Book Reviews of 5-HTP: The Natural Way to Overcome Depression, Obesity, and Insomnia
Book Review: Natural Cure for Migraine Headaches
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had this book on my shelf for a while occasionally scanning it for information about headaches. For some reason I picked it up the other day and my life has been changed. I use to take a ton of meds for migraines and not to mention the cost of my rescue meds. I checked with my neurologist before taking the 5 HTP. He thought it was good to try it. I have been headache free for over 2 weeks now. I feel great and have energy and wake up feeling rested. My suggestion is if you have headaches, of course check with your doctor, but give this a try. No side effects except feeling much better and off toxic meds. I have tried EVERYTHING. This is the only thing that gives me hope. I found his book very informative.
Summary of 5-HTP: The Natural Way to Overcome Depression, Obesity, and Insomnia
The most authoritative and comprehensive guide to realizing the amazing health benefits of 5-HTPWritten by one of America's leading naturopathic doctors, 5-HTP explains how this natural amino acid can safely and effectively regulate low serotonin levels, which have been linked to depression, obesity, insomnia, migraines, and anxiety.
5-HTP is also a powerful antioxidant that can protect the body from free-radical damage, reducing the risk of serious illnesses such as cancer. 5-HTP has already helped thousands, and Dr. Murray, citing extensive scientific studies and case histories, shows how this groundbreaking supplement can help you.
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
