The mod 1960s design rises up behind a gated drive, with surveillance cameras poking out from bushes. At the height of the bubble it was worth more than $25 million. Liens were filed against this property when his firm went bust in the early 1990s.

Shelton, however, stood his ground. He organized the study after seriously depressed patients, who had taken St. John's wort but hadn't been helped by it, began turning up en masse at his office. Learning that other psychiatrists were encountering a similar influx, he recruited doctors at nearly a dozen medical centers to join him in a clinical trial of the effectiveness of St. John's wort in combatting depression. With unrestricted funding from Pfizer, which makes both the prescription antidepressant Zoloft and an extract of St. John's wort, the doctors recruited 200 subjects, nearly two-thirds...
