Howdy! I would also be interested in reading a book that comes with a personal recommendation. There is so much out there to sort through, hard to know what is fact or theory. My neuromuscular specialist is a PHD immunology chemist who is doing research projects on the cellular level, and has diagnosed me with something called myodenylate deaminase deficiency, and we are waiting for the results of DNA testing to see if it is from a damaged chromosome. One of the questions hanging in the air is how many of my problems are from 20 years of limited nutrition, or are my food allergies/intolerances part of a bigger picture of basic cellular malfunction at an elemental level. Unfortunately, this process takes a long time, and I won't get the results for several months. So I am now investigating supplements that I had never even heard of before. I met with my psychiatrist today to get his input on which of the latest handfuls of meds perscribed for various problems (sleep disorder, macular degeneration, possible MS, colitis, etc) that I have been given to try over the past 2 months would he see as the most important, (I have to introduce any new meds or foods spaced far apart) and least likely to tip the depression scales. He said that Omega 3 (recommended by my neurologist as an energy booster) was something that he and many others in the profession actually "perscribe" as a mood stabilizer. Plus it will have all of the other obvious benefits that Omega 3's have, and should boost all of my systems. So now I am even more concerned about knowing how the fish oil will do in a body that can't metabolize any seafood at all. I hadn't known the part about the use as a mood stabilizer, but it can safely be taken with my celexa (and other anti-depressants). Thanks ahead of time for the name of the book, if you don't mind sharing it. Maybe it has an answer. I could just go buy a bottle of the things, but I have so many things that I couldn't take after 1 or 2 pills! Why don't pharamcuetical companies offer "trial size" products! (Duh, $$$$$ !). MaryT
