Tomorrow I'm supposed to begin therapy for a woman who came a couple of weeks ago, after she'd started hearing a man's voice.

I refused therapy then because after testing, she demonstrated a severe shortage of serotonin, dopamine and noradrenalin.

It all happened after she'd shot up with a bad batch of smack in December. The voice she's been hearing is that of her dealer. Now, the dealer is accusing her of following him. Apparently he shoots up too.

She takes her psychotropic drugs ad hoc. The precursors that she received from me are being taken ad hoc as well (says an informant).

Looks like she'll be refused therapy again! The voices win.

Literally the only thing I took away from that was that you refuse to help someone who doesn't submit to a chemical regimen first.

Please tell me there was more of a point Terry. I may be a difficult prick here, but I'm not really sure what your message is.

And the situation gets worse...

Last month I couldn't intervene with someone wanting to get off speed.

His doctor said he'd been born with tremors and that his Dad had used acid and his Mom, hydroponic weed.

Genes.

Good time for me to retire, but...

Therapy won't work until brain neurotransmitters are up to speed.
I don't prescribe drugs.

I prescribe (from test results), precursor nutrients that feed the neurotransmitters.

For example...

* Tryptophan + Vit B3 > 5HTP > Serotonin

* Phenylalanine > Phenylethylamine

* Tyrosine > Noradrenalin and Dopamine

* Taurine + Glutamine + B12 > GABA

Ok terry, I apologise for jumping the gun on that one. I don't quite agree on your theories though I won't dent their potential, I just don't quite agree with the insistent direct correlation between depression and neurotransmitter imbalances. I know from unfortunate experience that temporary depletion can cause a drop in mood, however I don't think this is necessarily the underlying issue for everyone.

For what it's worth though, have a look into supplementation of 5-HTP in conjunction with EGCG - a compound in green tea that apparently inhibits an enzyme responsible for metabolism of 5-HTP, allowing it more chance to successfully cross the BBB for possible conversion to serotonin.

I mainly check on ancestry lines of brain neurotransmitter deficiencies.

I presented a paper on this at Melb. Uni. in August '86.

The alarming revelation that has surfaced in the past 18 yrs though is the evidence of neurotransmitter deficiencies in people without ancestry aberrations except only for the Mum and/or Dad who'd used certain illicit drugs.

Alcohol usage also exacerbates the problems even if it doesn't necessarily cause them.

Bear in mind things like lead poisoning and potential genetic damage that may have caused (on top of the already evident aggressive behavioural disorders). Things our parents were exposed to besides their choice use of recreational drugs, like Glyphosate (Monsanto's Roundup), BPA and any other xenoestrogens/similar hormonal 'analogues' be they synthetic or plant derived (not likely the latter).

I must stress on your own point of certain illicit drugs. I disagree with the way you place any and all recreational/illicit drugs into the same harmful group as though LSD is somehow in any way as bad as a-PVP (Flakka). I feel that those views are primarily based on anecdotal experience, which I understand carries a lot of weight behind it for many individuals myself included, which is why I offer anecdotal experience to the contrary in that my parents both used recreational drugs prior to my conception - primarily cannabis (not whilst pregnant, of course), with the occasional psychedelic. I'm fine. My partner's parents were actually very very much the same. She's fine.

So I know that's not of any value so far as conclusive evidence goes, but I'm sure you understand it influences my beliefs on that subject.


Anyway, ultimately I'm glad to have learned your actual approach to these issues. Whilst I still may not agree with your deductions and underlying causes, it's good to see you don't just throw psychotropics at patients until they have no emotions anyway. IMO, the rampant prescription of SSRI/SNRI's is abhorrent.

Troy your comment "that my parents both used recreational drugs prior to my conception - primarily cannabis (not whilst pregnant, of course)," is interesting. Common sense as you allude to here, would suggest to not consume drugs whilst pregnant. However throughout my career I have seen approximately 100 children who have been negatively affected by their parents consuming drugs whilst pregnant...very sad.

Honestly not sure what you're saying (with regards to what I said)....but yes I can only imagine you'd have exposure to the results of drug use whilst pregnant through your work :(

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
