Wow. Just wow:

Major support was provided by the finding that tranquilizers block dopamine receptors. Ascorbic acid also blocks dopamine receptors but so far this finding has been ignored–it is embarrassing to have a vita-min have the same effect as a tranquilizer.

I know. Fascinating, right?

How about this part?

We find this hypothesis very interest-ing for it is exactly what we have been pro-posing since we first publicly discussed our adrenochrome hypothesis in 1952 before the Dementia Praecox Committee of the Scot-tish Rites Masons in New York.

Just skimmed through it. Gonna print it out and read it thoroughly. And check the references.

That's great, thanks. It's a lot to absorb and cross reference, and your efforts are appreciated.

While I'm not done reading it yet, this stuck out to me: Notwithstanding the negative results, it seems possible that ascorbate could be a mediator of learning and memory, especially stress-related learning,

Stress-related learning is certainly something that handlers would be interested in and use to their advantage, and a victim's disadvantage.
