This title looks at why our ancestors relied so much on omega 3 oils, found in fish, flaxseed, game, breast milk and walnuts for their brain development and general health. The author believes most humans are deficient in omega 3 from birth onwards - especially if we're not breastfed. The results of deficiency include: depression, post-natal depression, an increase in degenerative diseases like Alzheiners, and an increase in heart attacks and strokes. This book introduces a safe, natural, and simple treatment for managing depression and related illnesses without side effects using diet and over-the-counter supplements.

'Dr. Stoll's comprehensive, intelligently written book will be a great resource for people investigating the intriguing link between Omega-3s and mood stabilization."

'Emotional disorders create enormous suffering for people every day. While drug treatments have been both life-improving and life-saving for many people, none are without disturbing and sometimes dangerous side-effects. Stoll provides here a careful, scientifically-based look at a natural, non-drug treatment for depression and manic-depressive illness. What a wonderful hope and possible release this gives those in pain around the world. Easy to read, fascinating, and informative, this book is a must for every person who struggles with these conditions and for those who love them."
-Harold G. Koenig, M.D., Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Medicine at Duke University Medical Center and author of THE HEALING POWER OF FAITH
