I am reading The Edge Effect now. I am not terribly impressed with it... but it has some interesting comments. I guess my biggest problem, is that Dr. Braverman attributes so many diseases and conditions in long list format to each neurotransmitter...without proof or validation. Often hypertension is listed with hypotension. ?? Duh???He claims to use Growth hormone on just about everyone...and this bothers me too.

It seems a bit grandiose for me. So read it carefully. I find it overwhelming, and complex. And I have read many many books of this type, and this one is giving me "trouble".
For example, he recommends using Aspartame for every patient.
This is problematic for me right there. If you go to Amazon and read the comments, you'll see what others think too.
He is also a big fan of bioidentical hormone treatment.

I found this book much more useful:
