Re: Brain Fog

Brain fog is a mental state where your memory is clouded and unclear. It is not a state of loss of memory, immediate or past. It is a state where your memory appears to be "so close and yet so far" in terms of the ability to recall. Sometimes you cannot remember where you put your keys, or what you did yesterday. You are confused. It is often associated with adrenal fatigue, hormonal imbalance, PMS, estrogen dominance, heavy metal poisoning, and hypothyroidism.

Brain fog usually is transient in its duration, lasting anywhere from hours to days, and in advance cases, can become chronic, as in your case.

The exact pathophsyiology is unclear. Most people complaining of brain fog usually have concurrent adrenal fatigue or some form of hormonal imbalance.While the mold etc can trigger it to start, brain fog continues because of internal constitutional weakness that often involve the clearing system.

When the body is decompensated, the ability to metabolize nutrient, food, and medication is reduced. Some of these metabolites are fat soluble. The brain is lipohilic, and has a tendency to attract these metabolites, usually from the liver. The metabolites circulate to the brain and have tendencies to stay there instead of circulating out quickly. Excessive metabolite build up in the brain over time impedes brain function, resulting in a state called brain fog. This is one current hypothesis.


Brain fog usually goes away as the body's detoxification system kicks in. But if the system is not performing optimally, brain fog may stay for a long time. Some people try to do various types of detoxification, thinking that it would help. Sometimes it does, but most of the time, inexperienced detoxification can lead to worsen the brain fog, esp if there is candida on board and adrenal weakness.

During the detoxification process, more metabolites can be released into the circulation, with symptoms such as fever, muscle and joint pain, and general malaise.

There is no medicine to relief brain fog. There is no lab test needed. Most nutritional supplements that enhance liver function tend to make the condition worse and not better for those who try to navigate these themselves due to the lack of experience and possible re-toxification type reactions.

The good news is that most brain fog usually goes away in a matter of weeks if the body get the right nutrient to restart the clearing system with natural compunds, and the cost is minimal. so the bottom line is that it is not hard to recover for most.
