You absolutely were dismissing anyone else’s approach, and you removed any evidence of your words to that effect from the record. That’s not the best healthiest course of action for the community or the discussion at hand, but it probably works best for you, and I will leave it there.

Personally I take 5-HTP and iron and zinc and a multi. Placebo effect, maybe, but who cares? Managing to drag my ass across the room and take them at all is a tiny little victory. Leaving the house while the sun is out is a tiny little victory. Getting to the supermarket for real food instead of corner bodega ramen is a tiny little victory. Go from there.

Personally, I think that designer psych drugs by the pharmaceutical giants are a huge scam that have done at least as much harm as good.  But there are plenty of vitamin scams running, too.

~Last week, a report in the prestigious US journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences revealed that people with higher levels were more likely to survive colon, breast and lung cancer. This follows last year’s University of San Diego review of 40 years of research, which revealed that a daily dose could halve the risk of breast and bowel cancer.

Other claims are that it reduces the risk of heart disease (a study of 10,000 women in California found that those who took supplements had a 31 per cent lower risk of dying from it), diabetes (in a Finnish study of 12,000 children, it cut their chance of developing Type A diabetes by 80 per cent), even colds and flu (New Yorkers who took vitamin D had flu 70 per cent less often).~

I personally collected and charted information during the massive Women’s Health Initiative study. Vitamin D is an integral link in sustaining good health.

Studies in third world countries show 80% g0t better in 2 years because they couldn’t afford the medication. Studies in the U.S. show out of thousands of people studied, only 5% on Rx’s got better.

I was cured in two weeks after STOPPING 5 AD’s, I did it cold turkey too. 

They want you to experience side effects, “Whoa, slow down there, is seems you’re experiencing episodes again, let’s up your dosage.” Assholes almost killed me.  

Insurances won’t pay for substantial mental health visits,” Educate on how to Medicate & Tolerate!”

There is no proof on how anti depressants work. Their “proof”  is, get this, SIDE EFFECTS. “Hum, they must be doing SOMETHING, or this patient wouldn’t be having side effects.”

That’s like filling a gas tank full of water, letting the car roll down a hill, then say “Hum, the water must be doing something, the cars moving.”

There are a few  “enormous list of illnesses is cause by this ONE THING”, including smoking, high fat diet.  And several vitamin or mineral deficiencies can cause pretty global symptoms, which would give you an enourmous list of illnesses (really symptoms) caused by one thing.

I’d be happy to point out the places where it looked like you were dismissing other factors, but given that you’ve gone back and edited out all of your posts to either be blank or say something quite the opposite, it’s not possible. It’s unfortunate that you are so passionate about this topic and yet not willing to stand by your own words and arguments.

If my work saves even one person, that’s working out well for that one person, I’m not out to win medals or prove my existence to anyone.

The problem is that you weren’t just sharing your OWN PERSONAL STORY, you were dismissing the possibility that there may be other factors and assuming that you have the magic cure. The truth is, if that worked for the percentages you were claiming earlier (that you’ve now edited out – way to stand by your own words), then a lot more people would be taking it. Backing up your claims with popular media articles and/or anecdotal evidence doesn’t actually “prove” anything.
