There is NO cure, regardless of what you have read or seen on TV (there are only treatments). I look fine on the outside, you would never know that anything is wrong with me. I have had to fight this illness my whole life, explaining to employers who didn’t understand, making excuses to friends & family because they didn’t understand, & trying to find a reason to live because I was tired of explaining my life away.
What pisses me off the most is that my biggest fight has been with the medical community. I’ve been on over a dozen different anti-depressant medications (& have refused to try just as many) since I was 19 (I’m now 50). Finding an MD that would actually listen to me & not over-medicate me was almost impossible! The side-effects that come with these medications are very hard to live with & sometimes make the illness worse. I like going for a walk without sidewalks moving or my head feeling like it’s floating in space, so please listen to me when I tell you about the side-effects!
I’ve had to deal with the arrogance of specialists who were more eager to make their point than actually HELP me & then double the very medication that was making me sick… even after I told them I couldn’t function! So, doctors, listen to your patients when they talk to you, if they are still able to talk when you’re done with them!
Drug companies, shame on you for advertising your medications as if they were cures! There is no cure, there is only hope & that is hard to hold on to when you’ve spent most of your life making excuses for yourself because people don’t understand. —Eternally Enraged

Good Luck OP, you are not alone. Keep working at it.
I found that the best help came from counseling, naturopathy, and good exercise like yoga and swimming. A doctors medication can do all sorts of things to a person, like extreme weight gain, memory loss, anxiety, and mood swings. None of which help when dealing with a mental illness, because lets be honest, who wants to go out in public if they look and feel like crap and are likely to have a public breakdown? As well, not a lot of people want to hang out with someone going through unpredictable mood swings. The support of friends, family, and community are some of the best medications on the market. Acceptance of a illness is the first step to healing.
Try the tanning bed OP… works wonders for me, bus strike or not 🙂
Luckily I’ve found a fantastic psychiatrist who actually asks my permission (seriously — he’ll say “with your permission, I’d like to try this particular treatment plan.*) before trying something.
Not everyone’s that lucky.
I’m doing ok these days, thankfully. No side effects from either medication I’m on (except a reduction in appetite and an increase in energy, which, let’s face it, are two things I won’t complain about) and I’m feeling a lot better. Not all anti depressants are bad.
Neither are tranqs, either. I take a small dose when I need one and it works wonders. I don’t pop them like candy, though. 30 pills lasts me 6+ months, sometimes even up to a year. And I can go months without getting a refill. I went a year in between prescriptions last time (between the time the prescription was finished and the time when I asked for another prescription).
Hang in there, OB. You’re not alone, and I really hope you find a treatment plan that helps you (and doctors who listen and don’t suck)!
It’s interesting to read medical and science journals that track the radical growth of mental illnesses in young people these days ( as well as other age demographics). They all have their own reasons for the steep incline in cases, I never know what to believe, but it is important to note that there is a dramatic increase. What could be causing this?
“There is NO cure, regardless of what you have read or seen on TV” Not true at all. check out ayahuasca.

change your diet OP and the level of exercise you’re getting.
Our chemically-driven diet has been proven to cause depression. Your doctors and pharmacists won’t tell you that. They want your money. But these chemicals are ENGINEERED to make you feel like shit so you’ll then go buy drugs.
By all means, do what you feel you have to do. But take my suggestion to heart. Cut way down on wheat and dairy and sugar. Don’t buy anything in packages or cans. Make sure your food is as fresh and comprehensive as possible. Exchange potatoes for sweet potatoes (potatoes contain a neurotoxin, did you know that?)
Don’t let them tell you what you have to do. Don’t put your life in their hands because op. They don’t care. Take a proactive stance. It DOES help, i promise.

Actually Ella, packaged and canned goods aren’t ALL bad for you. Sometime frozen fruits and vegetable are better then what you might buy from the fresh produce section of a Sobey’s or Superstore. They don’t require any spray on preservatives because they’re frozen, and are generally packaged much closer to their source. They’re less susceptible to rotting and molding. As well, they don’t lose minerals and nutrients from leeching out. A veggie sitting on the counter will lose these simply from the water evaporating from it, or leaves wilting and falling off. It’s not always easy to get ‘fresh food’, especially if you’re talking about something like fresh bananas. I don’t even think that’s possible in NS.
As far as the environment is concerned though, we shouldn’t rely on frozen or packaged food. The energy load from cooling all the frozen food we consume is astronomical. And then there’s the physical waste from the packaging.
“Clinical Armchair Psychologist Syndrome”, I guess we’re all effected a little bit by this one Orgasmatron.
good one, agent 195 ✔
email the doctors show, they might be able to help. either that, or a good head shrink.
Get 8 hours of sleep a night, eat right and lay off the booze and dope and you’ll be fine. Stop taking their “medication” they are so toxic. They also cause mental retardation, shortened lifespan, and a slew of physical diseases (cardiovasular, heart disease, diabetes). Meditation works way better than any pill. Ditch your shrink – all he can do for you is push his pen across a prescription pad. Like you said, there is no cure. We’re not even sure there are Mood disorders to begin with, as they cannot be verified through diagnostic tests of any kind.
yeah… you can do what all those chumps said…
or you can just stay the course and knock off a bit early.
what’s a few years in the end anyways?
I mean, you’ll live better since you won’t have to drag out cashing in that RRSP for quite so long….
No_Fool — WOW! Your dismissive attitude and oversimplification of the solution to a serious problem of which you clearly have no first hand experience wreaks of both arrogance and ignorance. I’m simply astounded by your gall.
Actually I have lots of experience. I cured my bipolar this way. I haven’t been on medication or had an episode in over 3 years. Get back to basics hun. Most people get episodes of mental illness when they are sleep deprived, on drugs/drinking too much, stressed, etc. Take care of your physical health and the mental health follows. It sounds simple and it is simple. I was forced into taking meds for 5 years and that fixed nothing. It only made me physically sick, caused weight gain, heart & thyroid problems and lost my period for a year. Thank god, since detoxing from this medication I’m back to a healthy state physically. A lot of people aren’t so lucky and get diabetes, liver problems, you name it. You want to bitch, yeah there’s a lot to bitch about I know. But you stick your nose up at my advice because of it’s simplicity? Fuck that, I’ll take simple any day over putting my life in the hands of money hungry shrinks!
I’m not sure about other mood disorders, but *clinical* depression *can* actually be measured objectively because it’s caused by low serotonin levels, which I assume is what the drugs are trying to correct.
I don’t mean to be intrusive no_fool, but was it BP1, or BP2? I managed the same feat as you (me suffering from BP2), but I don’t think someone could cure themselves from BP1. Also, I don’t think ‘cure’ is the appropriate term. More like well managed and in control from here on.
People need to make the distinction between being depressed due to environment (drugs, insomnia, home life), and suffering from depression. Easy to fix being depressed, hard to fix depression. It’s a testament to your willpower to come out of your state as well as you say.
There are no diagnostic tests for depression. No cat scan, biological tests, blood tests to prove any mental “disorder” exists. There is no proof of a chemical imbalance. There is no proof that they are brain diseases or hereditary. I had the Bipolar type that was more manic. But I experienced depression before a few times too. A lot of the times you need to take some Vitamin B and D or get out in the sunshine. And exercise creates endorphines, which make you happy naturally. No need for seritonin booster. It’s natures anti-depressant. Believe me, I’m not trying to make light of anyone’s struggle. I think a lot of people are brainwashed into thinking they have incurable brain diseases and need medication for life. People have emotions and feelings and moods. To label a person for life and try to poison them is just wrong. My “illness” would have been WAY better treated with a tylenol PM, a good meal and a long sleep.

You’re gonna hate on the potatos now … come on … I hope you’re not on the pill ’cause we don’t know about that one either …
Hippies …
*shrug*
… and may I add, I do think people are over medicated to a certain extent especially on the mental illness side of things but PLEASE people get your vaccinations and take your sickness meds all the way to completion.
Thanks.
Have not before, nor will I ever get a flu shot. Nuh-uh. Nope. Can’t make me.
Don’t believe in them for me. I’d get one and sure as shit I’d end up getting deathly ill. No thanks.
And besides, you really think I want that government tracking device embedded inside ME? Ha! – Not a chance!
Did you know, people in 3rd world countries who are diagnosed with Mental disorders have DRASTICALLY longer lifespans than diagnosed North Americans. Why? Because these “medications” aren’t available or as accessible in 3rd world countries.
The flu … that’s a touchy one Avast. I don’t get the flu one either. It’s pretty much hit or miss in the formulation of that one any way. However, I suggest (take that for what it’s worth :P) getting the others that are “required”.
… ladies, HPV one, GET IT PLZZZZZZZZZZ.
kthnxbai.
True story Donk. I avoid medication and vaccines, but it would be STOO-PID to not get the basics. Tetanus? Hepatitis? Ya know, the good ones.
“people in 3rd world countries who are diagnosed with Mental disorders have DRASTICALLY longer lifespans than diagnosed North Americans”
That’s because they are invariably the local narco-warlord cum President-For-Life in a place where 30 rounds of copper-jacketed 7.62 mm ammunition is synomous for “death by natural causes.”
They live to be like 70 and we live to be about 50 (people on psych meds anyway). They did studies on it.
so they can afford to go get diagnosed by a doctor so they can find out what’s wrong with them but have no way to afford treatment?
why the hell would I CARE what’s wrong with me if I am powerless to stop it regardless?
I can see why they have their share of mental problems…
the diagnosis they GIVE away….it’s the pills that are the Real money-maker
yeah, but still… if you couldn’t afford any medication…
why bother getting a diagnosis?
it’s not like they have options to alter their lifestyle dramatically in any way…
lucky for them

okay pilgrims, take 3 yellow, 2 blue, and 1 red pill to fix your blahs.

Your first post, Zilla made me cream my panties.
My thoughts exactly (though, i didn’t get the urge to be violent :P).
And you know what? ‘gasmatron’s link is 100% right. Everyone and their fucking DOG has an opinion on yo’ bizznizz.
Well these people don’t have to live your life. For example, I know how I feel when I’m on meds and when I’m not on meds. I know how I feel when I’m on certain meds and when I’m not on certain meds. I’m not living my life for YOU and neither is OB, so just STFU and take your shitty-intentioned, smug-ass ‘advice’ and shove it up your arses.
Some people have more gall than brains — I’ve even been told by a co worker that saw my bottle of pills in my office that I can decide to be happy if I really wanted to. Gee. I didn’t know curing clinical depression was that. fucking. easy! Give this person a nobel prize! And while you’re at it: TELL THEM TO STFU AND MIND THEIR OWN BUSINESS.
I’d MUCH rather feel the way I am now than feel the way I did before I started taking anti depressants, even if it means taking the medication.
(PS: I eat well, I get enough sleep and I exercise on a regular basis and I STILL have anxiety and depression when I’m not on any medication — and that’s WITH therapy, so suck it).
Donk – Lol. I’ve always thought that Tigger was the way he is because he ate Eyeore’s meds.
After outing Christopher Robin, blowing up Tigger’s meth lab, getting Eeyore hooked on VLT gambling and roofie-ing Piglet , the residents of Ashdown Forest took to referring to him as Winnie-The-Shit.
“just STFU and take your shitty-intentioned, smug-ass ‘advice’ and shove it up your arses. “
I guess people don’t want advice on here. They want to complain about how bad they have it. You can make all the excuses you like. A pill may make you feel better in the short term, but what is it doing to your body in the long term? A lot of things make you feel better for a while, beer, smoke a j…. sure maybe seritonin booster but its only a band-aid. It doesn’t cure anything. Studies show antidepressants actually cause suicidal thoughts. Perhaps you’re doing more harm than you think by taking the easy fix. It takes a lot more effort to get out of your own way. To put your sneakers on and force yourself to go for a walk when you’d rather pull the covers over your head and die. To practice positive cognitive thinking instead of letting negative thoughts take over. Pk I feel for anyone with mental health struggles. If you find my advice shitty-intenetioned or smug, that’s your call. But I will voice my opinions where ever I like and I won’t STFU. If my comments are not “cool” enough for you to cream your panties over or to be a part of the little bitch clique, I could care less. So BITE me
Eh. If NF was an expert in the area of mental health medications, she’d likely know that not all of these medications work on serotonin (and she’d be able to spell it properly too). So I don’t put too much weight on her critique of mental health treatments, zilla.
Further: the main concern as far as suicidal thoughts comes from giving anti depressants to those under 24. And the ailments ADs are used to treat can often cause suicidal thoughts themselves.
I’m not saying that everyone who’s on ADs need them. There’s a lot of over prescribing out there, but people need to mind their own fucking business. For me, ADs are NOT a ‘band aid’ solution. I’ve had my fair fucking share of therapy and I’ve done a lot of work to get where I am right now. How dare anyone tell me how to live my life! I’ve been on ADs for 10 years and OH HAY, my quality of life is better, I can think clearly, my life isn’t consumed with depression or searing fear caused from anxiety… in other words: I can actually function now.
But oh hay, I guess I’m not getting enough sleep (I sleep 12 hours a night) or eating properly (I’m a fucking diabetic and my sugar levels could fool any doctor into thinking I’m not).
And oh wait! Insulin can cause heart problems in the long run… therefore it MUST be a bandaid solution… My sugars are great now but, what about in the long run! I wonder if getting more sleep and eating better will make my dead beta cells spontaneously reanimate?
12 hours, DOOD maybe you getz too much?
Nah. i function much better on 12 hours as opposed to just 8. I’m tired as ol’ frig on 8 hours.
If medications didn’t have significant health benefits for the majority of people, then they wouldn’t be approved, although I admit that sometimes one or two medications might slip through the cracks for various reasons. The government is by no means perfect and infallible. 😛
Dude, WTF are you talking about? Who said anything about Jewish people? You and PK need to get a room, between her panties and your off-topic holocaust rants – Maybe if you two team up and put your heads together, you can actually make sense. Some medications are proven to work and cure physical diseases. However, Psych meds are NOT proven to work. That’s fact, not hippyshit.
Was your diabetes brought on by medication or weight gain side effect? Or did you have it before you were treated with psych meds? And duh I know not ALL psych meds are serotonin boosters – only the antidepressants are. As depression is the topic at hand, I didn’t think I needed to spell that out. PK nobody’s tellin you how to live your life. I’m sharing info I’ve learned with people who are open to receive it. It was not addressed to you – so go pop a happy pill and go back to bed
no-fool, in your initial post you asserted that mood disorders were curable with proper rest and nutrition, abstinence from drugs and alcohol, and mediation. You also advised patients to stop seeing their medical professionals. I made my thoughts clear on that post earlier.
You have since added the use of cognitive therapy to your suggested treatment plan. I say this only to highlight my earlier point that your initial cut and dried, three step guide to curing depression was oversimplified, as I said.
I would also like to point out that your statement, “I cured my bi-polar” acknowledges the fact that the pathology of mood disorders are unique to each individual; as a result, so is the treatment. What worked for you may not work for others.
While I do not, and never did, dispute the fact that health in general is positively impacted by good diet, rest and exercise among other things, I still believe that you’re an arrogant blowhard. Perhaps you ought consider revisiting your shrink to help you with that one, if that’s even possible.
My diabetes was brought on as a child when my immune system decided my insulin-producing beta cells were bad and shit. Because who needs insulin anyway? hahaha
I have type one diabetes, not type two (type two is associated with excess fat), and I’ve had it long before I was on anti depressants. And in fact, I’ve lost weight on anti depressants. I’m 30lbs lighter from before ADs in 2002 and now. Type one diabetes is generally unavoidable and research suggests it’s caused by any old virus that triggers your immune system to start attacking parts of the body (in this case insulin producing cells in the pancreas). It’s an issue of autoimmunity, not obesity.
Also: there are different classes of anti depressants, NF, FYI (that’s what i meant when I said not all meds work on serotonin): SSRIs (paxil, prozac, luvox, zoloft, celexa, cipralix, etc…), SNRIs (effexor) and SDRIs (wellbutrin). All work on different chemicals. In fact, i don’t even take an SSRI, I take an SNRI and an SDRI. I don’t even touch SSRIs. Only one I haven’t been on is prozac. I’ve spent years looking for the right balance of meds that even things out. It’s not only class of meds, either, it’s type of med within each class and then there’s the issue of dosing and getting it just right so you neither feel like an anxious ball of crap nor high as a goddamned kite! For me it was anything but the easy way out. Esp since I’ve gone through years of therapy (bad therapy, good therapy — there are tons of shitty psychiatrists and psychologist out there who can do just as much damage to a person than an anti depressant can).
I understand you’re just trying to help, NF, but just know that there are plenty of us out there who need to be on anti depressants to have any quality of life at all.
Clinical depression is a very slippery illness to treat. Treating the human mind is not like setting bones or sewing up wounds. Medical science is just beginning to grasp brain chemistry, the effect of mental health on physical health and vice versa, not to mention the impacts of events on psychological development.
As OP can attest to, the side-effects of anti-depressants can be as bad as the illness itself. However, some people do better with this medication. Is it in their head (no pun intended)? Maybe but probably not. I know my brother suffered from depression and have tremendous mood swings and days when he could not even get off the couch. Once he found the right medication, he was a new person.
I understand what no_fool is saying and I am a strong believer in proper diet, exercise and meditation in maintaining good physical and mental health but that’s not enough for everybody.
I’d rather be a blowhard than a suck-hole. Or a sheep walking the plank blindfolded. No thanks, I don’t think I’ll be talking to my old brainwasher of a shrink again. Unless it is in court RE: a malpractice suit. I was forced to take over 20 different drugs over a 5 year period. These drugs made me gain a hundred pounds (Zyprexa) I had to take pre-diabetes meds, heart meds, thyroid meds, I was practically infertile (no periods). I had NO physical disorders before psychiatric treatment. I could have died from how they poisoned me for years. The shrinks did not like that I left and tried to put me on a community treatment order when they heard I was going off the meds. I slowly detoxed (with help of family dr.) and every physical ailment eventually fixed itself. The weight fell off, the thyroid regulated itself, the heart meds were no longer necessary nor were the diabetes meds needed any longer. You wouldn’t go to a psychiatrist for cognitive therapy, you would see a psychologist for that. Shrinks only ask you questions about their pills. The SAME damn questions every month and then you get your prescription renewed. How is that work? It shouldn’t even be called therapy, it should be called “medication interview” I already know what she would say if I went back: “Are you still taking your pills” Do you take you pills EVERY day at the same time? Are you sure you’re not skipping any doses?…Hmmm maybe its time to up your dosage…” FACE the music already – The only thing these drugs help is the thickness of wallets of those prescribing them.
I really do like you, No fool, but… zilla took the words right out of my mouth.
Just because you had a shitty psychiatrist and a shitty experience, doesn’t mean every mentally ill person has the same experience. I’ve had a few shitty psychologists and a couple bad psychiatrists, but I didn’t give up and I’m half way there (I had to give up my good psychologist because I graduated the school she worked at, but my current psychiatrist is *awesome*).
I haven’t experienced ANY side effects on any of the medication I’m currently on, except an increase in energy, which is likely due to the fact that I’m not depressed and I’m not expending unnecessary energy on being anxious or with ridiculous OCD compulsions.
I went from washing my hands with bleach (BLEACH! I washed my damn hands with bleach until they bled at one point!) and spending days paralyzed with fear to functioning like a normal human being who can hold down a job, isn’t spending hours checking appliances every day to make sure they’re unplugged so my apartment doesn’t catch on fire and is actually *gasp* HAPPY!
There are still times when I have depressive episodes and I still have panic attacks here or there — it’s still a struggle and it’s never going to be ‘cured.’ But my quality of life is SO much better now. I spent 6 months off medication after 5 years of being on it. After the 6 months, my psychologist who is quite anti-medication actually wrote a letter to my family doc telling her I should be evaluated for medication as part of my overall treatment. Some people NEED this stuff and *gasp* for some people it ACTUALLY WORKS.
At least I recognize that different people have different experiences and that medication doesn’t work for everyone! That goes for pretty much anything too — some people are fine on NPH insulin, for example, but I wasn’t, so I went on Lantus and instead of 20+ hypoglycemic episodes a week, I’ve had one in the past three months. For some people, lantus isn’t as effective as NPH.
Every body’s different.
PK; Thanks for sharing this. Your honesty is refreshing.
Bitchez: Please have a summit soon. When you do, will you (each) bring a pretty little pill container as a birthday gift for PK? Oh, and maybe a tiara as well…☺
Kitty, you will then have a nice array of pretty containers for your meds. Please do not leave prescription bottles on your desk at your place of work.
One day mental illnesses will be seen as no different from say, a sprained wrist. That day is not here, however; there is still a stigma attached. You don’t need your co-workers making judgements and speculations based on what medications you are taking. It’s none of their business.
i take one of the drugs on your list miss kitty, works for me. i’m still trucking and haven’t killed anyone http://metadiary.files.wordpress.com/2011/…
Thanks, xeno. My desk is actually in an area that no one’s really supposed to be in — my office is pretty much off limits, but sometimes some nosy parker comes around looking for office supplies to scoff.
I now lock up all my shit when I’m away from my desk and have ordered locks for my assistants’ desks.
OK, then!
(I’m so paranoid I scrape the labels off antibiotics before I recycle them, so it kinda jumped out at me…)
I should be on meds…
“I’m on the zoloft to keep from killing y’all…”

Reading all these personal attacks is making me a lil’ depressed… RELAPSE!
Had a goooooood sleep last night and a piece of chicken – so today ME HAPPY!
Here are some actual Psychiatrists telling you what their business is really all about. Don’t listen to me – hear it straight from the horses mouth.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atsCp2SErog
I really don’t see why you can’t grasp this concept, NF — you seem smart enough: psychiatry and psychiatric medications help some of us function better. They help some of us be happy. They help some of us have a better quality of life.
I don’t care how the fuck they work, as long as they work. And they work for me. Some don’t, but the ones I’m on DO. I’d rather be on medication than go through life the way I was before 10 years ago.
You’re perfectly entitled to have your narrow-minded opinion based on your one personal experience, but getting enough sleep and eating properly isn’t going to cure everyone’s mental illness.
PS: zed, maybe you SHOULD try an anti depressant, lolz. If anyone could benefit from SOMETHING, it’s you… but — zoloft is one fuck of a fucktard SSRI. I was on it for three days. THREE. And all of my feelings went away and I was ravenously hungry like I was hypoglycemic. I threw that shit in the garbage. I know a few other people with similar experiences. I’m surprised Iron Mike DIDN’T kill someone while on zoloft.
Drugs are bad mmmmkaaaaaayyyy. All drugs are mmmmmmKaaaaayyyy.
Well that’s your opinion pk…mine is different. Some people need heroin to feel better, but that doesn’t mean it’s good for them.
And yes, I just compared psych meds to heroin. Seeing as they’re in the same Chemical family as pesticides.
Well at least I recognize the fact that there’s no one-size-fits-all treatment for mental illness.
I have a friend who’s on paxil and is doing great. I was on paxil and it made me extremely tired. I have another friend who’s able to treat his depression through talk therapy. I have never been able to treat my anxiety and depression through therapy alone. What works for one might not work for others.
All you do is harp on and on about how you didn’t need medication to ‘cure’ your bi polar disorder — you just started sleeping more and eating better, so if it worked for you, than it SHOULD BE WORKING FOR EVERYONE ELSE OMG WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?
Who died and made you the authority of all human physiology?
eat when your hungry, sleep when your tired & get up off your sad pathetic ass & go make something of yourself.
THat was my momma’s advice when I was depressed & in a complete funk at 19 or 20 years of age.
So I stopped feeling sorry for my sad pathetic existence took her advise got up & got moving.
Not that I’m putting down medication, I’ve always found booze & pot in moderation makes relaxing at the end of a day easier ~;p
NO Fool, I agree many perhaps most doctors over medicate. I hurt my back just before xmas. I did it at work & at first thought I may have poulled or hurt my self internally.
But there was no blood in the urine, everything seemed to be working just a sharp ball of pain, in my lower left side.
I waited a couple days made a doctor’s appointment, met with one of her students first (my doc is part of the Dept of Family medicine where new doctors practice under an experienced Doc) First thing he wanted to know was what, if any medications I was alergic to so he could prescribe pain med’s !
Fuck that Doc I don’t want no med’s for pain.
Just check my spine x-ray me if required fill out the workers comp sheet & get me out & back to work.
BUT NO-FOOL, ever since the lobbyists at big PHARMA, got the laws passed in Canada & the USA that all diseases had to be treated by doctor’s & could only be treated by big pharma drugs.
The next fucking day, acne was a disease, obesity was a desease, a fucking ingrown toenail…you got a disease & need drugs ! ! !
Its all a fucking scam & it is 100% all about the money.
IT is exactly why there is NO CURE for diabetes,they can only treat it.
No cure for anything except they accidentally found a cure for polio & I don’t believe anyone knows where they burried the poor bastard who made the mistake & gave us a cure.
Because there is NO MONEY IN CURING US. The money, the real money is in “TREATMENT” & if you don’t know that folks… you are a fool.
… may I just say … finding cures for everything is not easy. There is no cure (med) for Polio. A diabetes cure would require making the body able to synthesize something that it has lost function to do properly/respond to it. With this you get into gene therapy … which for good reason is extremely hard to work with especially in animal models. I think we’ve come extremely far in making insulin available via other means.
Mr. More I do agree, it is good to keep a healthy balance of scepticism however, the world is not trying to screw with everyone all the time.

About 3 years ago, I used to watch these videos of a girl who called herself SF Jane (Jane Alexander). She was a psychology student who had a vlog about how she cured her Bipolar and depression without medication. She was a strong believer in meditation. I used to think meditation was for granola eaters and shit till I realized how much sense she made. She said when she meditated she listened for psychotic / negative /irrational thoughts like she was waiting for an intruder in the night. I tried to find her vlog again to share with you guys, but she turned it into a book. It was featured on the news. I think its great that someone is helping so many people escape the clutches of these criminals and heal themselves. My opinions are not based on just my ONE personal experience, I have listened to many other people who spent years as a lab rat and got nowhere. See Jane Talk:
