose a different goal? Something exciting like “best ever. “

This concept came to me after a discussion with a patient who was about to turn 69. She shared with me that she feels her BEST EVER. Her energy, happiness, resilience to stress and her overall health and vitality are BEST EVER, as compared to her experience as a kid, and anytime in her adult life. She feels BEST EVER at age 69.

She first visited True Health Functional Medicine Clinic in January of 2009,

experiencing what she described as her worst ever (please excuse the picture. Hers was the case study I posted that I was cited for treating a medical condition and terminated from insurance. I asked if she’d pose for a more appropriate picture, lol). She had an autoimmune thyroid condition called Hashimoto’s, plus a diagnosis of Fibromyalgia. She was sick, tired, and in severe pain. And naming her suffering didn’t relieve the suffering even 1%.

She had to leave her career because she couldn’t handle the stress of working. She didn’t have the energy or strength to do it or she hurt too much to do it and she was certain she would be dead if she attempted to continue.

At the point I met her, she had little hope, little money, no direction (for improving her health) and no income. Dying was beginning to look like a viable option; at least the pain would end, and she wouldn’t have to worry about becoming homeless. But she wasn’t quite ready for life to end. Ending her career was a decision to extend her life, no matter how much pain there was.

Yes, WORST EVER.

And now, BEST EVER.

It got me thinking. Thinking about the concept of wellness, and my long time patients. Melissa has been checked at least monthly for many years. She is the most consistent fixture in my practice, besides me, my first patient ever.

I started to reflect on my suffering, which was mild compared to hers, but was a pretty good list. Anxiety, shoulder pain, allergies, and although I had never complained about my energy, I had to take naps all through my late teens and 20s. Now, my pain levels are best ever along with energy, stress resilience, anxiety levels, allergies, flexibility, and I’d say happiness too!

Then my kiddos momma, who was nearing 40 at that time. She had chronic migraines, allergies, ear infections (even into college), terrible cramping with her cycle, and

all of that is best ever. Moods, tail bone pain, TMJ pain, shoulder pain, all best ever.

Scoliosis was best ever, which I noticed when she was bending over and looking across her back I saw no “rib hump!”

I asked another “regular” patient about his best ever’s. He said his ankle, knee and hip pain is best ever. He said he used to regularly use 800MG ibuprofen for pain and would almost always hurt after playing basketball which he played competitively in high school and college. He also said his ability to manage stress and emotions is best ever.

Most, if not all, of my patients come in for problem solving, and some don’t come back until the next problem arises. Some remember the help we provided, and others fall back into the “normal” routine of visiting the “real” doctor. A few even went the route of getting named and categorized, and managing the symptoms before remembering True Health.

Others keep coming once or twice a month to accept my care without expectation, which never hurts. And tends to lead to best ever!

BEST EVER. I propose that as the new goal for your health care investment.

One more question for the people enjoying best ever at 40, 50, 60 and even 70s; did you suffer great financial loss on your journey that led to True Health and finally healing? A: “My financial stability increased while my health came into balance.”
