I read a book by psychiatrist, can't remember it's name now... he was saying, I explained the serotonin reuptake process to one of my patients, then the patient said... great, but how do you know that this applies to me personally?... he said I couldn't respond. Also, there are many antidepressants... I don't think there is a solid ground for why they describe a specific one for certain patients. Check these too: htt…

On the topic of antidepressants, there is some mileage in starting at the beginning, namely with manganese. https://www.nature.com/articles/193377a0 What makes it difficult for some experts, is that they perhaps dont know there can be 1000-2000 mitochondria per liver cell, and Mn Super Oxide Dismutase increases with manganese intake and beta alanine, which is required for MnSOD. Point being are symptoms of depression…

Thanks for sharing this... I will dig into it later.

Did you or someone you know try to take a manganese supplement and see the effects?

And Americans go to Mexico for healthcare, I'm not aware of the reverse, I guess that means Mexico has the best healthcare in the world.

I actually drove someone across the border from Mexico to the U.S. for healthcare (voluntourism injury). The reason to go to Mexico is price. The reason to go to the U.S. is quality. How about for Canada vs the U.S.? If you're a Canadian citizen, Canadian healthcare is cheaper, but generally has much longer wait times. U.S. healthcare is much more expensive, but much more quickly available, and specialty care (e.g.,…

Then there's this - When a woman went to the hospital for help with suicidal ideation, a clinician told her the waits to see a psychiatrist are long, "the system is broken", and "have you considered [assisted suicide?]...MAID would be a more “comfortable” process during which she would be given sedating benzodiazepines among other drugs."

She will be able to see a psychiatrist "when one is available in the fall."

Not OP, but if you have nothing to contribute but vitriol, maybe do not comment, and move on.

I have nothing but vitriol to comment towards people that perform copy pastas of anti-science, anti-intellectual, conspiracy theorist propaganda. Similarly, I will certainly and absolutely NOT stop calling out conspiracy theorist propaganda just because conspiracy nuts don’t like it. If you don’t like being called out for posting conspiracy propaganda, don’t post it, and don’t defend it.

>copy pastas of anti-science, anti-intellectual, conspiracy theorist propaganda

You went ham on someone sharing a comment about their son's dentists. Maybe touch grass and stop being so angry, eh? The only conspiracy 'nut' here is you, who is inserting themselves by going "look at me, look at me" at someone sharing their experience.

>I will certainly and absolutely NOT stop calling out

I feel sorry for everyone in your family who has to suffer this.

> my gums are now close to perfect. Do you mean that your gums were shrinked and then growed back to their full height? Or that they were sore and not anymore?

No unfortunately gums don't grow back very much. What I mean is that my gums don't bleed any more because the tartar no longer inflames the gum tissues.

I thought so. Thanks. Fuck modernity. I'm 18 and my gums have already shrinked too much. I cut all mouthbreathing and sugar recently and flossing & brushing since some time, but no one warned me gum shrinkage was irreversible and this fast.
