i'm sorry to be skeptical, but the only special things you seemed to have done through this treatment are to start thyroid medication, avoid gluten, and use glutathione cream. The thyroid medication itself is enough to make a considerable difference if one has hypothyroidism. i do wonder how much impact that keeping a gluten-free diet can have for one who should, though.
But unless they were able to determine through those tests that gluten is significantly detrimental to you, then it really doesn't seem like their treatment is that big of a deal.

Primrose oil is easy to get and i doubt it would have any profound or fully noticeable benefits.
Zinc picolinate is also easy to find (at least here in the states), and although the pyridoxal-5-phosphate is fairly difficult to obtain in my experience, it is quite possible to if you look around, and i don't think it's even more absorbable than the pyrodoxine form of B-6. Also, alot of people should already be aware anyway that Zinc (picolinate), B-6, and Vitamin C, calcium, and magnesium are good nutrients to take for mental health. i take each of those except for calcium, as well as other B vitamins, selenium, vitamin E, and beta-carotene. i've never noticed any difference either. For those things to contribute to such a vast improvement is unlikely, to me.
i'm not saying i don't believe you or don't appreciate the suggestions. i'm just skeptical that it's worth it to spend that many hundreds of dollars for somebody to tell you to correct a hypothyroid condition (which should be tested by any dr. anyway, if you show any possible signs) and to prescribe you some run-of-the-mill nutrients. And i'd like someone to convince me that this Pfeiffer place is more than i'm making it out to be-- and really is effective. And i'll look into those sites you gave sometime too. But for now it sounds like it's a little too good to be true for most people.
Hope i'm wrong.> well i use the cream of course twice a day.
