Sparky123, thanks for your response. Very interesting stuff.
I've been reading over the vast amount of material at pfeiffer's website. All the stuff about low histamine, high histamine, over-methylated, under-methylated, copper overload, toxic overload, pyroluria...makes so much sense. I could see myself described perfectly in some of those descriptions.
I go to see my psychiatrist today, who works in partnership with a naturopath in the same office. I am going to ask her why we have never checked these things, other than toxic metals (I have elevated mercury and lead) and that I'm thinking of going to pfeiffer. I mean, even though the naturopath can do all the tests for me, I'm not sure he would know what supplements to prescribe or what doses to prescribe, and he has no way of putting together a custom vitamin.
I like the part that they do suggest meds and they also strive to get you off of them or to lower doses, that each patient is unique.
They suggest staying on current meds and allowing the custom nutrient program to kick in.Pfeiffer is a plane trip and a hotel stay for me. Compared to a lifetime of hit-and-miss meds and side effects, that actually sounds like a reasonable and quick option. I could spend the same amount of money on meds and a psychiatrist in a two month period and be no better off for it.
