Everything I needed to know about 5-HTP.
The most honest report on 5-HTP that I have
every read. The author relates his personal and professional experiences
in addition to explaining the research in a simple manner. I loved the
practical step by step guidelines outlined to treat obesity and depression,
which is what I have. I found the caution and side effect chapter to be
very honest.

Scientific, cautious, extremely informative
-a joy to read.
I was extremely impressed by the effort
it must have taken Dr. Sahelian to take the complicated science of 5-HTP
and Serotonin and explain it in a simple, well-referenced way. I feel I
now know exactly how it works. He gives step by step guidelines on how
to use low doses of 5-HTP with other nutrients and herbs for depression,
insomnia, anxiety, and weight loss. Just like his DHEA book, I appreciated
the full and honest discussion on cautions and side effects.

People DO have various problems with life.
Instead of naming and redefining these problems as various "mental diseases",
and labeling people with them, as is currently done within the psychiatric
community, these problems with life and living are best understood and
addressed outside of the traditional psychiatric paradigm. Why?
Because psychiatric "treatments" such as ECT, lobotomy, and powerful psychotropic
drugs are barbaric, based upon severe faulty scientific methodology, and
quite simply, harm people.
