Charlie Sheen's amazing publicity stunt

Subtitle: Celebrities' amazing turn-arounds

Occasionally it's nice to be superficial  on this blog. Getting out daily posts that try to shed a little light on the upside of schizophrenia --  a "serious mental illness" according to psychiatrists and pharma--is tough slogging.



A lot more rooted in reality
What is his secret?

Charlie Sheen says that last year's headline-making antics are indeed a thing of the past.

I'm not crazy anymore. That was an episode," Sheen says, laughing, as he spoke with reporters at Sunday night's Fox Network Television Critics Association party in Pasadena, Calif. "I think I'm a different person than I was yesterday. Everything is a lot more mellow and focused and much more rooted in reality."


Sheen, 46, couldn't be more Zen about his new FX show, "Anger Management," in which he will star and produce. He reports that casting is underway and that they will shoot 10 episodes in six weeks.

Apoyo en el seno cuando el modelo bioquímico de la enfermedad es rechazado

Estimado Rossa,

Usted sólo respondió a mis plegarias. Acabo de leer su blog sobre el tratamiento mejor y más barata alternativa para schz ... y tenía todas las respuestas que estaba preguntando. A veces me pregunto si lo que estoy haciendo está mal, porque mi hija no sale nada, y ya no me obligue a ir a su sesión. En su lugar, tengo que pagar a una chica de su edad para venir a visitar y escuchar a ella, aunque ella no quiere hablar. Como no me llevo a mi hija a cualquier terapeuta, de alguna manera me siento solo, solo confiando en tu blog y lo que he leído de otros libros. Leyendo sobre Catalina Penney del libro "Cura de Dante", y sabiendo que ella se recuperó, mientras que vivir en una habitación bajo vigilancia durante 3 años, y ver a su médico medsfree casi todos los días en el hospital, me da esperanza. Como has dicho, me pueden estimular el crecimiento en el país. Si mi hija no quiere salir de la casa, que puede llevar a la gente a su ayudante como una danza, o un amigo a prestar un oído atento.
Hasta el momento, creo que ella es feliz en su casa, canta, escucha música, ve televisión, come alimentos saludables cuando quiere, escribe en un cuaderno, dibuja, habla con su hermano, quien se encuentra en México a través de Skype, su hermana le visita, y está dispuesto a salir con ella, y, a veces quiere hacer algunas tareas. Me siento aliviado de que ella no va a salir, tratando de ir a los patios traseros de otras personas. El complejo de apartamentos junto a la nuestra poner un cartel "no tresspassing o va a llamar a la policía" Creo que fue puesto a mi hija, porque el verano pasado iba a ir allí, pero no causó ningún problema, pero yo todavía lloro cuando veo ese signo.

Por favor, seguir recordando a los demás en su blog que la alternativa mejor y más barata está en casa. En California, el SSI y el IHSS provee fondos para cuidados en el hogar. Ellos requieren que la persona vea un médico o terapeuta para obtener un diagnóstico y una revisión anual. Voy a tener que llevar a mi hija a la terapia de nuevo a tiempo para la revisión anual, y que está bien. Son terapeutas www.medsfree.com, ya pesar de que mi hija es un buen negocio para ellos, ahora, veo que el hogar es mejor para ella.

Abrazos,
"María" *

PD Además, si es útil, me gustaría hablar con un abogado, y psiquiátricos sobreviviente Ted Chabasinski que me ha ayudado a rescatar a mi hija de muchos hospitales de un donativo. Si alguien quiere más información, no dude en consultar a mí.

Support indefra når biokemiske model af sygdommen er afvist

My Danish readers will soon tell me if Gøøgle Translate did a faithful translatiøn of their language. I have reprinted my pøst from today into Danish (At least, I høpe it's Danish - I thought there are supposed to be more øø - or is that for Norwegian? LOL) If this experiment goes well, I'll do some further translations into Spanish, Chinese, Hindi, etc. I apologize in advance for overloading your inbox. I hope any errors in the text are humorous one!

Kære Rossa,

Du har lige besvaret mine bønner. Jeg har lige læst din blog om den bedste og billigste alternativ behandling for schz ... og det havde alle de svar, jeg tænkte på om. Nogle gange har jeg spekulerer på, om hvad jeg gør, er forkert, fordi min datter ikke gå ud på alle, og ikke længere jeg tvinge hende til at gå til hendes session. I stedet betaler jeg en pige hendes alder at komme besøge og lytte til hende, selvom hun ikke ønsker at tale. Da jeg ikke tage min datter til en terapeut, en eller anden måde føler jeg alene, bare stole på din blog, og hvad jeg læser fra andre bøger. Bare at læse om Catherine Penney fra bogen "Dantes Cure", og vel vidende, at hun genvundet, mens de bor i en lukket afdeling i 3 år, og se hans medsfree læge næsten hver dag på hospitalet, giver mig håb. Ligesom du sagde, jeg kan fremme væksten derhjemme. Hvis min datter ikke ønsker at gå ud af huset, kan jeg bringe mennesker til hende som en dans hjælper, eller en ven til at låne et lyttende øre.

Indtil videre synes jeg hun er glad derhjemme, synger, lytter til musik, ser tv, spiser sund mad, når hun ønsker, skriver i notesbøger, trækker billeder, taler med hendes bror, som er i Mexico via Skype, hendes søster besøger hende, og er villig til at gå ud med hende, og nogle gange ønsker at gøre nogle pligter. Jeg føler mig lettet over, at hun ikke går ud og prøver at gå til andre folks baghaver. Lejlighedskomplekset ved siden af ​​vores, sætte et skilt "nej tresspassing eller vil ringe til politiet:" Jeg tror det var placeret i forhold til min datter, fordi sidste sommer, at hun ville gå der, men aldrig voldt problemer, men jeg stadig græde når jeg ser dette tegn.

Vær holde minde andre i din blog, at den bedste og billigste alternativ er hjemme. I Californien, leverer SSI og IHSS midler til pleje i hjemmet. De kræver en person for at se enten en læge eller terapeut for en diagnose og en årlig gennemgang. Jeg bliver nødt til at tage min datter at se terapeuten igen tid for den årlige gennemgang, og det er ok. De er www.medsfree.com terapeuter, og selvom min datter er en god forretning for dem, lige nu, ser jeg, at hjemmet er bedre for hende.

Hugs,

"Maria" *

P.S. Også, hvis det er nyttigt, vil jeg gerne have, at nævne en advokat, og psykiatriske overlevende Ted Chabasinski som har hjulpet mig med at redde min datter fra mange hospitaler for bare en donation. Hvis nogen ønsker mere information, er du velkommen til at henvise dem til mig.

Support from within when the biochemical model of the illness is rejected

Dear Rossa,

You just answered my prayers. I just read your blog about the best and cheapest alternative therapy for schz...and it had all the answers that I was wondering about. Sometimes I wonder if what I am doing is wrong, because my daughter does not go out at all, and no longer I force her to go to her session. Instead , I pay a girl her age to come visit and listen to her, even though she doesn't want to talk. Since I don't take my daughter to any therapist, somehow I feel alone, just relying in your blog and what I read from other books. Just reading about Catherine Penney from the book "Dante's Cure", and knowing that she recovered while living in a locked ward for 3 years, and seeing his medsfree doctor almost everyday in the hospital, gives me hope. Like you said, I can encourage growth at home. If my daughter does not want to go out of the house, I can bring people to her such as a dance helper, or a friend to lend a listening ear.

So far, I think she is happy at home, sings, listens to music, watches tv, eats healthy food when she wants, writes in notebooks, draws pictures, talks to her brother who is in Mexico thru skype, her sister visits her, and is willing to go out with her, and sometimes wants to do some chores. I feel relieved that she is not going out, trying to go to other peoples backyards. The apartment complex next to ours put a sign "no tresspassing or will call police" I think it was placed for my daughter because last summer she would go there, but never caused any problems, but I still cry when I see that sign.

Please keep reminding others in your blog that the best and cheapest alternative is home. In California, SSI and IHSS provides funds to care at home. They DO require the person to see either a doctor or therapist for a diagnosis and a yearly review. I will have to take my daughter to see the therapist again in time for the yearly review, and it is ok. They are www.medsfree.com therapists, and even though my daughter is a good business for them, right now, I see that home is better for her.

Hugs,
"Maria"*

P.S. Also, if it is helpful, I would like you to mention a lawyer, and psychiatric survivor Ted Chabasinski who has helped me rescue my daughter from many hospitals for just a donation. If anyone would like more information, feel free to refer them to me.

Friedrich Nietzsche 1844-1900

To predict the behavior of ordinary people in advance, you only have to assume that they will always try to escape a disagreeable situation with the smallest possible expenditure of intelligence.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Insanity in individuals is something rare - but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule.
Friedrich Nietzsche

But thus do I counsel you, my friends: distrust all in whom the impulse to punish is powerful!
Friedrich Nietzsche, Also Sprach Zarathustra, Chapter 29

No price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.
Friedrich Nietzsche

To forget one's purpose is the commonest form of stupidity.
Friedrich Nietzsche

You need chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star.
Friedrich Nietzsche

There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.
Friedrich Nietzsche, "On Reading and Writing"

What is done out of love always takes place beyond good and evil.
Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil, Aphorism 153

The greatest danger that always hovered over humanity and still hovers over it is the eruption of madness - which means the eruption of arbitrariness in feeling, seeing and hearing, the enjoyment of the mind's lack of discipline, the joy in human unreason. Not truth and certainty are the opposite of the world of the madman, but the universality and the universal binding force of a faith; in sum, the non-arbitrary character of judgements... Thus the virtuous intellects are needed - oh, let me use the most unambiguous word - what is needed is virtuous stupidity, stolid metronomes for the slow spirit, to make sure that the faithful of the great shared faith stay together and continue their dance... We others are the exception and the danger - and we need eternally to be opposed. - Well, there actually are things to be said in favor of the exception, provided that it never wants to become the rule.
Friedrich Nietzsche, The Gay Science, s. 76

From Wikipedia
Nietzsche's influence remains substantial within and beyond philosophy, notably in existentialism, nihilism and postmodernism. His style and radical questioning of the value and objectivity of truth have resulted in much commentary and interpretation, mostly in the continental tradition. His key ideas include the death of God, perspectivism, the Übermensch, amor fati, the eternal recurrence, and the will to power. Central to his philosophy is the idea of "life-affirmation", which involves an honest questioning of all doctrines that drain life's expansive energies, however socially prevalent those views might be.[

Taoist alchemists and trigeminal neuralgia: two testimonials

Two testimonials, underscoring the value of alternative healing, vitamins, and belief.

Testimonial 1
Dogkisses's blog author Michelle, writes about her experience with a Taoist alchemist in her post entitled One Beet a Day. To find out about the beets, you'd better read the rest of her post.

The first time we met was to talk about my son. Of course, this led to discussing my son’s childhood, background and me. I was in his office for my own treatments shortly afterward.

My toes had hurt for a while. I kept waking up in the night feeling like somebody was pulling my toenails with pliers. It was extremely painful!

I briefly mentioned this pain, but I wasn’t there for the toe pain. I was there to figure out how to help my son. I was there because the energy I felt around this man evoked in me hope that my son could get better, possibly even well, which is not what psychiatry has told us for nearly a decade.

The Alchemist gave me a homeopathic remedy the first day I went for a treatment. I told him that I hadn’t responded well to homeopathy in the past, but he said give it a try anyway.

The next day, the toe pain was gone. It never returned like it was. I’ve felt it on a much milder level, but only a couple of times. They had been hurting nearly constantly and at one point, I recall being afraid of having to use a wheel chair if the pain continued. The doctors said it was likely Rheumatoid Arthritis or Lupus.

I was surprised when the pain vanished after one treatment from the Alchemist. I really didn’t know what to think. Perhaps the homeopathic remedy worked. Perhaps the energy the Alchemist carries is that of a true healer.

Testimonial 2
My cousin, Christina, posted this article on her Facebook page about the benefits of vitamin B12.

Vitamin B12: The Most Important Nutrient You Aren’t Thinking About
If you aren’t getting enough vitamin B12, it is indeed very important – and you may very well not be thinking about it. One reason you aren’t thinking about it is that we tend to fall in (and out!) of love with one nutrient at a time (such as vitamin C, beta carotene, lycopene and so on), and vitamin B12 isn’t the nutrient du jour. But the other reason you may not be thinking about it is … because you can’t. A deficiency of vitamin B12 can limit your ability to think clearly about anything! (More on that momentarily.)

Christina did her own sleuthing to treat her trigeminal neuralgia, a very painful condition affecting the trigeminal nerve of the face. I asked her for more details, and here's what she wrote back.

B12 totally took away the pain i had with trigeminal neuralgia. I thought I had a bad toothache - it lasted 4 years and my dentist kept telling me it wasn't my teeth or gums - told me to go to family doctor, finally did, he diagnosed tn - and i went onto mayo clinic website and found case histories - only one that didn't involve psychotic drugs or brain surgery was lady who swore by B12 - I talked to my dr about it - it is water soluble so he said sure - within 48 hrs the pain was gone. Been taking it ever since. on a scale of 1-to 10 it is a 10
