Hi, All.
A novel approach:There is a new and growing field in neuroscience that should yield very real progress in research and applied therapeutics in mental illness and degenerative brain diseases.
Taking a picture of your brain will yield a diagnosis and predict the course of illness, and a way to choose which specific treatments will work for you. This includes drugs and brain tissue stimulation (electric and magnetic).

Apparently this doesn't work if you're in Europe.

You can use a VPN to pretend like you are in the USA:) Virtual Private Network. There are different apps that do this job. I will take a look tomorrow.

Well the revolution is pending. Maybe. It doesn't translate to treatments yet. I think it is awesome that they are researching and as I am still quite young, I am sure I will enjoy some fruits of that research. Sure hope that they research not just manmade pharmaceuticals. There may be a solution to many mental health problems with something body native. Mental illness is not the result of a lack of manmade chemicals.

ALLOPATHY
is the introduction of large amounts of a substances that produce effects opposite to. or antagonistic to actions opposite are to the body in amounts that produce actions that antagonize or are opposite to the pathology being treated.HOMEOPATHY
is the use of micro amounts of a substances that, in larger amounts, produces the pathology being treated. In other words, one receives micro amounts of the same substance that makes them sick.HOLISTIC
Treatment of an ailment that takes the whole body into consideration when understanding and treating pathologies.
--------------------------------------------------
NATUROPATHY is NOT the same as HOLISTIC medicine.
- Naturopaths use substances that occur only in nature.
- HOLISTIC Medicine introduces curative substances, whether they occur naturally or are synthesized chemically in a factory. For example, Prozac can be used, but with attention paid to the context within which the pathology occurs. That context might call for combining the Prozac tryptophan rich foods like dairy or turkey. Perhaps highly concentrated synthesized sources of tryptophan can be used to augment the secial diet, or even obviate its necessity.

I always try to find doctors that utilize both naturopathic and traditional treatments. They are hard to find as I dont want somebody using natural treatments while rejecting all evidence and I also dont want somebody who thinks all naturopathy is quackery. That type of doctor I am looking for is a rare breed.
