That dihydrogen monoxide is some serious stuff. I heard that it kills a countless number of people every year at almost every part of the globe.

Yet it is still perfectly legal and, in some places at least, you can buy and sell it with impunity.


You're quite correct and everyone should be aware of just how lethal dihydrogen monoxide is. It has been implicated in every single school shooting and apparently school staff admit they have no idea how much of this stuff is ingested by pupils on a daily basis.

Fortunately there is a growing movement to get dihydrogen monoxide banned, or at the very least highly regulated and prescribed. Find out more here.


yes, i've managed to completely cut out the dihydrogen monoxide. i replaced it with ethyl hydroxide and feel much better now :D

Blaming anti-psych medication for psychopathic behaviour is like blaming aspartame for making people fat. Mentally ill people take meds for there condition, just as overweight people drink diet soda. I'm fortunate enough that my symptoms are mild enough that I never have had to be prescribed medication to treat my tic disorder. But if I ever did, it would be to try to regulate an impairment in my dopamine, which interferes with neurological functioning. There are people who have even worse neurological conditions than Tourette's too, like Parkinson's. Are you suggesting that those like Michael J. Fox are wrong to treat there disorder? I have also had mental depression as well, and it is much more than just simple grief. It is not always caused entirely by external trauma. And it causes other symptoms than just psychological. It also causes tiredness, and loss/increase of appetite. I actually lost 32 pounds, after my period of depression. If I hadn't been heavy to begin with, I'd have been anorexic. So don't be judging people onless you've been in there situation.

I found an article related to ADHD at google news. Its below in this message.

The way that people live their lives in our competitive busy modern world looks like one of the main factors in contribution to mental disorders. Medications are just there to mask the symptoms. A more holistic approach which may even be open to temporary medication is towards a better ideal. Brain chemistry is not corrected with medicine. The medicine actually causes an imbalance: there are no physical tests for mental disorders and the only ones that are accurate are the ones that are actual neurological exams but these have to do with organic disease - not mental disorders. But people can easily beleive that medications makes them better so that contributes to the miracle cure of our phamaceutical mind-altering medications that we have in society: we rarely prescribed this kind of stuff decades ago. But culture has changed.

The brain is vulnerable to mental impairment when drugs are administered - Depending on the drugs effect on ones particular brain chemistry. At that, other drugs are given to mask the untoward effects of the other medicine.

Stimulant/amphetamine drugs may be combined with anti-depressants or anti-psychotics. But this may give unpredictable results. Many people may stop there medications because of the untoward side-effects of medications. Being over-medicated can obviously also cause problems. This is the thing that is abusive about it at the least.

This article should illuminate the truth in this: http://www.breggin.com/spellbinding_psy ... tract.html

The author of the article below gives us an idea of the kinds of cultural influences are out there:

Dr. Peter Breggin is a noted Anti-psych and far.......FAR from the mainstream with regards to medical healthcare. This is a psychiatrist who in some 30 plus years of practice never wrote a script...ever. Anything stated by him should be considered circumspect.

tortoise, Peter breggin does get cursed at because he is not mainstream. Poor doctor breggin...

If you are a scientologist or christian or are anti-psych then, as far as I know, its all the same to the media. So I don't think that it matters to the media. If you want to get attention from the mainstream then you know what you have to do: "take medicine". But I am very open about what I think so I express it and have posted this in response to this thread.

To have something in common with him(Dr. breggin), I guess, is to be like Tom cruise and just speak your mind: to do this with the same intentions which would be to not be mainstream.

The main thing that I have in mind if I collect this information is to come accross as somebody that can show how psychiatrists and american culture wants people to conform to their standards. I think that this is similar in the educational system with their curriculum and their class-room rules.

There is a difference between conforming and having more freedoms: It has do with who we are and questioning who we want to be without too many external influences.
