A Powerful Natural Remedy for Bipolar Disorder

These news that nutritional minerals provide a powerful natural remedy for bipolar disorder is proof of all I've been saying in these pages. Featured on Canada's national CTV news on Oct. 5. 2000, this news item dramatically confirms the supreme effectiveness of the daily seafood dietary routine outlined here - and gives supreme hope to almost all sufferers from bipolar disorder, as well as the immediate simple, totally natural, and completely side effect-free means to begin the road towards a normal life.This news item told about a father with two children who had bipolar disorder, in a family where bipolar disorder is common, and his frustration with the lack of any improvement despite their long term prescription of lithium therapy. In desperation he tried a "vitamin and mineral" supplement long given to pigs for a similar condition. And the improvement was quick and dramatic.So dramatic that investigators at the University of Calgary (Alberta, Canada) did a preliminary study with 10 people suffering from bipolar disorder - and achieved the same quick and dramatic improvement. (Please note: I am recounting this news story from memory, since I could not find it in CTV's news archive on their web site, and my memory might not be entirely accurate concerning all the details). Original Abstract:Successful Treatment of Bipolar Disorder With a Nutritional Supplement: Ten Cases Recent research on various nutrients has suggested that some mental illness might be ameliorated by supplementation. Much work has focused on essential fatty acids (1), although various minerals are also being studied (especially zinc). We are evaluating a broad-based nutritional supplement that contains primarily trace minerals, plus vitamins and amino acids.Recent work has suggested that crops grown with western farming methods contain fewer of these essential nutrients than they did in years past (2) . Although we have been examining the effects of the supplement on a variety of psychiatric symptoms in both children and adults, it appears to be particularly promising for bipolar disorder in adults.We will present an open case series of 10 male patients aged 20-46 years who thus far have taken the supplement for 1.5 - 6 months. Four were diagnosed with Bipolar I, four with Bipolar II, one with Bipolar Mixed, and one with Bipolar-NOS. In most cases, the supplement has entirely replaced psychoactive medications and the patients have remained well. Side effects (e.g., nausea) have been rare, minor, and transitory. In all cases, the patients have been evaluated periodically with the Hamilton-Depression Scale, the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale, and the Young Mania Rating Scale.The change in mean scores for each scale from study entry to the time of the last visit are as follows: Ham-D (20.4 to 8.2), BPRS (37.3 to 9.9), YMRS (16.8 to 6.1), and OQ (75.2 to 48.2).A randomized, placebo-controlled trial of the supplement for Bipolar I has been funded and began in July 2000.Authors: Bonnie J.

British Food Journal 1997; 99:207-211Also see U of Calgary Press Release - http://www.ucalgary.ca/unicomm/NewsReleases/bipolar.htmThis news item confirms my discovery, as described in these pages (see SUPREME HEALTH), in several important ways. First of all, it confirms that the daily seafood dietary routine as described in these pagee works, and works wonderfully well - and that more than anything, the "trace minerals" (or trace elements) are the therapeutic factor.That the vitamins in the supplement are not the therapeutic factor follows from the fact that no measure of vitamin supplementation has ever shown to have any effect on bipolar disorder. This leaves the "trace minerals" or trace elements in this supplement.Further confirmation is provided by the presence of a very similar condition in pigs, since they too are fed on the severely trace element deficient grains and/or potatoes as produced by our modern agriculture - and by the fact that this condition in pigs has long been remedied with the trace elements (or "mineral") in this supplement. It must be mentioned here that lithium definitely plays an important role in the therapy of bipolar disorder - but it cannot do it alone! In fact, and especially if large doses are given, alone it can do more harm than good. The fact is that all of the trace elements work in conjunction, and most of them are useless, and even dangerous, when given in isolation. Calcium therapy, for example, does not work without its indispensable complement of magnesium.Consequently, a daily helping of seafood works far better, is far safer, and has nil side-effects - than any product containing only some trace elements (trace minerals).A note to livestock farmers: For the same reasons, incorporating an ocean-derived component - such as kelp, fish or seaweed meal - in your livestock fodder will cure and prevent this and many other diseases. And all the "side effects" are beautiful; they substantially, and often dramatically, improve the whole system!Worth mentioning here as well is the fact that none of the participants really know why this supplement works. They just know that it does, but that there is a massive trace element deficiency in all of our daily food, as well as in the fodder for the pigs is now, at least, beginning to dawn on the medical establishment. Here though, in these pages, is the whole story; the causes, the cures, and all the whys and wherefores of it all.

Do you think if Niacinamide be taken after drinking lot of water on empty stomach, then the stomach acids will have dissolved and the vitamin saved from the attack of stomach acids?

Basic problem I am trying to address is how to get Niacinamide (B-3) for schizophrenic patients.

Please comment

Thanks.

Hi Dr. R.Singh: Why do you think Stomach acid attacks and destroys Niacin? We get that straight and I might be able to help? What dosages are you giving and when? Before, after, or during meals. I've heard large doses of C are necessary in taking B-3. What have you read and heard on this? What exactly are you doing? You seem to have a very diverse practice that covers lots of areas of the human condition. What type doctor are you?

Dear Walt,

basically I am a clinical psychologist. Recently I got into orthomolecular psychiatry.

I read in a newsletter reporting of Hoffer's and others' research in which it was written that B-3 gets destroyed by stomach acids, therefore you need to give 3 gms of it to be effective in schz.. The previous studies trying less dose failed to give results because of this reason. Studies using less dose of Niacinamide worked when it was in slow release form of two or three hours or was suspended in oil medium to protect it from acid attacks.

 

Now, if you think B-3 cannot be attacked by stomach acids then I am very very glad to hear this. Howmuch dose do you use? Are you getting good results?

 

Thanks in anticipation.
