Focus & Concentration Issues

One source of focus and concentration issues is heavy metals such as mercury and aluminum in the cerebral midline canal, “sprinkled” throughout the brain, or both. When metals reside in the brain, they often dampen electrical activity, causing the brain to try to adapt by increasing electrical output, which brings on temporary bouts of clarity. That results in overheating, so then the brain must go into extreme cooling, which ends up reducing electrical activity, leading someone to flip-flop back to moments of poor concentration.

Focus and concentration issues can also come from a chronic viral infection, where a virus such as EBV is feeding off toxic heavy metals such as mercury and aluminum, releasing neurotoxins that float through the bloodstream to the brain, saturating neurotransmitter chemicals that are around or sitting on neurons. When this occurs, the electrical impulses running across neurons short-circuit because of the polluted neurotransmitters, resulting in trouble staying tuned to a task or conversation.

What’s now occurring is a new wave of dangerous chemicals being produced every day by the chemical industry and pumped into our environment for our children and pets to ingest and inhale. These toxic chemical substances are adding to the viral fuel while also adding to neuron toxicity, complementing the toxic heavy metals already present and exacerbating focus and concentration issues from which people already suffer.

Sometimes focus and concentration seem to improve randomly on their own, and sometimes they get worse. One theory is that the gut has everything to do with the brain, and so cleaning up the gut automatically improves mental clarity. This theory is misleading. The real reason that someone can focus more easily when they start eating better is that removing unhealthy foods removes viral fuel, which in turn results in fewer neurotoxins to interfere with brain activity. It’s not all about cleaning up the intestinal tract and restoring bacterial balance to the gut.
