Recommendations
a.. Find and work with a supportive and knowledgeable health
professional who practices nutritional and environmental medicine and can
perform/take a thorough individualised assessment.
b.. Have a range of nutritional tests (including for zinc, iron,
magnesium, folate, B12)
c.. Test for hypoglycemia, anaemia, thyroid imbalances (including
free T4, free T3 & reverse T3), pyroluria, steroid hormone imbalances via
salivary hormone assessment (including progesterone, estrogen, testosterone,
cortisol & DHEA), dysbiosis (imbalance of micro-flora in gastrointestinal
tract), malabsorption (malabsorption may contribute to symptoms in up to 4%
of bipolar disorder cases) & parasites
d.. Get the Organic Acid Test (OAT) done via Great Plains Laboratory
(which tests for yeast, bacteria, nutrient abnormalities, inborn errors of
metabolism, toxin exposure, etc.)
e.. Ensure an optimum intake and balance of omega-3 and omega-6
fatty acids
f.. Have a hair mineral analysis +/- a Toxic Element Clearance
Profile which tests for toxic elements
g.. Identify any food or chemical sensitivities (such as aspartame
and gluten)
h.. Question whether any other medical causes could be contributing
to symptoms (see Health Questionnaire)
i.. If you feel that one or more of the following issues [stress,
depression, unresolved trauma, cravings/addictions, fears, phobias, anger,
pain, insomnia, etc.] is contributing to your health problem in some way,
consider Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). See
www.integrative-clearing.com.au for quality EFT consultations and workshops
in Perth, Western Australia or visit the official EFT website for a
worldwide listing of EFT practitioners.
j.. Minimise exposure to environmental pollutants.

Andrew Stoll M.D. is director of the Psychopharmacology research lab at
Boston's McLean Hospital and assistant professor of Harvard Medical School
Department of Psychiatry. He has published research on the relationship
between omega-3 fatty acids and bipolar disorder. His research found that
high-dose, concentrated omega-3 fatty acids (EPA & DHA) have effective mood
stabilizing and antidepressant effects for many people with bipolar
disorder. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential components of brain cell
membranes, including those of neurotransmitter receptors. Omega-3 fatty
acids also alter signal transduction and electrical activity in brain cells
and control the synthesis of chemicals such as eicosanoids and cytokines,
which may have a direct effect on mood. The following is an overview of a
lecture by Dr. Stoll:

a.. Depression or Bi-polar Disorder
In the case of depression, the patient is having to deal with
warmth-loving parasites. In manic depression with both warmth-loving
parasites and cold-loving parasites. I suspect that the medicines which are
given to manic depressives work by either providing salt and other nutrients
to the parasites which have penetrated the brain area, so they no longer
interfere with the brain (ie, they are no longer hungry).
In manic depression, certain medicines (eg, lithium - prevents mania)
satisfy the cold-loving parasites and the other medicines (eg,
anti-depressants) - satisfy the warmth-loving parasites.
