Nutritional Supplements

Many nutritionists believe that most people should take multiple vitamins the year round as supplements to their diets.

Today, there is a growing trend among health-conscious individuals to take a proactive approach to their own health by taking vitamins, minerals and antioxidants daily.

But why the keen interest in supplements?

There are many reasons: poor quality of food supply; loss of nutrients in cooked food; not eating a healthy diet; stressful lifestyle; and sickness. The supplements are also used by many to slow down the aging process and strengthen the immune system to prevent chronic diseases, like cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes.

A few years ago, California Institute of Technology, aided by Lockheed Aircraft Corporation, offered proof that most people can benefit from extra vitamins the year round.

They tested a group of healthy men whose ordinary diet was as good as average. Each man was given viagra cialis online pharmacy pharmacy five days a week for a whole year. Half the men were given multivitamin tablets, while the other half were given placebo (fake tablets of no value).

For the first two months there was no observable difference between the two groups.

But during the following six months, the men who had been receiving vitamin tablets forged ahead. They were absent less and scored higher in merit-rating. The vitamin tablets seemed to have the greatest effect on the workers' emotional well-being. They seemed happier, more alert.

Tidbits. "Most of our dyspepsia or indigestion is simply the irritation due to too much food or drink. It is not a disease, and medicine only adds insult to injury," claims Dr. Peter P. Chase in his book, Your Wonderful Body.

Dr. Victor Heiser, in You're the Doctor, illustrates the dangers of overeating as follows:

"It is as though you owned a boiler designed to burn a ton of coal a day, the amount sufficient to generate steam enough to run your plant. Instead of following instructions, you constantly burn two tons daily. The safety valve is then always blowing off unused steam. You are not only wasting your coal but burning out the boiler. Something similar to this is taking place in the bodies of people who overeat."

Exercise of the week. Here is an excellent reliever for office workers who sit hunched over a desk all day:

Stand erect with both arms stretched out in front. Inhale as you stretch them out to your sides. Then exhale as you slowly swing them back together in front of you. Keep the hands relaxed and feel the pull and stretch from the chest area.

Tighten your abdominal muscles and your buttocks during the process and you will also do wonders for your posture.

Do 8 repetitions the first day, adding a few repetitions each day until you reach 20 reps.

Do the exercise every hour to relieve shoulder and neck tightness.

Lack of sleep can affect your mental abilities. In a series of studies on college students, Dr Robert A. Hicks, Ph.D. found that sleeping less than 6 hours a night can reduce your ability to think creatively, lessen your ability to cope with stress and erode your problem-solving talents.

Banana Spiders Straightens, Strengthens Your 'Banana' For Hours at a Time

If you have a penis, you may want to skip this . Then again, this might be quite beneficial. -- especially for Emimen. According to a researchers, the bite from a deadly spider is the next tool in the arsenal to fight erectile dysfunction. But while it may get you hot and bothered, the bite might kill you.

The eight-legged creature - also known as the armed spider, banana spider or Phoneutria nigriventer - is native to South and Central America. Scientists at the Medical College of Georgia believe the species contains a possible breakthrough for erectile dysfunction. Dr Kenia Nunes, a physiologist at the college, said: "The venom of the Phoneutria nigriventer spider is a very rich mixture of several molecules. These molecules are called toxins, and then we have various toxins in this venom with different activity. Because of this, when a human is bitten by this spider, we can observe many different symptoms including priapism, a condition in which the penis is continually erect." Other side-effects on top of the long-painful erections include loss of muscle control, severe pain, difficulty breathing and if its victim is not treated with anti-venom, could lead to death due to oxygen deprivation. But its unusual effects could be used to treat sexual dysfunction in both men and women, according to Dr. Nunes. In her study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, Dr. Nunes’ experiment managed to give erection-challenged rats with high blood pressure a bit of a boost. A peptide called PnTx2-6 was given to the flaccid rats, who achieved side-effect free erections. Dr. Nunes said: "We found the toxin responsible [for the erections] and performed experiments using hypertensive rats which have severe erectile dysfunction. The toxin was able to normalise the erectile dysfunction in these animals." The spider’s toxin worked in a different way to drugs such as online pharmacy viagra though and Nunes told MSNBC: "This is good because we know that some patients don’t respond to the conventional therapy. This could be an optional treatment for them."
She is also hopeful that the toxin could help female sexual dysfunction, but has not yet studied this. The Brazilian wandering spider, which has a leg span of over four inches, has already been found in some American and Canadian supermarkets but is normally found in tropical banana plantations. According to the curator of arachnids at the University of Washington’s Burke Museum, Rod Crawford, only 10 humans out of 7,000 have died from its bite.

As they say, some must die so others can live. Is that chance you're willing to make to be fantastic in bed? We're not sure. The spider venom is still years away from populating store shelves, however, so you have some time to think about it.

In Real Life: I Have a Constitution of My Own

It is really truly disappointing to learn almost every day of how truly corrupted mental heath care and everything to do with it can be and is in my family's experience.  What is taught and done in real world practice is so far from helpful for far too many. A seriously corrupted knowledge base and entirely false history is  being used to formulate the curriculum, "practice parameters" and "standard practices."   Well, I guess more accurately, only information which  supports the "biomedical Public Policy of social control" that psychiatry has become.  A social control strategy in which Courts Orders for those with mental illnesses to take drugs and or get electroshock against their will, is considered "treatment."  This policy is the Law in 46 states; several of which have people begging for help to defend their Individual and Parental Constitutional Rights.  Parents of children, Husbands, Wives, and other family members are being excluded when they support a targeted family member's Human Rights, and right to not risk permanent injury by taking dangerous drugs and being electroshocked against their wishes.  





I was told by a psychiatrist that I believed to be supportive of individuals rights, and supportive of the Human Rights for those diagnosed with a "mental illness."   My belief was based an his being a founding member of CAFETY.  He told me that any parent who objects to drug regimens prescribed to their child would at best, be perceived as "ill-informed" and at worst, "impaired themselves."  In effect, he said NO ONE, not even a parent of a child, has the right to say, "No" to a psychiatrist's recommendation to take psychiatric drugs!  The bio-medical model for treating distress, and the effects of trauma, abuse and neglect, sociological, financial and intellectual deficits as a "disease" or "chemical imbalance" is not working---for whole lot of real live human beings.  Besides my son, I have three friends who are all severely impaired, NOT only not better, but obviously much worse for the very same reason my son is---this method does not work for them either---yet psychiatrists are playing God.  Those who believe, know.  God never LIES to anyone.  





Every single psychiatrist I have talked to when seeking help for my son has lied to me.   Since they were taught the biases they have in Institutions of Higher Learning, I used to have some compassion and understanding.   I am fresh out of both now.  Due to pharmaceutical funding, lack of ethics and integrity, I am more concerned about how psychiatrists do not conform to any ethical, moral or legal standards in "practicing medicine;"  not even the Nuremberg Code.  





I thought that every single State and US elected public servant took an oath to defend the US Constitution?  I see no evidence that this is actually the case.  In fact I am aware of a whole lot of evidence that The United States Constitution is under attack.  The people who are labeled with a psychiatric diagnosis are without it's protection.  Maryann Godbodlo, and her daughter; Elizabeth Ellis, Cindy Potter, Allison Hymes, and Chris Bushe are all people who are pleading for help due to having their Constitutional Rights violated by Mental Health "professionals." 





 I can tell you from personal experience, that Federally Funded Child Welfare and CPS programs run by the States have been denying parents their Parental Rights under the US Constitution  for decades and that, IMHO, has a great deal to do with how many children are in fact in "the system" it is why there is a breakdown in Family Values in this Country--the social service systems that society trusts to act for us have been functioning to preserve the State agencies which run them; not to help the children and families whom they serve.  The loss of Family Values and Parental Rights can not be restored or prevented by individuals who are hiding crimes against the children in States care and  who deny Parents their Right to make mental health care decisions as is their Duty and Right to do as parents.  Until there is personal accountability, there is NO WAY the systems themselves can be ethical or accountable for the children in the State's care, or to the general public for failing to perform their duty with integrity.  People who work in these systems are doing the work for you and me, society at large; and I know they are not accountable.  .  





I know that some of the people who committed crimes to cover up others crimes, all of which harmed MY son still work for the State, some have retired with pensions, and not even my State Senator or either of my State Representatives, (who I actually voted for!) will even return my phone calls, when I reached out for help.  One of my State Representatives actually seems to not know that he Represents the people who elected him; and perhaps the children who do not vote yet, but are in State Custody?!  





Protection and Advocacy "We don't deal with..." Mental Health Ombudsman, "We don't..."  The State of Washington DSHS Mental Health Division Complaint Manager, Ronald Moorhead, conferred with the Attorney General before not sending a request to the Washington State Patrol (mandated reporters are required by Law to inform Law Enforcement about Crimes against vulnerable citizens) to initiate an investigation by Law Enforcement.  No investigation into the Felony Perjury and Felony Forgery and Abuse of Power and Authority, Civil Rights Crimes committed Under Color Of Law psychiatric Assault and Medical Negligence and Intentional False Reporting in a Medical Record has yet occurred .  





Both Nancy Sherman,  DMHP, and Jeffery Jennings, psychiatrist committed perjury and Ms. Sherman also forged a Court Document when obtaining Court Orders to Detain and Commit my son to Involuntary Psychiatric "care."  The agency they work for, Central Washington Comprehensive Mental Heath shredded all the Original Documents.  These Original Documents are Yakima County Superior Court Records and it was illegal to shred them when the case to which they pertain was an open case in Yakima County Superior Court.---It would also be a serious violation of the contract between CWCMH and Yakima County and the GCBH RSN.  





The Deputy Prosecutor, Dan Polage, submitted what he knew to be Perjured Testimony and Forged Documents to the Yakima County Superior Court--I spoke to him three times at length--He knew the rules of evidence were ignored by CWCMH employees who committed felonies in performing their jobs, yet he proceeded to present a case against my son.   He failed to even conduct any fact finding. or even send a YPD officer to my home to see if I have a TV--The Court was told it was smashed to pieces to assert Isaac's "dangerousness." By failing to conduct even a simple fact finding investigation, he made Yakima County and Washington State parties to violating my son's Civil Rights.   





I wonder why the Yakima County Superior Court Judge, signed this Order---It did not comply with the Rules of Evidence, nor were Standard Court Procedures complied with.  A Court Order in which liberty is lost and carries a permanent stigma should not only conform with the Law, but appear to conform with the Law.  Dan Polage committed the crime of presenting the perjured statement of Jeffery Jennings to the Yakima County Superior Court---and knew that it was not based on any first hand knowledge since No One in my family ever spoke to Jeffery Jennings directly--except for Isaac, when he told him repeatedly to leave him alone only to be ignored three times, until Isaac told him to get the F*@! out of his room, in frustration.  This event Jennings recorded in Isaac's hospital chart that he became 'agitated' and drugged him in the middle of the day---Who would not have became upset to be disrespected in their own hospital room by someone you have never met, and have no reason to trust.  Jennings ignored repeated requests from Isaac; apparently unaware a request to be left alone should be honored, he ignored it.  It seems to me, a person would feel disrespected and being ignored, would cause mistrust.  





Assigned Counsel, Jennifer Lesmez, put on absolutely NO defense--in fact it is only her voice and the Judge's you hear on the recording of the one minute twenty six second hearing stripping my son of his Rights.  Isaac's brother, Nathan, and I both spoke with her at length; she knew that there was false testimony used to obtain a court order against her client and DID nothing to defend him!  The Case Manager with Aging and Long Term Care who came to the house after this mockery of "Mental Health Treatment" and Jurisprudence  and was able to bear witness to physical evidence that facts alleged in the complaints by Nancy Sherman and Jeffery Jennings could not possibly be true.  The case manger was then mysteriously reassigned, without explanation.  





The proponents of Forced Drugging and electroshock insist that the Individual Rights are protected of those who are Court Ordered.  They are mistaken and naive. Having protections clearly defined and explained in the Law, does not, all by itself, provide the protection!  





The only attorney in Central Washington who advertises as specializing in defending those faced with Civil Commitment told me that while working for Yakima County, in one year he was assigned 700 cases.  Almost three times the number that is recommended by Legal Advocacy recommendations on number of cases an attorney can reasonably expect to handle effectively.   The man actually admitted he only mounted a defense for only three out of 700 clients; so one third of one percent of his clients he mounted a defense for?!?.  I almost vomited when he said this.   It was surreal; he apparently obviously thought there is nothing shameful about being a former Yakima County Assigned Counsel for those facing Involuntary Commitment proceedings who "represented" 697 human beings by mounting absolutely NO defense!   It was obviously a waste of time to consult with such an unethical idiot. He wanted a five thousand dollar retainer to defend my son---From his own stated experience, it is obvious hiring him would be the same as having NO Defense Attorney, which appears to be the way it is done in Yakima County.  





Having these protections defined and written into the Law, DOES not mean they in fact EXIST, it is not the words which provide the protection for goodness sake!  It is the moral and ethical conduct of Officers of the Court, and Public Servants and Elected Representatives!  All of whom take oaths to defend and protect the Constitution!  The Law says Standard Court Procedures, and Rules of Evidence are followed, and Effective Assistance of Counsel provided; but, without the honorable intent being followed with action, these protections are meaningless and nonexistent.  The person is, in effect, and IN Reality, denied their Individual Rights to Procedural Due Process of Law, under The United States Constitution.  Individual Rights are to protect the individual against exactly the type of crimes committed by State Authorized and Federally Funded Medicaid Service Providers, a Yakima County Deputy Prosecutor, and Yakima County Assigned Counsel committed when each of these Public Servants failed in their duty to the Yakima County Superior Court, The State of Washington and The United States of America.  They caused further harm when each of them chose to not act ethically or morally; and showing a lack of integrity that is horrifyingly conspicuous in it's absence.





 In the last 17 years I have witnessed outright fraud, corruption and unethical and illegal behavior from numerous psychiatrists and other mental health 'professionals' and public employees;  I have recently concluded that the Law , not even the Preeminent Law of the Land; is respected by psychiatry or thought to apply to those with a mental health diagnosis.  Not once has a criminal complaint been investigated, when my Isaac was victimized by crime.  The first time he was victimized was a crime which my three year old son was violently assaulted in a Foster Home, by a foster parent who had twelve complaints filed against her alleging neglect and abuse.  All twelve complaints were prior to him being placed in her "care."   





Sometimes I wonder how would we, as a family, would have been different if I had been able to get the help my son needed?  Foolish thoughts...But I do sometimes wonder, and try to figure out what I can do now---to help my son believe that the world can be a safe and beautiful place.  I pray that he comes to know that he does not have to allow the actions of others define who he is, or limit what he can accomplish.  And then I wonder--am I trying to convince him of something that is true?   I will stick to what I know to be true---The United States Constitution is real; it is the American Gospel.  God Loves Justice and those who defend it, I pray my son will come to know with every fiber of his being that both he and his Constitutional Rights are worthy of respect and protection.  No man or government entity can take away his God-given birthright.  No one can judge my son to be less than, or denigrate and condemn him based on the injuries caused by felonious assault and morally corrupt conduct of Public Servants who have committed crimes against him.   





I read an interesting article in Health Care Renewal and thought, something about muck rolling down hill....There are those who are in fact formulating public policy who have very serious Conflicts of Interests and an obvious inability to be ethical, or moral--Which begs the question, Why is it that individuals with Conflicts of Interest and who benefit financially from the policies they develop for others is who we as a society depend on to serve the People's interests?   The people who are most directly effected by these policies are not given a voice or a choice in their development, or their implementation.

The last lines of "The Irony of American History," written in 1952, resound more than a half-century later. "If we should perish, the ruthlessness of the foe would be only the secondary cause of the disaster. The primary cause would be that the strength of a giant nation was directed by eyes too blind to see all the hazards of the struggle; and the blindness would be induced not by some accident of nature or history but by hatred and vainglory."  Reinhold Niebuhr
