There isn't a foul enough word in the English language to describe Stephen Barrett the Quack.

I'm sorry to hear that the pharmaceuticals are cutting into your rights to take supplements over there. They never stop trying, all over the world. A few years ago this almost happened here in Europe. And the American FDA make an attempt now and then to have supplements regulated as drugs.

I talk on a SAD forum because that's the first forum I ever joined, and I thought for a while that SAD was my problem. I maintain topics there about antidepressants and nutrition. Most people there think I am an obsessive crank. The ones who say this are often the ones who are always complaining about how ill they feel, and popping pills. Now and then someone says that the info I've posted is really helpful, and that makes it all worthwhile.

It all makes so much sense to me now, but just a little over a year ago I was just like everybody else, I thought that if you ate a good diet (I didn't even know what that was) you'd get all the nutrition you needed, and I trusted my doctor and my dentist. Hah.

I think I'm fonder of vitamin C than any other supplement. It was the first one I started learning about, because I was recommended a book by Linus Pauling. It's about as close to magic as anything gets I think <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
