They also describe the need to stay on these nutrient protocols for the long-term.<br /><br />Some of this is hard for me to embrace (being so anti-psychiatry, and anti-conventional model)... But at the end of the day, Orthomolecular Medicine has one thing that the conventional model does NOT OFFER - Success.<br /><br />The Open Dialogue approach in Lapland, Finland is producing an 85% success rate.<br />Good news.<br /><br />However, Orthomolecular Medicine (first-episode psychosis) produces a 90% success rate... slightly better. If we could only find a way to offer both, in one program, world-wide... Wow!<br /><br />Call me crazy, but I say, "Go with the methods that have a track-record."<br /><br />A final interview with Abram Hoffer, MD, PhD (with Andrew Saul, PhD) - <br /><br />http://www.townsendletter.com/Nov2009/hoffer1109.html<br /><br />Merry Christmas to you and yours!<br /><br />DuaneDiscover and Recoverhttp://discoverandrecover.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2894514913516471357.post-86505701806608630692011-12-21T13:13:00.370-08:002011-12-21T13:13:00.370-08:00Rossa,

They also feel the need to help their patient. And the helper has just a few methods to cope with the horror. Humour and hate are two methods to separate oneself from the other.Mark p.s.2https://www.blogger.com/profile/10529811159862096782noreply@blogger.com
