5-HYDROXY TRYPTOPHAN

Out of Africa comes a small bean, Griffonia Simplici Folia. Griffonia acts by providing your body with 5-HTP, and amino acid that easily crosses the blood-brain barrier where it converts to serotonin in a natural process. Serotonin is a key to numerous brain functions. A decreased level of this neurotransmitter has been associated with depression, insomnia, obsessive-compulsive disorders, as well as eating disorders leading to obesity or the reverse such as anorexia/bulimia. 5-HTP from Griffonia is a natural pathway, to increase the body's natural production of serotonin.

LITHINASE

USEFUL IN PROVIDING A SAFELY-METABOLIZED FORM OF LITHIUM FOR SYMPTOMS OF MOOD SWINGS.

The monovalent metal, lithium, is effective in treatment of manic-depressive illness. Although the specific mode of action is not known, it is felt that lithium acts to decrease norepinephrine concentration at receptor sites in the central nervous system.

Lithinase is useful in providing a safely-metabolized form of lithium to the manic depressive individual. Symptoms include the characteristic mood swings, alternate and recurring periods of depression and/or elation. These mood swings are precipitated by internal rather than external events.

NOTE: Lithium can replace sodium in extracellular fluid and at membrane sites. Therefore, patients on a salt free diet should not be given lithium. If lithium is indicated, salt and fluid intake must be maintained to avoid sodium depletion and diuretics should not be given.

A hair mineral analysis test should be performed every three weeks to ensure that toxic levels are not being maintained.

Dr. Guberman also will use Lithinase when helping to calm down an overactive thyroid.
