> Hi --
some posters on another board [bipolar disorder at the neurology webforum at Mass General] have posted
about this. The general consensus is that this is expensive hype *based* on 10 anecdotal reports. No studies,
no research, no nothing in fact. Sad to say it does appear to be yet another web site selling a miracle cure.
I can guarantee you that Truehope stuff is not being tested at Harvard.YOu might be interested in Harvard pdoc Andrew Stoll's The Omega Nutrition Solution -- try amazon.com or look
him up. His research [published in peer-reviewed journals] shows that people with bipolar disorder had fewer
relapses with essential fatty acid supplements -- huge caveat THEY WERE ALL ON PRESCRIPTION MOOD STABILIZERS AND
NOBODY WENT OFF OR DECREASED THEIR MEDS. There is absolutely no evidence that EFAs are helpful by themselves.
And you have to watch the ratio of the EFAs -- so do research.
Good luck.
