Follow up. I did look up info on the NIH and NIMH budget. Posted the results in a separate thread, if anyone's interested. Their funding has been cut and cut and cut.

That means not cutting taxes and demanding big cuts in discretionary programs and trying to shut down the government. I'd be very interested to see what the NIH budget is and how it's changed in recent years. I think I'll look that up tomorrow and get back to you all.

Maybe something like a very low carb, high healthy fat diet could benefit many brain problems. But of course it wouldn't be in their interests to promote this.

It had drug company scientists talking about the advances they're making.and there was a comment one made about how beneficial a certain diet or lifestyle or something can be (dont remember exactly), and he said "If only we could find a way to take all the benefits of this and put it in a pill. I know these aren't exact details, but if a drug company does know of a better treatment, and can't put it in a pool to get rich off of. We are going to be missing out if we don't search far beyond our quest to find a better pill.
