At the risk of over-emphasizing one hidden physical risk factor for emotional dysfunction, gluten sensitivity is a recent (c. 2005) addition to our knowledge base and many will not have information about it in sufficient detail as yet. Conservative observers like Dr. Alessio Fasano  say it affects 6-8% of the population; liberal observers like Dr. Ken Fine suggest that it can be seen in up to 1/3 of the population. Seen or unseen, it is always associated with malabsorption of amino acids essential for neurotransmitter production, leading to longstanding symptom-producing deficits leading to anxiety, depression, Brain fog and memory problems.

AcuDestress is a life-altering energy-shifting training session, by which, following one month of treatment, non-meditators fast track to mindfulness, then learn neuroplasticity, all initiated/sustained/modulated by AcuDetox ear acupuncture. Many recipients report that they become able, subsequently, to manage stress without psychotherapy and some are able to come off psychoactive medication.
