Posters:
Important Neurotransmitters:
Acetylcholine most important neurotransmitter in the body and is the
primary transmitter between neurons and muscles.

Dopamine affects muscles, growth, tissue repair, and the immune system:
stimulates the pituitary gland.

Norepinephrine helps control release of endocrine hormones and stored

fat: helps control sleep/wake patterns and the immune system.

Serotonin high concentration found in blood platelets, gastrointenestinal

tract, certain regions of the brain: it plays an important role in blood clotting
and a strong heart beat: it initiates sleep or relaxing.

Amino Acids:
Proline aids in wound healing, increased learning.

Pyroglutamate found in large amounts in the brain, cerebrospinal fluid and

the blood. It is known to have many cognitive enhancing effects.

Tyrosine a precursor of dopamine and norepinephrine.

Taurine helps protect the eyes from free radical damage: regulates the
hearts electrical conduction system: acts as a regulatory/inhibitory
neurotransmitter.

Threonine helps maintain hydrogen balance, enhances protein utilization

and prevents fatty tissue buildup in the liver.

Tryptophan used in the synthesis of serotonin: a neurotransmitter:

stimulates the release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland: helps
relieve pain: produces a relaxed state when combined with high
carbohydrates.

Serine helps alleviate pain, natural antipsychotic: produces cellular energy.

Valine - helps maintain hydrogen balance.

Glutamic Acid a brain stimulant: an excitatory neurotransmitter in the
central nervous system.

Glycine produces glycogen, mobilizes glucose from the liver: bolsters the
immune system and is a stimulant for the brain.

Histidine converts histamine causing inflammation of the skin, eyes, nose,

and throat.

Isoleucine needed in hemoglobin formation.

Leucine an anabolic (plays a role in growth/muscle building).

Lysine reduces healing time, builds tissues, promotes growth and

production of antibodies, hormones, and enzymes.

Methionine contains sulfur and is considered an antioxidant.

Ornithine increases potency of arginine, muscle building.

Phenylanaline the precursor for norepinephrine, dopamine, and

epinephrine neurotransmitters.

Alanine regulates sugar metabolism, enhances immune system.

Arginine stimulates the release of insulin and human growth hormone as

well as helps dispose of accumulations of ammonia.

Aspartic Acid expels ammonia from the body, enhances the immune
system and increases stamina.

Carnitine transports long chain fatty acids to the mitochondria of the cells
where they are oxidized to yield energy, particularly the heart and kidneys.

Citruline stimulates the immune system: metabolizes arginine, detoxifies

ammonia.

Cysteine a building block of all proteins which contains sulfur and is

considered an antioxidant.
L-Dopa precursor to the neurotransmitter dopamine.

GABA gamma aminobutyric acid. An inhibitor neurotransmitter.

Glutamine brain stimulant.

Endomorphines cause laughter and relaxation. Induce spontaneous

remission.

Icons:
Make an icon list of categories that these and the following
neurotransmitters and amino acids affect, so you can DHE a machine to fire
them off when you need them.
Thinness: human figure
Intelligence: brain
Sleep: Zzzz
Strength: arm curling a weight
Motivation: panther
Discrimination: eagle

Sample Icons:
Panther hand holding money bag fireworks magnet
Fish eagle bathroom scale oscilliscope
Goblet squares within squares helicopter microscope

Division sign within square trumpet telescope
Barbeque film projector
Lion binoculars watch finger with string on it
Eagle ear crystal ball compass
Calculator cogs in a wheel ENERGY in a square
Coffee maker clamp turntable radar dish

Paradoxical Cushioning:
Cylinder with energy rotating at each end: north end is positive and south
end is negative.
This is similar to a double bind. Give the client move away from and
moving towards motivation to move them toward their goal.
