Guest guest Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Hi! I am a former employee of the staff of Emperor's College, in Santa Monica, and am a friend of Drs. Dan Bensky and Volker Scheid. I keep in touch with Seattle Institute of Oriental Medicine and Bastyr Universioty. I have a lot of concern with S.S.R.I.s, their energetic (TCM) nature and balancing their toxicity. Some while back I corresponded with Dr. Z'ev Rosenberg, and he wrote the following article. In the article he discusses an approach to Prozac from the perspective of energetic medicine.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Dear Robb, Thank you for referencing that article. However, I do want to point out that I wrote it many years ago, and have obviously changed some of my observations and have hopefully increased my depth of knowledge on this issue. It was pioneering at the time, and I was trying to bring this issue to the attention of this issue when few other voices were addressing it. In other words, these were the speculations of a young(er) practitioner, and therefore should not be taken as gospel, but as my personal observations at the time of pharmacuetical drugs and their effects from a CM perspective. Perhaps when I get some time, I'll update this article and information so it is more useful to our profession. On Jul 22, 2006, at 11:02 AM, robb thurston wrote: > Hi!
