Thanks for posting about the Julia Ross book. I have The Diet Cure by
her which goes into a lot of detail about the brain but wasn't aware
she had another book. I will buy it. The first was was excellent. I
am forever telling people about amino acids. We use a formula that
contains all the essentials. Severe cases may need a bit more though
of one of the specific amino acids although doubling or tripling the
amount for a period of time will achieve the same results. One lady I
know got rid of a lifetime of depression with it. She didn't even
know she was depressed! Her whole family was in a low grade
depression and that's how she grew up. She started feeling happy
after using amino acids. Probably she just started out trying to fix
her bowels.
Another way you can raise serotonin levels is by using EFT. Watch the
video and read the manual on www.emofree.com.
