If you won't take herbs or supplements, you better be careful to eat a balanced nutrient-rich diet. Ocean fish like wild salmon and flax seed and canola and olive oil for your omega-3 fatty acids and your fats. Lean meat and eggs for your B-vitamins and amino acids. Whole grains and legumes for other important vitamins and carbohydrates. Fruits, vegetables, coffee, chocolate and tea for vitamins and antioxidants. And of course--- a little treat for yourself now and then, like a chocolate chip cookie :)
I had a really bad reaction to SJW -- photosensitive rash over my entire torso. ugh. SOOOO F*ck*ng ITCHY!
I guess I draw a distinction between taking supplements* vs taking an herbal, mineral or macromolecular substance to treat or relieve some symptom. Nevertheless, caveat emptor.

*to make up for my incredibly bad nutrition (weeks went by where the only thing I could eat was sorbet) during depression. I've got the white spots on the older part of fingernails that attest to my malnutrition- including probably low protein consumption and/or low zinc.
