Post by Dr. Candice Griffith, ND: Before this past weekend, I thought that I had an understanding of what is required to offer true treatment for the care of mental illness. I now know that this complex system within the brain and its neurotransmitters requires high levels of training and testing to clinically know that people are receiving true intention to healing. With the ability to take the whole of a person into consideration, this amino acid therapy approach is now a tool within my practice as a Naturopathic Doctor to help with the physical, mental, emotional and even spiritual components of having mental illness. As an excerpt to a handout by Dr. Marty Hinz, MD about depression:
Inadequate levels of neurotransmitters in the brain are the leading cause of depression.
These drugs deplete neurotransmitters leading to depression getting worse and suicide-associated events. Research shows that 7-13% of people taking antidepressants improve above the placebo effect. 100% of people are exposed to the risks of these medications. Check out this handout and illustration of how antidepressants function.
More information to follow as I will soon be starting this therapy at our clinic. Please let me know if you have any questions about any of this.

We are now set and ready to go with our Skin Prick Allergy Testing !
Are you suffering with environmental allergies of unknown cause? It has been years that Terrace has been unable to do the skin scratch testing that gives immediate results as to what specifically you are allergic to - trees, grass, pollen, dust, mold, cat or dog? In one week, we will begin in-office testing through Western Allergy.
We are also offering SLIT treatments, which is an ORAL form of the allergy injections - painless and effective!
Let us know if you have any questions or would like to book in for this service.
