What do you think about the book of Dreyfuss A remarkable medecine has been overlooked ? |
Phosphatidylserine (made from soy lecithin - not brain - to reduce the transmission of disease such as mad cow disease) reduces adrenal gland activity.
When a person has adrenal fatigue, phosphatidylserine would worsen adrenal fatigue.
The adrenal glands provide energy on demand in response to stress. It is necessary to allow them to work as well as they can so that a person can then respond to whatever stresses they may face.
Thus far, the only reason to possibly take phosphatydylserine is in a condition where the adrenal glands are enlarged and make too much cortisol. This, for example, can occur in a psychotic depression.
The excess cortisol produced in such a depression is thought to cause the psychotic symptoms (such as hallucinations and delusions). Medications (such as RU-486) which block glutocorticoid receptors, which can then reduce the size of the adrenal glands and reduce cortisol production, are useful to treat psychotic depressions. Of course, one cannot use such a medication forever since the medication may cause adrenal fatigue.
Other than seizures and in a few exceptional cases to stabilize mood such as in a bipolar disorder, I have not found any other use for Dilantin.
I am always interested in new ideas. What is Dreyfuss's full name and the title of the book?
