Organizational Mission:
The mission of the Biochemical Research Foundation
(BRF) is to perform original research into the
neurochemical basis of mood disorders in women and
children. The BRF’s current goal is to emphasize the
safety and scientific basis of working with human
identical molecules to treat mood and emotional issues.
We investigate the underlying biochemical basis of
depression and anxiety and treat these disorders by
providing the neurochemical building blocks, rather
than just pharmaceuticals, to help these individuals.
Chronic anxiety and depression often appear to have a
genetic and biological basis related to deficiencies in
certain basic neurotransmitters. Thus, individuals may
not need drugs, but rather nutrient biochemicals and,
perhaps, hormones to provide the basis for missing
neurotransmitters, and can learn to work on their
emotional issues in a more authentic manner by first
correcting these problems in the safest way possible.
We work with teenagers to help them develop into
rational, morally consistent thinkers. People of any age
need to have functional brain chemistry to make good
choices and discernments. The BRF does not believe
this is possible when a large number of today’s school
children are being treated with powerful stimulants.
Everything done through the BRF is safe, non-toxic and
can be biochemically validated and quantified.
Real Science takes time and results must be able to be
replicated. It is not glamorous or slick, and research
results may be counter-intuitive. One of the goals of
the Biochemical Research Foundation is to proceed
from the premises of logic and reason and to
undermine some of the “magical thinking” that often
permeates the integrative medicine world. There is a
great deal of emphasis on “taking things”. Our
paradigm involves the mind/body connection of each
select individual, and we look to interpret hard science
data and use original research in our interpretations.
We are comprised of scientists and a board, which
oversees our activities. I am Phyllis Bronson, Ph.D., and
the primary researcher. I have a doctorate in
neurobiochemistry and an extensive scientific
background in biochemistry. I run a clinical practice in
Aspen, Colorado, and am a research associate at The
University of Denver, Department of Chemistry and
Biochemistry. I conduct my chemical research in the
physical chemistry laboratory of Dwight Smith, Ph.D.,
who also serves as a scientific advisor in much of my
research. I am also on the faculty of both The American
Academy of Environmental Medicine and The
International Society of Orthomolecular Medicine. These
institutions study nutrient effects on brain chemistry
and mood disorders. I have completed a four year study
of the biochemical basis of women’s mood and
emotional issues at mid-life and beyond. I have now
begun a long-term study into the biochemistry
underlying depression and anxiety in adolescents. The
goal is to provide scientifically sound and clinically
tested biochemical alternatives to pharmaceuticals, as
well as their safe integration with drugs when needed.
This specifically infers the use of bio-identical nutrients
such as amino acids and hormones.
