I have respect for Pfeiffer and his associates. However these ideas were formed 30 years ago and where's all the studies to back them up? You really struggle to find any credible data to back up any of these subtypes including pyroluria which is a shame. I am studying a degree in Nutrition which includes Orthomolecular treatments, it does pay to question things and not accept them blindly though.
If you believe you fit in to one of these subtypes then you can experiment with the ideas and treatments, and to be honest that's what we all do including doctors, we all experiment until we find something that works. I have looked at these subtypes and there's quite a bit of crossover when I analysed my symptoms, I could fit in to a bit of every one, which largely undermines the validity of them in my opinion.
