Just want to share this reply to one of the comments I received:
I’m hoping not only to expose the dangers of Halcion and other brain-altering drugs, but to also introduce treatments such as homeopathy and orthomolecular medicine (OM).
Margot Kidder, a proponent of OM, first turned me on to this discipline, and then I read Hoffer’s book on treating schizophrenia, and I can report that when my daughter followed a very simple protocol that focused on high levels of niacin (in the form of nadh – or a NO-FLUSH version), along with 1,000 mg of vitamin C, hydroxy B12 w/folic acid drops (recommended by Dr. Vinitsky), taurine, B6, Cal/mag and B-Complex, she improved DRAMATICALLY within a week.
However, this is a treatment that cannot be stopped once the patient starts recovering, and she did stop – and relapsed, seriously, only after about 2 months of not too strict adherence to the dosing.
I really really hope that “mental” institutions, “mental” health providers, and anyone who deals with disorders or deficiencies in the brain will START considering this and/or the homeopathic protocols BEFORE drugging people into states from which they may never recover.
In the case of benzodiazepine withdrawal, or even niacin deficiency (pellagra), a person can appear to be suffering from schizophrenia, for which they are usually given very strong and often destructive drugs, when in the case of benzo withdrawal, this kind of treatment could exacerbate the condition, and in the case of pellagra, the drug treatment would fail to address the problem that is easily cured with niacin.
We have become so much a drug-based society, that we can’t seem to think outside the pillbox any longer.
I appreciate your comments.
