The Missing Piece: Strategies to Incorporate Mental Health Formulations Using the Power of Three
Todd Rowe MD, MD(H), CCH, DHt
DesBio’s Power of Three philosophy interweaves the physical, emotional, and mental aspects of well-being with an energetic focus, applying the disciplines of science, art, and philosophy to offer multifaceted support.
The Law of Unity is the guiding principle in the Power of Three approach. This law asserts that all life is a unified whole, and our well-being cannot be compartmentalized into isolated parts. It’s a holistic perspective that is central to our understanding of symptom support. The Law of Unity professes the unity of life, urging a holistic view that considers the entire organism rather than isolated parts. It posits that true balance can only be achieved when the whole is addressed, for treating just one part can lead to suppression or the emergence of new issues, a concept illustrated in the teachings of Dr. James Tyler Kent. The Law of Unity delves into the roots of the word “heal” itself, derived from “haelen,” meaning to make whole. As Dr. Joan Borysenko suggests, healing is about rediscovering our inherent wholeness, lying beneath the layers that life has draped over us.
The Power of Three is a comprehensive framework that categorizes health into three distinct but interconnected planes: the Energetic Plane, the Mental and Emotional Planes, and the Physical Plane. It employs three types of modalities—Homeopathic Medicines, Nutritionals/Supplements, and Herbs—each corresponding to one of these planes. Additionally, this approach is underpinned by three fundamental disciplines: Science, Art, and Philosophy, ensuring a well-rounded and deeply considered approach to symptom support.
The mental and emotional component of The Power of Three often remains a missing piece in many health strategies. DesBio’s formulations for mental health—recognized for being gentle and effective—aim to provide support for a vast array of mental health issues affecting both adults and children. By incorporating these formulations, DesBio acknowledges the profound impact mental well-being has on the holistic health of an individual.
The Physical Terrain: Herbs and nutritionals target the physical level, addressing micronutrient absorption and providing botanicals that serve as both workers and tools. These highly potent herbal ingredients are chosen to confer specific biological benefits. Nutritionals, meanwhile, provide essential raw materials, with optimal wellness hinging on the quality of these building blocks. The goal here is to restore autonomy on the physical plane, where a hierarchy of symptoms—from brain to skin ailments—can be supported.
The Energetic Terrain: Homeopathic medicines communicate with the body’s energetic level, offering support that reaches deeply into the organism, including the DNA, and working directly with the Vital Force. These remedies aim to assist detox and, striving to effect deep towards optimal body function. The Law of Energetics comes into play here, emphasizing that life is energy, and that effective support occurs through the resonance between the remedy’s energy and the energetic state of the organism.
The Mental and Emotional Terrain: On the mental and emotional planes, homeopathic medicines, herbs, and supplements aim to address etiology and support obstacles, recognizing that mental and emotional factors can perpetuate symptoms. The goal is to restore freedom on these levels, with a hierarchy of mental symptoms ranging from complete confusion to absent-mindedness, and emotional symptoms from rage to dissatisfaction.
Addressing the Physical, Emotional/Mental and Energetic Terrain Support with DesBio formulations:
Physical Terrain Support:
- Intestinal Restore: This product is designed to offer multifaceted support for digestive health and intestinal integrity. Featuring ingredients like Tegricel® and L-Glutamine, it supports the gastrointestinal immune system and the regeneration of intestinal cells. Mucilaginous herbs and digestive enzymes are also included to soothe tissues and encourage nutrient absorption.
- Bio Pro GI: This formulation provides a selection of probiotic strains, chosen for their ability to maintain a balanced gut microbiome and support digestive health.
Emotional/Mental Terrain Support:
- The Rage formulation is crafted to provide temporary relief for symptoms associated with emotional distress, such as feelings of anger and impulsivity. This approach recognizes the potential psychosomatic nature of digestive issues, considering the influence of the enteric nervous system and the impact of stress on digestive processes. The enteric nervous system (ENS) can influence stomach acid production. When the body is in “fight or flight” mode, digestive processes, including the secretion of stomach acid, can be reduced. This is because the focus shifts away from digestion to prioritize immediate survival needs. Over time, chronic stress and the associated reduction in stomach acid production may contribute to digestive problems such as ingestion and acid reflux.
- Indigestion, along with various other physical symptoms, can sometimes be psychosomatic, meaning they have a psychological or emotional origin. In cases of unresolved trauma or rage, these emotions may contribute to or exacerbate ingestion and other gastrointestinal issues.
- Rage helps to address the emotional component of what is often thought of and addressed as a purely physical complaint.
Mental Health Detox/Drainage
- Detoxification is a critical aspect of a holistic approach. A suite of formulations is dedicated to promoting the body’s natural detoxification processes, helping to clear the way for balance. Our approach to Mental Health Detox/Drainage is exemplified by Cerebromax, which is formulated to support detoxification processes, aligning with the energetic principles of homeopathy.
Energetic Terrain Support:
- Leaky Gut Formula For the temporary relief of symptoms related to leaky gut such as fatigue, seasonal allergies, joint pain, occasional constipation, mental fogginess, and occasional diarrhea.
DesBio’s Power of Three approach encapsulates a holistic strategy that nurtures the intricate relationship between the physical, emotional/mental, and energetic aspects of health. This comprehensive approach, grounded in the diverse spectrum of homeopathic medicines, nutritional supplements, and herbal formulations, adheres to the principles of science, art, and philosophy. It emphasizes the importance of addressing the often-overlooked emotional and mental components, which are crucial for achieving overall balance and wellness. DesBio’s commitment to this philosophy ensures a broad range of supportive products, each contributing to the totality of care that recognizes and values the mental and emotional terrains as essential pieces of the health puzzle.
