Hi Joan,

First I need to ask you some questions about and then we'll go

from there. Not everyone can take SAMe, and GABA supplements do not

cross the blood brain barrier, so taking GABA is not effective. You

can, however increase GABA activity by taking precursors and other

supplements that act on GABA receptors. More later...

In addition to anxiety, does she have obsessions, depression,

allergies (inhalant and/or food), paranoia, heavy body hair, mood

swings, dry skin, rages or sensitivity to light? Let me know all

that apply.

Thanks,

Hi Nuha,

I was asking in relation to overmethylation, undermethylation and

pyroluria. Your daughter has some of the symptoms of overmethylation

and pyroluria. There are blood tests that can determine this. Do you

know if she has high serotonin? Did you have an epidural and/or

pitocin when you gave birth? If so, Respen-A might be something you

can look into.
