I feel for anyone who has this condition, as ive seen how it affects my son - he says his isnt hearing voices as such but intrusive thoughts - i dont know if its the same thing..............

As far as suppliments go, I have an ex who tried to go all natural. It was a total disaster....and was very hard on me. That doesn't mean it won't work for you....but she tried this program called True Hope and it was just horrid. I have heard that fish oil is good too. And Amino acids.....you might want to give those a try.

The Dr Hoffer method so it says has a 90 percent success rate - i do know from the research ive done that anxiety problems which often lead to other more serious mental conditions are usually caused through one or more traumatic experience and/or bad nutrition which can affect the part of the brain called the Amigdala, which affects mood and the level of stress a person experiences - which can get fixed higher and higher when under constant pressure of some kind. So as its been proved the brain is malleable - then i would think that level can also be lowered..............that is my hope for my son and for anyone with these awful mental conditions which i know also affect physical health. My son is over 6 feet tall and ll2 llbs! yet he eats 3 big meals a day and snacks also. I am giving him vitamins and minerals - hes never been heavy but i think its the nervous energy hes using which is keeping him so thin.
