Creatine for Depression & Uradine for Bipolar?

Natural substances treat depression (and bipolar), parentheses and contents added by me, story on KSL.com, it looks like some study results released today by the University of Utah on two natural substances the body makes or uses; they say creatine is in every cell in the body, and uradine is usually found in breast milk.

The story leads me to feel that these sound really promising, especially since they treated adolescents (granted, I'm not one of those) with bipolar with uradine alone, even, after having treated them with these as supplements to the regular medication.

I'm so excited about this I had to post it before going to bed, staying up a little late but I'm too excited even though it'll be years before this makes it to approval, if it does, for use for people like me. Hopefully there's alot fewer side effects with things like this than with current medications.

Sara, this is your Mom writing. I have tried innumerable times to get set up with a gmail account, and it never works, so I have given up with that. That is why I always sign as anonymous, or do like I am now doing!
I was very grateful to see this article because I read it with a great deal of interest, knowing that it could possibly help at some time in the future.

Sara,this sounds very good. I think that there would be less side effects as they are natural substances.

We are back home and things are going well. The person who was in the hospital is doing better and a visiting nurse comes. My work computer was set up right away but I was without a home computer for over a week. Now I have a brand new computer. I have to reset my password for email just to let you know. I sure hope I didn't get a virus with a pop up box.

It is so nice to be able to post again! Hi Sara's mom!

Creatines are also renowned for drawing water into the muscles to make them look bigger and fuller. This is very popular supplement.
