I've quit before, and I will again. That still says nothing about the other members of my family who deal with asthma and don't smoke.

Ok. I am done. I was trying to help with the research on John Weir Perry and Stanislov Grof's work, as well as tips on EFT, CAUSE (medicating SYMPTOMS is ineffective) . . . I didn't even get into other holistic remedies . . .

I personally am discouraged that so many people have been brainwashed by TV and status quo thinking and are not into exploring a little deeper . . .

EVEN IF your relatives as far back as you know have had asthma, depression, anxiety, whatever . . . there is a reason . . . a cause . . . to just accept these conditions as genetic is misinformed and you are selling yourselves short . . . it is really sad and frustrating to me. It makes me depressed and now I have to go do EFT to get rid of the negative emotions

Sorry.
Something interesting happened over there across the room.

Yes, yes, we are sorry to see you go. I was waiting for you to deny germs cause infections, we should just will them away.

This is true and is evidenced by an increased suicide rate among the troops in the wars.

I wanted to add one more resource, even though it will most likely fall on deaf ears. In Thomas Moore's book "Care of the Soul" there is an amazing chapter on the gifts of depression.

ADD was always here, but when I was a child in the 60's, I was told, your day dreaming, your not paying attention, your not focusing....

gee, If I would have of know, all I needed was a pill.

Never had a hormone or vitamin deficiency I take it. Ever met a manic depressant? People are not born the same as everyone else. I do agree however that doctors and patients tend to abuse these terms.

We know that there is a neurological basis to these conditions. The question is whether or not we should be prescribing medication at the rate we do.
