Supported by well-documented, careful research, Hoffer continues the work he began with Osmond and Pauling in the 50's -- using vitamins to treat biochemical imbalances associated with a range of mental illness symptoms, mood-swings, substance-abuse cravings and sugar addiction. Why hasn't this work had more recognition? "No money in it," from the perspective of those who put up funds to test patent-able products, the drug industry. No on-going follow up, either, from the point of view of medical professionals who want patients to queue up quarterly for a check! A good place to find alternative thinking to the drug cartel in medicine.
