"higher levels of GABA"-- interesting; is this a transient effect? I know that when you dye your hair, the outer layer expand in response to the chemical and becomes porous enough to let in the actual dye; but then the swelling goes down; there are many analogies of the effect of chemicals on any surface or substance; i wonder if this GABA increase has been studied for longer than the immediate effect and for how long;
