I'm leaning more towards "manic episode" rather than "miracle cure" at this point.

In fact, I'm going to call you out here and now:

If you do not post a singular piece of information related to your cure--and it has to be a specific element of your cure (eating a particular food, taking a particular supplement, doing a particular exercise)--then you do not have any such cure and instead are probably having a psychotic or manic episode.

Do it. Tell us one single, specific part of your cure. What is being demanded is very, very, very, very simple. It in no way invalidates your cure or "gives the ending away". If you do it, we'll see that you do have specific information to offer. If you don't, and instead you post 400 words of the same old crap about how busy you are, and thus how highly you are functioning, and what a perfectionist you are, then nobody should believe you anymore.

You've been called out. Give us a single piece of information. Your perfectionism cannot possibly get in the way. It's a single sentence, and there must be some one, uncontroversial element to your cure which you can share in a perfectly worded, wrought-over sentence.

I ask everybody other than goldfish who reads my post to quote me on this so goldfish will not be able to avoid it.

If it's taking you this long me thinks ADHD isn't entirely cured.


OR if you read the thread you'd see I'm functioning much higher & better than I ever have in my entire life and am out working more than full time, doing volunteer fundraising work, and living life.. so I'm truly busy, and exhausted, making it difficult to spend much time working on this. I'm working 60+ hours a week, plus commuting, fundraising efforts, other obligations & life and of course I need to get some sleep here and there.

I find it interesting how some people here are a little rude when they can't be patient & expect instant gratification to satisfy whatever it is they want. Be patient. I've been nothing but completely honest and transparent with you about how I'm spending my time and why it's taking me longer than anticipated to steal away enough time to get this written up properly.


You provide the stimulants and I'll read the required material. But fat chance I'm reading anything half as interesting as what's in this thread before then.

There Goldfish I got you started. You really didn't think you were the only one with the master ingriedients, did you? :lol:


You leave out so many details!

That's PAN blackened spaghetti with 14 teaspoons of large crystal sea salt.

And the grass has to be mown under a new moon before venus sets.

Or..... DOES IT???

Only Goldfish can really say


Don't forget kale. Kale has to be consumed at some point. GFCF kale chips.

Kale actually tastes good. But it seems to be either thought of as this miracle food, or this "miracle food" to be made fun of. Not this food that's actually sensible to have in soups just because it makes sense to have in soup.

What drugs are you taking? We need to know so we can try them out, lol. Seriously though, just because something is working for you doesn't mean it's going to work for others. The fact you call it a miracle cure and have so much faith in it, but still haven't disclosed what "it" is, is highly suspicious to me. Also, you seem like you're enjoying the attention from this thread a lot too.

Whatever "it" is, I'm glad it's working for you.


pharmaceuticals? none. recreational? just the odd toke, which is arguably medicinal. medicines in the technical/literal sense? more than a dozen - maybe a couple dozen. I'll get to all of that it my writing, story & explanation.

#1 - What you say about how you are functioning and how you are actually functioning may be different
#2 - What effect your cure has on you and what effect it may have on others may be different
#3 - You have come up with a "cure" and you want to be the person who came up with something important. Therefore, you maybe striving extra hard in life to be able to prove that your cure is in fact a cure.

Instead of trying to document what you think the effects of your cure are, just post the cure. Then those who want to try it can compare what they think the effect was to yours when you have the time to write up the whole thing.


#1 - Fair enough, but it's not just me that's noticed the differences - it's everyone that knows me. Many people have commented on how much I've changed recently.
#2 - Possibly, but IMO you should be open to the possibility that what's working for me may work just as well for you & others.
#3 - No. It's straight up legitimately working both mentally & physically. I'll explain everything I've learned in all pertinent detail and you'll get to read it for yourself.

As I've said before, it's not just about posting a shopping list for cooking ingredients, it's about how I came to learn this stuff and why it makes logical medical sense. I get the fact that you want me to be able to share it ASAP, but IMO it requires the background info/story as well as info/reference sources to make sense. I'll put it together my way and share it when I can.

:lol: I do happen to have a bunch of Dexedrine I'm no longer taking... so that could be arranged. :P

Really, well nobody else has said anything about it to me.

I think it's weird that you say I am not open to the possibility. I am merely pointing out that mileage may vary and seeing the results of a number of people using the cure is infinitely more valuable than your book on the topic.

I see. So explain to me how repeating the same thing over and over (about telling us later) even in the face of complaints of insufficiency, instead of actually addressing the concerns of others is an indication of actually being cured. I mean you are annoying us and have no seeming sense of it -OR- you are just taking an NT approach and understanding but ignoring us out of your view that posting the whole things will be beneficial. Either way it seems you are not cooperating with us to the extent you can which to me is the cure. So in my view, if you were really cured, you'd be doing a better job at cooperating with the numerous inquiries for just the basic facts.

This is getting to be almost as bad as littlebees posts - endless rambling about some miraculous revelation without actually saying anything of substance. Goldfish can complain all he likes about the adverse comments he has received, but he only has himself to blame by making declarations long before he is able to back them up with 'documentation and proof'.

Not that many people are likely to take his miracle cure that seriously. The only miracle here is that the placebo effect worked so well on goldfish that he has convinced himself that he is cured. Without double blind testing on a wide sampling of test subjects, very few people on here are going to take this 'cure' very seriously. I can alter my mood by pure willpower alone when I have the clarity and motivation to do it It doesn't mean I am no longer autistic, or that I have a miracle cure. Just that I am lucky enough to be able to lift my mood enough to be more productive.

You're calling me out for what? Working full time + overtime & spending my nights doing fundraising for my ex-coworker who's in a medically induced coma after a terrible accident? :lol:

The answer isn't super simple. Its multifauceted and requires a thorough explanation. I'll finish writing it up when I can make the time to do so. So far I'm at about 4 typed pages. It'll end up being quite a bit longer. When I'm done I'll share it, then you can read it and judge for yourself. Until then... Patience, grasshoppah.

So, what you're saying is that when I'm able to share this you're volunteering to follow the same treatment protocol I have and you'll either improve yourself immensely (win!) OR prove me wrong. (Also a win, depending on your perspective.) So, since you can't lose you're in to try it out then? Excellent. Glad to hear it. 8)

Good thing you won't need fried monkey balls, then.. But I do hope you have some powdered unicorn horn & leprechaun scrotum in your apothecary. :lol:

If you call that logic then you are definitely not cured !

So basically you started a thread and wanted the whole world to know about your miraculous new treatment and suddenly you can't because every second of your day you have to do some really special things that leave you unable to work on your masterpiece? I'm sorry I find that hard to believe, also the 'excuses' you make, make you seem like some sort of pathological liar.

I call bs.
