Guest guest Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 The psychological/psychiatric wing of " medicine " is the only discipline that can simply decide upon or create new ailments. The DSM IV and the fact that these illnesses are simply voted in without any checks, balances, proof, etc, is one of the biggest atrocities I've ever seen. They're a make-work program for the pharmaceutical companies. Here's how it goes: Big Pharma makes drugs. People buy them for ailments. More and more new ppl get sucked into this cycle of dependency every day. But eventually, it sort of levels off, or at least the growth rate slows. So Big Pharma needs new outlets to manufacture drugs for. This is where Big Psycho (the psychiatric morons) comes in. Big Pharma needs Big Psycho to think up new diseases or start classifying existing disorders into more serious ailments that we can now treat with drugs. The gem phrase is " no cure, only treatment " because then they can hook ppl on more and more drugs for the rest of their lives. Enough! Many MDs have NO CLUE what they're talking about. They simply don't KNOW anything. Psychiatry is NO better. I beat depression after an 11-year battle (since I was 14) and haven't touched the meds they told me I'd be on the rest of my life for 2 years and counting. And as for the PMS... St John's wort, a little short-term (organic) chocolate, LOTS of water, fruits, veggies, and salmon, and NO salt or cow products of any kind (cheese, meat, butter, OR milk) for 1 week leading up to The Week. I also find soy milk to be helpful, as there is estrogen in it. Ever since I cut way back on cow products and increased my soy intake, my cramps (which I'd had for 14 years, EVERY month, so bad I'd get nauseated) were GONE. Exercise and stretching also really help. (And massage helps, too! Helps ease cramps and facilitates hormone regulation, fluid flow--both internal and from inside to outside, etc.) Gee...no more Motrin, no more Advil, tylenol, aspirin, cramps, missed days at work, low-energy, mood swings.... Hmmm....
