In Canada Tryptophan is only available with a prescription ... so I don't consider it a supplement ... but I guess it is.
I've never read the book you mentioned ... but I am tired of spending money on books with promises of curing my mood.

According to this woman, she'll get patients have IMMEDIATE relief in her office the very first time she sees them just by ingesting a supplement she guesstimates based on the patient's depressive symptoms.
