Marijuana, how would I treat?

[Guest guest]

Thanks for your concern.

Actually I am treating my son along with

my psychiatrist friend. But the psychiatrist

is not interested in knowing what treatment

I give to my son. I mainly give the

EPA and DHA and GLA. I also give minerals

including selenium and Magnesium and Calcium.

I also advise him to take high animal-protein

diet as he is O blood group type and, in

any case, through this diet he can get

tyrosine and phenylalanine that he needs to

counter his depression when he is in the

depressed phase of bipolar.

On the whole, past three years, his

psychiatric diagnoses have changed from Schiz

to schizoaffective to depression to bipolar.

Now, lately, his depression bouts have

shortened to about five days and his normal

(mild hypomanic?) days have lengthened to

two weeks. He easily wins prizes and is

regular in classes when in hypomania.

Its possible that things I am giving him are

helping him in bipolar or it was a case of

cerebral allergic reaction to marijuana

causing all kinds of behaviors.

I have been testing his cognitive

functions. They are in top quarteil. Lately

I suspect on subjective clinical ground that

his memory for recent events is affected.

This may be due to the anti-depressant he

had to take for long. The psychiatrist had

put him on SSRI for long without effect. He

then changed it to SNRI.

Talking of marijuana: It has two

components: Cannabinoid and (THC)Tetra Hydro-

Cannabenol (spelling?). The Cannabinoid is

20 times more potent anti-oxidant than

ascorbic acid. The Israeli scientists had

isolated it away from the THC in anticipation

of nuclear missile attack by Saddam Hussain

before the Iraq war to protect the Israel

soldiers.

It is the THC that is neuroleptic and

harmful. Imagine what a psychiatric neuro-

leptic can do to a normal person when taken

for long.

Regards.

Ratan.

RATAN;

I noticed your lengthy credentials at the bottom of

your post. If your son was one of your clients, what

would your treatment plan consist of??? Have you

ever seen his test results and consulted with the

psychologists/psychiatrists who performed these,

using your own extensive knowledge and applying it

to your son's case??
