A friend recommended Julia Ross' book, "The Mood Cure." My mother and her family suffer from depression and anxiety and the need to be perfect. I took my daughter to Anne Chew at Acu-Choice Health Care in Englewood (303-784-95050). She was diagnosed with a brain chemical imbalance. Chew phrased the problem so well. "Your daughter cannot eat because her body is telling her not to." That took all the pressure off my daughter and the rest of us. The simple adjustment of her GABA levels (a neurotransmitter of the central nervous system) eliminated all her anxiety attacks.

Another acupuncturist found that her body could not process and utilize serotonin. No wonder she had such bad reactions to taking serotonin-boosting SSRIs such as Paxil and Prozac. After using treatments from both of these nonconventional practitioners, my daughter is healthy and at a wonderful body weight. She has graduated from college, lives on her own and has a full-time job.
