Re: More evidence emerges that Americans are drugged out of their minds

#107689,
ok, we are in agreement that Scientology is a cult.

Indeed, Schizophrenia is a biochemical imbalance; that is a biochemical imbalance and not an emotional imbalance.

The hub of the matter is whether this biochemical imbalance has its roots in biochemistry and of a physiological origin, or whether this imbalance is of an emotional/psychosomatic origin. A case of whether the chicken or the egg comes first.

It is established that Schizophrenia can be treated successfully via Orthomolecular means by using Vitamin B3 and other nutrients. There are Scientific references at the end of each article in support of this approach...........

In addition, fasting (a physiological process) is also established as an effective treatment for Schizophrenia and other Psychoses/Neuroses..........

I do not doubt that repressed emotions can create toxins within the brain and the body generally, but there seems to be very little evidence that "talk-therapy" or psychotherapy/psychiatry has any therapeutic value and is even dangerous..............

"Psychiatry is a complete fraud and the problems caused by the drugs used (gastrointestinal bleeding, tardive dyskinesia, etc.) by these practitioners have, as usual, been covered up or ignored. Making money for drug companies has taken precedence over careful scientific research searching for truth in the interests of piling up bigger profits for an enormously wealthy industry.
At this time psychiatry is a very valuable asset for the pharmaceutical industry. Psychiatrists are busy writing prescriptions for drugs all day long. The prospects for the future are even brighter, as more and more Americans of all age brackets are recruited by programs aimed at having every living man, woman and child taking a psychoactive drug daily"...Dr. James Howenstine, MD.........

Your comment.............
"Repressed emotions create toxins in the brain and you wish to treat it with diet"?

Response........
Absolutely: the only way to remove bodily toxins (including that of the brain) is by diet and fasting; this accelerates the detoxifying capacity of the body, by diverting digestive energies that become redundant, away from the work of digestion into cleansing and healing.


Your comment.........
"It's no different than taking an SSRI prescription to "cure" the problem but it is not treating the source"

Response.......
Whatever that source is of course.

Your comment...........
"You free the body of toxins by healing the mind"

Response....
The only way of freeing the body of toxins is by a physiological process known as fasting or some foodstuffs such as Chlorella which helps in the elimination of heavy metals.


Your comment...........
"The repressed emotions which create toxins in the brain actually cause cancer and a host of other illnesses".

Response.........
Any metabolic toxins sourced either endogenously or exogenously can be carcinogenic.


Your comment...........
Proper diet and nutrition are beneficial for many things but they do not cure emotional issues - with only one exception that I know of, and that is Omega 3 supplementation. By using nutrition alone you are only treating a symptom and not the underlying suppression of emotions and you will continue to walk through life in a straight jacket.

Response..........
It is true: diet and nutrition are beneficial for many things and especially emotional issues.
Nutrition is vital in the cure of mental health issues, and this is where I agree with Jurplesman; if the nutritional approach is adopted first, then in many many cases the emotional issues are resolved. It is only AFTER this, that any subsequent avenue of treatment should be considered.
The Brain is an organ of the body just like any other, and profoundly influenced/affected by diet: the omega3 fatty acids you have mentioned are just one example out of many................

NUTRITION and THE MIND.

Your comment...........
Where did I quote Barrett?

In your 19th paragraph here.........
//www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1568757#i

Stephen Barret has lost more court cases brought by him against alternative medicine than you or I have hot dinners.
(unless you are a raw foodist).
I suggest you read this as Barret has been discredited many many times........

"Paranoia is an irrational mental condition based on fear and it's showing bright and clear in your statement above".

I am Paranoid?
Well.....I'd best go and see a Psychiatrist and receive the prescription drugs I am desperately in need of, and add to the toxins already filtering into and thru my brain!!!


I am however pleased to know that your long-standing mental issues have been cured, but my own reason for my belligerence against Psychiatry is based on personal experience of years and years standing; severe clinical Depression and other cognitive issues from my teens into early adulthood. Psychiatrists were next to useless.
Read this thoroughly.............

"those who slam psychiatry out of hand are the ones who need it the most".

Is a comment based on ignorance.
