> ----------------------------------------------Ron: Great questions. My book says:
"Recently, as reported in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, scientists have shown that the omerga-3 fatty acid phosphatidylserine (PS) increased dopamine, norepinephine and epinephrine concentrations in animals.".....
"From all this we can conclude the omega-3 fatty acids are essential for all aspects of healthy brain cell metabolism."....
"As we have seen...our brain health depends on PS more than on any other single fatty acid...."Anyway, he goes on to recommend that you supplement with 300 mg PS and 5 grams of fish oil.
The name of the book is "The Brain Wellness Plan" and the author is Dr. Jay Lombard--his credentials are Board Certified Neurologist, Chief of Neurology at Westchester Square Medical Center, clinical professor of neurology at Cornell University Medical College.
I like the book quite a bit. He discusses Depression, Autism, Alzheimer's, CFS, ADD, MS, Parkinson's and Lou Gehrig's. His central premise is that with each of these conditions what you want to do is a) reduce excessive inflammation, raise mitochongrial activiy and c) rebalance neurotransmitter levels.
