Raj,
Here are several places to begin. My experience is that
the PWP has to sort through and put together the info. re
integrative medicine them self. WARNING- most of these
references have commercial sponsors. The plus side of
that is that they are written in plain English. But
remember they are advocating their product.

Hi! Charles:
What is "brain sustain"? Could you please elaborate
on this or give
any references? Also what is the reference for SAMe
useful in synthesis of
dopamine and seratonin?
Do you find your use of SAMe helpful, when compared
to not taking it?
Thanks a lot.
