RE: GLA - a panacea?

Right, GLA is for some. I have always said this.

 

I WISH all of us could have something which is like this thing is for me,

because it's kindof a "savior" from pain. Amazing.

 

But no, to notice a bang from it, you'd have to be dopamine depressed, which

is different than seratonin, or gaba, or endorphin, or other...depressed. You

must identify YOUR CASE.

 

Correct. Cousons approach UNDERLINES UNIQUENESS in all cases. We are all a

little different. I was OBVIOUSLY a dopamine whacko on the low side, which is

what they find in Scot/Iri, the land of Celtic Nerve Knots.

 

Physicians, find your root problems, for yourselves, individually, and heal

that, and shine. Then walk and teach. Paribrajakacarya, travelling teacher.

 

Become a healed lighthouse. You cannot heal some things. Think not of it.

Heal the healable.

 

May we have the intelligence to know the difference.

 

By the way, the age of 2 is upon us. Purush in no more. From conquest

outwards, we now turn to conquest inwards, from Lingam to Yoni, from 1 to 2,

from self to relating, the time is upon the Earth. And it is good. This is

not news.

 

The day of liking attention is over for me. Allow me to relate without

commenting about me. I wish to dissapear in that way. I speak the truth in

weakness, so falter I will, but should I stop, I say nay.

 

Purushottamam, I love you too. Thanks for telling me to shut up and get back

to work. (my words, not yours). You're so right. God help me so.

 

I'm happy today, after great sadness.

Hello Chris,

 

Yes! I appreciate your concern, however the recent discussions led me to

investigate further and I discovered that Evening Primrose Oil has

(supposed) anti-inflammatory properties. It's for this reason (not

depression) that I've decided to give it a go...can't hurt to try I'm sure

:-)...what I have found is some mild "reflux", but that's a minor

discomfort.

 

Best Regards

Wendy

[gjlist] GLA - a panacea?

 

 

Hello All:

 

At the risk of being Mr Wet Blanket here, I just wanted to add some

important points to the whole GLA and evening primose discussion. After

reading Cousens book, it's quite clear that he's talking about GLA for a

specific type of depression/neurotransmitter imbalance. Das has mentioned

this regarding dopamine imbalances, but I think it's getting applied to all

sorts of things in a general way. As I understand it, Cousens' typologies

of depressions are organized around which neurotransmitter is out of whack.

In Das' case, it was his need for a high from drugs or booze (the

Irish/Scottish gene) that was the big tip off that dopamine was the

problem. But this applies to only some forms of depression. Cousens is

clear that depressions mixed with anxiety are more likely to be caused by

serotonin imbalances. These are best treated with omega 3 oils such as

flaxseed and NOT GLA. He also has a regimen of other supplements that one

should follow besides the oils.

 

So, just in case, you were all rushing out and buying Evening Primose Oil

and wondering why it wasn't working the wonders that it has for Das, that

might be one explanation.
