Interesting article, Odee. Now Google www.http://DoctorYourself.com Go down the left-hand column until you see an article called "Caffeine Allergy" by Ruth Whalen. It might interest you to know her findings as a lab technician who examined the brains of bipolar patients following their deaths.

It can take up to a year to recover from diet indiscretions for bipolar folks who make the effort to change conditions for themselves. Everything you can learn will help you to do that for your long-term care for yourself.

It is helpful to know that the prefrontal cortex (just above the eyes) is the area of the brain that is damaged by caffeine ingestion for those sensitive to it over a long period of its use. Whalen's article also explains some other phenomena in bipolar illness that may be induced by caffeine ingestion in those sensitive to it.

Then, there's also the newest book out by Dr. David Williams on the damage which
21st century wheat can cause to the brain.

You need to look at many things when you begin to offer explanations of what's going on in the brain tissues of bipolar patients.

Some of the newest work confirms what other doctors have asserted in years past regarding remission or recovery in this illness.

You're intelligent and could absorb these things well.

Be good to yourself, please.
