Unhappy? Are You Ready to Feel Great?!! The Mood Cure: Amino Acids and Their Incredible Impact on Moods

That's awesome to hear. Congratulations on finding what works for you. Many people never do.

I take theanine from time to time. It helps create feelings of well-being. Do you have any good info on that you can share on theanine? I don't know a lot about it, but a nutritionist recommended it to me.

One thing I heard about it is that it increases the brain's (or brian's, for you GLPers) Alpha waves. This is why it's so relaxing I suppose, as most are living in Beta 99% of their day. And, Alpha is really good for tapping into greater mind power (as in the Silva Method, which teaches you to access the alpha state prior to visualizing).

I just know its an amino acid; heard about it here on GLP. I buy this stuff:

its pretty good stuff I must say. theanine by itself didnt do as much good as the theanin serene.

Oh Lord, I'm ready to close this thread. The comments are almost all negative and whining about "be careful"... "it doesn't work for me"... "it has this negative effect." Well, blah, blah, blah. Don't ANY of you READ???? My post said READ THE BOOK! It covers all of this already!

The book TOTALLY goes into FOOD and what to eat and what not to.

I'm done talking to a wall of people that can't even read and just want to spew what they think they "know" without looking at what's already been stated. I don't have time to rebut everything posted here when I've already said... READ THE BOOK. That's all. Read it. Covers EVERYTHING everyone here has brought up. ALL very good and valid points, but if you would just READ my post, you'll see that I'm not saying it's a "magic bullet" or that one should just go and "self-medicate" themselves without first educating themselves further. All I'm doing here is pointing people in the direction of a possible "cure" for what, for many, is completely debilitating.

You know what? If I had read this thread prior to getting the book, I NEVER would have gotten the book, much less tried taking aminos and would still be suffering. That's how NOT HELPFUL most of these comments here are, because they are mostly on the negative side, instead of looking at the many, many people helped by taking a simple amino acid. You could be depriving someone of the help they need because of some irrational fear over amino acids. To me, that's insane. Drugs are far, far worse, and over 40% of America is on some form of phychotropic drug at this point. Do you think that's better than taking aminos?

Yes, of course you should educate yourself first on potential side effects and contraindications. You should do that with any supplement. But, the book goes into that, and I stated all that in my OP.

See ya later. You geniuses can figure this out on your own I suppose. Done trying to help unless someone starts posting something positive here that is encouraging versus discouraging.

Not ONE positive comment. All complaints and warnings. I have to ask...

This thread should probably be pinned for the amount of help it could provide to half the people on GLP, if not more.

Kindly click the "pin request" button on this thread if you feel this thread has potential value in helping others break free from anxiety, depression, irritability, paranoia, etc. Do it for your fellow GLPers, not for me. I could care less. I'm already on my "happy pills."

lulz. All the morons cry about big pharma and SSRIs and then take a cocktail of supplements aimed at the same results.

Lulz at tards.

You're clearly just seeking attention. That's OK. Low self-esteem is often a neurotransmitter (serotonin) deficiency from all the crap we eat and from not getting enough of the proper nutrients.

Pick up the book. It could help you. If you don't want a "cocktail of supplements", just try eating better. The book will show you how. If your avatar is any indication, you're probably not eating very well.

Peace

<--- I work indoors as well. I try to walk outside in the afternoon after work to get some good rays :) I also use Earthing gear to make sure I stay grounded and protected from electromagnetic fields in my environment (TVs, computers, cell phones, ANY wireless). They can TOTALLY zap the energy right out of you, along with increasing the rate of oxidative stress on many levels.

The pineal gland senses electromagnetic fields as light, this then reduces melatonin (sleep hormone, along with very powerful antioxidant in the body). As fake light increases all around us we have to make sure to try and balance with as many good rays as we can. Also, grounding any static electricity that can be detrimental to the body.

I love talking about this stuff. I don't think people realize how emotions/mental state have have a VERY real effect on the human body.

People, all amino acids are present in (organic) food, but due to *mineral deficiencies* your body may be unable to synthesis them properly.

Before getting on some weird hormone or chemical, try to quadruple you intake of vegetables and make them all organic.

Also, magnesium citrate is a great way to make up for the typical magnesium deficiencies that EVERYONE has from not eating enough (organic) vegetables.

You should not need magnesium supplements of you are eating enough veggies, but it's a great way to bootstrap yourself.

Remember to get 30 minutes of sunlight on bare skin every day to keep up vitamin D levels.

I have been reading some good things about theanine. It is abundant in green tea and in black tea as well. So that may be a good reason to have a few cups a day.
