Alternative to Toxic Psychiatric Drugs


I just received an E which I would like to share with you, because it explains with such simple words what I have believed for decades and this is also why I have never been fond of psychiatry and in favor of any other destructive/pollutive treatments:

Green Mental Health Care: The Alternative to Toxic Psychiatric Drugs

Psychiatry's solution to life's problems is the administration of toxic drugs which according to the FDA can cause mania, worsening depression, anxiety, delusions, seizures, liver failure, suicide, mania, heart attack, stroke, fatal blood clots, sudden death, diabetes and much more. Green Mental Health Care is a non-toxic, non-addictive and non-invasive approach to mental health which focuses on workable medical, not psychiatric, solutions that have better patient outcomes and are not harmful or toxic to those seeking help.
Show this video to anyone before they consider taking toxic psychiatric drugs:
Featuring nutritional biochemist Genita Petralli
"My life is dedicated to reclaiming lives from psychiatric drugs and exposing psychiatry for what it is; a gang of white collar drug pushers robbing our society of every resource that supports it right down to our future; the children. To sit on the sidelines and do nothing while I watch people suffer from the effects of psychiatric drugs is not an option."

A different point of view on autism


A friend just posted this link on facebook. I found it most interesting, even though I know nobody who has this problem, but as with many other diseases I think, there is a good chance that one can cure it in a sensible way and not agree with the common reality that it's hopeless.
By the way, there's also an old film with Merryl Streep, called "First do no harm..." which you might wanna watch if you have a child with this condition.

7 years of hands-on work with my son: my game that taught him to talk again, the diet that my doctor called a ‘Behavior Modifying Diet, the writing program that taught him to pretend, links we love, recipes, recommendations and SO much more!

What happend to the flu?


Remember the terrible plague that was upon us?
Which was supposed to kill us all?

Well unfortunately it's not in the news because it isn't bad news, but the numbers by the end of the year showed some very, very surprising results in Denmark:
Only 16 people died of the swineflu (influenza A), whereas a "normal" flu would usually take 1000 lives in the same period of the year, concluding that this was the mildest pandemic ever!!!

So this should be good news, right?
unfortunately it isn't, because unfortunately the Danish government had spent something like 60 mill. Kroner on Tamiflu which now is completely wasted...

Any guess who got even richer than rich on that one?
Yep, that's right! Dicky-Pouhs, little w's right hand!

Isn't the media just amazing, when it comes to spreading panic and anarchy and helping the filthy ones survive?!

Atlas-treatment


Solution to back problems and other illnesses

Some of you may remember my post on chiropractic:

http://ahealthierwayofliving.blogspot.com/2009/03/chiropractic-as-questionable-method.html

The truth is, things were actually much, much worse in reality and I still can't understand, how people can treat others like this and not end up in jail! Those so called treatments can only be described as an assault and the damage was accordingly.

Anyway this is all in the past now, I have found something which actually does work and much to my surprise did even handle the rather extensive damage caused by the chiros.
It's called Atlasprofilax.

I have copied the following from the homepage of a practioner from Hambourg

www.praxisinformation.com

It explains it better than I could and the further details about the method are also most interesting to read.

The atlas does not only carry our head, being in a bad position it is also responsible for a number of illnesses and diseases.

After a life of suffering R.-C. Schümperli came up with a method to adjust the first vertrible (atlas) without manipulation. There is no risk and the adjustment is constant. It is a massage technique that supports self healing processes.

More details regarding the method.

What we really don't want to look at

I have found the following on JihadGene's blog http://jihadgene-greatreader.blogspot.com/

and I feel the urge to share this with you, because I feel that this is one of the topics where people usually tend to look away and also because I don't think, people can imagine at all, what it's like to be in such a situation. So it may be interesting and good to shed some light on the subject.

But first of all JihadGene's short article:


Rest In Peace SFC Kevin Dupont


On June 17th (Wednesday) US Army Platoon Sergeant, SFC Kevin Dupont, died from wounds received in combat (Afghanistan). He was a fighter and fought death for many weeks at Brooke Army Hospital, Fort Sam Houston. Our prayers continue for his wife Lisa, and all who loved, lived life, and served with him. God be with you.

(Article from BlackFive HERE.)

(Send condolences HERE.)

When you then click on the BlackFive-link and read the entire story, you realize just how long he held on to his body and under which conditions. People often ask me why I seem to be interested in "the dark side of life" or mention some rather unpleasant details in the books that I write... I do that because these things are unfortunately part of our lives. They don't vanish just because we'd rather not look at them. They are and remain there, until we look at them, see them the way they really are and act accordingly!

The story of SFC Kevin Dupont is extremely tragic and what he had to go through was horrible beyond believe, but you know while there are still people out there who are willing to pay the highest price so that others can live a better life... I think the least we can do, is to look at it - look at how they live and how they die.
And as for looking away - everything that we can't face will follow us - for all eternity - until we finally decide that confronting it, is in fact the lesser evil.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not writing this article, in order to rubb this particular message into anyone, this is afterall a health blog. So the connection is naturally health-related and a matter that should be relevant to all of us.

Reading his posted "journal" and the BlackFive-article, it seems that 65% of Kevin Dupont's body had sustained 3rd degree-burns. And the completely horrible thing was, that naturally, having been locked into a vehicle while the flames were eating it up, he also had sustained internal burns - of his lungs - because the air is just so incredible hot when you're in a confined space which also happens to be on fire...!

A condition like that brings along many challenges - it's difficult/impossible for the patient to maintain the body core temperatur, infection is an issue and how his kidneys will deal with the challenge is another. Without even getting into amputations and transplants, I'm sure anybody can see that controlling the patient's pain is a critical and most important issue. Afterall when life is plain hell, why should anybody bother hanging on to his body?

And that is exactly the point of this post: We think we can do anything in life and if it goes wrong there will be medical staff with their expertese, drugs and equipment standing by in order to handle what we then no longer can take responsibility for ourselves. We expect them to be our security net.
But when one takes a closer look at what they actually have to offer and what exactly it is the individual patient will experience then, you're definitely in for a very big surprise!

Many people think that an induced coma means a patient is asleep and doesn't notice anything anymore... well he's asleep alright, having a terrible nightmare from which he can't wake! Not being able to complain about it does not mean that the patient is fine! It means whatever happens he has to endure quietly, without any possiblilty of himself establishing contact with his environment or raising his voice!

There is also the widely spread idea that morphine will solve anything... the truth is, it depends on the patients willingness of wanting to go unconscious. If you do allow a drug to dope you off, well then you can experience some pain relief, but if you're the type who thinks it's most important to stay in present time and hang on to that slim chance of still reserving some selfcontrol over your body and your fait... then they can give you enough for you to stop breathing and you will still be in agony! You will just be too paralized to express it towards your surroundings!

On the other hand, an epidural and other local and regional anaesthetics do actually tend to work quite well...

So what I am calling here for is respect for the patient, respect for the fact that you are dealing with a human being here, a soul that is still there, with all perceptions... even when he/she is uncontious.

Don't dope off people, if there is any alternative at all. Talk to them, adress them as if they were there - because in fact they really are! Though an uncontious person or a person in a coma can not respond, in almost all cases the person is still around, either inside the body or at least next to it. So do addess the person as you usually did, do comfort him/her by all means, do give the patient a chance to respond and express his/her own wishes - f. ex. by saying things that you could imagine would be of his/her concern and then say "For "yes" do squeeze my hand" or "...touch my finger" or "...roll your eyes" - anything at all to give the patient a chance of feeling at least slightly in control of the situation and his/her body!

Don't think that this is a situation you and those you love could never end up in, because you're not volunteering for a tour of duty like Kevin did. Most people end up in trauma-center on perfectly innocent and peaceful backgrounds. Which is not to say, that you should from now on be afraid that it will happen to you - one can prepare for the vast mayority of incidents so they will never happen - if it's only by being here in present time or leading a fairly healthy life...

However... the point here is not to make people afraid! The real message is: treat others like you would like to be treated, try to imagine what they can feel and hear and act accordingly. Much suffering will be avoided this way and the fruits that you will harvest for such kindness are the sweetest you can imagine! Everything comes back to us in some way or another and it's people like that, in situations like those, who have the power to make all the difference and who contribute enourmously to a better world. They are in fact true heros as well as saints - well... at least from my point of view!

And speaking of heros and saints... I am glad that Kevin Dupont's suffering is finally over, even though I really would have wished that he would have pulled through! However at least there's an end to the agony and that is some consolation.

To his so incredibly dedicated and devoted wife I would like to offer my condolences and express my admiration for all that she's done for him - I am not sure if I would have been able to cope with everything she's had to go through while at the same time providing him with all the love and support... This must be quite a trauma for her as well and yet still she found the strength to give and care so unselfishly. All my best wishes and respect for her!

A piece of sky


Does anyone remember Yentle? (No this post is not for the gay community...! Keep on reading guys, you can crack up laughing when we're done.)
This is seriuos talk. Very, very serious - lighthearted stuff about the heavy question WHY.
- Why the fuck can't I get to where I wanna go???!!!

The other day, when I was taking a series of pictures featuring the sky, the great closing scene of the movie Yentle came to my mind.

I have always loved the sky - never cared about the limits - always believed we could go higher, do more and can in fact be free of more or less everything that ties us down - if only we decide to do so.

(See this http://aboutmybooks.blogspot.com/2009/05/cease-fire.html
post for further clarification)

Truth is: what makes one survive, is the ability to adapt and deal with the given conditions, while keeping an eye on the goal and the vision that is guiding one. It's about never loosing sight, never giving up, pushing through no matter what and lasting as long as it takes.

But it's not about blindly following orders on a suicide-mission, it's a very selfdetermined choice, that leads the way.
Unless we're talking about a level of operating that is needed by a group to survive, both the vision, the goal and the means are chosen by the individual himself. But once he has made his choice he won't get very far unless he also has chosen an ethical attitude, is committed to his goal to such a degree that he will endure whatever it takes to reach it.

Many people have beautiful dreams and things they think they would like to do one day. But the difference between the dreamers and the "doers" is simply that those that are successful are completely committed to going all the way. And because they keep on walking, it doesn't matter if they do occassionally lose their way. They keep walking alright! And after they've been everywhere, they'll also some day end up where they actually had intended to go. Simply because they never gave up and kept at it.

There are two things that will help though: one is knowing in which direction to go. And for that it is nescessary not to lose sight. And what do you do when you get lost? Climb up the highest point you can find - a tree, a mountain... anything that gives you an overview, so you can get your bearings!
That's why the sky. Great view, great perspective. Once up there you have zoomed out, have distanced yourself from the distraction and can re-focus in order to be even more goal-directed.

The other thing is attitude. Most people would agree to endurance being the result of selfdiscipline. But to be honest: so is a posive attitude!

Anyway here are the beautiful lyrics and the video of the song - enjoy and get inspired! Below you'll find the sunshine-award:





Tell me where
Where is it written
What it is Im meant to be?
That I cant dare...

It all began the day I found
That from my window
I could only see
A piece of sky.
I stepped outside and looked around,
I never dreamed it was so wide
Or even half as high.

The time had come
(papa, can you hear me? )
To try my wings
(papa, are you near me? )
And even thought it seemed at any moment I could fall,
I felt the most
(papa, can you see me? )
Amazing things,
(can you understand me? )
The things you cant imagine
If youve never flown at all.

Though its safer to stay on the ground,
Sometimes where danger lies
There the sweetest of pleasures are found.
No matter where I go-
Therell be memries that tug at my sleeve
But there will also be
More to question yet more to believe.

(oh tell me where-
Where is the someone who will turn to look at me
And want to sahre
My evry sweet-imagined possibility? )

The more I live - the more I learn.
The more I learn - the more I realize
The less I know.
Each step I take-
(papa, Ive a voice now!)
Each page I turn-
(papa, Ive a choice now!)
Each mile I travel only means
The more I have to go.
Whats wrong with wanting more?
If you can fly - then soar!
With all there is - why settle for
Just a piece of sky?

Papa, I can hear you...
Papa, I can see you...
Papa, I can feel you...
Papa, watch me fly!

10 things about myself


I read both on Foamy's and Diane's blog

http://www.blogger.com/profile/14394546886035933252


http://hereismyheart-dianne.blogspot.com/


the 10 things about them and thought that they are both such nice and lovely ladies and I am not at all like that. So here comes my contrast-post, so you can all get a complete shock and see what a pig I really am...


1) Diamonds are a girls best friend - so they say! Truth is, I really don't care much for jevellery at all, unless it's a true piece of art and then I wouldn't wear it, I would just gaze at it and admire it like a precious painting. Also the life I live... I couldn't possibly wear anything at all without it catching anywhere or a finger getting torn off... My husband and I only wore wedding rings on our wedding day, after that we put them discretely away.
- Still... who says diamonds are not for me... just got myself a nice diamond-sharpner in Lapland - and it really works as well as I had hoped... gut the cuts to prove it!


2) pms, sex and cheating...
My husband knows if he wants to live, he won't make any remarks about pms!
Sex: have been married to the same guy for more than 20 years (and known him for 7 more) and we have 2 children, so we must have done it at least twice... no wait, the first one was with my ex... alright then: we did it at least once, but that one must definitely have been really good - to last this long!!!
Cheating: too exhausting! Can't fit it into my schedule... and besides the ole man is really cute... why else would I have stayed with him all that time?!

another girlie-thing: shopping! I buy tools, building materials, food, houses and that sort of thing - everything second hand - except for the food of course! I never eat in restaurants (why pay for getting food poisoning?) and make lots of stuff myself that others would pay for - trying to keep the "latte-factor" down you know...


4) faith: I was brought up to believe that everybody who had a believe or a religion he was happy with, was a manipulated idiot. But those were the words of the people who for a good reason did not to believe in God or any sort of higher ground and couldn't see beyond basic physical needs.
Their actions were in fact pretty bad and believing in judgement day, life after death, God as a higher being, higher states of excistence... any sort of thing like that would have had the consequence that they either would have needed to come to terms with their crimes or sins, if you want to call it that or that they would probably have concluded that they would rot in hell forever.
They chose to ignore all of that, committed even more harmful acts and yes, I suppose they really are rotting in hell eternally. Because unless you decide to look for higher ground, establish a code of honor for yourself and find the guts to face both yourself and your actions... you are lost and there is only the way down. True enough, that course can always be reversed, but who's got the guts to do it? It's a really, really tough thing to do and I absolutely admire people who have committed terrible crimes but manged to turned it all around afterwards and are working on making up the damage. nobody is innocent but very few have got in them to admit it and to do soemthing about it!

God to me is everywhere. You just have to open your heart and act in the image of God. Your concious will guide you. I see love and understanding as the essence of God and I really believe in that to show us the way. I respect people's religions, many of them have a lot of good ideas and wisdom in them. But I personally keep my own counsel.



4) turn ons: I love the Arctic, would love to move either to the north coast of Norway or somewhere on the west coast of Ireland, or REALLY north! I need the stormy weather and the wind! Makes me feel alive, love nature, rough terrain and sunrises and sunsets.

I appreciate a good sense of humor, definitely! If you don't even have that, you're really fucked, when the going gets tough!

Being able to cope with any situation and being able to face the truth are qualities I admire in people and which I need of those who are close to me.

Turn offs:
Treason is something that completely freaks me out and people who manipulate and suppress others and those who do their dirty work for them and won't admit it.


5) have always dreamt of having a little amphibium up north, but the truth is, I may never get aPPL this lifetime and I don't even have a driver's licence - but who cares about that? The only place I need to drive is in the far north and no bear is gonna come and check me out there...


6) patience is something I admire in other people, but honestly I'm really lousy at it and I have a hard time not commanding people around. Sorry...


7) I do get the job done and I appreciate honesty and find selfdiscipline and organization most important. I live by a code of honor and my actions are on the whole for the greatest good, I do not consider my own survival to be more important than what is for the greatest good. I do not believe what people say. I judge them only by statistcs, actions and in concept. I can not be bought, sold, bribed, blackmailed or tortured to do what others want. I live what I believe and there's no dirt to dig up, because I actually do have clean hands. - As for the rest of my body... well those lovely ladies are just sooo clean and civilized! I'm not like that at all, I fit into the category "pig" I would say. The only cosmetics I use are toothpaste and shampoo - that's it! And it's gotta be as ecological as possible! But when it comes to food - you'll find nowhere cleaner than what I prepare!


8) Funny enough, both Diane and Foamy write about lack of a sense of direction. I wonder if this is a coincidence and what would be typical. Hm... well, it's completely the opposite with me, I don't need a compass to orientate myself, I more or less always know where I am and my husband uses me often when we're abroad to get us home. But I suck at reading maps. Or at least maps in connection with sign posts that really don't harmonize. So I usually drop the map, take look at the sun and remember how many times we've gone in which direction... works perfectly and I never get lost.
Another aspect of direction: I don't believe in any established system or education. I never swallow any lies without checking things out myself. We home-schooled our youngest successfully and I am also the family's "doctor", taking care of minor surgeries as well...


9) memory: I've got a lousy memory for names and numbers, because I don't wanna waste any attention on those - makes things too complex. But otherwise I have a very good and detailed memory, estimate correctly and am able to predict the future and human behaviour very well. I do believe in past-lives. Didn't used to though, but after having been often enough close to death, it's kind of interesting what you experience, if you chose to keep your eyes open...

10) romance and health: never took street drugs and all the psychopharmica I had this lifetime amount to half a pill of valium, which the police insited on after an accident, because they really didn't like my testimony - and who can say it didn't work? They shut up immediately! Anyway... have always eaten fairly healthy, don't drink alcohol, coffee, tea or smoke... like Bourbon though... but don't really drink it anymore, only use alcohol as a spice or for disinfection...
Doesn't mean though I have a perfect body. Have lived a tough life, mostely under what felt like pretty mercyless conditions, and that kind of thing leaves its traces. But that's a choice you make. You can't both have your cake and eat it.

Romance... hm... so important to others... and perhaps I really should do something about it and act a little more romantic... well maybe... but I still have other things to do and how romantic can it get anyway when the guy you're not just superfically in love with, but who you actually do love and have been loving for ages, is also your best friend and thinks and does the same things that you do? The element of surprise and the distance you need in order to make your romantic attempts of getting closer are gone. You are close. As close as it can get! Sometimes it really shocks me, when he doesn't only think what I think, but also phrazes it in exactly the very same words! - Well at least one can't say that we live in different worlds and are keeping secrets from each other... We do have the same targets and goals, do somehow manage to stay on track together to reach them... and that's also something, isn't it?

We also don't have distant relationships to our boys, they're very close to us as well and we don't only share our life with them by often being physically in the same location, we are also spiritually and idialically close.

Hate distance! Can't see why not all mankind should be this close. We could all be best friends if it wasn't for the lies and treason of a very few covert cowards who are pushing a sick agenda...

Mind you gentleness is something very different to romance and my husband truely is a British gentleman. But when it comes to me... well there's nothing gentle about me, I am the total opposite, but I try to be a good girl and try to be more considerate... He by the way has also been the real mother in the family with all that soft and sweet stuff. I on the other hyand have taught my sons disciplin and how to stand up for themselves and what they know to be right and that can't be underestimated either. You need both qualities. We work together, so all areas are getting covered and resources used best.

So, I bet you all now think I really am the worst kind of an excuse for a female, and everybody's complete nightmare... don't you? But don't worry, you're not alone. My boys will agree to that - without hesitation!
