ok here is an example of this system: my ENTJ friend was having trouble sleeping and i figured out the order of her neurotransmitters and then did a little bit of brainstorming. her neurotransmitters looked as follows: dopamine (no problems here), acetylcholine (no problems), GABA (probably no problems) and serotonin (this was her problem). she had a pretty extreme serotonin deficiency. all she did was take some tryptophan (an amino acid) supplements and within a month she was sleeping for 8 hours every night with no problems and waking up feeling refreshed.

all this is in the Edge Effect by Eric Braverman...this an an EXCELLENT book. worth every penny. unfortunately it doesn't go into how he developed this enough. im surprised no one else read it. if you are a health nut/mbti nut this is a must buy. he literally relates MBTI to neurotransmitters then gives diet plans for each type.

im pretty sure pot gives a spike in acetylcholine btw lol
