and All

Whether caused by microwave or radiation exposure or something else,

serotonin deficiency impacts function as this research enumerates.

My tools for improving serotonin are:

SAM-e plus Bs and TMG

or

l-Tryptophan (precursor of 5-HT, 5-htp has never worked for me)

or

turkey, neat..... no other foods to compete with the receptor sites in the

brain

Intense light, preferably sunlight to reset and mainatin the critical

serotonin/melatonin balance.

Inositol increases second messenger signalling for serotonin, which

gives the serotonin you already have more " kick. " 4-12 grams as

needed, or daily, seems to work. It is a nice sweet tasting powder

which can easily be used by mixing 1 tsp to 1 tbsp into a beverage or

just eating it off the spoon. It lasts a long time in your body, too.

Low serotonin has NOTHING TO DO WITH ANXIETY. That is low GABA

activity. When you have low serotonin AND anxiety, what you really

have is inadequate adrenal function. This responds very poorly to

serotonin and GABA support, and quite well to adrenal support like

adrenal cortex, herbals such as licorice, or glucocorticoids such as

hydrocortizone.

I find this list interesting. For the past 1 1/2 years I have maintained a diet

specific to serotonin/beta endorphin deficiency as suggested by Kathleen

Desmaisons in her book, Sugar Addicts Total Recovery Program. The key factor in

this is moderately high protein, and potatoes, one with each meal and every

evening, with skin, to create a a mild insulin spike. Her research has led her

to think that evening spud allows amino acids to cross the bbb, and one specific

amino acid is more able then with the potato to make the needed serotonin. I am

oversimplifying her ideas greatly. And it's been awhile since I've read the

why's and wherefores. She has a website...www.radiantrecovery.com that may be

of interest. I found prior to CPAP and FFC that the food program completely

removed my cravings to eat constantly. I now maintain 3 moderately high protein

meals, with only complex carbs. Have eliminated once and for all whites from my

diet. I do use honey on a rare occasion. But high glycemic index foods are

eliminated from the program. It's a very interesting study. I don't know if I

truly fit into the description of sugar sensitive as she explains it, now that I

know more about what is really going on within me. But, she provided a small

piece to the complicated puzzle of my health I think.

Thanks for posting that. I'd like permission from you to email it privately to

a friend of mine that is currently struggling with Post Polio Syndrome. We have

similar experiences with post exertion fatigue, low energy and serotonin issues.

Anxiety and decreased 5-HT

Factors which reduce serotonin levels:

Stress

PCB's, pesticides and plastic chemicals exposure

Under-methylation

Inadequate sunlight exposure

Tryptophan (precursor) deficiency

Iron, calcium, magnesium, zinc, B3, B6 & vitamin C deficiency

Inadequate sleep

Glutathione deficiency

Chronic infections

Genetic serotonin receptor abnormalities

Chronic opioid, alcohol, amphetamine & marijuana use

Human growth hormone deficiency

Progesterone deficiency

Impaired blood flow to brain
