Schizophrenia, Bipolar disorder, ADHD, major depression, anxiety disorders -- there is a rising epidemic of 'madness' in America. Nearly 78 million Americans take psychiatric drugs and there are over 6 million people rendered permanently disabled by a psychiatric disorder. What was once viewed as a temporary emotional and psychological crisis has now become a lifelong illness that is only treatable with psychiatric medications. One has to wonder, when it comes to psychotropic drugs, is the cure worse than the illness? A review of the scientific literature shows quite clearly that it is our drug-based paradigm of care that is fueling a modern-day plague that comprises of debilitating and worsening psychological symptoms, an inability to work, disastrous medication side effects, altered mental functioning and brain shrinkage.

On this episode of the Health and Wellness show we take a closer look at the ill-advised biological notion of mental illness, 'magic bullet' drugs and their ill effects and how the course of a so-called mental illness is different depending on where you live. Join us as we explore how psychiatry and Big Pharma pushed the chemical imbalance myth that took hold of the public mind and set the world on the road to crazy town.

Do pets, like humans, get depressed or it is just emotional maladjustment to living in a sick environment? Stay tuned for Zoya's Pet Health segment to find out more.

I know all about the BS coming from Psychological Treatments but I prefer to be silent, because you can't fight Town Hall and Town Hall is a provincial push over compared to the Medical Bureaucratic Gov. Associations.

We Need Them Like We Need An Aspic

Profiting from the sufferings of others indebts the Soul. Who are the people in this world who study Other People? I see a place of ice, snow and dark, where these persons can go and study each other to death. Act of psychiatric diagnosis is act of Spirit Murder. We need them like we need an aspic.

Big pharma, pill pushers, lies.

It's all for profit. I can guarantee you that. There are no confirmed psychiatric disorders that are incurable by
the human body or any other medical problems that can't be cured.
Empirical data have shown us that any malfunction of the human body can be self treated given time. If it can't be treated, the CPU of the human body (our brain) will give the "shut down" order and the person will die.
Exploiting human emotions and trying to avoid the unavoidable (death) an entire industry has been created, one of the most powerful ones on the planet, the medical industry whose only purpose is to "treat" you like a soldier, sending you back to the front line to "fight" (WARk and sucking you dry in the process) so that you can produce more money (power) for the system that eventually will be telling you what to do all your life or else...
And here is a link that is not so irrelevant. When the Agency picked Clinton as the next U.S. president, they
already knew of her poor medical condition, so that they could manipulate her anyway they wanted. Soros clears Trump financially in order to lose and henceforth we are all screwed up big time. I love this planet and especially it's inhabitants.

the plight of the sold

I can inform people via first-hand experience that the whole organic eating and living 'concept' is now bought out. Everything about it is a crock of corporate shit and lies.

We (my wife and I) are a genuine organic farm, always have been (since 1980) and like other genuine organic farms, we are slowly being destroyed.

All of the independent and local and small and truly environmentally conscious groups or individuals are being eliminated and deprived of their access (and right) to the earth's vital resources, specifically, the land and the ability to grow and find and produce truly good food and maintain fertility and air and water quality.

Just as all the indigenous people had their land and livelihoods stolen from them, now the next closest thing--we, the independent and locally responsible farmers and growers who are capable of thinking and acting in a responsible and friendly manner, are having everything taken away.

Soon, we (the once normal and well-adjusted healthy people) will all be homeless and mentally ill. It is all so insane.

Everybody is just insane, it is all so very insane.

Take a pill.

Have another.

And another.

The flight of the soul (the joy of living and being) has become the plight of the sold out (utter despair and chronic depression due to heinous and seemingly impossible to stop criminal takeover).

the source of grief

There is a story that has been told of a woman who lost her only son in 'the war'. She took to the streets, crying and sobbing and weeping uncontrollably.

One by one, the various merchants and other 'upstanding' citizens of the town, made great displays of their 'compassion', in an attempt to console her.

The only truly wise man of the town, heard of this, and one-by-one, these various merchants and other 'upstanding' citizens were contacted by him, this one wise man.

To each, he said: 'You all believe yourself to be in a better position than the old woman and thus suited and placed to console her, but you are not. She, at least, knows the source of her grief, but you do not. You have no understanding of it, whatsoever.'

ned,
