No, Christina, I'm not concerned about your questions at all. You're an intelligent person, and I've never objected except on that one occasion when it came to talking about cognition in episodes, and I blamed that on myself, finally, for not giving all the details from "Manic-Depression" that clearly defined the meaning of cognition. So much for that.

Now, I ended my treatment of the subject on lemons, fish oils, and wheat, along with
sugar sensitivity because it was such a long treatise that I felt it ought to be an
ending to the subject I've harped on for so long.

About "all or nothing", "black or white" judgments. Dr. David Williams in his work "Grain Belly"
explains that, as more research appears on gluten and exorphins released into the blood
stream, the "uglier" the picture becomes, is the thought I had in mind when I said that
one should be careful about judgments on these subjects because much more research
is called for on all of it, in his view--and as I see it, too, having experienced some of
the things he describes in his work.

Several weeks ago I wrote a thread on "Why the 'Lemon Thing' Works for Some of Us"
or something similar. I felt that would end the discussion and I wouldn't need to
continue to talk about it, but I posted it on the Depression Forum and I doubt that
many thought much about how the use of a drink for release of acidic conditions of
fluids and tissues could be helpful. Nevertheless, I've had a few messages that it is working for some.

I hope you won't stop your questions and discussions; that's what this is all about, in
my view. It's all in an effort to help.

Anika, I hope you're feeling strong now that you're home, and I hope you'll be careful!

Nordic has high standards, too, and it starts at about $40. for a month's supply.
The taste is delightful to me, and it really does its job on calming the brain. It
does boost my blood pressure though, and I wondered what was causing that until
I dropped it for a few days in an effort to learn which of the supplements I take was
doing that. The solution was to cut back to 3 times per week rather than daily use.

I haven't looked recently at the certification in purity regarding Nordic North Sea products, but I feel it's comparable to the one you're using. Maybe I should check into it a little further. I think, generally speaking, we usually get the quality we pay for, don't you? Not
always, certainly, but often it seems that way to me. For example, I've always found
prenatal multiple vitamins a good source for vitamin supplements, though they're
expensive, they are good--at least the ones I've tried are. At my age I feel a little
awkward about picking up a bottle and checking the ingredients, but so far no snickers
at the pay out counter when I put them among my items for purchase.

Allergies giving me a fit with grass cutting going on all around. Hope you all are not
sensitive to anything!
