No-one's saying anything about mind-body dualism - except you.

Distinguishing the mind from the brain is what mind body dualism is all about.

But it is nevertheless the case that no amount of talking is going to fix someone's pre-synaptic uptake processes.

I have no reason to believe that's true. Talking can trigger hormonal release and those hormons can change pre-synaptic uptake processes.
