It is the biological basis for the work of Alice Miller (and others, e. g. Janov.) who recognize that the suppression of emotions is the basis for mental illness and violence. My paper is very techinical and about biochemistry. For practical purposes reading Alice Miller or Kirt's work, is a better idea. But I believe the suppression of emotions affects our ability to eat instinctively. My paper also explains the biology behind addictions, which of course also bears on our eating habits. It explains why stimulants are addicting, which would apply to mutant sugars, etc and Mallaird's molecules. Your comment, Pat, about yelling 'fire' at first confused me. I have passed my paper around in the psychiatric world and it has been rejected by several medical journals. I now think I know what you mean. Psychiatrists generally don't want to hear about non-drug solutions, not that drugs are evil if used temporarily when needed. They are all ignoring me, running away from the 'fire' of the truth? My best. Ellie
