The razor’s edge: musings and a collection

NEW POST - On the razors edge - look to the right it's the shadow, hell, the abyss. Turn your head and it's the light...take in the whole entire shebang and you're right here right now. Heaven and hell. Living on the edge of everything. Tantra. The mystery of the unknown.

Bartonella and psychosis and TD

A new study reveals there is indeed an association with bartonella infection and that which gets labeled psychosis. There is a long list of other supporting science at the end of the article on Mad in America as well. I've been connecting the dots for a long time. Tardive dyskinesia is also associated with bartonella in that dyskinesias are symptomatic of bartonella.

psychiatry in the news (new post)

There are a couple of items in the news right now that I'm going to briefly cover here as I used to do. Since social media really took off, covering psychiatry in the news isn't something I've done much of. That said, occasionally it feels important to do so. I will do it with the help of social media as that is where I found the news. (these deal with forced and violent treatment...coverage in the NEW YORK TIMES and Mad in America)

Somatic imperative: collection

NEW POST -- I coined the term “somatic imperative” a while back as my journey seems locked in by what my body needs. In surrender I watch and learn as my body does what it knows. The animal wisdom, seemingly divine in nature takes over and knows the nature of things. These injuries this body has had to heal are mindblowingly complex.

A message to those labeled by psychiatry. Audio by Monica

A message to those labeled by psychiatry. Audio by Monica --- I just listened to some of this and thought I'd share it as a new post on the site. I deleted everything on my youtube channel and saved a few of the audios which are now on soundcloud. This is one of them. I was surprised to hear it and frankly needed to remember some of it right now. Ha ha. I often feel like what I say is coming through me and so old stuff can help me from time to time! I hope you enjoy. Love to you all.
