What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? I hope to make the treatment of addiction into a self-help program for anybody to help themselves, by teaching the influence of nutrition on "mental" health.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: Most "mental" health problems are NOT IN THE MIND, but in a unhealthy body.
