Call for volunteers: CALLING ALL PEOPLE LIVING IN CANADA WHO HAVE BEEN PRESCRIBED AN ANTIDEPRESSANT! Mad in Canada has created a short survey aimed at shedding light on the informed consent process experienced by adults who are living in Canada, and who have been prescribed antidepressants at some point in their life. Our survey is not about whether people should or should not take antidepressants. It’s about what people are being told about the potential effects of antidepressants, when they are prescribed. Learn more and take the survey here. https://t.co/55dZTrTASJ
Fantastic initiative from the true blue Aussie heroes at Adelaide University - the launch of the "Not Broken" project aiming to counter the harmful narrative of broken brains, chemical imbalances and lifelong mental illnesses that have been propagated by mental illness boosters and bring people's problems back into sensible, humanistic focus.

I can't even begin to tell you how many prescribers have commented on my social media posts in the past 5 years telling me that side effects for antidepressants are rare & tell me to stay in my lane.
Then I ask them to debate me on a podcast where I will present the research findings. Do you know how many have accepted that offer? Zero. Zip. Nada. Zilch. Nobody. Crickets.
If the prescribers are not informed how can any of us consent? It's a house of cards and it needs to fall.
Psychiatrists love lithium because it is believed to be a truly targeted treatment that justifies the whole edifice of medical diagnosis. It is nothing of the sort. It is a toxic substance that suppresses nervous system activity but is too toxic to be useful as a sedative.
Its prophylactic properties have been exaggerated because it induces mania on withdrawal. Several studies show you have a higher risk of having an episode of bipolar disorder after stopping lithium than before starting it. And it does not prevent suicide, as we showed in our systematic review (Nabi et al, 2022) and has been confirmed by others.
Lithium's toxicity and lack of utility was recognised back in the 1960s and 70s, but the allure of a supposedly specific treatment overcame any sensible discussion about it. https://t.co/l1lFU7TiRW
This is nothing short of a miracle.
Dr John Campbell breaks down the study of an 83yr old woman with stage 4 breast cancer that had metastasised to the liver, spine and bones.
Usually a death sentence.
She took a daily dose of 222mg of FenBen for 8 months. Which normalised her liver enzymes. The tumor marker dropped from 316 to 36.
There was an absence of any abnormal metabolic activity indicative of cancer. Please like, share, and follow my page. Information like this need to be heard and seen by everyone.
Repressing your emotions doesn't make them disappear. The energy stays stored in the body. And research shows it suppresses immunity — increasing vulnerability to everything from the common cold to cancer.
Feel it or carry it. That's the only choice.
AWAKEN.
I remember when we published our study back in 2019 exposing that around half of antidepressant users will experience withdrawal. There was a public/professional outcry; our reputations & jobs threatened. Now it’s broadly accepted knowledge.
Who says #TCM can’t be cutting-edge? 🕵️♂️✨
In #Nanyang, we are traveling to 13 counties to dig up "medical treasures" hidden in folk families. Students from #Russia are flying in to learn acupuncture&herbal formulas.

The evolution of Psychiatry Antidepressant talking points:
1. Depression is a brain illness
2. We can treat it like insulin for diabetes
3. Deficiency in Serotonin is responsible for depressed mood
4. SSRI's increase the availability of Serotonin and treat this brain disease
5. Antidepressants are safe, effective and non-habit forming
6. We believe the cause of depression MAY be related to imbalances of key brain chemicals
7. Antidepressants are effective for SEVERE Depression
8. Antidepressants are safe for most people
9. Antidepressants increase suicide in adolescents
10. The Serotonin Theory is an "oversimplification"
11. We don't know how antidepressants work... they just do.
12. Well.. ok Antidepressants create dependency- we were misled by the pharmaceutical companies
13. Antidepressants help a portion of people who are severely depressed.. we just don't know which ones 14. Antidepressants may cause violence, mania, and permanent sexual dysfunction... it's just extremely rare and the benefits may outweigh the risks.
15. Calling SSRI's antidepressants is probably not accurate, they are tools and its the General Practioners fault for over-prescribing
16. Lets try Ketamine
PSSD and PCSD are virtually the same thing.
The C in PCSD is Cocaine. The long term protracted withdrawal profile of both is nearly identical.
Cocaine is also a serotonin reuptake inhibitor.
Methadone = Heroin
Antidepressants = Cocaine
ADHD drugs = Meth
