Rather-than developing a thick-skin,

which requires enduring progressive hazing, as male-culture realized, oh, millions of years ago...

instead develop equanimity:

take-up whichever subset of yoga it is, that heals your metabolism right, see?

Frawley's "Ayurvedic Healing" helps you identify which metabolism/dosha you are in, and once you've found that ( & you can do the foods-pacifying that metabolism vs foods-aggravating that metabolism experiment, too, using that book's ingredients-list ),

then you use Frawley & Kozak's "Yoga for Your TYPE" book, to find the subset of yoga asanas suited to your metabolism,

and you practice those, as a means of getting-past the inner/unconscious obstacles, until yoga becomes a natural habit, then you concentrate on piercing the unconscious-obstacles, while your habit of yoga takes care of which asanas you need, and are doing...

I've replicated both the undermethylated-DNA treatment & the pyrrol-disorder treatment in William J. Walsh's "Nutrient Power", and verify that they objectively work, but he left-out a couple key informations...

( there are 3 epigenetic disorders which underly about 90% of psychiatric-conditions, but the hatred in psychiatry when an Australian researcher gutted "ulcers are a psychiatric-condition" is NOTHING compared with what'd happen if the evidence that Walsh's research is replicable were to pierce authority-based-medicine. The 3rd is overmethylated-DNA.

He also identified that some people's biology accumulates lead or cadmium, as-in you can have several boys in the same family, in the same house, and 1 of 'em'll be accumulating high blood-lead or high blood-cadmium, and they tend to end up in prison.

He also identified that there is an opposite-to-pyrrol-disorder with too-high-zinc, instead of too-high-copper, which also creates specific "psychiatric" disorder. )

I discovered that treating undermethylated-DNA disorder requires enteric-coated SAMe, taken with clear-water ( ZERO carbs or sweeteners of any kind ), 40-ish mins before breakfast.

Once the nausea hits, then you can eat, but it must get past the stomach, still sealed, for it to work.

It took 3 months to treat my undermethylated-DNA disorder, & then I discovered what ZERO-stress felt-like, for the 1st time in my life.

Never imagined anything like that, before...

It also removed my academic-drive, though, so I didn't continue ( I could have lowered the dosage, instead )

I've also used Methionine to treat undermethylated-DNA disorder.

It works, I never had the dosage high-enough, and it took 4 months.

Each of those I'd done 2x, and all 4 of the experiments produced the same effect.

Pyrrol-disorder requires arachidonic-acid-precursor, which is why he mentions Evening Primrose Oil, but he doesn't explain that that's why he mentions it.

( assuming that people already know that is .. stupid )

So, the components of pyrrol-disorder treatment are evening-primrose oil, P5P, I think it's called, one of the B-vitamins, & zinc.

I found that a 50%/50% mix of zinc gluconate & zinc picolinate was best.

Do NOT use zinc citrate, which hits so fast, that it produces a savage emotional-roller-coaster & can lock one ( who has pyrrol-disorder ) in RAGE intermittently during the 1/2h to 4h after taking the zinc citrate..

( that is, itself, a perfect diagnostic for pyrrol-disorder, btw:

get a person with PTSD-style RAGEs on the P5P & evg primrose oil for a couple of days, then put 'em in a padded room, & give 'em either a zinc citrate or a placebo, & watch & wait...

IF the placebo doesn't, but the zinc-citrate does, make 'em deranged, then that IS pyrrol-disorder.

No debate: that is as evidence-based as medicine can be, for anybody who accepts objectivity & scientific-method. )

Anyways, now I know to use methionine to "take the edge off", whenever life's crushing me, & I supplement zinc, to help my body keep .. saner.

Mostly I'm using meditations to counter it all, though.

These work, I cannot test the overmethylated-DNA disorder treatment ( niacinimide & folate ), because I simply don't have that condition.

May something in this hand you the leverage to keep a more-even keel when life's smashing-you-up...

This stuff does work for me.
