When I look back on the objective history of nutrition and chronic disease, I get extremely passed off. The entire field has been driven by egos and check books, even as good studies have shown how wrong those egos were. While we still have huge holes in our knowledge, there is a lot of good, rigorously tested information available today. The decision I've come to is that I'm going to trust nobody but myself. There are no authorities I trust, but there are people whose science I will read before others (people who've shown integrity and the ability to design and carry out good science (not very many, unfortunately)). Unfortunately, it's places like schizophrenia where our knowledge gaps are most pronounced. I hope some day we will understand the brain and, more importantly, be able to fix it. Good luck with your own issues. So many people don't take responsibility for their own health, and that's when this go really bad. Our society believes doctors are the beginning and end of our health. They may be the end[1], but we, individually, are the beginning. 1. I'm referring to chronic conditions here. Doctors have done some amazing things for infectious and acute disorders.
