Self treating through vegetariansm

I ran into this snippet today on Art De Vany's Blog. He was reviewing an article about US gymnasts turning to a low carbohydrate diet to improve performance.

"The article also fails to note that a high carb diet is almost always the diet of preference for bulemics and those with anorexia. I do not think it is a coincidence; they feed back and amplify one another. It is known that high carbohydrate meals induce a release of serotonin. But, it contains so little protein that there is no substrate to produce more serotonin. Over time, a diet lacking protein and high in carbohydrate may lower serotonin."

I found this interesting to the extent that my experience with Sz was that when I was really sick, one of the first treatments I found for myself was switching to a vegetarian diet. I remember that it calmed my mind somewhat. Art''s comment now makes me wonder if the mechanism being fulfilled was an intentional depletion of seratonin. H'penics run high in the neurotrasmitters Seratonin, norepinehohrine, and dopamine, as a result of over methylation.

If you recall the result of "Disruption of the normal functioning of the serotonin system leads to a number of psychiatric conditions, which include anxiety disorders, depression, improper social behavior, and sexual aberrations. Common medical conditions associated with disruption of the serotonin system include disturbance in the sleep-wake cycle, obesity or eating disorders, and chronic pain. "

Problems occured later when my protien surpluses were completely emptied and my adrenal glands were undernourished. In the end, I felt much better when I returned to eating meat, but initally, it caused a lot of discomfort. The seratonin flooded back in, along with a lot of other hormones.

I wonder if other people have the same experience: vegetarianism as a means to control symptoms.
