like a lot of people here with anxiety/depression....AD's made me more anxious...lucklily omega 3 came along...and the effect on having stable thinking space was/still is profound ...not a drugged or buzzed feeling....just the feeling of being 18 again....so perhaps many of the brain problems we have are neural burnout...shortcircuits due to lack of insulation...taking AD's just pushes the brain harder..so more burnout more blown neural pathways and more anxiety...
Why is this not recognized and availible or proven ? I would guess it probably has somewhere..but its in nobodies financial interest to hype this information on the web..which now cost money...so it gets obscured....
two years ago when I typed omega 3 into the search engines up came studies from Harvard and Sheffield University...showing omega 3 was more effective than traditional remedies....I tried to find this yesterday..and it was'nt there !!
I find this really worrying...although word of mouth has helped here..the potential of omega 3 still remains untapped by the drug companies....they basically ignore its existance...a natrually availible product that offsets neural burnout ....but they cannot patent or control it...so the Pdocs don't have the evidence to take the risk and prescribe it..hence the number of threads here related to prescribed remedies takes over...wheres the balanced view ..?
how many people here had periods of their lives ruined by so -called anti-anxiety effects of stimulants...? if you had it made known that omega 3 can offset those problems would'nt that have made a difference ?
Omega 3 deserves to be more than an "alternative" health remedy..its effect is basic and profound..and its in a class of its own...just not the business type.
on such an important site as psycho-babble its essential that dietry and lifestyle considerations get a dedicated section....precisely because they get ignored by the highly focussed wheels of the business side itself.
