Dr. Porter recognizes the significant stress on individuals and families when dealing with chronic neurological disorders including depression, anxiety, parkinson's, dementia, alzheimers, multiple sclerosis, and many others. He specializes in the treatment of many neurological conditions with the use of concentrated amino acids. This therapy can effectively treat and even replace many of the current anti-depressants which often are, or become ineffective. Additional benefits have been realized with yeast-free diets, avoidance of neurotoxins, chelation of heavy metals and chemicals, and improvement in anti-oxidant pathways. Amino acid therapy which increases levels of Serotonin, Dopamine, Nor-epinephrine, and Epinephrine will prove to be one of the most effective methods of treating long term neurological defecits.
