> I dunno. My big thing is Orthomolecular. The 1970s-era studies that supposedly de-bunked OM were poorly designed and seem designed to fail, honestly.

I do mine w/ meds and counseling and an increasingly nutritious diet. Mercola, oddly enough, doesn't do a whole lot w/ Orthomolecular, but I do sometimes enjoy reading articles on his website.

> I think Hello has a point. I ran out of options beyond "more antipsychotic!" "a different antipsychotic?," so OM seemed like just the ticket. 6ish years in, I've made a miraculous recovery. Was it/is it OM? Possibly, at least in part. There hasn't been a whole lot of research on OM, especially the full cocktails, so...no one can say for certain.EACH proposed treatment or change in lifestyle must be examined through one scientific method or another. I don't think one can make a blanket statement about all alternative treatments or all mainstream psychiatric treatments.
The substances you take might very well be necessary to produce your improved condition. If I'm not mistaken, you have used critical thinking to experiment clinically with vitamins and supplements. I am very supportive of your methods and applaud you on your success. What does Mercola recommend for people with your condition compared to what you discovered for yourself?
