The coin of health has illness on the other side. The currency of joy has sorrow on the reverse. Turn the coin of serenity and there is the stamp of worry. You always have to take what is underneath and reckon with that too. Happiness rests on sorrow, life upon death, calm upon turmoil.... Continue Reading →
We need to ask what does it mean when people say that psych meds "work"... Because when they "work" that does not change the fact that they are also neurotoxic substances that often gravely harm people - sometimes to the point of death. (not altogether rarely, either) ... For me, this fact is held together with the fact that if other options are not offered there can be no reasonable judgement against those who, in a system that doesn't offer choice, choose to use these drugs. ...
I wrote the below response to someone who (admitted she) couldn't be bothered to read my post nor watch the video but felt it important to tell me that bragging about being drug free for seven years was nothing to be proud of...(LinkedIn is always the source of these sorts of comments that come my way these days...it seems people come upon the work and it simply shocks them) It was this title she was responding too: 7 yrs off psych drugs: a message to those labeled by psychiatry ...
First one on the left is for flushing the lymph (contains self-heal, violet, red root, and calendula), the second is an antifungal/antimicrobial (contains St. John's Wort, Pau D'arco, Lemon Grass, Lemon Balm, Olive Leaf and Tulsi), the third is for flushing bile (fenugreek) and the fourth is a highly mineralized nutrient dense mixture for bone health and the added bonus is it's also profoundly healing to the nervous system.

At this point I can feel growth in the shittiness too (most of... Continue Reading →
What happened to my brain and nervous system as a result of long-time psych drug use was that it's capacity to feel shrunk --literally. I'm now growing new capacities...encouraging new neuropathways and pruning less than ideal ones. I can feel this happening. Really.

At best all they do is suppress and control. ...
