Has to do with our crappy refined processed diets.

There are currently over 1500 toxic chemicals in processed foods.

Some of which accumulate in the liver and stay there for years because the necessary amino acids, and vitamins are not in place to move these out of the detoxification channels 1 and 2 of the liver and excretion into the urine for removal.

These mental diseases are rare in Asian countries where fish is a large part of the diet.

Many times these problems are easily fixed without harmful pharm products which cause more trouble and deplete more nutrients or rely on addictive amphetamine based drugs.

Supplementation with:

Folic acid
Fish oil DHA/EPA
Ascorbic acid
Complete amino acids



Sound diet along with this.
Boy, isn't that true. Actually, Many, in these Asian societies are now experiencing, diseases that have been more characteristic to the west. I have used cod liver oil for years, that Norwegian ....stuff. Chase it down with something fast,... bongwater.....do you drink that?

My diet was always good, my folks were from "the Farm". Diet is definitely an
issue, but discussion has revealed that bipolar goes back several generations in my family. Kind of throws out Micky D's.
