Overcome Depression Naturally: Biological Cause
http://www.encognitive.com
5-HTP 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 Journal
Murray (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 ociated 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

Yeah it’s worth it. …
Yeah it’s worth it. It shouldn’t be to harmful even if it doesn’t work. In fact it is good for your body:) I’m not to sure serotonin is the ONLY reason people get depressed tho. Try to smile throughout the day, and laugh- even if it is forced, your brain will secrete beneficial products such as endorphins. Good luck!

They do make omega-3 supplements, which (in theory) should be a suitable replacement. Though to be honest I have found vitamin-C to combat the blues effectively.

I struggle with depression a lot but I don’t for one minute think that antidepressants are a good thing.
I do eat lots of chicken and eggs, but I don’t know that that really has helped much.
Perhaps I should try some 5-HTP suppliments?

Read Explaining colours to a blind man. Not only will it enlighten many as to what living with a mental illness is like, it also gives comfort to those sufferers who think there is no hope and that they are alone. It is very informative, sometimes shocking but also very funny in parts. All in all, a good read and highly recommended.

There’s nothing “New” about meditation. It’s been around for over 5,000 years, longer than prescription drugs. There’s nothing “New” about Nutrition and it’s relationship to health. Without food, you die. What’s “New” about that?
Uneducated retard?
