I got an end to cycling, but it was a whole lot like, well, somewhere here I posted yesterday. . .Flatlining. Not exactly like being alive. Am done with *that* trial, unsure yet if we learned anything at all.

Lorraine and ZO..."Orthomolecular" means literally "right molecule"...it involves much more than trying single well known supplements to "cure" or effectively treat these conditions. The idea is that EVERYONES's bio-chemistry, although"basically" the same, is in fact highly variable from one individual to the next. SO, simple foods or nutrients that one person might thrive on in minimal dosages might cause allergic reactions and/or "under"nutrition in others...I suggest some orthomolecular drs., as well as reading the works of Dr. Abram Hoffer, among others(pheiffer, Pauling, etc.). And not that I don't trust pdocs, cause to "not trust them" would be a gross generalization/bigotry. But...I DO know that many Drs. can be somewhat narrowminded and not so much into research - more pure clinicians than researchers...If u look into it, I think u will find that the premise is very logical. Another book called "Brain Allergies" is very good as well, describing not only nutrients, but ecology as contributor to mental dis-ease. I look forward to your responses.
