The Neurotransmitters of NOW website is an educational resource providing information for healthcare professionals and healthcare consumers about the root causes of human suffering and about practical, proven solutions.  In an age of environmental degradation and dietary insanity (junk food), human suffering is increasingly due to an over-exposure to environmental (exogenous) and endogenous neurotoxins and also to nutritional deficiencies, which interfere with optimal brain chemistry and neurotransmitter function.  Some neurotransmitters are designed to enhance joy and pleasure (bonding) and to modify pain and stress (coping) and when they are deficient a great body of scientific evidence strongly suggests that suffering ensues. 
  Terms such as coping, bonding and psychological suffering have in the past been ascribed to psychological or psychospiritual issues, but with the advent of the neurosciences we now know that coping, bonding, psychological suffering and other issues related to the human psyche are often dictated by the condition of one's brain chemistry, such as nutritional status, neurotoxicity and neurotransmitter balance, and may have little or nothing to do with psychological or spiritual factors. 
  At the very least, those who provide psychotherapy and counseling to those who are suffering from mental disorders are ethically obligated to offer some assistance about the nutritional, toxicity and neurotransmitter causes of suffering.  To ignore the amassed scientific information presented here which has essentially been proven beyond a shadow of doubt, that nutritional, toxicity and neurotransmitter issues are indeed an important issue causing psychological suffering in many people, and/or to fail to order diagnostic testing to determine precisely what those causal factors are, and/or to prescribe psychotropic drugs blindly which only worsens toxicity or overall toxic load, accelerates the potential for brain injury and puts patients at risk for addiction to psychiatric drugs, is obviously the height of stupidity and a sociocultural tragedy.  The fact that psychiatry is now the only medical specialty which does not test the organ it treats, is ethically inexcusable and morally indefensible. 
  The Neurotransmitters of NOW website regards all psychotropic drug use as simply another source of neurotoxicity which compounds the problems with cumulative neurotoxicity or toxic load.  The Neurotransmitters of NOW website does not distinguish between psychotropic  toxins as to whether they are illicit, legal or prescribed, and they are all regarded here as inherently addictive, brain injurious and an anathema towards authentic healing and psychospiritual transformation.  The massive abuse and overuse of psychotropic chemicals is a menace to human civilization, and the medical profession and psychiatry is only "adding fuel to a fire" which is burning out of control.  
  The Neurotransmitters of NOW website provides specific nutritional, detoxification and neurotransmitter balancing methodologies to assist healthcare consumers who are drug addicted or who are being treated with psychotropic drugs, to heal their brain chemistry and/or to engage in a recovery of mind, body and spirit.  Heretofore, recovering addicts have not been provided with the "body" or physical brain healing dimension of a recovery of mind, body and spirit by the medical community or by those who specialize in the treatment of addictions, which is why recovery rates are so dismal.  
  The Neurotransmitters of NOW website offers a remedial approach, a much needed historical course correction, which could radically improve the human condition.  The Neurotransmitters of NOW website provides the specific details about this process of authentically healing the brain as an organ of the body which is actually not unlike in its basic needs and function than any other organ of the body.  Brain healing at the physical level is a recommended first step prior to engaging in psychospiritual practices, such as psychotherapy, stress management, lifestyle changes, prayer and meditation. Effforts in these pursuits could be wasted and healthcare consumers who tried valiantly to engage in such paths to spiritual growth could become disillusioned and cynical.   
  The Neurotransmitters of NOW website also supports the education of healthcare professionals and organizations by providing information about webinar continuing education approved trainings and certifications and continuing education approved workshops and lectures for healthcare professionals.
