I would greatly appreciate the studies that show how Myelination disorders are linked to "mental illness" or psychotic disorders like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. If this information was more public maybe more people would be getting better and not looking at those people with harsh stigma. If they knew that it was because the outer coating of their nerves were often worn thin due to Demyelination, whether from a brain lesion or the genetic disorder charcot marie tooth which I have the gene for--so I know for sure.
My mother is psychotic and she also has charcot marie tooth. My dream is that one day we will stop looking at people based biasedly on their behaviors knowing the genetic factors and causes of these biological disorders which are not random chemical imbalances. CMT is just one example of a rare illness that creates the rare psychosis affected by toxic oxidative stress.
I'd like to see radical new science and alternatives posted on earth clinic because if you could cure myelination you could cure and reverse the damage of psychosis, did you know that? This is one of many sites who boldly point to this theory. Thanks!!

CMTD Link to Psychotic Disorders
Lion's Mane mushroom is proving very effective in rebuilding the myelin sheath in MS. It is non-toxic, and may be beneficial. There are many articles about this on the web. Google Lion's mane mushroom and myelin sheath. Just one article can be found here:

CMTD Link to Psychotic Disorders
I just learned that 2 half-siblings have been diagnosed with CMT. Each of us has different fathers, so, that might mean it came from our mom—who coincidentally was “a little bipolar” (her words…)
But realising something was going on, I determined to adjust my diet, & use herbs, mushrooms, & more, to help at least slow it down from worsening.
That has been very helpful. Symptoms are still fairly small & not entirely impeding my life, despite having tried to flair up over the past 35+ or so years.
& interesting, that I only started adding a mushroom compound a few weeks ago…that included lion's mane! MAYbe, I should push harder for a firmed-up diagnosis!?

Hello again CHI,
I also meant to add this site. It has some suggestions.
