NEUROTOXICITY IN ORDER TO PROPERLY TREAT NT DYSFUNCTION, NEUROTRANSMITTERS MUST BE RAISED TO LEVELS THAT ARE HIGHER THAN NORMAL. SYSTEM DAMAGE MECHANICAL DAMAGE
Neurotoxicity • Can lead to neurotransmitter disease symptoms in patients with normal neurotransmitter levels • Parkinson represents the prototype • Can be caused by Amphetamine use, as well as by any toxic or traumatic substance
CAUSES OF DYSFUNCTION THE THRESHOLD where symptoms resolve NORMAL RANGE defined with sick people X No symptoms in normal patients
