Guest guest Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 What on God's green Earth are they doing at our medical schools. Never mind, I already know. I have a question. ALthough well intentioned, have you considered seeing someone else? Perhaps an orthomolecular psychiatrist? www.orthomed.org > > Well, we're back from another trip to the psychiatrist.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 I'd love for him to see an orthomolecular psychiatrist..Is there such a thing? I took a brief look at the site you gave but didn't see one. I'll have to go back and look again. has actually been to the Health Research Institute/Carl Pfeiffer Treatment Center in Naperville...He was about 12 or 13 and was sick of taking ritalin and other stimulant meds for the diagnosis of ADHD he'd been given. And we were sick of giving it to him..never did him much good anyway. He responded well to nutrients and vitamins from Pfieffer..wish he never would have quit taking them. I recently contacted the International Schizophrenia Foundation and requested information regarding anyone in my area knowledgable in an orthomolecular approach to mental health. They were most prompt in getting their info to me..but it was only one name of one doctor in the New Orleans area. I did call him and spoke with him at great length. He's retired now, I think he was like 85 years old..really interesting guy, but not alot of help. If you know of anyone, especially in my area (south Louisiana or anywhere nearby) please let me know.
