Dear Alfred,

I am cleaning my mailbox and find this old message. It
is very interesting to me, as I meet many bi-polar
patients in my work as a psychiatrist. Specially the
following sentence:

<While I've had good success preventing and
short-circuiting psychotic and co-occuring
psychotic/manic (someone who had both) episodes by
running energy into the adrenal glands, I have no idea
whether that would be appropriate for bipolar
disorder.>

If you really can "short-circuit psychotic-manic
episodes", then by definition the process is effective
for at least the manic phase of bipolar disorder. I
would very much apprecate if you would tell how you
"run energy into the adrenal glands".
