Ok, this is my last post and then I'm going to leave my bat cave and go outside to get some fresh air and sunshine!
> > > I know you're in "Daddy mode" now but before I forget I wanted to post some info for you. First of all, I misspoke about Dr. Pall and Alzheimer's research. The article was by Dr. David Perlmutter and Dr. Pall was mentioned in terms of Dr. Perlmutter borrowing from or building on Dr. Pall's research. It's an interesting article with dosing schedule and all - probably nothing you don't already know but it might be worth a look-see:

Unfortunately, it's different for men.

I didn't know whether it would just be repetitive for you and you were so busy and I had already bombarded you with so much of my nonsense...
> > I'm so glad it gave you good information. Dr. Perlmutter has a book out called "Brainrecovery.com". He also has another one just out that I think repackages that one in a more commercial way for the masses. I just ordered it from the library. (They didn't have the "Brainrecovery" one.)

Considering that I understand about 75% (at most and on a good day) of what either of you two usually have to say, I think I've done quite good for myself lately.

> OK, modest girl, have you a link to that particular post?Not modest. Just honest. But despite my disadvantage in terms of knowledge and background in these things, I am quite determined to understand my issues and to fix them. Along the way I may get to help others which is a nice bonus.
Anyway, I think I posted that article hear as well. It was the Jay Goldstein, MD article about malfunctioning dopamine autoreceptors in CFS patients. I don't think he has CFS but it got him to thinking that the dopamine autorecptor problem could be his problem as well. Here's his response to the article and you can get the actual article from there:

> Well, it isn't useful if you're the typical omega-3 deficient North American.No, but all he had to say was that for the new PS formulation to be as good as the old bovine one, you need to make sure that you have enough omega-3 fatty acids. Instead he goes on and on about how it's probably no longer a useful supplement and don't waste your money on it. (or am I not interpreting the situation correctly?)
