How Chemicals Affect Memory
Memory Loss After Chemotherapy or Toxic Chemical Exposure
Toxins Entering the Brain
The brain has a natural defense called the blood brain barrier to block chemicals from getting in. Any chemical that can slip through this protective wall will affect brain function.
Some drugs target specific areas of the brain, but these drugs actually travel throughout the whole brain and can cause side effects.
Chemotherapy is known to cause chemo brain, but other toxic chemicals like formaldehyde, arsenic, lead, ammonia, and chemicals that outgas from plastics can also cause it.
Toxins Trapped in the Brain
The body usually removes foreign chemicals from the brain within a week or two after an exposure, but for some people the drugs linger.
The body has a natural detoxification process called biotransformation. This natural signaling process facilitates the trapped chemicals to gently leave the brain.
When this signaling process fails, toxins stay in the brain causing unwanted side effects like brain fog, cognitive decline and other cognitive impairments.
Toxins leaving the Brain
- Dr. Lewis strategically identifies the trapped toxin/s in the brain.
- She treats the nervous system with her ISET protocol to resume proper signaling.
- Boosts the brain’s natural detox process with an FSM microcurrent treatment using specific frequencies tailored to the toxin and area affected.
