THE MOOD CURE
By Julia Ross
In The Mood Cure
Julia Ross continues to apply the path
breaking work she explained in The Diet Cure, but she focuses
on malfunctioning moods.
Face it: modern life
has made a wreck out of almost everybody. Usually we lay
nervousness, depression, irritability, weepiness, and every other
unwelcome mood at the door of “stress.” I suspect it is the
totality of modern life that men were simply not designed for – the
reckless speed, the thoughtlessness, the unrelieved and
uninteresting novelty, the shallowness, the threats and fears of
unknown dangers and powers. Whatever the cause, we are “a hundred
times more likely to have significant mood problems than people born
100 years ago.” Adult depression and anxiety have tripled in the
last 12 years. One in ten children suffer from mood disorders.
Julia Ross maintains
that “easily correctable malfunctions in our body chemistry –
malfunctions that are primarily the result of critical unmet
nutritional needs.” She does not maintain that her nutritional
supplement program will cure every ailment known to mankind.
However, in a large number of cases it can eliminate depression,
anxiety, sadness, and irritability – what she calls the “false
moods” that can ruin your ability to enjoy life.
What I appreciate most
about her program is that she does relies neither on fads nor
pharmaceuticals. Rather, her entire program builds on nutritional
changes and supplementing with amino acids. This may not work, but
it certainly won’t kill you or leave you with a smoking gun in your
hand wondering why you just shot everybody in the room, as the mood
altering drugs may do.
The Mood Cure
begins with a questionnaire to identify your false moods. The
following chapters then examine each of the different problems, and
explain what foods and amino acids will help. You don’t have to
supplement with amino acids forever. Most people are off them in
three to twelve months. Best of all, you will probably feel
immediate improvement.
How do I know? Because
we read Julia Ross’s first book, The Diet Cure, and we
tried it. It has left two of the most irritable, unreasonable,
angry people in our family as cheerful and peaceful as lambs.
I know, because I’m one
of them.
