Ah, but there is published research on the non-conventional treatments. The fact that some of you are not aware of it doesn't make it untrue. Just leaves you selectively unaware. And even Mercola provides citations.

I don't know why some treatments work for some and not for others. But there is a lot of evidence that approaches beyond the confines of Rx work. Yep, evidence in peer-reviewed articles. People really tend to under estimate the power of food, environment, mind. But, there are probably people out there who are still arguing the world is indeed flat . . .

Childhood trauma is by far the most significant cause of adult mental health issues. Take the traumatized reptilian brain of ours, then throw in crap nutrition or hypothyroid or whatever into the mix and complete healing from one modality is going to be unrealistic. We are not a closed system. It takes a lot of resources (mental, time, $, trial-and-error) to find relief, so many are willing to stop there.

Which brings me to tell you about EMDR - Eye Movement Densensitation and Reprocessing. Amazing book entitled "The Body Keeps the Score" by Bessel van der Kolk. I can't wait to explore this more. I posted quite a bit of info about it on another thread - way too much for me to tap-tap-tap away on my smart phone, but if anyone has any interest I'd be more than happy to provide the info when I'm at my laptop.
