Three major periods of OCD, four major depressions, three of the major depressions requiring electroconvulsive treatments (ECT), ten to fifteen major “burn-outs” (at least three to six weeks long), two total hallucinatory to full-psychosis events, periods of mania, delusions, paranoia, obvious stress and anxiety, two lock downs, two suicide attempts (one near death), six major hospitalizations (one week or longer), five emergency room visits, thousands of doctor visits, twenty direct and over one hundred indirect doctors, almost twenty different medications, one sleep research facility experience, and more.

Because of the medication-induced side effects and sequelae (direct and indirect) mentioned and the original OCD, I believe I have insight into the following disorders: OCD, cyclothymic disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety disorder, anorexia nervosa, bulimia, body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), depression, major depression and dysthymia.

My education in physiology and psychology, understanding of exercise physiology, nutrition, athletic training and broad coursework from medical school including coursework in pharmacology, anatomy-cadaver dissection, pathology, biochemistry, quantitative analysis, nutrition, physiology, neuroanatomy, embryology, genetics, endocrinology, microbiology, physical exam-history, microbiology, nutrition, molecular cell biology, all enabled me to analyze, elucidate, and create my theory, carry it out, succeed, document and pen this memoir-case history.

My use of InfinitE / IQ, a combination of Community (removal of isolation, and a return to a social species), Stimulation (mental and physical exercise; stress in the right dose to invoke adaptations) and Clean Fuel (food and supplements of the right type and quantity) all designed to maximize biochemical and neurochemical balance, hormonal control and reach peak efficiency and life performance. That cure again has been close to a decade now.
