> Did she recommend any treatments? You could take a look at the PB Alternative board and look at the supplements that are suggested to help stabilized cell membranes like fish oil (Omega-3), phosphatidylserine, and inositol.>
Actually, I have used Omega 3 in the past with some slight noticable benefits. The best benefits i've had of alternative non-prescription drugs are: amines and proteins, amino acids. Which surprisingly make me think they are helping other chemicals metabolise quicker and easier (thus better chemical conduction in the cell membranes thru these fast metabilising proteins...most of which aid the mental health and brain directly, as well as fueling the energy mitochondria of the cells). The best combined proteins i've found are thru muscle powders, and supplemental meal replacement shake mixes that bodybuilders use. I have used and found good results with: "Masashi-LP1 (Loaded Protein 1), also "Weider-Mega Mass 2000". One underlining ingredient i have found to be helpful is (nicotinamide, niacinamide) that is used in both these powder forms of supplements. It is just something I have found to be helpful within these amino rich supplements. Looking into it it makes sense with what i'm saying also. Nicotinomide is used primarily as to "aid the release of energy from consumed foods and promotes DNA biosynthesis" (the most complex process in a cell) *which then releases information to control cells various activities. Also co-enzyme Q-10(toxin binder/anti-oxidant) is good , i have used that too. As well as Hawthorn (improves blood flow to the head, heart etc).
Perhaps my cell membrane isn't as porous as a normal subject?? Who knows, will they ever have a test for this and if so what is normal anyway, since porous cell membranes act both ways often. And is this just another possibility thru my ever active mind.
One thing that leads me more to think they are clinicly helpful is that why do doctors still to this day prescribe lithium for people with bipolar? Well lithium is used as a conducive in the cell, and being metallic it is able to penetrate and conduct better (i believe) in cells and membranes/synapses (I'm not a doctor, but 1+1=2 in any language).
