Good points ! Vitamin A is TOXIC in a high enough dose. Given that TRUE HOPE has such high levels, what happens when you also eat food, which is full of vits and mins ? Possible toxic levels, thats what. The minerals and Vit A are of concern as they can be toxic if you take too much. Doing some quick math, if you take the suggested dose of TRUE HOPE and eat there is a good chance you will be at a dangerous level for vit A and some mins. If you are a vegan, even more so.
Please keep posting Deb_s, in the several years I have been here several have stopped meds and started whatever alternative treatment and we tend to never hear from them again. I can remember one who came back to report that they did not do well and were back on meds. Never heard from the others, despite how convinced they were, so I suspect they did not do well or they would of told us so.
Keep in mind mental illness is measured in montths and years, given its changable nature, so the true test is not a day or a week or a month of doing well.
