KS: > >> Hi, I hear you about your frustration. I think I've given up on a magic cure. I'd be satisfied these days with a few meds and supplements that when taken together, will treat most of my problems so that I can lead a decent life.
ST: Hi. I think I've given up on the magic cure most of the time. If I found the magic cure, I'm afraid that it, too, would poop out on me. I think that most of the meds HAVE to poop out because developing tolerance is our body's way of adapting. I think it's a homeostatic mechanism of sorts. In order to prevent "poop out" or tolerance, the human body would have to be designed differently, and that's not likely to happen in the near future.
KS: > DMAE is a supplement. The DMAE stands for dimethylaminoethanol. It is very similar to choline - the only difference is one methyl group if I remember correctly. It's a supplement that is in all of the natural treatments for ADD. >

I like that fact that Sahelian seems fairly conservative. I think I might try that supplement at some point. I didn't have any luck with tyrosine. In fact, I had a stiff neck and anxiety from tyrosine, so I think it would be a good idea to start at a VERY low dose for DMAE.
