Overcome Depression Naturally: Biological Cause
http://www.encognitive.com5-HT... is a naturally derived amino acid that has been shown in comprehensive studies to be safer than prescription drugs for the treatment of insomnia and depression, and can also be used for treating obesity, migraine headaches, fibromyalgia, and premenstrual syndrome. It may prove to be more popular than St. John's wort for the treatment of depression and other serotonin-related conditions, as it's been shown to produce results in as little as two weeks, while the herb may take a month or longer.Author Michael Murray, N.D., a leading naturopath and coauthor of The Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, delves very deeply to explain the hows and whys of depression at the neurotransmitter level, and the illustrations of presynaptic membranes may be a bit much for the lay reader. There are also several sections with intimidating titles along the lines of "Enhancing 5-HTP with Catecholamine Precursors." But the book's comprehensiveness makes up for its occasional denseness. Murray includes enlightening sections on nutrition for peak serotonin synthesis, other complementary herbal supplements, and many online and physical sources for obtaining 5-HTP. --Erica Jorgensen --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.From Library JournalMurray (Encyclopedia of Nutritional Supplements, Prima, 1996) believes that the symptoms of depression, obesity, headaches, insomnia, anxiety, hyperactivity, premenstrual syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome, and fibromyalgia can be alleviated by taking the amino acid 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan). The body converts 5-HTP into serotonin, a neurotransmitter vital for brain function, and Murray argues that increased serotonin levels mitigate much of the discomfort associated with the conditions cited above. He devotes major chapters to depression, weight loss, insomnia, and headache, with each following the same format: exploration of the condition and orthodox treatment, review of studies using 5-HTP, and recommendations for therapeutic doses. Personal stories illustrate how patients have benefited from 5-HTP. It is apparent from warnings given throughout the book, however, that use of this natural supplement is not without danger, especially if taken with certain prescription medicines. Buy for alternative health collections only if demand warrants.AJodith Janes, Cleveland Clinic Fdn., OH http://www.encognitive.com

It helps with the biological cause of it but there are other causes, such as social (are you around toxic people?), environmental, mental (thought processes), emotions, and others. L-tryptophan helps alleviate one factor of social anxiety.

Is L-tryptophan works with social anxiety as well?

Depression caused by lack of spirituality??... please. But the rest of this vid is very interesting and confirms what I suspected for a long time, especially regards to mental health.

I think that milk (listed in the video) has many ill-effects on a large number of people. Millions of people are allergic to milk. North Americans consume the most milk, which is supposed to strengthen bones but North Americans have the highest rate of osteoporosis (weakening of bones).I like turkey and poultry myself, without the skin. As for serving size, it would depend on a person's weight? There's an average recommended serving size for most foods but I don't know what they are. :-( |
