I know it's a small detail but doesn't Jensen actually advocate 5 day trials, dropping to 3-4 days if circumstances (ie desperate patient) dictate so?
I think Jensen's approach is a nice idea but could be a little generalised. 5 days? Promazine & Sulpiride take full effect with me in around 3 hours. My brief remission on Paxil took 17 days to appear. When I tapered into Prozac I had almost full remission in 2 days (didn't last)
In the guy's defence he does make it clear that should his methods fail to yield a robust result quickly, he will revert to standard psychiatry.
If the method is successful (& yes we only have Jensen's word that it is), I personally couldn't give 2 monkeys about the validity of the theory behind it!
I guess we'd all be more convinced were a long-standing Babbler to meet the man & achieve cast-iron success. Any volunteers?! ;-)
Ta,
Jah.
