Lack of cellular fuel is recognized as a key feature of chronic fatigue, apathy, depression, anxiety, alcohol and drug addiction, immune dysfunction, headaches, memory disturbance, sleep problems, focus and concentration defects and chronic disease and all of these need to be addressed and corrected in substance abuse recovery.

Brain cells and neurotransmitter function are fueled by multiple factors such as oxygen, NAD or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, vitamins, minerals, complex carbohydrates, proteins and fats and hydrogen. Mineral deficient diets, lack of exercise and shallow breathing due to stress are common factors that can reduce the amount of cellular energy in the brain.

PEMF is used in addiction and substance abuse recovery programs due to its affects on the energy in the brain, but it should be used as part of a comprehensive Neurotransmitter Restoration Therapy (NTR) plan. For more information on NTR, please visit the MindBody Medicine Center in Arizona.
