> You're welcome. My uncle saw Nagurski play in an old-timers' game at the University of Minnesota. The first time Nagurski was handed the ball, he took two steps and fell flat on his face. But he was a few decades past his prime by that point.

I'm looking forward to the new treatments for depression, such as what you're doing now, and the depression helmet from Denmark, and LFMS, and GLYX-13, and some of the other drugs in the pipeline, such as ones that promote neurogenesis and anti-inflammatories that are far more effective and have far fewer side effects than the ones currently available.

> Another treatment I'm interested in that's already available is a neurofeedback protocol that was recently developed by Peter Van Deusen, someone I have a very high opinion of. Van Deusen says the results he and clinicians he's trained have been getting with this protocol are "spectacular." And Van Deusen is a man who is not prone to exaggeration. The future looks bright.

>cool about nagurski. what a great name for a football player. yeah, i loved butkis, but i was a big rams fan until georgia knocked-off her husband and moved the team. still strange not to have a pro team here in LA.
here's a few degrees of separation hugh; in my last high school football game i had to go against a monster of a player named jomo page. he was alan page's nephew. ;)
even better; your optimism and hope for yourself and all of us. thanks once again on that!
i'll say it again; we are blessed to have you here regarding new treatments.
