I currently have the "luxury" of being on disability. I put my blind faith in Big Pharma, they poisoned me for almost 5 years, it's taken me another 7 years to "recover" (while deep truth diving) and now I'm plotting my revenge on their paltry dime nickle. It took a long painful time to get used to this life of scraping by, but now I actually like the freedom more than my former comforts. Knocked down in the prime of my life I lost a dozen years and almost my life, but I'm hoping on some levels the best is yet to come. Ideally it will come before my parents kick it so I can rub it in their faces, though I doubt they'd understand anyway since they never got me anyway, much less my recent phase.

Similar story here, 13 years although no disability. The Lyme disease explains only part of the story, I think time will reveal that the root of all this is mercury toxicity from having amalgam fillings removed by a careless dentist.

It's hard finding good help these days. Hell, it's getting hard getting a pizza delivered right-side-up.

I feel very bad for so many sick people who cannot work are are homeless and sick or have a Major disability or neurodegenertive disease and then there's people who are on SSDI who basically retire for the rest of their lives. A fireman had broken his finger, it recovered, he was fine. Decided To retire at 43 on SSDI getting over 4000 dollars a month. He's fine too.

Yep. Things are anything but fair.

Having been through hell and back via Big Pharma, another group I have huge empathy for are all those with chemical imbalances, including those who have been cursed to be violent. I don't agree with their actions and I sure as heck don't want to be around any, but there are humans too and shouldn't be treated like animals, even if they act like that.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (10 children)

What kinds of chemical imbalances do you speak of? The kind that creates psychiatry cases?

[–]Jesus 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (4 children)

Probably. Chemical imbalences can be from simple things like envirormental toxins from oesticides on lawns or on your food. 85% of food is sprayed with pesticides. Nearly everyone has Glyphosate in their bodies. Less so for those who eat organic.

Chrinic Infections also cause chemical imbalences, as do powerful drugs pushed by Big Pharma and the rheumatology department.

For instance. A Kynureine pathway imbalence can cause the oddest behavioral changes such as not being able to focus your eyes and other perception problems or if you have too much specific kynureine metabolites countering serotonin through the conversion of L-tryptophan you could be autistic; as every autistic and Asperger patient, to a lesser extent, have deformities in this pathway.

Simple crap like that. That pill pushers don't seem to get or care about.

Yeah I've been eating organic only for almost 15 years now. Carnivore for a few. It gets expensive. I think my main "imbalance" is mercury toxicity. And the carnivore diet has cured autistics, depressives, bipolars, etc. Of course I would recommend organic carnivore, but not everybody can afford that.

[–]JasonCarswell[S] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

I can't even afford much meat, even if I didn't have other things to get every month.

Make connections with farmers.

[–]JasonCarswell[S] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Great idea. Don't have a car, live in a city, not even sure if there are any cows in Essex County. If I get desperate I can always hunt children in the nearby park.

[–]JasonCarswell[S] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (4 children)

Yes. It can be genetically inherited, epigenetic, via trauma, abuse, drugs, injections, etc. Lots of stuff can affect the brain. Anything that affects the brain can affect behaviour.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

This is on that topic, I posted it a few days ago, less than 5 minutes long: https://saidit.net/s/Antipsychiatry/comments/5rd9/cchr_on_psychiatry_no_science_no_cures_4m54s/

But suffice it to say, there is zero evidence that chemical imbalances in the brain create psychiatric conditions. No such imbalance, or balance, was ever discovered. Still, mercury and formaldehyde, aluminum, glyphosate, lead, and so many other toxic products are bound to fuck you up, on that we agree.

Psychiatry, sadly, is tied at the hip to Big Pharma.

Psychiatry has way more than enough problems than to pretend that we are not electro-chemical-biological beings.

I used to live around the corner from where they were all interviewed, across from Toronto City Hall, though oddly they didn't show it in frame (but Old City Hall was shown in one).

[–]JasonCarswell[S] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

Then what are 5HTP (precursor to seretonin) and SSRIs all about. I've experienced the chemical imbalances that I was prescribed. It's very real.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Well... Yes, 5HTP boosts serotonin production and this aids a smooth disposition. Neurotransmitters do their thing, I am not denying that. But take for example psychiatry's most axiomatic assertion that depression = lack of serotonin = need an SSRI. It's backed up by pretty much nothing. Yes, SOME people report a numbing of the dark mood, as well as a slew of other effects that aren't otherwise associated with heightened serotonin.

As such, it's hard to ascribe SSRIs' effects to only its action on serotonin. I took half a dose of such a poison once, and it made me murderously violent. I WANTED to slaughter people in the bloodiest way possible. Of course, I could observe this and cloister myself until the effect passed and not commit heinous crimes. And this mood is absolutely opposite what I am. So again, is that simply serotonin? 5-HTP never had any such effects on me, even when I had borderline serotonin syndrome from overdoing it a bit. Nor GHB for that matter, which cured my depression.

So, sure, SSRIs can give you "chemical imbalance" problems. OBVIOUSLY since they are synthetic and unnatural chemicals. I'm not stating that poisoning doesn't exist here. All I'm saying is that no chemical balance of healthy minds was ever recorded, and as such, ascribing mental illness to chemical imbalance is a statement devoid of any actual evidence backing it. It's scientism. ;-)

Justice, and by extension fairness, is a purely human imaginary notion. There is literally nothing in the entire universe that provides any grounds whatsoever for the belief in such a thing.

[–]JasonCarswell[S] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (5 children)

It's not just human. Surely you've seen the tiny monkey that throws the slice of cucumber in a fit because the other little monkey always gets the grape. Fairness is universal, but the Universe is not fair. But without making fairness there is no civility in civilization so we're all just animals. Do we give up the illusion and goal of fairness and just give over to our chaotic animal natures? Or do we use these evolved brains to improve our world and society?

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (4 children)

You can't make the jump from "I want the good stuff the other guy gets" to "fairness".

[–]JasonCarswell[S] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

I can.

The monkey reacted when it was continual unfairness, not just one time. That's just the starting point.

Go from there to a "primitive" tribe. Everyone has a role to play. In a stereotype grandparents teach and take care of the children, men hunt, women gather, etc. When the men come home empty handed they don't starve. They get a portion as everyone else that contributes does. Fairness. Some may get more for reasons - size, earned it, merit, health, bloodlines and politics, etc.

Step that up to a modern society and we still need some fairness. If the king takes it all while people starve, eventually that society will crumble. They are intentionally doing that now. Despite it all being built by us and previous generations, the current wealth that exists is being claimed by the few, instead of rightfully being all of our inheritance.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

Oh I agree we need it as a collective. However, the universe at large does not recognize the existence of this thing called "Fairness".

[–]JasonCarswell[S] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

Agreed. And this conscious derived "fairness" separates us from the animals, organics, and non organic matter - and the psychopaths in charge. IMO "fairness" is at the root of everything I'm fighting against/for and the most important thing of all.
