My Schizophrenia seems to have dissipated like the money in my wallet.
After I started using fish oil, I suddenly had an urge to become a Republican this happened about the same time I discovered my inclination to fondle teabags. Now my Doctor says I have to cut back on my mercury intake whatever that means, though I once owned a Ford.
Since I own forty cats, the fish oil thing turned out to be a major mistake.

Having a senior moment: forgot to add, in time, that the amount of violence in people with mental illness is the same percentage as the general population, about 3per cent. A friend with bipolar illness (formerly called manic depression) reminds me of that fact often.

This rumor has been around before, viz for bipolar. Eh. And I’d like to slightly revise gerard’s comment to : swab the Pentagon, the White House, Congress, the Mayor’s Office/NYC, the Police Commissioner’s office because a)they’re doing the violence and

STUDY SUGGESTS FISH OIL CAN WARD OFF PSYCHOTIC
EPISODES
Report thisFirst we import fascism from Austria, then we import
a GOVENATOR to
destroy California, & now with America in the throes
of a cataclysmic
financial collapse, we import a stealth fish oil
infomercial. Just what
we need to keep those of us who lost our jobs, homes,
savings &
futures from going crazy.

Could we put it into drinking water? Maybe then USans wouldn’t be fooled by assinnine, ridiculous state false flag “terror” like the crotch bomber, who couldn’t even blow off his nuts let alone the airplane.

Flax or hemp oil would do it better—I doubt the mercury and other heavy metals in fish oil will help.

My suggestion: Swab the streets of Washington, Los Angeles and New York with fish oil to cut down on “psychotic episodes” like war, police brutality and Wall Street theft.
