Lou,
You write as if you have the answer to all ills when it comes to the mind. I hope that you are open to the idea that you come across as "A Know It All". There are 8 billion brains on this planet none of which are biochemically exactly alike. People react differently to foods, beverages, situations that arise in life etc. No two people are completely similar so it is important to remember that we could react differently. I hope that you are open to the idea that you could be over generalizing and be making a blanket in thinking that your way is the right way. What has worked for you might work for someone else but might not. Who knows what your response will be. Looking at your previous responses I might (not sure thought so I am not over generalizing) expect you to analyze my sentences and pick up on my mistakes that I might have have made in my response and that is great. Just please, if you can, be open to the idea that you might, just might not have all the answers. Here is a definition of a "Know It All" that I found in Wikipedia. It might give you an idea as to how your responses reflect on others. I am sure you mean well but again it would be great for you to be open to the idea that for some people your responses are unhelpful and are not the way to his/her recovery.
"A know-it-all will invariably dispute others. For instance, someone may present a conflicting opinion or make a recommendation, but the know-it-all will act as though it had already been suggested, analyzed, and discounted. A know-it-all may also disregard or devalue advice from someone who actually has the knowledge the know-it-all purports to have. Know-it-all may also refer to a legitimate expert who flaunts his or her knowledge".
