Thumbs up Andy Grove Mad Again

Thank you for posting those articles.
I think that it will take more than Andy Grove but he is right.
Peer review and the current way of testing drugs has got to change.

I had schizophrenia up to last year. I threw away all the pills.
This year I still have schizophrenia with 80% fewer symptoms.
The few symptoms I have are improving slowly but steadily.
I am not Andy Grove. I am not Mr Dynamic. I'm a little slow.
A bright person, like Grove, might have recognized
what was happening after maybe two days. It took me 3 years. But
after that time I stopped to listen to my therapist and p-doc. Beyond
recommending drugs that were making me physically very sick they were totally in dark.
They were in the dark 30 years ago and, when it comes to a cure, they are still in the dark.

I am not anti meds. They are a life saver for many, many people. I just couldn't afford to keep paying for what I was getting...which was nothing.
