This is funny. Now they are looking for a cause/excuse for a condition that is actually not a disease and is simply a catchall phrase for people they can not ensnare any other way. This categorization is simply the result of a group of con artists getting together and formulating the details of the deception. I have personally seen people fall into this category that ranged from a businesslike personality among laid back coworkers to a dyslexic pain pill addict for whom they had no state funded program so they classified him BP so they could make a buck off of him.
The comment that BP is nutritional is very close to the reality. I prefer to call it environmental deficiencies with a sales pitch attached. Mental illness is a falsehood. The few real cases are either some controlling factor such as nutrition or organ malfunction (ie liver) or physical damage.
It is usually a pack of lies so one person can gain control of another person. I know of a wonderful young lady right now with supposed deficiencies who has never been helped and the con artists actively interfere with alternative ideas and even religious intervention. Now they look for a fictitious cause for a fictitious illness. HA.

What ever happened to manic-depression? I liked that better. It had snap to it. You could almost feel the mood swings. Bipolar sounds more like two icebergs.

I can say from my own experience that bipolar disorder is probably 90% nutrition. I changed my diet and it cured a deep persistent depression (which was coated with occasional mania, which, in my opinion, is the body''s way of "forcing out" of persistent depressions to keep functioning). That was 13 years ago. The only times I feel bad now is when I fail to eat good foods. The brain is just another organ- and we are what we eat. Our food nowadays is horrible- corn syrup, premature picking, refined flour... it causes blood sugar to rise and fall faster and harder than ever- in all of human history. If you want peace of mind, eat whole natural foods. That''s what humans did for millions of years... right up until about 50 years ago. I am sure it is especially true for children- they get to grow up once- and if they miss nutrition on the way, it''s possible that the "damage" is irreparable.

My husband was 26 when our bipolar son was conceived. I call BS.

Even so, the odds of a person becoming bipolar are so low that the study''s authors said it shouldn''t dissuade older men from becoming fathers.

They actually paid somebody for this?

"wonder if this study corrected for the number of "flu" shots and other vaccinations these men had. The mercury in shots is the cause of the astronomic increase in autism and decreased brain function capacity of American and British children."

Utter nonsense. The most reliable studies, and there are now many of them, refute this beyond any reasonable doubt. Reasonable being the operative word, of course.

Parents should refuse the standard course of shots given in America. Insist on safe vaccinations!
