Hi,
An update on my friend. He is doing well. Mentally he is getting alot better. He now has an art show open, and he completed his first movie. This is a guy who never completed anything in his life due to intense fears and well bi-polar. He hasn't had hallucinations in months, and he is able to recognize and stop some of the behaviour. Many of his impulses have decreased substantially. He does have some setbacks but he's learned to recognize the signs and he takes his remedy again.
He just now got in to see a psychiatrist, he wanted an official diagnosis. They did diagnose him with bi-polar, but said that unless he went on drugs he could no longer use their services. That is frustrating but not unexpected. It is sad that the psychiatric pfrofession has become such a slave to medication, and hence a joke.
It is interesting to watch, because as he evens out mentally (which he finds scary

)and is better able to control his impulses, his physical pain is flaring. We are working through it,but he gets frustrated. We are working closely with his homeopath.
He is a really smart guy, and now that many of his road blocks are gone, he is starting to really excel.
I'm glad people enjoy reading these success stories. I will post periodic updates of his progress.
Eleanor
