Detoxification

• Responsible for cleaning of excess
  neurotransmitters
• Metabolism of neurotransmitters
• Methylation

13
Methylation
Dopamine
Epinephrin
Norepinephrin
14

Vibrational Medicine

• Can be made specific to
• Enzymes
• Co-factors
• Detoxification factors
• Receptors
• Transport proteins

• Reuptake inhibitors

• Transcription factors
• Transcription activation domains

38
Pathways Customized Neurotransmitters

• Stimulate enzymes to effect level of
  neurotransmitters
• Stimulate enzymes which effect the co-factors
• Absorption
• Re-Uptake
• Auto regulation
• Receptor activity

• Transport protein production and activity
• Effect ion transport
• Impact cell healing ability
• Impact immune activity within the brain
• Remove viruses, bacteria, and funguses from the
  brain
