How to Get Off Psych Drugs

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

Psych drugs such as Ritalin can be incredibly addictive, and can create a host of problems when someone tries to come off of them and go back to a normal life. There are several websites that have been set up to help people do that, offering tried and true advice. One of the best is Point of Return. If you need motivation to do so, check out the CCHR website and watch any of their videos.

And for an inspirational book about getting off of psych drugs, see Alesandra’s book, Deeds of Trust.

Click that link for details. Ignatius Piazza puts his money where his mouth is. He wants to see more responsible citizens armed and capable, carrying concealed weapons (which they know very well how to …

Barack Obama endorses “Mother’s Act”

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008

A letter sent from Barack Obama says he is fully behind the Mother’s Act, which would require “mental health” screening of all pregnant women and new mothers. Of course the only result from such screening is more drugs being sold by Big Pharma, who are the powers behind this particularly nasty piece of legislation. Don’t forget that, despite their PR to the contrary, the drugs on which they put women who are “screened” in this fashion have serious side effects, including suicidal ideation (thoughts of killing oneself) and homicidal ideation (thoughts of killing others). Basically psych drugs can often stop …
