[Guest guest]

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.

*SSRI Withdrawal Procedure: Getting Off Antidepressants May Be Made Easier*

Both these articles present observations which are extremely valuable,

and I do not find much more said on the subject. Please, if you have

contact with more information and observations on treatment of patients

undergoing S.S.R.I. therapy, and TCM, would you please contact me. I should

appreciate it a lot. Thank you for your help.

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.
