Re: SAM-E
It's been great reading what everyone here has to say about SAMe.
Several years ago an Acupuncture student I was receiving treatments from at our local Acupuncture College recommended SAMe for me. I had not heard of it.
I spoke with an alternative health practitioner I knew about it too and he told me it would have no ill effects and I may as well try it. I had gone the pharmaceutical route back in the 80's and will never ever go that route again. I had just learned to live with the
Depression that I have experienced intermittently ever since junior high school.
He recommended the Life Extension (sp?) Foundation brand, and offered to get me some at a discount. I have used that brand off and on ever since. Sometimes I switch to the Jarrow brand which I have found, actually, to be most effective of all brands. I buy it when the local health food markets or Pharmaca have it on sale. I have always taken 400mg per day and it's worked like a charm for me since the beginning.
I am so very grateful for SAMe. It's been one long consistently dependable miracle in my life!
