Two naturopaths introduce us to the world of brain biochemistry,
translating the science into laymen's terms, so that the reader can
understand the potential power of herbs and nutrients to enhance
health, prevent disorders, and affect existing health disorders.
These alternatives, or supplements, to medication are being used
across the country to help treat health conditions with a
psychological component--from ADHD and anorexia to insomnia,
menopause, and Parkinson's Disease. Authors Meletis and Barker
explain 18 of these conditions, and review the most current
research into how--or whether--the use of herbs and supplements has
been proven to prevent, affect or remove these health conditions,
or at least some of their symptoms. Can the Chinese herb Salvia
curb cravings in alcoholics? Can niacin help treat anxiety? Other
herbs, nutrients, and conditions addressed include the use of zinc
to reduce symptoms of anorexia and bulimia, ginkgo biloba for
Alzheimer's, and 5-HTP for depression. One appendix to this volume
lists the top 20 brain-enhancing herbs and supplements. Another
lists nutrient deficiencies and their links to health and brain
function. It is not the intent of this book to advocate for the
replacement of standard drug therapy, but for the integration of
these "natural medicines" with traditional medical treatments.
Consumers are urged to discuss these herbs and nutrients with their
physician before beginning use, as some allergic reactions or
interactions with traditional medicines can occur. The central
argument of this book is that when properly nourished people can
operate at maximum physical and mental capacity, with maximum
ability to fend off or recover from diseaseand disorder.
