Inflammatory "INSULTS"

The Impact of Systemic Inflammation on Neurodevelopment --- Trends in Molecular Medicine (2018) --- click image to go to article.

​For many people with PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS ---- from the Research it appears Maternal Immune Activation is a SIGNIFICANT FACTOR.

One of the things that is happening is that the Medical Profession's call to INTEGRATE Physical and Mental Health is PAYING OFF in NEW DISCOVERIES in a BIG WAY.

A lot of our CHRONIC DISEASE & MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES are being linked to the IMMUNE SYSTEM and INFLAMMATION.

Certainly with PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS including blurred Traditional Mental Illnesses such as " Bipolar Disorder", "Depression" and "Schizophrenia" as well as Traditional Developmental Disabilities such as ADHD and AUTISM ---- those all often involve MATERNAL IMMUNE ACTIVATION.

We're talking about something outside of one generation BUT the last time we talked about that our solution was EUGENICS --- that is NOT THE RIGHT ANSWER ---- and the fact of the matter is that these "DISORDERS" are well represented at top of this SOCIETY.

So what happened --- we found out that NOT ALL of "MENTAL ILLNESS" was GENETIC --- just 80%.

• We came up with some problematic medications that work on the brain globally that actually are a big step up from LOBOTOMY (Progress, NOT PERFECTION);
• We got rid of our ASYLUMS, and
• We didn't invest in HIGH-END COMMUNITY TREATMENT largely because we didn't think we needed it --- if those RECALCITRANT MENTAL HEALTH PATIENTS would just take the MEDICATION --- it would be fine.

WELL IT WASN"T FINE.

In 2021, the largest institutions for people with PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS are JAILS & PRISON and BRAIN INJURY is even more prevalent according to the current DATA --- although there is often a lot of overlap --- and I suspect when we start including ADHD in the calculation --- it will look a little different  than our current estimations.

What's that other 20%?  Just PURE FREE WILL, right?  Not exactly.  A big part of that looks like MATERNAL IMMUNE ACTIVATION and EPIGENETICS.

It may be that we have reached A CRITICAL MASS of people with psychiatric disorders, auto-immune diseases and chronic health issues that we're willing to invest in the RESEARCH, TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH and COMMUNITY SUPPORTS that are necessary until better treatments are made available.
