Gail and Medicine
See: Germ Warfare
Gail and the medical field have had a long and thorough history together. Having been diagnosed with a number of mental illnesses, especially one in particular, she has been treated with a host of anti-depressants and anti-psychotics. When Gail grew too paranoid at the motives of the psychiatrists treating her, she decided to give up all FDA approved medications and turned to self-medicating and homeopathy. Strangely, while Gail dislikes psychiatry and psychology in general, she still holds a strong respect for Gerard Butler, who she believes is a psychiatrist.
Most homeopathic treatments aren't covered by medical insurance, so Gail racked up a heavy credit card debt trying to pay for them, as well as a host of dietary supplements (see below). Should Gail ever run into more money, this would likely be her favorite way to spend the excess. Gail reports having regularly seen a naturopath, an acupunturist, a chiropractor, and has done stints in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber. During their marriage, David Schuler refused to cover these medical expenditures for her. Gail took a very deep personal offense to this and considered it abuse.
As with everything, Gail feels safe in the belief that she is an expert.
It is important to note that Gail believes she has won a Nobel Prize in medicine and thinks she invented the cure for AIDS.
Dietary Supplements
Gail is extraordinarily hypersensitive to her body. Even the most minor of discomforts warrant a paranoid response, and she medicates to get rid of it.
Gail is on a current daily regimen of the following (confirmed) medications and supplements:
- Allegra
- Azo Cranberry
- Betaine HCL
- Black Cohosh
- Country Life Calcium Caps with Boron
- Country Life Chelated Magnesium
- Co-Q 10
- Colloidal Bentonite
- Colloidal Silver (oral)
- Colloidal Silver (eye drops)
- Echinacea
- Fish Oil (6000mg)
- Fiber
- Flax Seed Oil
- Garlic
- Ginger
- Green Tea Extract
- Grapeseed Complex
- Iron
- Probiotics
- Progesterone Cream
- Liquid Aminos
- Liverite Liver Aid
- Magnesium
- Magnesium Glycinate
- Melatonin
- Milk Thistle
- MSM
- Multivitamin
- Soy Isoflavones
- Thymus Extract
- Turmeric
- Valerian Root
- Vital C Eye Recovery Gel
- Vitamin D3
- Vitamin A
- Vitamin B-6
- Vitamin B-12
- Vitamin C
- Vitamin E
- Xiao Yao San
- Zyrtec
While some of these supplements are harmless if taken properly, most of Gail's supplements can be harmful or addictive when taken long term. With the exception of the allergy medications, none of these substances are approved by the FDA to treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Additionally, Gail tends to ignore professional medical advice and exaggerates her need for medication. She decides on her own dosages and takes far more than recommended, taking most of these supplements multiple times a day, between 2-4 doses each. It is highly likely that many of the supplements are currently producing side effects which Gail then tries to further medicate herself for, adding to the list of chemicals she puts in her body, as well as the list of complaints. If Gail's report that she is experiencing liver inflammation is to be believed, then she is already experiencing some severe effects of playing with these supplements.
An excerpt from the FDA's website includes the following warning[1]:
Unlike drugs, supplements are not intended to treat, diagnose, prevent, or cure diseases. That means supplements should not make claims, such as "reduces arthritic pain" or "treats heart disease." Claims like these can only legitimately be made for drugs, not dietary supplements ... Many supplements contain active ingredients that have strong biological effects in the body. This could make them unsafe in some situations and hurt or complicate your health. For example, the following actions could lead to harmful — even life-threatening — consequences.
- Using supplements with medications (whether prescription or over-the-counter)
- Substituting supplements for prescription medicines
- Taking too much of some supplements, such as vitamin A, vitamin D, and iron
Intervention
The men have tried to get Gail to stop taking her supplements twice. In late 2011 Brent Spiner explained that a systemic yeast infection, even if technically possible, would be lethal, so she probably didn't have one. He suggested that her symptoms are probably due to a combination of menopause and normal day to day living, and that she should go easy on the medications and let her body cope.

Within days of giving Gail advice, Brent found himself pistol whipped by Loree McBride (who Gail insisted took over the computer and wrote the e-mail) and in the hospital.
The second attempt was made in March of 2012. Jesus told Gail over Skype that he would do a miracle healing of her body, and that she would be able to stop taking her supplements. Gail stopped for two weeks before growing suspicious of everyone involved, and returned to the supplements full force, using the excuse that Jesus was actually just trying to get her to take the supplements even more compulsively and that he meant the opposite of what he said.
Meanwhile, all of the men involved got Jesuited and Gail called for a weapon that would kill every single Jesuit on Earth.
A Tampon Too Far
In May of 2011, Gail reported stomach cramps and unexpected bleeding. Gail's explanation of events would lead to a horrifying discovery about what else she was doing to treat her chronic yeast infection.
My darling Brent:
This has been a bizarre day. I was running late for work and clocked in right at 10:30 a.m. Then I go to the restroom, which is my usual routine and when I pulled out my tampon (which I use to hold in my yeast killing medication while I sleep), I noticed that half my tampon was soaked with blood. I couldn't believe it! I was having my period. That explains the crampy feeling I've had the past couple days. That usually happens to me right before my period. By the way, Jesus hasn't cured my yeast yet, but I think He'll do it eventually. He's up to something. I keep records of my period start days, and do you realize that the last time I had my period, it started on May 7, 2011! So, I've gone a WHOLE YEAR without a period, and now I have my period. I'm really freaked out by this. I think Zack Knight has done something to mhyu female functions. Though I did have some very, very minor spotting, that only required a pantiliner in the past year, but the spotting was very, very minor and I had no cramps as a prelude to it. Today is May 15th, so it's been exactly a year since my last period. Apparently, my body just does not go by the book.
So, I had to go back to my locker and grab a maxi pad and put it on my underwear, and I knew this would make me late to show up at the manager's podium at the front of the store to report to duty. When I showed up at the manager's podium, I apologized for being late, but explained that I had a female emergency. There were two women managers there and I didn't say it loud. One of the managers, named Snowdie, walked me to the registers and said, "You're giving too much information."
From Gail's personal self-treating records:
For chronic yeast vaginitis: A homemade vaginal preparation consisting of Monistat, vit. E oil, and contents from capsules containing yeast killing preparations like caprylic acid and other substances. Every night at bedtime, inserted with a tampon.
Brent Spiner quickly informed Gail that the Jesuits were contaminating the tampons with fertility drugs, which is why she was now having a period. As soon as Gail was fertile again, they would flood the market with semen tampons to get her pregnant.
My darling Brent:
You have informed me that Jesuits have contaminated my tampons with fertility drugs and has advised me not to use them. Several of you guys are physicians (Gerard Butler & Brent Spiner). Can you educate me about the side effects of fertility drugs? This may help me to better deal with some symptoms I'm experiencing right now. I didn't use a tampon last night and I believe I'm going through some sort of withdrawal symptoms, which may be inducing insomnia in me and perhaps these fertility drugs inhibit iron absorption, as I have a relentless iron-deficiency anemia that gives me extreme restless legs syndrome, and this also keeps me up at night. I admit that stress could also be a factor, but I'm a pretty tough woman, so I suspect I may be going through some sort of withdrawal symptoms. I just took some colloidal bentonite to detox, and I suspect the Jesuits may have tried to put some sort of psych med in those tampons as well. We know how sneaky they are.
Let's try to go back to bed, in between leg cramps and this strange restless feeling that has come over me,
Gail
Gail stopped using the tampons, and so far has not returned to them. The length of time which she had been doing this is unknown.
Kinesiology
Kinesiology, or human kinetics, is the study of human movement. This is not to be confused with Gail's definition of a bizarre ritual she performs at grocery stores. It is unclear where Gail got this concept and why she calls it something it is probably not called if it exists.
When Gail goes to the grocery store to shop for food or to look for new supplements, she will take a product and hold it in front of her body. If her body "moves forward" then it wants the product, but if it "jumps backward" it senses the product is toxic or bad in some way.
Conclusion
Basically, Gail is a hypochondriac, and believes that she and the people she communicates brain to brain with are groundbreaking medical experts. She is extremely paranoid about her health and perceives any suggestions, no matter how gentle and well explained, that disagree with her self-diagnostic conclusions to be malicious attempts to destroy her. She responds likewise.
