A Brief History of Anxiety (Yours and Mine)

Patricia Pearson returns to non-fiction with a witty, insightful and highly personal look at recognizing and coping with fears and anxieties in our contemporary world. The millions of North Americans who silently cope with anxiety at last have a witty, articulate champion in Patricia Pearson, who shows that the anxious are hardly “nervous nellies” with “weak characters” who just need medicine and a pat on the head. Instead, Pearson questions what it is about today’s culture that is making people anxious, and offers some surprising answers–as well as some inspiring solutions based on her own fierce battle to drive the beast away. Drawing on personal episodes of incapacitating dread as a vivid, often hilarious guide to her quest to understand this most ancient of human emotions, Pearson delves into the history and geography of anxiety. Why are North Americans so much more likely to suffer than Latin Americans? Why did Darwin treat hypochondria with sprays from a hose? Why have we forgotten the insights of some of our greatest philosophers, theologians and psychologists in favor of prescribing addictive drugs? In this blend of fascinating reportage and poignant memoir, Pearson ends with her struggle to withdraw from antidepressants and to find more self-aware and philosophically-grounded ways to strengthen the soul. From the Hardcover edition.

Dementia-Related Agitation – Part Two: Treatment

Half-Hour Hot Topics session from June 14, 2019, with John Donaldson, D.O.

The Nemechek Protocol for Autism and Developmental Disorders

The Nemechek Protocol for Autism and Developmental Delay is the most scientific and refined approach to reversing the devastating effects of autism, ADD, ADHD, SPD and the myriad of other developmental disorders. Dr. Nemechek’s approach frequently triggers rapid and often breath-taking improvements in children within only a few weeks. And surprisingly, the protocol employs common and natural supplements, and avoids the countless homeopathic remedies and antibiotics frequently prescribed to children that are often both toxic and expensive. Within a few days of starting the protocol many children will experience a connectedness to their surrounds never previously experienced. Significant improvements in motor, sensory and speech delays are realized within the first few weeks. Attention and learning disabilities rapidly begin to resolve within the first few weeks to months as the child’s brain restores neuronal pathways damaged by the physical, emotional and inflammatory traumas commonly experienced in childhood. Through a simple 2-step process of re-balancing intestinal bacteria and omega fatty acids, Dr. Nemechek has discovered how to re-activate the brain’s neuronal pruning and repair processes thereby allowing a child’s brain to begin repairing past injuries and developing correctly. Re-balancing intestinal bacteria also eliminates the excessive production of propionic acid that is responsible for the disconnected and often strange behaviors that are highly characteristic of autism. With the help of Jean Nemechek’s writing and editing style, the complexities of omega fatty acids restoration, intestinal bacteriology, autonomic restoration and cumulative brain injury are translated into processes that are easily understandable to the non-scientist. This book is a complete how-to guide outlining the specific supplements and dosages employed by Dr. Nemechek in the treatment of his patients. Readers will learn Dr. Nemechek’s step-by-step method of reversing autism and other developmental disorders. Included are specific chapters dealing with relapses, addressing the use of antibiotics, strategies for prevention as well as future vaccinations. The rapid rate of improvement seen with The Nemechek Protocol has caused it to become one of the fastest growing treatment options for children around the world. Thousands of families around the world are benefitting from this safe, inexpensive and highly effective treatment for the devastating problems commonly affecting children today. The phrase “Miracles do Happen” has never been as true when witnessing children regain speech within a few weeks to months after utilizing The Nemechek Protocol.

Put Anxiety Behind You

Everyone is affected by anxiety, whether their own or that of an anxious loved one, colleague, boss, or friend. According to the NIMH, nearly 20% of all American adults (40 million) experience an anxiety disorder in any given year–including panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and related phobias. In Put Anxiety Behind You, naturopathic doctor and licensed acupuncturist Peter Bongiorno offers a holistic approach for healing from these disorders and avoiding relapse. In a warm and compassionate tone, this book addresses causes, provides perspective, and offers natural remedies that work quickly and without any nasty side effects. Readers will learn about the many possible underlying causes for their anxiety–biochemical, physical, situational, spiritual, etc.–and will find suggestions for non-pharmaceutical remedies including specific nutrients, plant-based medicines, yoga poses, massage techniques, exercises, and acupuncture/acupressure points to try on their own for lasting relief. Bongiorno also tackles how to safely wean from anti-anxiety medication and how to supplement conventional medications with herbal and other natural remedies to increase efficacy and reduce side effects. Dr. Bongiorno recounts his own battle with anxiety and throughout the book shares his own experiences to help readers realize that anxiety can be a positive thing that becomes an inspiration and helps move us forward in a happier, calm life.

David Sirota: Texas is ground zero of corporate terrorism

http://twitter.com/#!/davidsirota/status/333364678690480128

There you go: if you wait long enough, eventually as many Texans will die of workplace accidents as Americans died on 9/11. What possible connection could there be between the two? David Sirota has the answer: Sept. 11 was the result of religious terrorism, while workplace deaths are the result of corporate terrorism, which apparently runs rampant in the absence of government oversight and regulation.

Where did this latest outrage come from? The New York Times implied this week in many, many words what cartoonist Jack Ohman managed to convey in one panel in his ghoulish “Business is booming” cartoon:  Gov. Rick Perry and the GOP don’t care who dies if they can make a buck.

This antiregulatory zeal is an outgrowth of a broader Texas ideology: that government should get out of people’s lives, a deeply held belief throughout the state that touches many aspects of life here, including its gun culture, its Republican-dominated Legislature and its cowboy past and present.

So, would stronger government oversight have prevented that fertilizer plant explosion in West, Texas? The New York Times admits, “It is impossible to know whether tougher regulations would have prevented the disaster near West, especially since investigators remain unsure what sparked the fire that caused the fertilizer to explode.” But, corporate terrorism.

We reacted to 9/11 w/big spending on anti-terrorism regs/enforcement. We react to 9/11 levels of workplace death w/ more deregulation.

— David Sirota (@davidsirota) May 11, 2013

Religious terrorism prompts spending on security/safety. Corporate terrorism prompts budget cuts/dereg & less workplace safety/security.

— David Sirota (@davidsirota) May 11, 2013

Caution: disagreeing with David Sirota is an admission of stupidity and will likely result in a blocking.

@davidsirota For an “objective” look at Texas, you can always count on the Times! We Texans are really scared now!

— Ross Pollack (@Ross_Pollack) May 11, 2013

@ross_pollack facts are inconvenient. When u have some, let us know. Otherwise ur shoot-the-messenger misdirect is an admission of stupidity

— David Sirota (@davidsirota) May 11, 2013

@davidsirota The NYT did not state per capita deaths, which is an inaccurate representation of the situation. Stupid.

— Ross Pollack (@Ross_Pollack) May 12, 2013

@davidsirota would have also liked the author to state the per capita accident rate…

— paul zoric (@PZoric) May 11, 2013

True, the Times report refers only to raw numbers from the second most populous state in America, not percentages, and compares Texas to only one other state, Illinois. What more proof of a direct correlation do you need, stupid?

.@davidsirota You realize, of course, that the “article” you linked is utter bullshit, right? We have fire codes here. Lol.

— MavTwitmo (@TxTruth09) May 11, 2013

@txtruth09 facts are inconvenient. You have none so you deny them. That misdirect is an admission of stupidity.

— David Sirota (@davidsirota) May 11, 2013

I love this response to Texas leading America in workplace death – it is so revealing about the Idiocracy: twitter.com/txtruth09/stat…

— David Sirota (@davidsirota) May 11, 2013

We now pause for a quick reading comprehension break:

@davidsirota That guy was responding to the person who said Texas was worse to live than Mississippi, not to your link about workplace death

— JF (@IMaylinNow) May 12, 2013

Yes, he was.

@davidsirota Perry calls his agenda the “Texas Miracle” because it did the impossible. It created a worse place to live than Mississippi.

— TonyD (@Dogger55) May 11, 2013

.@dogger55 Absolutely ridiculous. Texas is an awesome place to live. @davidsirota

— MavTwitmo (@TxTruth09) May 11, 2013

White privilege apparently includes the right to take people out of context to ridicule them.

Facts: TX leads nation in workplace death. Response from TX GOPer: “But…but…Texas is awesome!” twitter.com/txtruth09/stat…
