BEST-SELLING AUTHOR PRESENTS MOOD CURE WORKSHOP

[Guest guest]

Editor's Comment

" Great news! This is what I have been working for! "

 

This was the email we received from a mother when the news was released that

major antidepressants have been banned on children in the UK (see story, this

issue) because they can cause suicidal impulses.

 

Why should she care so much? Her young son killed himself while on Prozac.

 

Britain's paper The Guardian warns: " The ban will cause problems for doctors

because insufficient counsellors and psychotherapists are available to offer the

alternative treatment of therapy, and the bill to the National Health Service

for such treatment would be much higher than the cost of the drug

prescriptions. "

 

To add to the mix, now authorities are questioning whether adult use of

antidepressants is safe.

 

During these times, Safe Harbor is proud to be offering our Mood Cure Workshop

(see info below) so that practitioners DO have safe alternatives that are not

only effective but much less expensive.

 

If you are not familiar with Julia Ross's solution-filled book The Mood Cure and

the powerful, yet simple, amino acid treatments she uses, among many other

nutritional solutions, then you are in for a treat. There is a reason why her

book is Safe Harbor's most recommended.

 

The workshop will offer an in-depth look at these treatments " from the horse's

mouth. " You will get your questions answered and find out how they work in real

clinical situations.

 

These are the treatments of the future. We hope to see you there!

YOU WILL LEARN:

 

How to recognize which of four key neurotransmitter deficits - in serotonin,

in the catecholemines, in GABA, or in endorphins - is generating a particular

negative, or false, emotion.

What optimal neurotransmitter function looks and feels like, and how you and

your clients can distinguish true from false moods.

How to use targeted amino acids to eliminate depression, anxiety,

irritability, chronic sadness, apathy, over-stress, obsessiveness, and many

other symptoms of neurotransmitter deficiency.

Hands-on techniques by actually seeing the aminos used in demonstrations and

by " prescribing " them yourself, in groups facilitated by experienced

nutritionists.

How amino acids compare with drugs like Prozac and Wellbutrin, and how those

on antidepressants can most safely experiment with the aminos and switch over to

them.

How addictive cravings for carbohydrates can be generated by false moods and

how amino acid therapy can normalize appetite as well as mood.

How conditions such as hypothyroidism, hypo- or hyper-cortisolemia, parasite

or yeast overgrowth, and sex hormone imbalance can affect the utilization and

effectiveness of the aminos.

When certain amino acids should not be used. For example, glutamine is often

contraindicated in someone with bipolar tendencies.

How to quickly counteract any adverse reactions to aminos.

How and when to augment protocols with essential fatty acids, vitamins,

minerals and such nutrients as SAM-e and St. John's wort or medications such as

SSRIs.

How psychotherapy and nutrient therapy interact.
