annie -- Yes, yes, yes! Absolutely. People want certainty and they want things to be black and white. And when you’re talking about mind, body, and spirit, things are all interwoven, interacting, feeding back. And we are talking about a complex health situation with many contributing factors. Concomitently, the solution is usually complex, multi-faceted, and unique, as you say.

And, we always have to watch out for that tendency to protect our own sacred cows.

Re your gluten situation, Maie Liiv, a psychiatric iatrogenesis survivor, who has a website -- http://www.maieliiv.com/

sent me this –

and wrote -- “Christine Harrington says the brain's response to wheat is worse when the blood brain barrier has been compromised - [by] drugs – [or] ECT…”

and I have seen people in psych med w/d go through a period of gluten sensitivity and then emerge from it, so you may find that’s true for you.
