I’m currently taking Ashwagandha, Magnolia Bark, GABA, Inositol, and Glycine for OCD. I definitely notice the calming effect!

There are no known side effects. Documentation is found on NIH and FDA websites. SSRI’s are based on St. John’s Wort which also causes toxic shock. The longer the drug is taken, the worse the shock becomes, eventually leading to death. This is a pharmaceutical trade secret, protected under Federal Law, the same law which protects drug companies against Opiate addiction lawsuits. I discovered this secret when I developed the world’s only verifiable diagnostic test for psychiatry and neurology. The test measures chemical changes in the brain. Seratonin levels are not changed by SSRI’s. The same goes for Dopamine reuptake inhibitors. Neurotransmitters cannot be “recycled”. The only increase is in toxins in the brain caused by the reuptake process. Seratonin can be produced in a lab for less money than a SSRI and is dramatically safer (another trade secret).

It’s stated in your previous article that zinc may disrupt the blood-brain barrier. Is it still advisable for OCD patients to supplement zinc then?

And why only mention bifidobacterium longum when the study uses a probiotic formulation of lactobacillus helveticus and bifidobacterium longum?

Thanks!
