According to a report in The New York Times: In Germany, where studies have been conducted for nearly two decades, ST. JOHN'S WORT is the leading anti-depressant, out selling PROZAC 4 to 1. German physicians prescribed 66 million daily doses on tablet or capsule form in 1994 alone. There has been no shortage of studies on ST. JOHN'S WORT, which have appeared in such respected publications as the British Medical Journal and Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry and Neurology and according to most studies, ST. JOHN'S WORT works as well as PROZAC for mild to medium forms of depression without serious side effects. Also, AIDS researchers are currently investigating ST. JOHN'S WORT for it’s antiviral activity.
Dr. Ray Sahelian, MD, expert on hormones, nutrients, and herbs, has released a new book called St. John's Wort : Nature’s Feel-Good Herb. In his book Dr. Ray Sahelian, MD, that the active ingredient of ST. JOHN'S WORT - Hypericin, is associated with:
SSRIs work by increasing the availability of serotonin in synapses (junctions between neurons) by blocking their reuptake.
5-HTP (5-hydroxytriptophan) works by increasing the cell’s output of serotonin.
ST. JOHN'S WORT works like SSRIs in that it increases the availability of serotonin in synapses (junctions between neurons) by blocking their reuptake but also increases the availability of norepinephrine, which increases energy and alertness and dopamine, which increases the feeling of well-being.
