"Advanced Amino Acid Therapy"
Frequently Asked Questions
Advanced Amino Acid Therapy is an extremely effective, all natural, drug-free treatment for depression, major mood disorders and many other chronic health problems.
Here are some of the Frequently Asked Questions about Advanced Amino Acid Therapy.
Q: Who are you and how can you help me with my health problems?
A: My name is Kerri Knox. I am a Registered Nurse and Functional Medicine Practitioner. I have worked in ICU's and ER's in hospitals around the country for over 12 years teaching people better ways to manage their chronic health problems. I also have a private practice doing telephone consultations for people all over the United States as a Functional Medicine Practitioner where I assist people in solving their chronic health problems that have not been relieved by conventional medicine. I was trained in Advanced Amino Acid Therapy directly from the doctor who developed the protocols which have been used effectively by tens of thousands of people are in use at over 900 clinics around the world. The company that he started is called NeuroResearch and you can find their information at
NeuroAssist.com.
At the website, you can also find slide shows, radio broadcasts and articles about neurotransmitter deficiency diseases and the science and research behind Advanced Amino Acid Therapy.
Q: How does Advanced Amino Acid Therapy work?
A: It uses amino acid supplementation to provide the building blocks that allow your body to create neurotransmitters. Pharmaceutical companies have known for a very long time that lack of neurotransmitters creates depression and other chronic illnesses.
But instead of fixing the problem with amino acids that can't be patented, they have created drugs that allow neurotransmitters to be 'recycled' or otherwise interfered with so that the neurotransmitters that you DO have last longer. Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI's) and MAO inhibitors are a few of the drugs that, unfortunately, only make the problem worse by 'burning out' the neurotransmitters that you DO have. Advanced Amino Acid Therapy is a much more elegant and efficient solution that simply provides what you are missing in order to make what you need. Neurotransmitters are also 'master hormones' that control your ability to produce ALL other hormones- such as your adrenal, thyroid and sex hormones.
Therefore supplementation with these amino acids help to remedy and balance hormonal deficiencies as well!
Q:What health problems are Advanced Amino Acid Therapy effective for?
A: A Database containing clinic visits from tens of thousands of patients over 12 years show that controlled amino acid therapy is effective in 90% or more people with: Depression Migraine Headaches Anxiety Disorders ADHD/ADD
While there are no specific statistics for the following problems, a large percentage of people report relief from symptoms of: Fibromyalgia Irritable Bowel Syndrome Parkinson's Disease Restless Leg Syndrome Alcohol and Drug Addiction Food Cravings Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Pre Menstrual Syndrome Infertility Insomnia
If you have any other chronic health problems that have been unresolved by conventional medicine, talk to me about doing a trial of controlled amino acid therapy. Many people have reported relief from symptoms of various problems such as Gulf War Syndrome, Alzheimer's Disease, Brain Fog and Memory Loss after traumatic head injury and others. Some people who have NOT had their initial health problem resolve with amino acid therapy, still choose to remain on them anyway. These people report having an increased sense of 'inner strength' and an improvement in their mood that has allowed them to cope with their health problems more effectively.
Q: How do I know that Advanced Amino Acid Therapy will work for me? A: You don't! Even if you've tried MANY other therapies, over 12 years of clinical experience in over 900 clinics around the world show that it is effective for over 90% of people with depression, migranes, anxiety disorders and ADHD, you may be that one of the few that it doesn't work for. But with antidepressants working in only about 15% of depressed people, the odds are about 600% greater that amino acid supplementation will work for you than antidepressants. I also guarantee my consultation fee, so if it doesn't work for you, I don't make any money.
Q: How will I know when Advanced Amino Acid Therapy is working? A: In nearly every case, when amino acid therapy is working, people report that it feels as though a 'light switch' went on for them! They report improved mood, better ability to tolerate stress, and feeling better than they have in years! While nearly everyone's mood improves, the REALLY impressive thing about Advanced Amino Acid Therapy is its ability to solve so many OTHER problems that affect those with mood disorders. Over time, the vast majority of people ALSO report their: Chronic Pain requires less (or no) medication to control Blood Pressure Readings Improving Need for Diabetic Medications reduced or eliminated Circulation problems disappearing Hormonal Problems Stabilizing
Q: What is the specific amino acid supplementation that you use? Advanced Amino Acid Therapy protocols use: 5HTP Tyrosine Cysteine L dopa (from Mucuna Pruriens) B vitamins
in a specific protocol in ratios and amounts that have been shown in over 12 years of clinical work to be effective in the largest number of people.
Q: Tell me more about the amino acid supplementation. A: I use only pharmaceutical grade amino acids that are patent pending and can't be found anywhere on the internet or in stores. They are only supplied to health care providers trained in the use of this controlled amino acid therapy for the sole purpose of distribution to clients using the therapy. The 5HTP is 99.9% pure. Other companies won't state the percentage of 5-HTP in their supplements and even very high quality brands are estimated to be only about 10% 5HTP. Also, the supplement company that provides this amino acid supplementation only exists to provide supplements for THIS controlled amino acid therapy! The supplement company actually works together with -and has a joined Board of Directors with -the doctors who formulated this controlled amino acid therapy. Their goal is to ensure that the highest number of people get relief with the lowest amount of side effects.
Q: How can amino acid supplementation be effective for depression as well as: IBS, anxiety, fibromyalgia, addictions, ADHD, etc.? All of these problems are so different that one thing shouldn't work for them all. A: NeuroResearch discovered by accident that all of these other problems go away with amino acid supplementation. When people being treated for obesity began to say that their chronic health problems went away, they began using the amino acids as a stand alone therapy for these other problems too. Research has since shown that all of these problems are just different outward manifestations of the SAME problem - a low amount of neurotransmitters in the central nervous system from a deficiency of amino acids.
Q: If amino acid supplementation is so effective, then why aren't doctors using it and why have I never heard of it? A: Ahhh... that's always the question with so called 'alternative therapies' that actually work. Drug companies are the main drivers of most research studies. But natural substances like amino acids can't be patented, so drug companies have no incentive to do research on them. Also, disease treatments are rated based on the 'quality' of their studies. The 'gold standard' is the placebo controlled double blind study. These types of studies work well when ONE substance treats the problem. But combination therapies and therapies that don't use ONE dose for everyone don't lend themselves easily to double blind placebo controlled studies. As it is, NeuroResearch uses a type of study called 'Group Outcomes'. They use an approach that adjusts and targets the dosages so that the MOST number of people benefit. This approach has enabled them to develop protocols where, with the help of a provider trained in their use, very high percentages of people obtain relief. 12 years worth of research data shows that they obtain relief in over 90% of people with: depression, migranes and ADHD. Also, these Amino Acid supplementation protocols ARE being used in over 900 clinics around the world- so many doctors ARE using it.
Q: How long will it take for me to feel better using Advanced Amino Acid Therapy? A: Over 80% of people get relief in the first three weeks. Of the other 20%, it could take 1 to 2 months. If relief is not achieved in the first three weeks of therapy, then a urinary neurotransmitter laboratory test is required. This test costs you $155. I send it to you in your home and you send it to the lab in the mail. When I get the results, I call you and make recommendations for dosage changes. If you do not get relief in one week on the new dosing schedule, we repeat this. The average number of tests that the 20% of people requiring these laboratory tests is less than 2. That means that if you are one of those 20% of people that happen to need more than 3 weeks to get relief, that you can expect to feel better with less than 2 laboratory tests.
Q: How long will I need to be on the amino acid supplementation?
A: Just like you must ALWAYS have a certain amount of Vitamin C every day in order to prevent scurvy, Advanced Amino Acid Therapy provides you with the amino acids that your body requires- every day. And just like each person has specific individual needs for vitamins and minerals, people with these health problems just have extremely high amino acid requirements that they need to meet every day in order to prevent their symptoms from returning.
Q: How much will the amino acid supplementation cost each month? A: It's different for each person, but the range is somewhere between $75.00 to $150 per month. If you experience relief of symptoms at low dosages, your monthly cost will be less than people who find relief with much higher dosages. Once you experience relief of symptoms, I will be able to tell you exactly how much your monthly cost will be -and your amino acid requirements rarely, if ever, change.
Q: I'm already taking antidepressants(or other assorted medications), can I still do Advanced Amino Acid Therapy? A: Yes, these protocols have been used on tens of thousands of people with medical problems of all kinds. There have been NO incidences of interactions with any pharmaceuticals. It is important, however, that we discuss what medications that you are currently taking. Depending upon what you are taking, it may be advisable to decrease or stop certain medications while you are on Advanced Amino Acid Therapy.
Q: Can Advanced Amino Acid Therapy be used by the elderly, children, lactating women or pregnant women? A: Yes, they are safe for anyone. The only caution is to avoid the supplements in the first trimester of pregnancy. Children, the elderly or anyone else who can't or just doesn't want to swallow pills can open the pills and mix the contents into yogurt or applesauce.
