> That's what I'm talking about. The idea of taking a Med that helps increase the health of the brain-body by doing away with chemicals and toxins that decrease the body's ability to function correctly. This sounds a million times more logical than taking something that will affect your brains functioning in such an unnatural way as Prozac.
I understand what you are saying. However, mental illness is not a natural state. At this point in Western medicine, some illnesses need synthesized substances to be able to treat effectively. There are some other biological interventions being researched now, some of which might return brain function to a more natural state by manipulating gene activity (gene therapy).
