I don't entirely understand your skepticism: are you saying these "schizophrenics" were misdiagnosed as such? That they should have been diagnosed as a kind of extreme-pellagra-dementia situation?
Because it was just such a mental link that led Dr. Hoffer to use it successfully on "schizophrenics" in his practice.
As someone who went through a hellish menopause, I can assure you that estrogen is another hormone which, unregulated, can be mistaken for mental illness. |
