Emotional Abuse and Brain Structural Damage
Emotional abuse results in damage to the hippocampus, a brain area involved in learning and memory ability. This damage results in associated memory deficits, according to studies from Yale University School of Medicine, Yale Psychiatric Institute and the Department of Biological Sciences at Stanford University. Intense stress from emotional abuse floods the brain with hormones such as cortisol, adrenaline, noradrenaline, and opiates, which results in eventual shrinkage of the hippocampus, according to Pierce J. Howard, PhD in his book, The Owner's Manual for the Brain.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Michael Locklear
In 1986, Michael cofounded The Global Peace Project in conjunction with Lois Roeder, Sc.D., a highly respected nutritionist from the University of Maryland and a graduate of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. He was elected President of the organization and charged with the task of developing a new system of farming that would allow people living in Third World and developing nations to alleviate poverty and improve their health.
Three years into their research, in 1989, the United Nations reported that the world had lost nearly eighty percent of its topsoil. This meant that the minerals and other nutrients in soil had been leeched out and represented the single greatest threat to humanity. Topsoil loss could only result in widespread malnutrition.
The Global Peace Project redirected its focus to soil reconstruction as a foundation for its agricultural research. However, as the years passed, Michael and his team began to realize that the way we think was the real cause behind war, poverty, ignorance, human rights abuses, and environmental destruction. It became clear that they had to address human consciousness as a baseline if they were to have any success in establishing a foundation for global peace, which means the absence of distress in any form.
The Global Peace Project continued its research under this new, broader mandate until 2006, when they completed the development of their advanced farming system. In the end, they created a system that could produce ten times as much food on one acre as modern farmers and the food would be the most nutritious food humans anywhere had seen in nearly ten thousand years. They achieved this miraculous feat by replacing minerals and microorganisms that had been missing in soil since shortly after the advance of farming many thousands of years ago.
The Total Health philosophy has come about as a result of all of the informatio Michael uncovered on the way to creating this new farming system.
