It was difficult to just do what they told me to(like stop taking vitamins) and stay off the computer looking for alternatives but this is serious business. I got through and am in recovery now. Go to Johns Hopkins if you can.

I think we can stop with the chorus of unified opinion until he decides to return. He may just be tied up in getting into treatment, or he may have not heard what he wants to hear, that there is an easy way out. For now, let's let the thread idle until he returns to us.
