> My own light-bulb moment, in the context of chronic functional malnutrition, involved another person's self-treatment with magnesium taurate. It was almost exactly a decade ago, that we made first contact. He was an ultra-rapid bipolar type 1. He had mood states that lasted hours, or even less. He was ready to kill himself. No medicine had ever helped him, other than those that drugged him into a state of torpor and stupor. That was hardly a fair choice to have to make.

Thanks for that:)
What you have posted above is i can/have identified with/experienced!-except the planning to kill myself bit, that is why i posted to you over Taurine@(Alcohol-which has placed me in trouble too often)
According to Dr Michael Colgan, Mag Aspartate is the best absorbed-far and away better than Oxide, i don't know about Mag Taurate thou-Is that Magnesium+a Taurine substrate?
It's common for Bipolars to use booze or Pot to self medicate-as you would know.
Thats ALSO HOW I GOT INTERESTED IN THIS, i drank to self medicate, and was given Risperdal (Risperidone)2mgs, now taking nutrients, So if you had a mood-swing disorder you would take Magnesium+Taurine together?
Once again thanks:)
My Degree is in arts, not Biochemistry, but have read that any effect a drug can produce or control in someone, there are nutrients that will have similar results@ of course be safer.
Cheers
