The follwing are notes taken from a lecture by Woody McGinnis in Auckland for SFNZ in 2008. They were taken by hand, so may not be as comprehensive as those of Woody McGinnis himself. You can also see his published research in our Research section.Here are my notes from Woodys lecture.
( My version of it is by no means exact, so please excuse any error)
Woody was talking on Oxidative Stress and the Mauve Factor. His background is a Behavioural nutritionist and also a Parent of a child with a behavioral disorder- severe adhd. He was a GP, now specialises in research.
Woody started by talking of research on ADHD that a lady had done in her neighbourhood with other parents and co-related their physical symptoms and appearances in a tabulated form. The results showed that Dry skin/ eczema/ and other symptoms were prevalent. This suggested a deficiency in fatty acids. They discovered that Evening primrose oil and zinc were beneficial for these these problems , as well as treating the ADHD symptoms.
'The Mauve Factor' refers to a urine test that shows lilac on the paper chromatography test. It was discovered by Abram Hoffer in 1961. He found 27 out of 39 of those with Early schizophrenic diagnosis showed a high mauve factor. When he treated 7 with Niacinamide the Mauve went from Positve to negative. When their symptoms reappeared the Mauve reappeared also.
