Beat Depression With St. John's Wort
by Steven Bratman, Paula Lee

Synopsis
St. John's Wort is quickly emerging as the most effective natural treatment for depression. An easy-to-read but careful examination of St. John's Wort, this scientifically sound and responsible book explains the unique features of the plant, including a cautionary note about indiscriminate use.

The author, Steven Bratman, MD (Sbratman@aol.com), September 23, 1997
A balanced, comprehensive look at this popular treatment.
St. John's Wort has recently become one of the most popular alternative treatments, and for good reason. The science behind this herb is unusually strong. In fact, it nearly exactly matches what was known about Prozac at the time that drug was licensed. This book goes into all the research to date, accurately pointing out the strengths and weaknesses of the many studies that have been performed. It explains just exactly what situations in which it is appropriate to use St. John's Wort, and gives exact dosages and side-effects. It dispels common myths as well, such as that this herb is an MAO inhibitor, and that it can cause photosensitivity. If you want a sensible analysis of whether this herb can help you or someone you know, read this book.

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.
