The document discusses a talk given by Dr. Louis Cady on 21st century medicine, focusing on taking an integrated approach to optimizing hormone levels and overall health rather than just treating disease, with examples of evaluating and treating patients with hormone deficiencies even when conventional tests are considered "normal".
Two Docs Talk - Cady & Gabhart "On the road again" - Owensboro, KYLouis Cady, MD
This document summarizes a talk given by two doctors on balancing thyroid, adrenal, and sex hormones. It discusses how these hormones can impact fatigue, depression, and other symptoms when suboptimal, and how testing and treatment can help optimize hormone levels to support health and well-being. Functional medicine testing and bioidentical hormone replacement therapies are presented as alternatives to conventional approaches.
This document discusses the relationship between nutrition and mental health. It provides an overview of common medications used to treat mental health conditions like depression and anxiety. It emphasizes using a whole-foods, nutrient-dense diet and supplements like omega-3, multivitamins, and herbal remedies as part of an integrative approach to mental health. Testing methods and resources for making healthy food choices are also outlined. The document is presented by Dr. Ric Saguil to promote an alternative perspective on mental health treatment focusing on nutrition and lifestyle factors.
The document discusses how nutrition and diet are closely linked to mental health and functioning. Chronic high carbohydrate consumption and blood sugar imbalances can negatively impact the brain and nervous system over time, potentially leading to issues like anxiety, depression, cognitive decline, and Alzheimer's disease. Addressing underlying nutritional deficiencies, food sensitivities, and blood sugar regulation is seen as essential for optimal mental wellness and stability.
These are the final two lectures given by Dr. Cady in Salt Lake City, UT on June 1, 2012. The first lecture deals with the use of hormones in traditional psychiatry and medicine, as supported by the peer reviewed literature. The second lecture, which is in this slide deck "back to back" with the first one, is on what Dr. Cady refers to as "Pedal to the Metal Allopathic Psychiatry." That is - using medications with finesse and, when indicated, with forcefulness. Functional and integrated medicine does not mean sitting around eating fruits, nuts, and flakes, but rather using the best techniques and tools that we have available to us from all fields of medicine (including traditional, classical allopathic medicine).

Thyroid, Adrenals, & Sex Hormones: A Balancing ActLouis Cady, MD
This document summarizes key points about balancing thyroid, adrenal, and sex hormones for optimal health and mental wellness. It discusses how these hormone systems can become imbalanced, leading to fatigue, depression, and other symptoms. The document contrasts an "optimal" level of hormone functioning with merely being in the "normal" range. It also critiques conventional medical approaches and advocates an integrated approach considering all aspects of these hormone systems.
AHS13 Grayson Wheatley - What is Optimal Health? Complexity Science, Chaos Th...Ancestral Health Society
An ancestral lifestyle relies on alignment of nutrition, physical activity and sleep for achieving optimal health and well-being. New research in complexity science - a rapidly evolving body of work that studies dynamic networking systems - has cast doubt on the effectiveness of how we measure expected outcomes in health and medicine. Complex systems may better explain human health by focusing not on single data elements as “cause-and-effect” but on the interactions among complex biological systems. The implications of complexity science and chaos theory on leading an ancestral lifestyle and achieving optimal health will be discussed.

HOW TO SAVE MONEY ON YOUR HEALTHCARE: An Integrative Medicine ApproachLouis Cady, MD
In this webinar, the fourth in a series of five from Dr. Louis Cady and the Cady Wellness Institute, we focus on the actual dollars and cents of health care expenditures, and the societal and PERSONAL costs of poor health maintenance behavior. We examine the essentially passive US medical system, that would rather drug a symptom than fix the underlying problem.
Great attention is paid on not shaming the patient or the doctors as they exist in the current system. Both groups "do not know what they do not know." Confirmation bias is rampant.
This webinar points the way to living a more vital, energetic life, with a minimum of cost, grief, and misery.
Although typically not thought of as a major medical concern, hormone imbalances affect millions of people all over the world and can dramatically hinder the daily lives of both men and women. As we age, hormone levels such as Testosterone, Estrogen and Thyroid, Progesterone, DHEA, Pregnenolone, Melatonin and Cortisol drop or become imbalanced.
Bio Identical or Natural Hormone Replacement Therapymiddela
The document discusses bioidentical hormone restoration as a means to replace hormones lost due to aging. It argues that losing hormones is not adaptive and leads to various health issues. Restoring youthful hormone levels through bioidentical replacements can improve health, prevent disease, and enhance quality of life by treating symptoms caused by hormone deficiencies. Common hormones that decline with age include testosterone, growth hormone, DHEA, progesterone, and estrogen.

Bhide Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and Evidence Based Treatment o...Vandana Bhide
This document discusses compounded bioidentical hormone therapy (CBHT). It defines bioidentical hormones as compounds that have the same chemical structure as endogenous hormones. CBHT involves custom-compounded formulations prescribed by a healthcare provider and dispensed by a pharmacy. Several medical organizations recommend against CBHT due to lack of FDA approval and standardization. The document reviews the endocrine system, plant-derived hormone precursors, hormone receptors, and formulations like bi-est and tri-est. It notes concerns about estriol and increased breast cancer risk with testosterone supplementation.
Power Foods for the Brain, a new book by noted nutrition researcher and New York Times best-selling author Neal Barnard, M.D., reveals how simple diet changes can shield the brain from memory loss, stroke, and Alzheimer’s.

THE EFFECT OF THE DIET ON BRAIN NEUROTRANSMITTERS AND NURSING IMPLICATIONJaber Hihiden
This document discusses the effect of diet on brain neurotransmitters and the implications for nursing. It begins with an overview of brain physiology and neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, and GABA. It then examines how certain amino acids that are precursors to these neurotransmitters can be obtained through foods like meats, eggs, nuts, and legumes. The nursing implications section discusses how nutritional interventions may help treat mental illnesses by optimizing neurotransmitter function and decreasing the need for psychotropic medications. In conclusion, maintaining a healthy brain through diet is important for quality of life, as certain foods can improve neurotransmitter functioning.
In this, the second part of the "Queen of Denial" lecture for Deaconess Women's Hospital, Dr. Cady takes up where Dr. Gabhart left off, reviewing - briefly and succinctly - the following topics: the needless "psychiatric victimization" of women, discrimination against women in terms of optimal levels of hormones (including testosterone), and the dangers of low DHEA, low cortisol, and low thyroid. The emphasis is that there are BIOLOGICAL things that are frequently wrong, and simply looking at the supposedly "psychiatric" or "depressed" symptoms is frequently barking up the wrong tree.
Perinatal hormones, mood, and cognition - 2007Hormones Matter
1) The document discusses hormones and their relationship to mood disorders in women, specifically during reproductive stages like puberty, pregnancy, postpartum, and menopause.
2) It presents research showing elevated levels of the adrenal androgen DHEAS are associated with psychiatric symptoms in the postpartum period, while lower levels of pregnancy testosterone may be an early warning sign.
3) The research found that as hormone levels like DHEAS and progesterone normalized in the year following childbirth, psychiatric symptoms tended to abate, though chronically elevated DHEAS was linked to ongoing issues.
The document discusses various topics related to the mind, including gratitude, mindfulness, neuroplasticity, epigenetics, the unconscious mind, mental practice, visualization, and the placebo effect. It provides examples of research showing how mental practices like meditation can positively impact the brain and biological systems, and discusses how experiences shape the structure of the brain through chemical changes and the wiring of neurons.
The document discusses the importance of sleep for health and provides tips for improving sleep. It notes that sleep between 11 PM - 1 AM is important for optimal functioning as it allows for deep sleep and REM sleep. It warns that lack of sleep can increase risks of various diseases and conditions. The document recommends getting checked for chiropractic subluxations, losing weight, avoiding stimulants before bed, keeping a regular sleep schedule and dark/cool bedroom to promote better sleep.
Many men experience symptoms of erectile dysfunction (ED) as they age. Also known as impotence, ED is an occasional (or prolonged) inability to get or maintain an erection. When ED occurs frequently, you might need treatment for an underlying health issue.

Prepared for second year medical students - a discussion of the medical claims made by popular health trendsetters in the press, why large audiences flock to these 'news' outlets, how this impacts health literacy of the population, and the role of medical practitioner to promote health and health literacy.
This document discusses connections between movement, mood, and memory. It explores mood disorders like depression and Alzheimer's disease, and how exercise can positively impact both. Regular exercise is suggested to reduce risks of many chronic diseases, as well as depression and Alzheimer's. The benefits of exercise are explained from psychological, neurogenic, and neurochemical perspectives. Goals and strategies for starting an exercise routine are also outlined.
This document discusses hormone replacement therapy using bioidentical hormones. It notes that hormones play an important role in health for both men and women, and that hormone imbalance can cause many symptoms. Pellet therapy is presented as the most effective delivery method for bioidentical hormones, providing steady levels without side effects. The benefits of hormone balancing for conditions like menopause, andropause, osteoporosis, Alzheimer's, heart health, and arthritis are summarized. Key takeaways emphasize finding an expert for individualized hormone testing and therapy.
This is the second of five lectures given by Dr. Cady in Santa Fe, NM for the 2012 IMMH conference. It covers the need to identify the hormonal deficiencies of a patient, and ways to remediate them.
The document discusses the relationship between exercise, mood disorders like depression, and Alzheimer's disease. It provides information on the basics of mood disorders and Alzheimer's, statistics on prevalence, and modifiable risk factors like exercise. Regular exercise is associated with reduced risk of depression by impacting psychology, neurogenesis, and neurochemistry. Exercise also delays the onset and reduces the risk of Alzheimer's possibly by influencing conditions like hypertension, obesity, and diabetes that are themselves risk factors.
Transition from allopathic to integrated medical practiceLouis Cady, MD
This is the keynote lecture of the series of three lectures that Dr. Cady presented to the World Link Medical seminar in Salt Lake City, Utah on June 1, 2012.
The Integrative Treatment of Depression, Schizophrenia & Autism - IMMH 2015Louis Cady, MD
This is the first of three lectures given by Dr. Cady at the 6th annual Integrative Medicine and Mental Health Conference in San Diego, on September 18, 2015. In it, Dr. Cady deconstructs the contributing factors to either exacerbating or causing a diagnosable mental disorder. The use of understanding the pathophysiology of the entire body, and not just firing antidepressants and other psychotropic drugs blindly into the patient without thinking, is clearly reviewed.
The document discusses an integrative medicine presentation on hypothyroidism and the thyroid. It provides background on the speaker's commercial relationships and credentials. The presentation examines the limitations of conventional thyroid testing and treatment, exploring additional factors like selenium, iron, and cortisol that can impact thyroid function at the tissue level. It advocates for a more comprehensive evaluation and management of hypothyroidism that considers multiple nutritional and lifestyle factors.
The powerpoint presentation delivered LIVE at CWI 4/15/2010 by Louis B. Cady, MD, Founder and CEO of Cady Wellness Institute, on the topic of Max GXL, glutathione augmentation, and vitamin supplementation.
This document provides information about Bruce Godfrey, a chiropractor, and discusses holistic approaches to health. It covers topics like the causes of chronic illness (toxicity and deficiency), the effects of stress on the body, the role of diet and lifestyle in gene expression and health, and offers recommendations like managing stress, daily exercise, a whole foods diet, drinking clean water, and chiropractic care to improve overall health and wellness.
Dr. Patrick Garrett is a chiropractor and clinical nutritionist who specializes in using lifestyle and dietary changes to reverse chronic health conditions. He believes that food can have a significant impact on mood, citing studies that have found many people with depression to be deficient in vitamins, minerals, omega-3 fatty acids and other nutrients found in whole foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. Specific mood-boosting foods he recommends include cashews, citrus fruits, dark leafy greens, fatty fish and foods containing zinc, magnesium and B vitamins. His message is that making healthy dietary choices focused on nutrient-dense, whole foods can help improve mood and mental wellbeing.

SEND IN THE SHRINKS - 2009 Oliver CME seminarLouis Cady, MD
This one was fun.
I was invited by Dr. Randalll Oliver, MD, Founder of the Oliver Heachache and Pain Clinic in Evansville, to present to an audience of primary care practitioners about how to use pysychiatric mediations ("psychopharmacology") in clinical practice.
Along the way, I covered, ADHD and treatments, depression, anxiety, erectile dysfunction, hypoadrenia, and even touched on hypothyroidism. Although this presentation was in 2009, all of the drugs covered are stills in use, and, at times.... stupidly.
This presentation deconstructs the intricacies of selecting and antidepressant, particularly in the SSRI class.
What is the nature of QUALITY in medicine -for ASQ 11 14 2023.pptLouis Cady, MD
In this presentation, Dr. Cady deconstructs the tensions and stressors on both patients and health care providers in today's system.
This presentation reviews checklists foe liminating mistakes, the actual number of mistakes that are being made in medical practice, and what patients and their loved ones can do for self protection.
This isn't a "bash the doctor" presentation. It's a thoughtful, careful exploration of stresses and ramifications to the current US healthcare system.
This document provides information about a presentation given by Dr. Louis B. Cady on transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) as a treatment for depression. It begins with Dr. Cady's credentials and commercial disclosure stating he has received honoraria from several companies but that this presentation is not being underwritten by any company. The presentation then covers how TMS works, its safety and effectiveness compared to antidepressant medications and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), and its inclusion in treatment guidelines for depression.
Hormones and Mental Health - Thyroid and Testosterone.pptxLouis Cady, MD
In this presentation for the Psychiatry Redefined program, Dr.
Cady breaks down and deconstructs the accepted, unthinking, "practice guideline based" notions of thyroid and tesotsterone, with there seemingly "normal" levels and dosing, versus what the actual peer reviewed medical literature says. In this presentation, do use of all forms of thyroid, and all forms of testosterone are reviewed. The idiocy of "T4 only treatment" is covered. The use of T4, T3, a combination of T4 and T3, and all of the porcine and compounded products is review.
In terms of testosterone, dr. Katie reviews the concept of "do you want to be optimal or do you want to be normal." He notes that it is "normal" for oil in cars to deteriorate and break down with age. It's also "normal" for men's and women's testosterone (as well as thyroid) to go down with age. The question is, "do we want to do anything about it?"
Logical ways of intervening in both the thyroid and female and male gonadal axes are covered. There is scrupulous attention paid to the thyroid hormone pathways, and the relevance of reverse T3 versus free T3. Similarly, in terms of women, the downstream effect of estradiol coming from testosterone is also reviewed.
The Moral Imperative of Integrative Medicine 2022.pptLouis Cady, MD
The document discusses the case of a 16-year-old teenager with a long history of treatment-resistant depression and anxiety. Previous medication trials with SSRIs, SNRIs, atypical antipsychotics, and lamotrigine had failed to provide sustained relief. Upon further evaluation, the doctor found potential contributing factors including an undiagnosed MTHFR gene mutation and hormonal imbalances. The doctor adjusted the teenager's supplements and medications, focusing on addressing the underlying functional issues. At follow-up several months later, the teenager reported significantly improved mood with only brief periods of low mood, though menstrual irregularities persisted.
CORONOFOBIA - Passos práticos para equilibrar as defesas do corpo e da menteLouis Cady, MD
Esta palestra, apresentada em 29 de maio de 2021 para o Congresso de Medicina Integrativa para a Saúde Mental 2020, promovido pelo Laboratório Great Plains no Brasil, enfocou coisas simples e de bom senso que os pacientes (e seus médicos) podem fazer para se manter seguros e viver durante o Pandemia do covid.
Os seguintes conceitos holísticos foram revisados:
- sono adequado e por que é tão importante;
- o uso de melatonina, cientificamente validada como tendo atividade antiviral (referências citadas);
- a importância de diminuir o estresse e técnicas para fazê-lo;
- a necessidade de "comer frutas e vegetais" como sua mãe e sua avó ensinaram devido à ingestão de carotenóides e antioxidantes ((referências citadas);
- o uso adequado de suplementos vitamínicos / nutricionais (referências citadas).
O foco desta apresentação não foram medidas heróicas para salvar vidas na unidade de terapia intensiva para pacientes gravemente enfermos com COVID, mas, sim, técnicas de bom senso, práticas, baratas e (em alguns casos) GRATUITAS para melhorar você e seus pacientes 'saúde e resistência às doenças.
THE MORAL IMPERATIVE OF INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE - O IMPERATIVO MORAL DA MEDICINA...Louis Cady, MD
Neste programa, o Dr. Cady baseia-se em uma série de casos clínicos para ilustrar a necessidade absoluta e moral do tratamento de precisão de nossos pacientes com todas as ferramentas disponíveis para uso por meio da medicina integrativa.
O uso de testes de polimorfismo MTHFR, testes convencionais e laboratoriais e testes farmacogenômicos foram revisados.
Os casos apresentados ilustram a trágica dificuldade de um menino com deficiência de MTHFR que estava prestes a desviar sua vida; um paciente esquizofrênico com vários problemas de medicina funcional que precisavam ser resolvidos (levedura, glúten, sensibilidade alimentar de IgG); uma estudante universitária a quem foi dito "não há nada de errado com você; seus laboratórios estão bem", embora ela tenha manifestado todos os sintomas relevantes de hipotireoidismo; e um CEO do sexo masculino de 42 anos que estava "tão cansado que parecia morrer" e que, na verdade, estava funcionalmente com pouco testosterona. O último caso revisado foi de um adorável garotinho que tinha autismo e foi recuperado por meio de uma abordagem focada e intensa de medicina integrativa.
Dr. Cady deconstructs some the medical literature about the use of nutrients - and the evidence of what happens in the presence of their insufficiency. Everything for decreased viral replication to decrease brain shrinkage is covered. The role of antioxidant and carotenoids, measured by the Pharmanex Biophotonic Scanner, is reviewed.
Please note - there is no representation that any nutrient or supplement can treat, prevent, mitigate, or cure any medical condition. It does seem, however, upon reflecting on the medical literature, that there seems to be a lot of evidence for therapeutic effect in the presence of good levels of nutrient, and harm to patients if they have insufficient levels.
Subtitle: The Moral Imperative of Integrative Medicine
This presentation, two hours in length, was delivered to the A4m MMI Audience in their Frontiers of Neurology - Module 3.
The following topics are reviewed:
- ADHD, Autism, Depression, Schizophrenia
- the impact of neuroinflammation on all of these.
- confounding factors and the ways to mitigate them: Omega6/Omega 3 imbalance in the Western diet, MTHFR polymorphism, the use of elemental lithium, the presence of intestinal dysbiosis and the role of gluten/dairy IgG Food allergies.
- pharmacogenomic testing
The Moral Imperative of Integrative Medicine - IMMH 2020Louis Cady, MD
IN this presentation, Dr. Cady reviews several of the handful of functional, integrative medicine techniques required for a holistic and comprehensive management of psychiatric issues. MTHFR, hormone balance, diagnosis and treating intestinal dysbiosis, need for trace elements, and hormones (including thyroid, testosterone and estradiol) are reviewed.
This brief webinar, a gift to the local Jewish community and Temple Adath B'Nai Israel here in Evansville, IN, reviews the tradition of mindfulness and the interdigitation of Buddhist practices with some Jewish traditions. Dr. Cady reviews the downstream effects of stress, how meditation and mindfulness are useful tools and techniques, and actually how to practice it. Multiple references without being complicated or overdone are provided.
Webinar 5: Designing Your Future: WHAT'S COMING NEXT?Louis Cady, MD
In this capstone webinar presentation, closing out Dr. Cady's series on dealing with COVID 19, he turns his attention to a nunmber of interesting thems:
- what's the REAL case fatality rate of COVID 19
- How is it likely that society will reopen?
- What's going to happen in education and medicine?
- What's going to happen when the robots and AI arrive?
- What's the future going to be out 500 years?
The Do It To Yourself Treatment of Depression - Webinar #3Louis Cady, MD
This is the third in a series of five webinars. The first was on staying alive by boosting your immunity during COVID 19. The second was on not screwing yourself up inside your head. This third one encompasses a romp through the peer reviewed medical literature looking for supplements and nutrients that you could use to self treat depression at home, CAREFULLY. Numerous cautions and warnings are included.
The driving impetus to this program is that many people - due to social isolation and their mental health care, or medical practitioners' offices being closed down - have not been able to get help or succeed in optimizing their treatment for depression. There are multiple useful nutrients for both depression and anxiety in nature's abundant pharmacopeia, and this webinar touches on just a few of them.
I hope you enjoy it.

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s PerspectiveGolden Helix
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.

56. T vs Mood in men
• Study: 278 men, >45yo, followed 2 years
• Compared to eugonadal patients,
hypogonadal men w/TT <200ng/dL had
– 4-fold increase risk of depression
– Significantly shorter time to depression
diagnosis
• Depression risk inversely related to TT
w/statistical significance <280ng/dL

57. The Case of the Mismanaged
Executive - summary
• 42 year old male ADHD CEO. Background in
psychology. Now EXTREMELY stressed.
• “So tired I feel like I’m dying.” “Depressed.”
• Lab findings – low testosterone, despite multiple
pumps of Androgel per day managed by
endocrinologist (!). Low thyroid. Low DHEA.
• RX: Testosterone cypionate IM – 60 mg twice
weekly. DHEA – 50 mg SR. Armour thyroid – ½
grain.
• Clinical status: total resolution of symptoms in 3- 4
weeks. No antidepressant used.
59. Testosterone and “Prostate Cancer risk”
• Prostate CA found 2.15 & 2.26 times more
likely in lowest compared to highest tertile
of total and free testosterone
• “. . . there are several papers showing a
relationship between LOW testosterone
and prostate cancer. Specifically, low
testosterone has been associated with
high-grade tumors, advanced stage of
presentation, and worse prognosis.”

HCG – human chorionic gonadotropin -1250 – 2500 x/wk
(tiny needle; “off-label”, doesn’t work in much older men)
Testosterone cypionate – 200mg/cc – dosing determined by
size – administered IM – one to two X per week– (bigger
needle; on-label per FDA, works in everyone, shrinks
testicles).

Monochromatic photons interact with molecules that have
vibrational energy (e.g., carotenoids), and gets scattered at
a higher wavelength. Sir C. V. Raman, Nobel Prize in
Physics, 1930
Carotenoid molecules shift blue laser light color to green:
473 nm to 510 nm

81. Does it work?
• Original registration trial
– 307 major depressed patients
• 67% women
• 93% recurrent depressives
• 43% had been hospitalized already
– 42 sites
– Treatment per label
• Results: ½ patients responded; 1/3 of
patients remitted.
• 80% patients completed the treatment.
82. Who Was Studied?
• Primary diagnosis: DSM-IV Major Depressive
Disorder
– Unipolar type, non-psychotic
– Moderate to severe symptoms at baseline
– Approximately one-third of patients had a co-morbid anxiety
disorder (OCD excluded)
• Antidepressant Treatment History:
– Average number of antidepressant medication trials in current
episode = 4 (range: 1 to 23 attempts)
• Majority of treatment attempts were unable to achieve adequate
dose and duration of treatment due to intolerance
– In the indicated patient population, all patients failed to
achieve satisfactory benefit from one antidepressant
medication at an adequate dose and duration in current
episode

Editor's Notes
These symptoms correlate to decrease in bioavailable testosterone
RIA (in-house after diethylether extraction) Total testosterone - T (RIA) 208-1141ng/dL, average 536+/-153ng/dL Bioavailable testosterone - BT (calculated) 78-470ng/dL, average 236+/-63ng/dL
Hypogonadal if TT < 200ng/dL or FT < 0.9ng/dL
He discovered that if you shine a particular wave length of light on a substance it may give off another wave length of light. It will absorb one and give off another wave length of light. Today this is called the Raman Effect, or the substance that does this is “Raman Active.” And he discovered that based on the intensity of that light that is fed back into the spectrometer, we can quantify the exact amount of molecules in that substance. So what does that do for us, but to allow the measurement of the exact number of carotenoid molecules in someone’s tissue. The specific wavelength of light that we are looking for is a green wavelength of light. You’ve all see the blue light that comes out of the scanner. But did you know we are looking for a green light that is fed back into the scanner off of your palm. And based on the brightness of that light we can tell how many carotenoid molecules are in your tissue.
In the following section of my talk, I ’d like to discuss TMS in more detail. I will review its mechanism of action, and then discuss some of the most recent randomized clinical trial evidence supporting its efficacy and safety. I will also discuss recent outcomes in real-world practice settings obtained from an ongoing large, prospective outcomes study.
Capacitors of the day did not permit high intensity or rapid frequency use. The “ phosphenes ” were either generate from effects on the occipital cortex or directly on the retina of the eye. 1959 – Kolin et al – first to demonstrate magnetic field could stimulation a peripheral frog muscle preparation.
The underlying rationale for the use of TMS exploits the fact that neurons are electrochemical cells. This means that neuronal activity can be affected either chemically, via the use of drugs, or electrically, via interventions like TMS. Unlike drug action, whose effects tend to be anatomically diffuse, the effects of TMS are anatomically focused, and by design are non-invasive and non-systemic in action. Under normal conditions of use, TMS therefore incurs far fewer adverse events, and is devoid of undesired systemic adverse events commonly observed with antidepressant medications. The TMS device is a powerful electromagnet, which is turned on and off in a rapid fashion, producing a pattern of “pulsed” magnetic fields. When pulsed magnetic fields are positioned close to an electrical conductor, like neurons, a local electrical current is produced in that conductor. This electric current is powerful enough right under the magnetic coil to elicit action potentials, which then travel down the neuron, ultimately causing the release of neurotransmitters at the synapse (Post 2001, p. 193A) .

This slide describes some of the major demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients studied in the registration clinical trials that led to FDA clearance for the NeuroStar TMS Therapy system. All patients had a diagnosis of unipolar, non-psychotic major depression, with moderate to severe symptoms at entry to the study. About a third of all patients had a concurrent secondary diagnosis of an anxiety disorder. All patients received a rigorous characterization of their antidepressant medication treatment history in the current illness episode. Most patients had received numerous medication treatment attempts, with one of these treatment attempts being administered at an adequate daily dose and for at least four weeks without clinical benefit. The average number of overall treatment attempts (which includes all antidepressant medications administered in the current episode, regardless of whether they reached an adequate dose and duration) was 4, with a range across the study population from 1 to as many as 23 treatment attempts. Consistent with the data that I reviewed earlier in this presentation, about 75% of the time, these antidepressant treatment attempts were unable to achieve this minimum level of exposure adequacy (usually because of treatment intolerance, or failure to adhere to the recommended treatment regimen).
