Foodaddiction is the toughest

addiction to treat !

Why?

Public will not take it seriously

Most people (researchers to ) think it is a

milder form of addiction ! It is not..

It is the most primitive instinct of all. If you

do not eat you die.

You have to challenge it several times a day

”Drugfoods” are everywhere (industri)


A psykosocial modell

It looks at why and that is interesting

when working with harmful use and

prevention, but not addiction because it is

acquired and primary.

Carlton Erickson Prof. Ph.D Texas University


Addictive Foods?

”Some foods act as addictive substances on the

brain,

a hard concept for experts in the nutrition/obesity

field” 2007

Psycho-Somatic (”pain” in the mind/psyche expressed as pain in the

body) it is simultaneously and equally important to

understand

Somato-Psychic ( if the body is out of balance, you can be sad,

aggressive, depressed, etc.)

Definition IFM

Functional medicine is an evolution from the usual conventional medicine, based on scientific principles and methods that can better meet the needs of modern health and wellness today. Unlike traditional medical care that focuses on disease, sees a function medics to the whole person, which involves the interaction between the person's history, physical and social environment, genetics, nutritional status, diet, lifestyle, mental, emotional-, and spiritual health and how these can affect health in the long term.


Definition OMM

Orthomolecular medicine is a form of medicine aimed at

maintaining health through nutritional supplementation and

based on the assertion that there is an optimum nutritional

environment in the body and that many diseases reflect

deficiencies in this environment. Treatment for disease,

according to this view, calls for the "correcting of

imbalances or deficiencies based on individual

biochemistry" by use of substances natural to the body,

such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, trace elements

and fatty acids ususally in combination with traditional

medicine


We need to work together

• Consensus

• Common approach

• Cooperation

• Referring to network

• Joint ventures

• Parallell treatment

• Multidisciplinary team


Treatment plan from ADD

• First call , screening, assessment, diagnostics, treatmentplan

• Detox, i.e mealplan, safe environment, medical attention, chemical history, brain repair.

• Primary trt with relapsepreventionplan

• Aftercare with focus on risksituations and warningsign management, daily living, special plan for PAA

• Lifelong maintenance treatment (chronic illness )compare MS


Traditional healthcare system

• Need a lot of education about 12 step

programs and their advantages

• Very unexpensive

• The wounded healer ( laymen )

• Very efficient

• No rules, only suggestions and principles

• Available 24/7

• Sponsorship


12 step, one of several tools in professional setting

12 step treatment

• Expressions that confuses

• 12 step is not treatment

• Professional treatment introduces the steps in treatment

• And recommend 12 step for continued recovery

• Several studies shows increased recovery for those who go to meetings regulary

Valerie Slaymaker Ph.D Hazelden

12 step accused of brainwashing , haha thats better then chemwash.


Successful Treatment !

• 10% is the actual food (nutrition ),

supplement and physical plan

• 45% is thoughts, feelings and actions

• 50% is community, you can,t do it alone

• Satbilization takes years..


Recovery is slow

• Patience (Pre Frontala Cortex PFC )

• Endurance ( PFC)

• Risktaking (PFC)

• Boring ( PFC)

• Letting go

• Sense of Humor


Brain By Pass

• Rewiring takes time

• Neurotransmittor refill (methylation)

• Addiction Memory Circuit is strong

• Euphoric Recall acting up every time we

encounter any stressors


BRAIN REPAIR

Focus On Brain

which is literally built from

nutrients

often lacking in our diets today.

”Garbage in,

garbage ( thoughts, feelings, action) out”


Highlights

• Earlier intervention, better treatment outcome

• Family illness

• Involve the whole family, village, town

• Recovery based community network with recovery activities

• New approaches and new ways of thinking with those who do not want change.


This is a very simple program for

complicated people

Keep it simple ?
