I wonder if I'm too presumptuous in thinking she's still heavily using when she gets the day wrong, the date wrong and the time wrong.

She can bother someone else.

Either that or she's proper fried already with no hope of return. Even the personification of Stoner Sloth I met whilst in Coffs wasn't that braindead lol

Hey Terry, just wondering on your experience or research into megadose vitamin therapy. I know of a few studies where massive doses of Niacin was used to treat manic depression and schizophrenia but not sure what the precursor were. I remember vaguely that individuals with a predisposition to the illnesses were prone to the full disorder after the introduction of chemicals typically found in illicit drugs during their teens and early 20s. From memory the results from mega-dose vitamin therapy was encouraging.

Hit The Nail On The Head:- Yes since '78 some of us nutritional psychologists had been trained to administer the Hoffer Osmond Diagnostic Test (Uni Saskatchewan) to determine if through 5 clinical scales, patients needed to support Serotonin, Noradrenalin and Dopamine with nutrients such as the Niacin (B3) you mentioned. Other precursors included Tryptophan and Tyrosine (which can only be efficacious taken on an empty stomach).

Back then the strongest Vit B3 Complex was Nizoid followed by Hivita Stress. They contained 50mg Niacin along with 350mg Niacinamide (forms of B3) in a complex of other B vitamins etc.

Because too many women would get a hot flush with so much Niacin, the reformulated and current Hivita Stress has 25mg Niacin with 350mg Niacinamide.

These B3 complexes help the Serotonin function better.

The Hoffer Osmond Diagnostic Test has been approved for court use in Australia and on occasions our reports have incorporated both the HOD and the MMPI (Uni Minnesota).

With ancestry history woven in, our reports could be used to excuse an accused of what's known as, "uncharacteristic behaviour" or "behaviour with biochemical and genetic linking" so long as the accused was not aware of such a condition before.

So yes in the final analysis there are people out there today who are functioning at high levels of self awareness and self control whilst remaining on mega doses of vitamin B3 and 5HTP/Tryptophan and are now off SSRI SNRI and Dopamine blockers or have reduced the drug doses right down.

Good isn't it?

They can still backslide with...

* high glucose

* illicit drugs

* general anaesthetics

* paints/thinners/varnishes

* alcohol

XGTRX was the predisposition only due to drug use at a young age? Or were there cases from a genetic or emotional issues?

Don't quote me on this as it was a long time ago, 90s I think, that I saw it in a medical journal. But I remember there was a cross section of patients from those that were adolescent with certain behavioral patterns to middle aged that had the full disorder ranging from genetically acquired to substance abuse induced. At the time I researched further and found various successful megadose therapies that were being trialed.

The real eye opener at the time was that massive doses, for example 12 000 mg of niacin per day were being administer with no sight effects including those that were seen at the time from conventional treatment, except flushes. Furthermore, even with the withdrawal of conventional phama treatment there was a restoration of normal behavior in most of the patients.

Terry could more accurately cite the study I am sure.

Dr Ian Brighthope (Victoria) had quite a few patients with HIV in the early 80s.

He used to megadose them with Vit C and Bioflavonoids.

Whilst lecturing with him in August '86 at Melbourne Uni, he said he'd only lost one.

I hope you point her in the direction of somewhere who will help her

But at 11.35 last night, her mother (who came along as well at the first session), texted, "Love you wat u doing".

This is getting weirder by the hour because I read on waking up, another text, "Hey".

I'm not inclined to reply at all now.

I'm not meaning any disrespect, and i'm not trying to be "That" guy, but isn't everything between you and her meant to be strictly confidential? That said, I do hope she ends up somewhere she can get the help she needs, and everything works out.

Interesting point. I think there's little harm here, but yeah you'd be correct I'd think.

I reckon a more anonymous forum would be better, where nobody knows who terry is. I'd invite him over to the forum I take part in as they have many sections for just these purposes, however I don't think he'd like the other members or environment in general haha

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
