Concise and full of information.

Plenty of practical and useful information here and well documented with summaries of past research. I learned quite a bit about dosage, brands, and the most recent theories about how St. John's Wort works. This herb appears to work on three neurochemicals: dopamine, norephedrine, and serotonin. Prozac and other antidepressents don't work on dopamine. Many people with attention deficit disorder are low in dopamine as well as serotonin, so I found this interesting and have added some info to my website on that topic. There's also a website for free updates. I just checked it and there's a reprint of the LA Times article in which some manufacturer's of the herb were found skimping on the product, including Sundown. I liked the technical information; as a scientist I appreciate the opportunity to look at the data myself.
Very informative!

I wanted to know the correct dosages to try and what was safe when taking other medications. This book answered those questions for me. Highly reccomend for anyone suffering from clinical depression.
