sam-e causes brain damage?

of course, you cant even compare the effects of intravenous injections to
oral administration,
never mind the discrepency in dosages,
however there is little info available as far as toxicty, most studies
involving humans rely on observations to judge side effects, by this method,
any subtle neurotoxicity would be missed.
I thought that maybe this information could be used to judge the potential
of normal doses of SAMe (200 -1600mg/day) could be neurotoxic.
