> Becoming well from manic depression and off of all psychotropic medications usually takes a period of between six to twelve weeks. Substantial nutritional supplementation, radical dietary changes, and a number of GI tract helpful measures are often necessary to achieve complete wellness from manic depression via solely natural means.
I don't want to hurt any feelings nor step on any toes, but to suggest that every case of bipolar disorder can be completely resolved by adding a supplement here and a vitamin there is naive and irresponsible. Don't get me wrong; I use many supplements and vitamins and some of them help a lot. But let's be real. We are not going to totally "cure" a genetically based disease such as bipolar disorder by quaffing down a couple extra Flintstones Chewables with our breakfast. The disorder is more complicated than that. I'd bet dollars-to-donuts that this website is selling supplements and vitamins.
There, I’m glad I got that off my chest.
