It may prove to be more popular than St.

John's wort for the treatment of depression and other serotonin-related conditions, as it's been shown to produce results in as little as two weeks, while the herb may take a month or longer.

Author Michael Murray, N.D., a leading naturopath and coauthor of The Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, delves very deeply to explain the hows and whys of depression at the neurotransmitter level, and the illustrations of presynaptic membranes may be a bit much for the lay reader.

There are also several sections with intimidating titles along the lines of "Enhancing 5-HTP with Catecholamine Precursors." But the book's comprehensiveness makes up for its occasional denseness.

Murray includes enlightening sections on nutrition for peak serotonin synthesis, other complementary herbal supplements, and many online and physical sources for obtaining 5-HTP.

-Erica Jorgensen Book Description:This is the first comprehensive guide to 5-HTP-an amino acid extracted from the seeds of the Griffonia plant-which is available without prescription and has been shown to be safer and more effective than prescription drugs in treating conditions associated with low levels of serotonin.Our stressful modern lifestyles wreak havoc on our health-we're waging a constant battle to overcome the ill effects of poor diet, lack of exercise, and no...

Spinal deformities resulting from this loss of vertebral body height (kyphoscoliosis) may lead to functional disability, and spinal cord compression may ultimately result from untreated fractures, leading to motor dysfunction, incontinence and other neurological deficits.

Surgical intervention rarely is an option because of the difficulty in using hardware for instrumentation and also related medical morbidity at the higher age groups does increase the risks in surgery for the patients.

Conventional treatments such as bed rest, orthotics, physical therapy and narcotics often are ineffective.

Vertebroplasty Percutaneous vertebroplasty is an interventional radiology technique introduced in France in the 1980s and perfected in the United States since 1995.

It has been used successfully to relieve the symptoms of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, as well as spinal metastases and other bone problems.

In this procedure, bone cement is injected under fluoroscopic or CT guidance into the vertebral body to stabilise it and relieve pain.

The cement also makes the vertebral body stronger, and can prevent further collapse.

In patients with severe pain and are unresponsive to conservative therapy, conventional radiographs, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography or bone scans are performed to locate the fracture that is causing the pain.

It also determines the degree of vertebral compression.

The procedure typically takes one to two hours a...

Waking up in the morning should be a happy experience, but instead we experience the opposite.

Usually, we wake up in the morning with pains and aches all over our bodies.

We wake up to the fear of the dreams and nightmares we had the previous night.

Our joints are so stiff we can hardly put one leg in front of the other.

No wonder our bodies are so stressed.

When do we ever get enough rest and sleep?

Looking at the life of a single parent who also holds an executive position at work makes one wonder how she copes with all the challenges she is faced with daily.

Her day may start as early as 5 a.m with all the children she has to get ready for school, prepare breakfast for and get herself ready for the endless meetings and reports in the office.

drop She has to drop the children off at school, perhaps at different ones, on her way to work.

She has to fetch them from school at 1 p.m, drop them off at home and still return to work.

How does she cope?

This just shows how much pressure the body may go through in a short space of time.

The solution is to look for alternative help yet these alternatives may be so costly.

There are still the demands of dropping off the children at a friend’s birthday party and collecting them during her work schedule.

She still has to attend prayer meetings at church after work.

This is a typical example of the lifestyle we are exposed to.

Our social life is cut short by the mounting responsibilities and demands of making ends meet befo...
