> Some of you may remember me posting previously re "Miraculous Results With Magnesium" especially concerning George Eby's website, "Rapid Recovery From Depression Using Magnesium Treatment" http://www.coldcure.com/html/dep.html.
I was reading this thread yesterday...I agree with the gist of it
I always have to grin when I read statements like "Consider this: the risk of mortality for Japanese women who practice tea ceremony is half of other Japanese women" .. (in the l-theanine part)> I ran into trouble after two months despite making no substantive changes in my supplement and diet regimen. I attributed it to hormonal fluctuations as I had some obvious changes coinciding with the drop in my mood. I started taking natural progesterone, after reading a couple books and numerous webpages about it, and after two weeks felt even worse, so I quit that. [Then I happened to read someone else's book who said that the natural progesterone people had it all backward! I think she might be right.]
Vliet or Larrian Gillepsie?..they reportedly seem to work for most

> It was up and down from then on and I can't really say what I did and didn't do and how it worked/didn't work because I didn't keep track of specifics. I am CONVINCED, however, that even my sometimes ragged magnesium supplementation kept me from feeling suicidal. I've never been as unfunctional as I was this summer before without having suicidal ideation.I think it helps too
And interestingly, after reading "Depression-Free for Life: A Physician's All-Natural, 5-Step Plan"
> by Gabriel Cousens, I tried one of his recommendations, glutamine, this week and after one day, I WAS suicidal.You know, that is why I'm never sure of "amino acid chelates"..I have no idea WHICH amino acid, and I have not been able to find out.
I have sensitivites to MSG, so I guess glumate is out for me too?
Magnesium glutamate does sound bad...I wonder if that is what you could get if you bought magnesium amino acid chelate?Then I took taurine and felt better again the very next day. [George Eby is recommending magnesium taurate these days, instead of glycinate, which is where I got that idea.]
That's good to know, has anyone else tried taurine? It's not something I've come across of as yet. anyone else tried magnesium taurate?
