I agree with what everyone has said. An algorithm is needed. I actually don't see that as being very difficult.

What bothers me is that so many of us become entrenched in the small world of psychiatry, which really has nothing to do with curing any disease that is causing mental symptoms, while ignoring the bigger world of healing. We ignore it because to us it is baffling, unknown, and out of our comfort zone.

But for that matter, every psych treatment is baffling and experimental. It's just that we are comfortable with it because it is a small relatively manageable spectrum when compared to the vast world of supplements and plants. For sure, a small minority of people experience miracles in psychiatry. I see it as kind of like Las Vegas. A few big jackpot winners and all the masses think it will happen to them if they just stay at the table long enough.

I've seen many people here attest to long devotion to fads, herbs, supplements, and such, with dismal results. I could say the same thing for myself. I have a backpack completely overflowing with bottles of things I've bought and tried over the years. Every kind of herb and oddball supplement you can think of.

But B12 patch isn't one of them. A new one! Cool.

I guess what I am saying is, no matter I have a hundred failures behind me, I'm always game to keep trying. Never give in to the enemy.

As this lady, and so many others out there, have proved that luck can happen. The problem is, luck will never happen without persistence, experimentation, and venturing outside the comfort zone.

The sad part is, the highly educated people we call doctors, the ones we trust our lives to, really don't know a whole lot more than we do. Well, they do, just not in the things that actually bring results. Broken bones and such, easy. But when we get into things like depression and mystery diseases, forget it, they have as many questions as we do.

I wish in this one particular example it had been the doctor that said B12 was low normal, let's see what happens if we get it to high normal. But it wasn't. The patient made the decision by herself at home. That part is kind of sweet and sour. Sweet because of the happy ending, sour because the ones being paid enormous dollars for that result were impotent when the answer was staring at them in face the whole time.

Now, her disease, whatever it is, is not cured. But, whatever the disease is doing to mess up her biology, she has built a bridge over that roadblock. She and the disease can now co-exist without symptoms.
