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

#107689 ,
just a few comments and then I shall have to call it a day.

#1. I am still of the opinion that the nutritional and orthomolecular approach in the treatment of psychiatric disorders is the first avenue of support and cure, coupled with the techniques you have mentioned in overcoming suppressed emotions, if the former wasn't discovered to be the underlying cause.
I have not said there is no value in them, just that they take second place if the first avenue of therapy proves to be ineffective.

#2. You have made a diagnosis of my mental state from my picture and my previous posts, which is of course complete nonsense.
If you knew me at all then you would know that I am one of the most patient and at-ease of people, so a diagnosis based on what you have said
is.............well..............ridiculous!!

#3. I do not deal with the placebo effect, only in tangible results. The placebo effect is really scraping the barrel for excuses.

#4. Re' Stephen Barrett. Please re-read my last post and the links within it, where he has admitted under oath in a Canadian Court of Law that he "failed the exams he was required to pass to become a Board Certified Medical Doctor."

#5. There is no point in continuing this discourse as our mindsets are of opposite persuasions, although don't forget I have said there is value in both: it is only our first choice approach that differs................

#6. EDIT..I also believe that the majority of psychiatric-related mental-illnesses are physiological, in the sense that they are caused by nutritional deficiencies/imbalances and/or stress-related nutritional-deficiencies/imbalances, coupled with toxemia: as with most other diseases, and to a lesser extent by psychology.

Psychiatry is largely a fraud, although you say it works...........
