Larry, somebody posted this info. regarding OCD (which I have, along w/ depression)......my question regards the remark in the 2nd paragraph, in which it states that "Vitamin-B12 is NOT indicated for the treatment since......".....BUT Pfeiffer DOES have me on B-12.....what do you make of that? THANKS!!!!!!!
"With respect to a child with the rituals, a more direct approach would be to use methionine, calcium, magnesium, trimethylglycine, and possibly SAMe... along with avoidance of folic acid supplements.Methylation therapy is a direct and effective way to treat OCD tendencies, and we regard Inositol as a valuable adjunct therapy. Note that use of folic acid and B-12 is NOT indicated since the methyl-trapping effect greatly exceeds the benefits of enhanced conversion of homocystine to methionine."
