Better Ways to Help the Troubled Soul (Paperback)
by Nancy O'Meara and Stan Koehler ::List Price $4.95


Better Ways to Help THE TROUBLED SOUL provides vital information about Better Choices for maintaining and recovering mental health. Advocating that full recovery is possible, the book provides basic tools anyone can put to use helping themselves, a friend or loved one. The book stresses that a full medical check up, rest, good nutrition, a relaxing and non-stressful environment are crucial to recovery from conditions which might have been given a psychiatric label (e.g. bi-polar, anxiety, depression, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, social anxiety disorder, or others).

The book explains how important it is to include the spiritual element - whether one calls it the soul, the spirit or the light within us all as well as how and why the spirit is not included in today's "modern" treatments. Why so often today, the person himself is not included in mental health practices - only brains and chemicals -despite studies and the latest science showing they must be part of the mix.

The book is for anyone who needs to know about the life-affirming choices available for those who need help recovering from the mental trauma so often called mental "illness" when really there could be many things occurring which, addressed with compassion and care, and using the latest science, could result in full recovery.

About the Author Nancy O'Meara is a human rights activist who has personally seen the damage that arbitrary labels (current psychiatric diagnosis are based on a person's behaviors and a mental health workers opinion) can cause. She now is on the Board of "Better Choices" a mental health recovery advocacy group-made up of people from many faiths and walks of life- with the purpose of educating about the atheist nature of most mental health practices today, and the many more efficacious methods available - that do not treat a person like brains and chemicals, but help address the real problems and/or underlying actual physical condition.

Stan Koehler currently runs a program called "Peace in the Street" in New York City, helping first time offenders get their lives back on track. He has worked in the mental health field and found the lack of compassion for the person suffering and a great interest in the dollar. Stan has personally seen the positive changes that can be made by giving a person support, time and space to recoer, not a sterile room and damaging drugs.

Natural Cures "They" Don't Want You to Know About

From the retail supermarket outlets of huge, publicly traded corporations comes processed, manipulated, engineered "food products" – produced by other wings of the same corporation. These artificial, toxic treats are then sold with the blessings of the Federal Trade Commission and Food and Drug Administration – government organizations charged with safeguarding the public good – laying the foundations for future disease and chronic ill-health for the consumer, and a guaranteed source of revenue for the medical and pharmaceutical sectors.

Kevin reveals the shocking truth of how drugs – which are being advertised directly to the consumer, pushing their use to an all-time high – are actually the cause of illness and disease climbing to near epidemic levels.

And, though it sounds dire, Kevin offers a light in the darkness and directs the reader to scores and scores of alternative therapies, medical practices, philosophies and – most importantly – potential cures that help your body regain its natural state of health and vibrancy.

So follow Kevin on an amazing journey through the behind-the-scenes world of corporate sponsored "nutrition" and "health," and learn about "Natural Cures 'THEY' Don't Want You To Know About."

The Mood Cure: The 4-Step Program to Rebalance Your Emotional Chemistry and Rediscover Your Natural Sense of Well-Being by Julia, M. A. Ross

The Diet Cure to answer people's questions about the role of diet in mental health. The Mood Cure is even better. Can't handle stress? Can't enjoy life anymore? Does everything look bleak, even though you know it isn't? Well, much of this can be caused by bad biochemistry brought on by a poor diet, high-pressured living, and even a genetic inability to process nutrients well. In The Mood Cure Julia Ross covers the most common causes of various types of depression and anxiety (covering 4 "syndromes") and how to deal with these naturally for immediate results, sometimes within minutes. She makes heavy use of amino acids and other safe substances. Her self-treatment plans are loaded with backup options in case the original plans don't get results, as is often the case when one is hunting and punching around to find the right cause and treatment for mental symptoms

 


 

 

First Woman President - The First Woman President takes the form of an autobiograph written twenty years after the first female Commander-in-Chief left office, thus its categorization as a "future history".

Part satire, part allegory, it succinctly illustates the shortcomings in America's political system and the ills that plague western society - from a future perspective.

 


Mad In America: Bad Science, Bad Medicine, and The Enduring Mistreatment of the Mentally Ill

Hot on the heels of an optimistic film about Nobelist John Nash's schizophrenic journey comes medical journalist Robert Whitaker's disturbing exposé of the cruel and corrupt business of treating mental illness in America. Mad in America begins by surveying three centuries of mental health treatments to discover why positive outcomes for schizophrenics in the U.S. for the last 25 years have decreased--making them lower than those in developing countries. Whitaker asks, "Why should living in a country with such rich resources and advanced medical treatments for disorders of every kind, be so toxic to those who are severely mentally ill?"

One of Whitaker's answers draws upon the historic and current assumptions of a physical cause for schizophrenia. This resulted in cruel and unusual physical treatments--from ice-water immersion and bloodletting to the more contemporary electroshock, lobotomy, and drug therapies with dangerous side effects. This physical cause model leads to Whitaker's more provocative explanation: that mental illness has become a profit center. He offers disturbing details about how good business for drug companies makes for bad medicine in treating schizophrenia. From drug companies skewing their studies and patient/subjects kept in the dark about experiments to the cozy relationship between the American Psychiatric Association and drug companies, Whitaker underlines the mistreatment of the mentally ill. This courageous and compelling book succeeds as both a history of our attitudes toward mental illness and a manifesto for changing them. --Barbara Mackoff --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
