> Don't forget the hormone complications too. For women, we've got the monthly fluctuations when we're young and even worse ones when we get older. I think most of us have extra sensitivity to stress too. We're like the canaries in the mine when it comes to societal issues such as our food supply, changes in our family structures, environmental pollution, etc.Yes, not forgetting the hormones too! Although, pituitary regulation does rely on neurotransmitters, and I read a recent article that found that every single step of hormone production is influenced by the immune system.
I totally agree about omega 3 fatty acids (thanks for the article) and often wonder what the effects will be now and in future generations.

> The following article caught my eye recently. Do you think the UK will institute some changes to prevent this? I'm wondering because you have national health insurance, and therefore, some governmental interest in prevention of illness unlike our own system in the US which is dominated by money and political influence by Big Pharma and the medical establishment.Even though we have national health insurance, most doctors get most of their information through the drug companies - the government are also heavily influenced by the drug companies too, as is european government!
>> Btw, I noticed that you said you'd been to a presentation where someone from the Monroe Institute was speaking? What did he say and what did you think of him? I have had some experience with their brainwave technology and there's a thread on it here: > JL
The guy was skip atwater - I've used hemi sync before and found it can reduce the fogginess, and improve alertness, even the ones that are supposed to relax. I've also done a signature sound training course, and like using a large bass speaker to vibrate my whole body with sound!! I did find a frequency once that made a bit difference to my brain (i lost what frequency it was though, doh!) and interestingly,i felt great for two weeks until i had some potato crisps cooked in sunflower oil!
