Preliminary studies at the University of Calgary,Canada have shown some effectiveness with atypical obsessive-compulsiv e disorder, pervasive developmental delays and attention deficit disorder.,Asperger' s syndrome, generalized anxiety disorder,Pader- Willi syndrome depression,anxiety and rage. The study in the article used a proprietary formula consisting of Vitamins A,C,D and E, 8 B Complex vitamins in fairly low doses even if you have to take 4 pills per day as the label recommends, the minerals Calcium,Phosphorus, Magnesium, Potassium,,Iodine, Zinc,Selenium and Copper. The formula was also recommended by Dr.Charles Popper,MD an eminent Harvard Medical School psychopharmacologis t who found an 86% of bipolar patients showed a positive response. The somewhat pricey patented formula can be seen at _www.truehope. com_ (http://www.truehope .com) But you can find the nutrients at a better price in most health food stores. I would add the significant benefit for epilepsy, in my own case, my epilepsy was completely reversed using B Complex vitamins and trace minerals. In my case I simultaneously took both vitamin B Complex supplements (20 mg) and dietary change to include large amounts of liver, dark leafy green vegetables, whole wheat bread and brown rice. Other people with epilepsy who have tried this have found it successful. For some B Complex pills have not worked, but consumption of foods high in B Complex and trace minerals has worked. Other people have reported success for schizophrenia. There will be a conference on Micronutrients for Mental Health, in San Francisco, California on Friday December 4 and Saturday December 5,2009. Speakers will include Dr.Popper and Dr.Bonnie Kaplan,PhD researcher on this formula. Also speaking will be Dr.Scott Shannon,MD who will present on Micronutrients for mental health in children, Carol Banyas,MD,PhD and Larry Cormier,MD on micronutrients in adults with bipolar and depression. Dr.Daniel Smith,DC will discuss the role of amino acids in mental health. The conference website is _www.mmhforum. org_ (http://www.mmhforum .org) Actually the treatment for many mental health or psychiatric diseases have a very long pedigree in traditional medical literature. According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) the US Government agency funding research on this topic, the symptoms of schizophrenia include hallucinations, delusions, disordered thinking, movement disorders,flat effect(personality) , social withdrawal and cognitive defects. The NMH lists symptoms of Depression as persistent sad, anxious or 'empty' mood, feelings of hopelessness, pessimism, feelings of guilt, worthlessness, helplessness, fatigue being slowed down, difficulty remembering, or making decisions. Then when you look up the symptoms of Beriberi, the classical Vitamin B1 deficiency disease it on Medline Plus it lists loss of sensation in hands and feet, potential brain damage Later symptoms are mental confusion and speech difficulties. When you look up the symptoms of Pellagra, the classical vitamin B3 (niacin) deficiency it includes mental confusion and delusions and scaly skin. Isn't there an overlap there? It is no surprise that these B Complex vitamins often work. Arnold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
