at least I hope this will be thought provoking - the thought may be where is Jack so I can go kill him - but here goes.

I have been episodic for a long time. I always felt that my body and brain chemistry was correcting during my cycle. Because I am very simpleminded I thought that this was a process that I just had to endure and live with. I also felt that there wasn't much I could do about it and that I had to let nature run its course.

My controversial thought - could it be that medications can actually interfere with this process of the body correcting itself and prolong a cycle and even help make someone chronic.

They tell us that our bodies are remarkably strong and the best defense against disease. The best defense against the most horrible disease such as HIV and cancer is our own immune systems.

I am suggesting that it is possible - I do not say it is true.

What do you think?
