I was a student of Melvin Page, D.D.S. over thirty years ago. He invented a method to quickly and accurately determine someone's inherited glandular pattern. I modified his system so that anyone can use it and measure themselves to find out what their glands are doing. The system is described in both of my books. The Hormone Mess and How To Fix It and A Magic Bullet Cure For Depression and Manic Depression. Dr Page described a treatment for manic depression using posterior pituitary supplement in a newsletter article to his students well after his books were written. Because of the limited distribution of this knowledge it may be the reason that the treatment is little known to the general public today. I have used it for myself and several relatives with great success. You should not however self-administer. The dosage has to be carefully determined by someone trained by Page or one of his students. It works.
