Are We Naturally Crazy? The Three Functional Psychoses
Are we born crazy?
The three functional psychoses are mood disorders, delusional disorders, and schizophrenia.
Depending on the level of functional behavior, people with these disorders are able to contribute to society, sometimes in a greater capacity when the rest of society treats them with the respect they do deserve.
And they deserve a lot, especially given the prejudice given a good psychotic.
For not all psychoses have a violent etiology (host of "symptoms" and behavior related to the psychosis).
Indeed, not all psychoses are bad, or disabling.
I suffer from borderline personality disorder, which is related to delayed development of the brain.
Under the age of one, I suffered anoxia for a brief period of time, so there is post-natal brain damage.
As well, I have had about 6 head trauma before I was 13.
So I have probably suffered post-concussive trauma and the etiology which arose consists of rebelliousness, insomnia, rages, and risky behavior.
One example of risky behavior: obsession about holding my breath until I passed out.
As a child, I remember learning to masturbate by age 6.
I remember several incidents when my mother used to punish me, but forgive her for it because my misbehaviour was real and did occur.
So naturally when I entered adulthood, the insomnia led to marked changes caused by neurological damage suffered as a child.
In adulthood, the diagnosis of borderline personality disorder was made circa 1990.
At first, my doctor decided to leave it untreated out of respect for my decision to muse non-pharmacological methods of controlling it using alternative health.
15 years later, I've "awakened" to discover that I am missing out on a family and a career due to borderline personality disorder.
Hence the delayed development issue.
As for schizophrenia, I know that that term describes etiology arising from a real chemical imbalance in the brain.
It has been controlled best by orthomolecular medicine, but seroquel is being used more and more to control schizophrenics.
For seroquel causes health problems in the doses needed to control violent forms of psychoses, and is an expensive sleeping aid in lower doses.
However, a combination of essential fatty acids and herbal anti-depressants are an alternative to the pharmacological medication.
EFAs help to stabilize mood, and take up to 3 weeks to work. I've experienced overnight relief, which lead to the healthy, happy mental state I now sustain.
Herbs such as valerian helps with sleep; St Johns wort helps with the depression; and gingko helps my brain get oxygenated.
As for kava, I'd recommend it as an alternative to recreational drinking. YMMV
IMHO we are all naturally crazy. Anyone can suffer a functional psychoses. Indeed, I would consider alcoholism as a functional psychoses with subclinical etiology.
So the ignorant can perpetuate their ignorance.
Madness is inherent to post-modern society in the 21st Century.
For the most sane of us all are on medication, be it pharmaceuticals or herbal supplements (health foods, herbs, vitamins and minerals).
Anybody would be crazy to subsist on only the average Canadian diet, since it has been implicated in the etiology of a host of functional psychoses due to subclinical malnutrition.
A host of homeless people may find relief in optimal nutrition, but won't find it at the meal lineup to the soup kitchens.
In today's society, the harmless psychotics are being manufactured and controlled by the neurotics in power.
It's time to realize this, and to get off Big Pharma's drive to cash in on the host of broken lives ruined by crappy food pushed by the food industry.
Indeed, health food is more nutritious and better for us than cheap food.
Sanity is found by supporting your local organic grocer.

How I Survived the Swine Flu
For the first week of the flu, circa October 5 to October 13, I just felt depressed with mood swings i.e. neuropsychiatric affect of malaise.
Then the first symptoms started.
During October 17-20, I felt listless, achy, had a fever, lots of phlegm, and the neuropsychiatric affect mentioned above.
A week later, I decided to start taking antihistamines for the mucus build up along with one ibuprofen a day. At first I used fexofenadine for about a week, and then switched to cetirizine.
As well, I'd been taking Swiss Natural Sources High Potency Cod Liver Oil, and found the high potency garlic capsules I'd been keeping in case of a cold.
By November 12, I was over most of the symptoms. Currently the one of the symptoms I have left consist of occasional coughing, which may be related to histamine levels (allergy).
This occurred when I had a Yogen Früz slurpie, which contains a milk product. Though it might be remotely to the flu. This may also indicate a normal cough reflex due to eating certain cold foods.
Another symptom I have is a secondary infection. It consists of eustachian tube blockage in my right ear.
What appears to "fix" it is to take a garlic capsule, and bite on it to release the contents of the capsule, which then is kept in my mouth until it's absorbed into the mucus membrane lining the inside of the mouth.
So, overall it's taken about a month to get over the flu.
However, what I feel actually helped me get over the flu is the Vitamin D in the cod liver oil capsules. It also prevented the flu from weakening me, even during the time when my lungs were severely congested.
I also used cough drops for the flu, and bought some mint tea for coughs.
To sum up, here are the supplements I used to get over the flu:
Cod liver oil capsules -- improves immunity, mood, and calcium & magnesium levels at three capsules a day. - Swiss Natural Sources Hi Potency Cod Liver Oil
Garlic capsules -- relieves infections -- I take three capsules a day - the recommended dosage - according to the label - Swiss Natural Sources Triple Strength Odourless Garlic, 500 mg
Siberian ginseng -- adaptogen, acts as calmative - I take about three of these day.
Nutrilite Stress B -- after a couple weeks when I'd knocked this bottle of vitamins (super concentrated yeast tablets) off my bedroom cabinet, it got stuck behind one of the cabinet drawers. Now, I am back taking these tablets up to three times a day
Nutrilite Flex 500 - I take this product for its EPA content which is 500 mg per capsule. I take three a day, the recommended dosage. During the flu, I stopped taking this supplement since I was dosing with the garlic oil capsules and the cod liver oil capsules.
Thinning out the blood combined with the neuropsychiatric affect of the flu could be potentially harmful. So to prevent any serious complications, I try to stay in good humor. Though, I am convinced the regular intake of Vitamin D is helping stabilized my mood swings.
Mint tea -- I make myself a cup of mint tea occasionally for digestive aid and to reduce coughing.
Other supplements I take:
Centrum Select 50+ -- this is for regular maintenance of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
Strategic Health Muscle Recovery -- this is for joint pain and inflammation. Frankincense works well.
Yeast tablets -- I only take these as needed.
Now Super Odorless Garlic - each capsule of this product contains 50 mg of concentrated garlic extract, hawthorn extract 100 mg, hawthorn berry 250 mg, and cayenne pepper 100 mg. I don't take much of this product because of the cayenne. It should be taken twice a day, once in the morning and once before bed.
Jamison Calcium Magnesium with Vitamin D -- I take this product sparingly. 1 a day when I actually need it
Melatonin - this product helps to adjust my body clock. I take it sparingly
Products I rarely take:
goldenseal root tincture -- this is for infection. it also causes blood pressure to rise, so i rarely take it.
Milk thistle tincture -- i should take this occasionally for revitalizing my liver.
Krople zoladkowe T - Polish tincture for digestive problems
Product I take rarely
Xtreme Lean -- think of this product as a coffee substitute. the dosage is two 1500 mg capsules before breakfast and two capsules in mid afternoon. but you need to have it with lots of food. so i only use this rarely if i need an energy boost. i only use one capsule once a day because of the risks involved in taking too much of it.
For the record, I do not overdo any of the supplements I take. With supplements, I practise my Less-is-more philosophy.
As well, because I did not take the flu shot, I feel much more healthy than I would have, had I gone in for a shot.
IMHO the cod liver oil and the garlic capsules helped the most in keeping the flu from getting worse. It's doubtful that I'll be saying the same, had I gone in for my shot.

Depression as Learned
This psychological model of behavior is based on the premise that human behavior is learned as a child from observing the parent's behavior in coping with the reality of life and its limitations on the individual.
Specifically, the behavior associated with depression and other behavior associated with so-called mental illnesses are actually psychological tools used inappropriately in what is considered by mental health providers as maladaptive behavior.
That depression is learned is based on the observation that the average child will imitate (mimic) its parents.
If the mother becomes depressed and retreats to the safety of bed in response to the stress of coping with the dominance of her husband, then the child will choose the same behavior under stress.
Since sleep is related to depression i.e. the behavior of a sleep-deprived person is similar to a person with a mood disorder, the quality of sleep is a critical factor in the genesis of depression.
Self-esteem itself is a conceptual artifact tied to ego and how a person values her contribution to family and society.
Depression is thus a coping mechanism that originally is a temporary reaction to stress, be it dominance from authority, loss of a loved one, pain both physical and psychic, etc.
It only becomes inappropriate when a person chooses to sleep a lot, develops morbid ideation about death, and eats inappropriately (extremes in diet).
Diet itself may affect the depressed person.
Sugar, alcohol and recreational drugs are known to affect mood through action on human metabolism i.e. blood sugar, neurohormones, etc.
The nutritional standard of a family requires improvement over the average diet which consists of too much sugar.
Magnesium and calcium are two essential minerals tied to mood, through body metabolism and regulation of hormones.
Complex carbohydrates are useful in regulating the blood sugar level, so that mood swings are lessened.
Multivitamins may help in optimizing intake of essential nutrition.
In addition, the herbs which aid in regulation of moods are skullcap, passion flower, chamomile, St. Johns wort, and hops. In addition, 5-HTP or chamomile tea may be taken before bedtime.
However, the use of herbs may require consistant routine, and is recommended for acute depression. Chronic depression involving abuse and violence, both to and by the depressed person, requires medical intervention.
When the person's mental state has stabilized, usually with an anti-anxiety drug, it is appropriate to improve the person's diet through substitution with low-sugar, moderate protein and complex carbohydrates.
Please note that caffeinated beverages before bedtime may result in delayed sleep and reduce the quality of sleep. So reduce consumption of such beverages.
