GABA leaky BBB test ...relaxed feeling a good or bad thing? confused!
Hi Dr Jeff,
I have just ordered your McCombs Plan, but I am going to test for a leaky BBB.
You said:
"If within 3 hours of taking it [GABA] you feel more relaxed and quiet, then GABA is able to get into your brain, pass the blood brain barrier. It shouldn't be able to do this".
Well some of the GABA product descriptions are as follows:
'Studies have shown that GABA has a relaxing effect and reduces anxiety in healthy subjects in stressful situations - just one hour after it is taken.'
I am confused. They are saying that feeling relaxed after taking this is supposed to happen? Are they wrong?
If after taking it I do feel relaxed, is it safe to keep taking it as a remedy for anxiety until I get rid of my candida?
Will a leaky BBB reduce the effectiveness of the Plan or can you repair a leaky BBB duting the plan?
Thanks
