Autism, epilepsy, schizophrenia, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, attention deficit, hyperactivity, dyslexia, dyspraxia, neuropathies, narcolepsy, etc.; all these conditions which alter the functioning of the central nervous system and the mind may be treated with natural approaches, whereby nutrition and toxicology play a fundamental role.
Neurotoxins, both endogenous (produced by the body itself) and exogenous (stemming from outside the body) are the main responsible substances for the diseases that concern us. Other sources of disturbance of cognitive and mental function are the deficit of nutrients, the disorder of neurotransmitters, the inflammation caused by the immune system and the oxidative stress.
In this article I will expose the main arguments supporting alternative schools that offer solutions to these diseases, as well as the proposal of LivingFullyNourished.
 

A research study shows that the innate immune system reacts against gluten in both celiac and non-celiac people producing interleukins, a kind of inflammatory substances. That means that we all are indeed sensitive to gluten.
The difference between celiac and non-celiac people remains in the adaptative immune system, that is to say, the antibodies produced against gluten.
In other studies, hundreds of diseases have been linked to gluten sensitivity. 
 

Currently most of our babies are born enjoying good health. However, some of them do cry non-stop for hours, sleep little, eat too little or eat too often, have problems with reflux or vomiting, become sick on first exposure to the virus of their siblings, have dermatitis, conjunctivitis and various infections; and we still have not mentioned premature babies and other worrisome conditions like jaundice, febrile convulsions, etc. Regarding the mother, she often does not have enough milk to breastfeed and needs a supplementary feeding bottle, moreover, there may be frequent complications of childbirth and the cesarean rate is rising more and more, etc.
We consider all these problems to be normal: the heart-rending cries, the lack of sleep ..., we tend to say: this is what you are supposed to go through when you have a baby! But, is it really "normal"? Would it not be the normal case to have a happy baby, who can easily be comforted when its needs are met, having no problems sleeping, eating well and growing properly?
 

We speak of constipation when someone is unable to pass stool regularly. The frequency of the regularity depends on each person, but we generally consider it as constipation when someone feels the need to defecate but this person does not achieve to do so, due to a lack of intestinal motility. 
Constipation is detrimental because the stagnant stool rots in the large bowel, which leads to harmful toxins in the body. Apart from that, people also tend to have an uncomfortable feeling of unease. 
There are many theories about the causes of constipation. In this article you will be able to read about some of them as well as understand the ways to deal with it.
In the second part of the article some remedies are exposed.
 

In the previous article the main causes of constipation were discussed. In the current article the pros and cons of the different approaches to the treatment of constipation will be explained: from conventional medicine to natural and nutritional remedies as well as other therapies.
