My friend says she's 'allergic' to olanzapine (Zyprexa). I think it turned her into a zombie? I think aripiprazole (Abilify) is the least-bad of the antipsychotics. None of them work when the psychosis is actually caused by m

She'd made a deal with the devil: they agreed to release her from their September 2015 pursuit of an order for involuntary treatment if she agreed to take haloperidol voluntarily. We picked up the prescription, but she resumed drinking

Omega-6 oils are the foundation of the body's inflammatory response: more Omega-6 -> more inflammation (prostaglandins are made from Omega 6 [0]). My friend was eating an Omega-6 heavy diet. Omega 6 can't be diluted with Omega-

My friend figured out for herself, when she was in her 30's, that she's a poor methylator who can't turn the food fortification folic acid into a usable form of Vitamin B-9. She once told me that adding L-Methylfolate to her

My friend, then one I comment about here, now has a guardian. She'd incapacitated herself with alcohol in September 2019. Her father called me in October, 'do you know where she is'? I said she was back in a mental hospital.

Sometimes alcohol overuse is indicative of metabolic problems. Their brain say 'starving, please feed me', but because of insulin resistance sugar can't get into the brain cells. Ethanol has 7 calories/gram. It gets conv

One problem of modern medicine is the use of fake-hormones. When Progesterone USP (bio-identical) is applied to the skin, it gets into circulation and avoids first pass metabolization by liver. When the appropriate solvent is used to dissol
