Young Living Essential OIL

Both respectfully and curiously,

Do you have bi-polar disorder or do you have an immediate family member who suffers? In my opinion, if either you or a loved one suffers from BPAD, you would know that it is a complex, devastating problem with multiple risk factors, initiators, symptoms, etc. Suggesting that any simple answer exists is incorrect.

The vitamin and diet regimen you recommend may have a benefit to a portion of those who suffer. Regarding the article below, it reads like an agenda engineered backward to create a desired position. The facts may be correct, but the practices and "ethics" being questioned are fairly common across all drug research, especially with many of the research superstars and pundits. The same perspective could be taken on various forms of cancer, endocrine, metabolic...almost any highly-researched, financially lucrative disease state you can't "see" or "feel" as a third party. Again, consider cancer drugs. While the position might look good on paper when a human being isn't directly involved, it has little practical application.

Additionally, the increase in diagnosis and treatment requires patient/caregiver participation. Economic modeling can demonstrate that continued/increased usage of any protocol will likely only take place if there is a demonstrable benefit. In this case, temporary relief/reduction of a common significant healthcare problem. Call it bi-polar or whatever. The continuum of mood disorders is wide and deep so the name of the disease and the solution for an individual is constantly changing based on body chemistry, external factors, etc. Vitamins are just one brick in a very large pyramid. The pyramid is the solution, not the brick.

The observation that common medications used to treat a BPAD patient will render the patient "dumbed-down". In some cases this is correct. However, if one is confronted with the disease as a patient or a caregiver, what relevance does this fact have as anything other than an observation? The sky is blue. If the sky were on fire, it would still be a sky, but many more people would suffer under a sky of fire.

I love vitamins, in fact my livelihood is related to vitamins. Vitamins have s significant and evolving place in mainstream healthcare that I personally believe will empower patients and caregivers regarding some serious diseases. At this point, I have not seen any compelling information nor talked to any BPAD sufferers who can rely on vitamins to relieve either BPAD or an existential crisis.

Respectfully,

M
