In reply to My P'doc has sold me on natural ADs, posted by L McLean on October 1, 2004, at 22:02:44
> I have been openly crytical of all these scrips that some docs are quick to write. I mean, the side effects usually COULD out-weigh the benefits. The scrips also can cary heavy adictive properties as well!

> However, I recently found a P'doc whom I told about my trial, and error with scrips. He told me that my story was quite common. Many people are helped by scrips, but many simply do not need that stuff. He told me a fact that I was already well aware of. That the FDA forbids docs, or pill manufacturers from stating that vitamins, and supliments solve medical, or mental problems. However, he said "off the record" it is widely known that vitamins, and supliments can cure, or prevent most problems. So, he wrote me out a list of known natural ADs including, but not limited too:
> Fish oil
> Fatty Acids

> He said "(also off the record)" he wanted me to try a rutine of these formulas, and see if they help. Well, It took some time before I started to see any difference, but I Did! I began, after about a month, to feel more alert, and had mental clerity that I had never known before. It was great, and best of all, no nasty effects from starting these formulas! I couldn't beleive it. I mean, (technically) the doc broke the law, but he helped me more than ever before.

> Now, after about a month, I am a firm beleaver. No more scrips for me, and maybe the greatest part is the natural stuff is much MUCH cheaper. I am not trying to say that the natural alternative is right for all, but I would recomend anyone try it (AFTER ASKING YOUR DOC!) Some people require scrips, but some could be helped by simply starting to take natural alternatives. I know I was!!!
What specifically has helped you besides the Omegas?
