Question
Hi there
I note that you posted a response to my question on the About.com Depression-Forum yesterday.  Unfortunately all your posts appear to have been deleted for some reason(?).  I am intrigued as to what the post said and would very much like to receive your comments so if you are able to post them on this site instead I wll gladly link in another time to read them.
Kind regards
AFriend2

Answer
Hello AFriend2,

I am not aware of any posts being deleted. I will have to check up on this. I cannot remember what the question(s) was, but whatever it was the answer would be at our web site.

I take an alternative point of view to the treatment of mental illness involving nutritional therapy, instead of drug therapy, and this could upset some people.
