In natural treatments 5-HTP, tyrosine, and dopa do not “cure.” They simply allow the body to make enough serotonin and dopamine neurotransmitter molecules to overcome the problems that cause neurotransmitter diseases such as depression, anxiety, attention deficit such as ADD and ADHD, etc.
So what is the cause of all these diseases such as depression, anxiety, attention deficit such as ADD and ADHD, etc. associated with serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine?
Permanent damage to the serotonin and dopamine neuron bundles of the brain.
Damage the correct dopamine bundles and you get Parkinson disease. Damage other serotonin and dopamine bundles and you develop depression, anxiety, attention deficit such as ADD and ADHD, etc...
We have identified almost 100 diseases that appear to be from permanent serotonin and dopamine neuron bundle damage. Proper use of 5-HTP, tyrosine, and dopa will compensate for the serotonin and dopamine neuron bundle damage problem leading to relief of symptoms.
On to the real depths and heart of the matter, “What is the cause of this serotonin and dopamine neuron bundle damage?”
If you damage enough serotonin and dopamine neurons in a bundle of neurons conducting electricity through the brain, functions controlled by that serotonin or dopamine neuron bundle will not be controlled properly. In the case of Parkinson's Disease, when enough neurons of the dopamine bundles in the substantia nigra quit working from damage, the classic pill rolling tremor with cogwheel rigidity develops.
Taking these observations one step further, if enough serotonin or dopamine neurons of a neuron bundles regulating sleep die off from toxic or traumatic damage, the person is left with poor sleep patterns. If the serotonin or dopamine neurons of the neuron bundles controlling affect are damaged, the person can be left with chronic depression.
But what is causing this damage to the system that leads to these chronic serotonin or dopamine neurotransmitter diseases such as depression, anxiety, attention deficit such as ADD and ADHD, etc. in people?
In reviewing the problem for several years, we are left with a short list of two.
First, we have seen post traumatic head injury symptoms that can be relieved by 5-HTP, tyrosine, and dopa therapy in some cases. But, we firmly believe that the main source is toxins.
In general toxicity is highly specific. It certainly has been proven in medicine that certain chemical toxins can induce serotonin or dopamine neuron damage and death to specific neuron bundles, such as the dopamine neurons of the substantia nigra in Parkinson's Disease while leaving other dopamine neuron bundles in the brain intact.
The cause of serotonin and dopamine neurotransmitter dysfunction in over 90% of the cases is due to neurotoxic serotonin and/or dopamine neuron bundle damage, which is permanent.
While the damage to the serotonin and dopamine neuron bundles is permanent, the symptoms can be reversed in all the serotonin and dopamine neurotransmitter associated diseases such as depression, anxiety, attention deficit such as ADD and ADHD, etc. by raising the serotonin and dopamine neurotransmitter levels through proper use of 5-HTP, tyrosine, and dopa (as occurs with dopa treatment in Parkinson people). If we could get rid of all toxins from the environment, there is no doubt that over 85% of the diseases such as depression, anxiety, attention deficit such as ADD and ADHD, etc. people suffer with would be gone in a generation.
