Question
I have read on some websites that marijuana used for medicinal purposes is
effective
for BP disorder as well as for cancer patients undergoing chemo.
Any research on this?

Answer
Hi Sarah,

I think you should try to treat Bipolar Disorder nutritionally with the help of a Nutritional Doctor or a Clinical Nutritionist or Nutritional Psychologist.

Go to:

Self-help Personal Growth Psychotherapy at:
http://www.hypoglycemia.asn.au/articles/self-help_personal_growth.html

and search for Bipolar Disorder where you will find articles. Then discuss with a Nutritional Doctor, a Clinical Nutritionist or a Nutritional Psychologist if you want to.

Drugs can only aggravate the condition.
