Dr. Braverman explains in great detail how the imbalance of four neurotransmitters in your brain (dopamine, acetylcholine, GABA and serotonin) cause pretty much everything that ails you.  He’s got tests you can take to determine your dominant neurotransmitter and what deficiencies you might have.  While he does lay out a plan for righting what’s wrong, it involves two aspects that I find difficult to live with.  The first is getting your doctor on board in case you need a prescription drug of some sort.  The second is a diet plan.

I’m not knocking his research and program; this stuff might work for some people.  But if I have to eat stuff that grosses me out, I’m not going there.  According to his quizzes, I have a GABA deficiency and ought to be eating things like oatmeal, yogurt, liver, dark-meat fowl (and what is THAT??), mushrooms and fish.

As much as I’d like to be the picture of health, if I can’t do it avoiding foods that make me gag, it just isn’t going to happen.
