Neuro-Endocrine-Immune Connections
The evidence is compelling and useful for presentations from ADHD to Addiction, to Brain Injury and Bipolar Disorder.

We use NeuroScience Inc for Neurotransmitter, Hormone and Immune testing.
Brain evidence moves from the synaptic to the presynaptic, to  extrasynaptic, to presynaptic modifiers, to presynaptic precursors. Neurotransmitters can be measured as biomarkers and specifically corrected.

Brain and Immunity

-With just a bit of digging around you will see that debate exists about which way to go, what to do clinically with measurement of neurotransmitters. In an effort to provide fair and balanced remarks I am including these other reference from Marty Hinz MD, who disagrees with the NeuroScience protocols discussed above.
- My reaction to this discussion at this moment: Let’s first use these findings as biomarkers and see who is right regarding office protocol and patient compliance – my office experience encourages the use of urinary amino acids as biomarkers.
- My practice position at this time: specific evidence first, then treatment, -  I don’t agree that the first line should be a simple trial of non-targeted amino acid precursors as suggested by Dr Hinz, but I am looking forward to spending more time with his training to further understand the nuances of his neurophysiologic insights. Clients that I see in my office are skeptical about this new science in the first place, want up-front evidence, and appreciate the biomarker assessments. I personally have had considerable success using the NeuroScience model of inquiry – am simply trying to find the best, most predictable path at this moment. If NeuroScience proves ineffective, I will change what I am doing. My patients request: show me the details first.
- And for those nay-sayers who think Dr Kellerman is not sufficiently peer reviewed, I would counter saying simply: See his references listed here and elsewhere. Neuroscience testings work in my office remarkably consistently with no harm, and surprisingly predictable responses with the recommended treatments.
- Important Note: neurotransmitters are simply not the only answer to complex issues, as multiple dysregulatioins need to be completely evaluated, another strong point supporting NeuroScience’s comprehensive overview of neurotransmitter challenges including endocrine & immune testing . Stay tuned…
