Psychiatry: "Neuroplasticity is real." Also psychiatry: "No, taking psychiatric drugs every day for years does not permamently alter your nervous system. "Discontinuation syndrome is MiLd And ShOrt LiVeD and anything beyond two weeks is relapse of yOur UndErlYing ConDitIoN."



If I was told years ago that “antidepressant withdrawal syndrome”was a thing I would have never taken this shit.










I will NEVER allow anybody to inject ANY VACCINE directly into my bloodstream again. EVER. That is giving away so much control.


These were the headlines in the 90s.... Since then, antidepressants use has dramatically surged, & so have rates of: Depression Suicidality MH disability Chronic long-term use Iatrogenic harm Attrition MH costs "Correlation isn’t causation", they cry - nothing to see here...🙈







Many years ago I hurt my knee playing sports. I was referred to the orthopedist for one of the local pro teams. After keeping me waiting for 2.5 hours, he diagnosed a cartilage tear and recommended surgery. I was so mad at his manner and tardiness I left without scheduling. The next week I got a second opinion from a much younger doc who was likely more current on the recent medical literature. He looked at the same MRI. He said he could do surgery now but his advice was to wait 30 days and see if it healed on its own. It did. Medical reversal is when a practice that became widely used is later shown to be ineffective or even harmful. Examples like meniscus surgery show the need to keep gathering evidence. A not immaterial part of the practice of modern medicine doesn't improve health, and may be net harmful.

The brain wasn't designed to be in a drug state for decades.



A 79-year-old Catholic priest, Fr. Larry Holland, who is recovering from a hip fracture at Vancouver General Hospital in Canada, said he was offered Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) twice by hospital staff, even though he made clear he is a Catholic priest and morally opposed to euthanasia.
