"The United Nations has blasted psychiatrists for torturing people!"



In a significant move which highlights how tragically criminal in nature psychiatry is United Nations Rapporteurs have hit psychiatry for the excessive medicalization of mental health issues and for torture which is inherent in psychiatric practices. Clearly non-psychiatric natural mental health care approaches are the only humane and effective interventions for mental health issues.
 
There is very heavy funding of the propaganda machine of psychiatry which has people worldwide deceived into believing psychiatrists work in the best interests of their mental health. However in actual practice psychiatry has always been a highly destructive discipline which feeds off of the pain and suffering psychiatrists inflict people with. Natural non-psychiatric alternatives to mental health care are the best remedy for this tragic problem.

CCHR International has published a report by Kelly Patricia O’Meara dealing with how United Nations Special Rapporteur, Dr. Dainius Puras, has set a milestone by addressing the serious problem of the excessive "medicalization" of mental health issues. Dr. Puras has highlighted that there is no evidence which supports psychotropic drugs as a first line form of treatment for mental health issues. The serious problems associated with excessive medicalization of mental health and the gross overuse of biomedical interventions have been highlighted.

Dr. Puras has pointed out that evidence does not support the use of psychotropic drugs as the first line treatment for depression and other mental conditions. It is stressed that there is more harm than good done by the excessive use of drugs and other biomedical interventions for mental issues. This approach actually undermines the right of people to health and should be stopped.

Dr. Puras has eloquently pointed out that the biomedical tradition of medicalizing various types of psychosocial distress and human suffering has undermined the vital significance of focusing on the social and underlying factors of health. This all tragically undermines the rights of people to being healthy. The psychiatric drugs have a myriad of horrible side effects which create disability when all that is often needed to treat such mental states as depression are interventions which are based on human interaction and on thoughtful talking and listening.

The Center for the Human Rights of Users and Survivors of Psychiatry and MindFreedom have reported that the Special United Nations Rapporteur on Torture, Juan E. Méndez, has recommended that forced psychiatric treatment of any kind should be banned. A complete ban has been suggested for nonconsensual psychiatric interventions which include mind-altering drugs such as neuroleptics, restraint, solitary confinement, nonconsensual administration of electroshock, and psychosurgery.
There has also been a suggestion by Méndez that legal provisions which authorize confinement and compulsory treatment in mental health settings should be repealed. He has gone on to say that it is not justified to detain people on mental health grounds.

These attacks on the tyrannical quackery of psychiatry coming from the United Nations offer hope for humanity that someday psychiatry will be permanently abolished. The consistent abusive interventions of psychiatrists over the decades has painfully wasted more potentially productive lives than terrorists and street gangs have. It is time to stamp out the pure repulsive ignorance associated with psychiatry and move towards humane natural approaches for mental health care.
 

Aggressive efforts are needed to protect kids from lead poisoning



Lead poisoning can hit young kids very hard and leave them with permanent damage to their health. An awareness of the serious problem of lead poisoning will hopefully lead to aggressive efforts to prevent it.
 
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that there are at least 4 million households which have children living in them that are being exposed to levels of lead which are too high. There has not been a safe blood lead level identified in kids. Just about every single system in the body can be affected by exposure to lead.

It has been reported by Kids Health that most commonly lead poisoning is caused by exposure to lead-based paint. This kind of paint was used in many homes in the United States until the late 1970s at which time manufacture of paint with lead was banned by the government. Kids who live in older homes in the United States or who are from foreign countries that do not regulate the use of lead are therefore at an increased risk for getting lead poisoning.

Lead is also found in soil which is contaminated. This can lead to lead dust in the home. Water that flows through old pipes or faucets may also be contaminated with lead. Bowls which are glazed or painted with lead can spread lead to food. There are also some toys and jewelry which have lead in them.

Kids who have lead poisoning may experience irritability or behavioral problems. They may have headaches and problems concentrating. A loss of appetite and weight loss are frequently seen. Fatigue along with abdominal pain, vomiting or nausea, constipation, pale skin, and seizures are also often seen with lead poisoning.

Doctors Health Press has reported on good ways to prevent lead poisoning. You should try to keep your home free from dust. Caution should be taken in dealing with painted toys and canned goods from foreign countries.

Only cold water should be used to prepare foods and drinks. Everyone should wash their hands well before eating. Only lead free paint should be used for your home and your water should be tested for lead. If there is lead in your water use a filtering device or drink only bottled water until the pipes can be replaced.

It is also important to make certain your child eats a balanced diet. This can prevent lead poisoning and lead to better lead absorption. And so with an increased awareness of lead poisoning and aggressive measures at prevention your child has a better chance of avoiding lead poisoning.

Feeling young at heart can help with a healthy sex life



University of Waterloo researchers say that the closer you are feeling to the age which you actually are the less likely you may be to be satisfied with your sex life. A healthy sex life is possible to maintain as you age. Leading a healthy lifestyle with good nutrition and a positive attitude can nurture a healthy sex life in your elderly years.

It has been reported by the University of Waterloo that your sex life may be only as old as you are feeling. The researchers say that it is not as likely you will be satisfied with your sex life if you feel very close to the age which you actually are. A better quality sex life was reported by those who did not feel as close to their chronological age.

Steven Mock, who is an associate professor in Recreation and Leisure Studies at University of Waterloo, said this research showed there was a large impact on how people felt about the quality of their sex life if they felt younger. This also influenced their interest in sex. It seems that for people who are middle aged and older feeling young at heart can actually make a significant difference in the bedroom.


This study has been published in The Journal of Sex Research. It has been observed that in older people the less positive their views of aging are, the less sexual activity was rated as enjoyable by them. Feelings of being older was also associated with less interest in sex. It seems that nurturing youthful feelings may actually pay off in a more satisfied sex life as you age.
