Beverly’s DVD
The Diet For Human Beings DVD will help you change your life as quickly as you want to. I’ll tell you WHY you want to eliminate foods that Humans never ate until 10,000 – 13,000 years ago. And HOW to change your diet correctly.
The Diet For Human Beings is the way Humans are built to eat, a diet similar to the Paleo Diet, also known as an Ancestral Diet, or the Primal Blueprint Diet. It explains how humans ate before agriculture and the domestication of animals, and why our digestive systems prefer animal proteins, fats and fresh plants.
Warning
Do NOT stop taking prescription SSRI’s or other antidepressants without a very slow reduction and only with your doctor’s knowledge and consent. Sudden cessation of antidepressant medication can have very serious side effects.

At around the 19th min of the podcast, your guest is repeatedly confusing amino acids with protein. I don’t know if she isn’t competent enough or is just too nervous.
Your guest seems to be confusing a synapse with a synaptic cleft. A synapse is NOT the gap between synapses.
I think most listeners will not be concerned with the terminology being exactly correct. It’s more about learning how neurotransmitters function and how we can increase them. It’s more about understanding how they work.
I agree — most people won’t notice and won’t care. And I believe that not caring about details is exactly the reason that is largely responsible for the fact that most people are easy to hoax into believing anything, e.g. that saturated fats are harmful or that cholesterol causes diseases. Well, that and not understanding logic, e.g. confusing correlation and cause-effect relationship.
I agree. It is VERY important to worry about details. I do the best i can on the site to tend to detail so that the information I present is correct. Thank you for pointing out these important details. I love clarification – even if it’s over seemingly small details. Unfortunately, I am not able to control what my guests say – people do make mistakes. But I think in this case it is not misleading or terribly erroneous. It will not cause someone to make a wrong decision with regards to their health. It just could have been explained in more detail. But there is only a certain level of detail most care to get into. Her explanation I believe was just a generalization to explain how neurotransmitters and SSRI’s generally work in the brain.
