packed with useful information

This book is loaded with tons of useful, easy to understand information. It will really help you understand the workings of your body-mind on a much deeper level. Murray is very adept at explaining how nutrition, herbs and vitamins can change the way we feel and think.

This is a great book to read!

As a professional psychologist, I found this book very interesting. Currently working in the high school arena has shown me the awful side effects of prozac on our troubled teens. I believe that drugs are often used to control the outward emotions and do not focus on dealing with the internal problems. While some cases of clinical depression will only respond to conventional drugs, I believe that many less severe cases of depression can be dealt with naturally. In my practice, I have seen patients snap out of depressive episodes by changing their eating habits and begining an exercise program. This book definately gives professionals some preliminary ideas for interventions prior to popping the pill.
