In reply to Deplin is a drug, not a nutritional supplement., posted by SLS on January 13, 2008, at 8:05:29
I suspect a majority of folks with mood disorders have some sort of malfunction associated with it in the folate-homocysteine pathways. Folate may not be able to convert properly all the way through its stages and may convert to other substances that are of no good or maybe even of harm. Whether it be a genetic defect, a part of the overall disease, or a defect caused by undiagnosed lead or mercury burden, Deplin sounds like a good way to bypass any malfunctions.
It is cheap enough probably everyone should have some onhand to try with each med trial. I mean, there are lots of things in the health food store that cost more than this stuff. Though it is early, it appears that even people without defects in folate metabolism get benefits from Deplin.
Worth a try in my vote.
Zyprexa upregulates over 20 genes and downregulates over 30 genes. Some of those genes are involved in mood disorders, some are involved in metabolic processes. What I am saying is that regardless of the whole dopamine-serotonin theory thing, there are tons of other things going on with all the drugs we take. Deplin probably has some mysterious mechanisms too in my opinion.
