<div>THere are several pre existing well studied groups that have been doing this for a long time, the main one is the orthomolecular group begun by Hoffer and Osmond in Saskatchewan Canada in the 60s. I actually was asked in the early 70s by the American Schizophrenia foundation to run some half way houses for many seriously mentally ill people who had been institutionalized and upon being on the Orthomolecular regimen, they recovered and were so dependent on their institutional roles that they simply had a great deal of difficulty adjusting outside. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Recently, a group calling themselves true hope www.truehope,com began some research about 10 years ago which actually started when a farmer noted that pigs aggressive pen behavior could be calmed if he increased mineral count in their feed. He went on from there to treat his family and formed a team which has now a few published studies in journals and continues to expand. The product is called EMPowerPlus. Also using fish oils and a number of other supplenments.<div>
I have stated over and over the incredible recovery of so many children on the serious end of the Autism Spectrum through detoxing and cleaning up their guts with various supplements and probiotics then putting back the minerals and vitamins and amino acids they have not been able to digest. It, s all out there. Just that the pharmaceuticals have a death hold on everyone. Over and over, I have also stressed the enormous healing that takes place through proper breathing and even meditation as demonstrated on YOutube and in videos like Doing TIme, Doing Vipassana. Richard Brown, MD of E-Sam fame recently came out with an article in a trade paper about his use of reduced breathing helping seriously depressed clients. </div>

A colleague of mine has recently completed a research trial looking at<br>
micronutrients and ADHD. Has attracted a lot of attention. More<br>
