In reply to Alternative approaches that can cause mania?, posted by hundredhugs on March 30, 2004, at 18:19:29
Andrew Stoll M.D. found in his research on omega-3 fatty acids in bipolar disorder that it can very occasionally induce mania.This is more likely to happen in those who take e.g. flaxseed oil rather than fish oil though.Recent work in the Pfeiffer Center in Chicago shows that pyroluric bipolar patients benefit from omega-6 fatty acids rather than omega-3.They also need vit B6 and zinc and can do very well.A urine test for kryptopyrroles can be used to determine who are pyroluric.I routinely do that test and a histamine test on my patients with schizophrenia,bipolar and sometimes depression.See www.omega3.20megsfree.com for more info.
