Glad you thought it made sense. It made an extreme amount of sense to me.
As to this info that I printed out:
QUOTE: The section on Thought, Mood and Behavior Disorders deserves special attention — not only for the benefits in these disorders themselves, but because of the resultant lessening of tension and stress associated with many other disorders. Soon after XXX’s introduction... reports started to appear in the medical literature of patients’ improvement in mood, concentration, cooperativeness and sense of well-being. By now, extensive published evidence form widely separated sources has established XXX’s usefulness for thought, mood and behavior disorders. (Etc., etc., etc., etc.)
END QUOTEWhere did that come from? And what is it refering to? What is "XXX"?
Well, what is weird that I picked up a book at the library a couple weeks ago. It was part of the Intra-Library Network but not from my library, so that meant that I had to have ordered it via the online catalog (nice feature to have).
When I got home and looked through my stack, there it was. Now I don't remember ordering this book. I had - as of that point - never heard of it. And was only very, very vaguely aware of the XXX substance (and definitely not in the context discussed). Where did it come from? How did it "get ordered"??? It was a big puzzle (or divine intervention)?
Well, I read it and was simply amazed. And what was even more amazing was that when I then found the author's web site I was even more amazed. He just turned 92 and is still going strong. He had severe anxiety for over a year and then moderate-to-strong anxiety for about five years. Thiis was back about 1958ish... And cured himself almost overnight. And then has since been on a crusade to get the benefits of this medicine more fully accepted. Even though he has "zero" financial interests in any sale of that product!
And to top it off, the basic version of the book that I got is available online at his website.
Check it out:

The whole book is available online by connecting with the red links at the bottom of this page...

http://www.remarkablemedicine.com/Clinical/basicmechanisms/summary.htmlAfter reading this, I'd go back to the start page for the book and read the whole thing (it's relatively short overall). And then I'd go to the main web page and spend my time hitting every link to every side link that you can find...
http://www.remarkablemedicine.com/
That's because there's a ton of side information that isn't in the book but is very important.
A couple of my specifically favorite links:

http://www.remarkablemedicine.com/Clinical/index.html

http://www.remarkablemedicine.com/Clinical/clinicaluses/otherdisorders/tinnitus.html
http://www.remarkablemedicine.com/Clinical/clinicaluses/safety/safety.html
After you've read all of that, there's another advantage of this "XXX" that I can address - that even these people don't hype in their data....
