so today we want to talk about some

natural alternatives to OCD obsessive

compulsive disorder now why should we

even consider using natural remedies

well simply because there’s some slight

minor complications to some of the

treatments involving with OCD so you

have medications like Prozac Celexa

Zoloft Paxil Effexor all of these have

major major side effects and the problem

is once you start them is there ever a

point where you come off them that

you’re cured

the answer is no so you’re going to be

on them for a very very long time and

for some people as time goes on you need

to take more and more of it and so the

more you take the more side effects you

have other surgeries that have side

effects include deep brain stimulation

which is barbaric because you’re

literally drilling a hole in your head

putting a deep electrode into your brain

and if you look this up it says that

it’s safe and effective but if you look

a little further it says that it was

approved through humanitarian device

exception what is that well that’s a

special little exemption that you can

use when there is no evidence of

Effectiveness so is it really effective

I don’t know it sounds pretty invasive

to me especially since when one study I

found 20 percent of the time there’s

non-reversible symptoms like problems

with your gait problems with speech

problems with worsening of your symptoms

and there’s even a treatment called

cycle surgery which they remove part of

your brain as a treatment and in some

cases they may even use ECT the

electroconvulsive therapy for this

condition which we all know his

extremely dangerous that is why we’re

doing this video we’re going to talk

about some other Alternatives that may

be much better much safer and more

effective so what is this OCD well it’s

a situation where you have these

obsessive thoughts impulses to repeat

routines whether it’s wash your hands or

it could be anything but the person

doesn’t have a full control over their

thoughts they have these thoughts that

pop in that are constantly there it’s

very very introverting which means the

person is kind of stuck in their head

all the time there’s a lot of stress

there’s a lot of problem solving a lot

of uncertainty I mean if you if you

think about the purpose of the mind is

to help you solve problems right well to

the degree that you have uncertainties

or doubts you’re not really resolving

the problem the problem is only resolved

when you have no more uncertainties no

more doubts so it’s definitely a attempt

to solve the problem by thinking about

it obsessively but it’s a bit out of the

person’s control there’s some really

good solutions for this problem that I

want to chat about let’s first talk

about

the diet that I would recommend now if

you’ve been watching my videos you know

what I’m going to say it’s called the

keto diet right low carb diet now why is

the ketogenic diet so good for this

condition well because there’s some

really interesting data on the

relationship between

neurons being

starved or lacking energy or fuel and

this huge link to having OCD based on

that what if we were to find an

alternative fuel source for the neurons

for your brain well that just happens to

be ketones ketones bypass damaged

neurons and can feed the neurons

directly without having to even use

glucose as fuel and so if you haven’t

tried the ketogenic diet uh boy I would

try that as the first thing but ketones

do a lot more they actually can act as

an antioxidant because a lot of times in

OCD you have inflammation you have a lot

of excess oxidative damage and so if you

can do something to bypass and use

ketones to as a remedy well that would

be a really good solution also ketones

stabilize the membranes of your nerves

ketones help balance your

neurotransmitters and if you combine the

healthy version of the ketogenic diet

with intermittent fasting together I

think you’ll have an excellent solution

I remember when practice talking to

quite a few people who had OCD and

nearly every single one of them was on a

high carb diet they were not on a

ketogenic diet and when you got them on

the diet itself there is a huge degree

of success now to add to that there are

several remedies that I’m going to

recommend that are based on some good

research which I’m going to put down

below I mean significant improvements

okay just by using these natural

remedies and with much less side effects

than medication and of course you can’t

patent these and it does take away from

the drug industry so don’t expect a lot

more research in this area so I’d

recommend just trying it you have very

little to lose and if it helps you great

the first natural remedy I’m going to

recommend is something called

myoinositol which is part of the B

complex and this remedy is also good

with other things like PCOS fertility

problems anxiety even agoraphobia okay

which is this fear of leaving your house

it’s been a really good randomized

double-blinded control

study on using myoinositol that was in

2011 there’s also another one done in

2013. another good remedy would be NAC

it’s a very powerful antioxidant okay so

I would definitely recommend NAC glycine

is another one you’d want to take that

before bed it’s great for the brain it’s

good for sleeping good for memory

another one is called l-servine okay

l-servine another good remedy to

potentially help you with OCD in

addition it helps you wake up with a lot

more energy it helps your sleep it helps

your focus now the fifth remedy that I’m

going to recommend is I think a very

essential remedy especially for OCD and

many other problems it’s a natural

version of thymine or B1 B1 is awesome

for helping control your thoughts

especially if someone’s been on a high

carb diet but B1 helps reduce the this

other symptom called delirium which has

to do with confused thinking a loss of

focus confusions having disorganized

thoughts B1 can help a person with that

I would recommend taking a natural

version of B1 not a synthetic version

but it’s a precursor for acetylcholine

which is very important in

neurotransmission as well as the

parasympathetic nervous system which

opposes the flight or fight mechanism

the sympathetic nervous system which a

lot of people are stuck in if they have

OCD and anxiety and stress and then the

last thing is start consuming Probiotic

foods kimchi sauerkraut start building

up your gut because there’s a huge

relationship between what’s going on in

your gut and what’s going on in your

head now for more information how to do

the healthy version of the ketogenic

diet okay I put up this simple step by

Step video right here check it out
