I was very glad to see MKUltra appear in this article. It is so easily ignored or overlooked. That is an avenue of psychological abuse that remains relevant to this day because MKUltra programs *never* ceased. They changed names and became even more secret, entrenched as methodologies of individual and mass mind control utilised by the 13 international occult societies, dozens of military-grade intelligence organisations, and organised crime syndicates. I will write more on it at a later time, but it is truly a soul-taxing topic to research.
This is great. I totally agree. I know so many people that are getting high on marijuana on a regular basis now as well as searching for the next psychedelic experience. Under the guise that it’s good for mental health. Which is completely false. As a person who travels by bicycle and by foot, and I commute the same way, plus I’m a Yoga Instructor I found that exercise is the only drug. I need that good nutrition as free is, it can be from processing pesticides and insecticides as well. Thanks for your hard work on this article is excellent.
Agree that using psychedelics needs a careful hand and the medical industrial complex is not to be trusted with it. Dose, setting, preparation beforehand and integration afterwards. When done properly the potential for healing is enormous. But done properly is not a pill for your ill. It can offer insights but you have to do the work to integrate them into your own life. If we could find a place for them in our culture and use them appropriately then it could be a part of us expanding into a broader view of our place in the ecosystem. Again done properly, it can be a humbling experience which might be quite helpful with all the hubris around these days. I hope it is done in a healthy fashion and that it can help us to connect with Nature and the complex systems around us that are much smarter than any device we have created so far. Whatever we might have come to believe in our delusions we are part of a complex spiralling of systems and learning the dance would be a lot more helpful than trying to dominate and be on top.
Yes, I can't argue with what you have said. The only additional point I would make is that there are as many paths to good health as there are people, so it's better not to discount any treatment which has helped some. I know little about psychedelics, but would support the use of ones that occur in nature and have a long history of use by native cultures. As for Ketamine, LSD and other synthetic versions, I would put those in the same basket as other pharma drugs, use only if everything else has failed and for a short burst only.
I tried fasting for a fortnight with Hopewood Health. I felt as though I was drowning in all the mucous my lungs and sinuses were producing and afterwards took a long time to recover from a terrible weakness. Have done light fasts on vegetable juice.
It is really sad but true that our health system is all based on money! I have really bad rheumatoid and Unfortunately I do have to take a drug to mitigate damage and pain. However exercise and a plant based diet keep the drug at a low level. Also have brochiactuses and chronic sinus and find the saline solution in the nebulisa as well as a little hydrogen peromxide works wonders for the respiratory challenges. The problem with drugs is the side effects, hence more drugs to counteract the increasing side effects. Whether the disease is mental or physical the drugs easily put us on a roller coaster.
I've never been tempted by drugs (licit or illicit) of any kind. A natural drug like opiate-mimicking endorphins, on the other hand, which you get from vigorous exercise are my real addiction but its a healthy drug dependence to have with a huge positive pay-off. If only there wasn't a downside like the odd muscle strain or some other bio-mechanical stress. Still, like love, it is much better to have exercised and lost (twinged a muscle) than never to have exercised at all.
It is probably the reason (along with a plant-based diet) that has kept me out of doctors' offices and pharmacies for much longer than my peers.
Nice to know, however, that it's not just endorphins, that are doing us exercisers so much good.
I think that many people really struggle to break free from detrimental patterns of behaviour controlled by the subconscious mind. In such cases, exercise may be very helpful but unachievable, expecially over the long-term. Psychedelics appear to have unique ability to breach or reset ingrained behaviours, unlike other psyche pharma drugs that tend to numb overall awareness and don't facilitate change. Of course the profiteers will jump on the band-wagon, but psychedelics, especially in natural form, maybe very beneficial and should be futher researched.
Diversity; that there are as many ways to good health as there are people on the planet. Our fundamental psychological needs may not be that different, but our psychological situations are.

Thank you for writing this, so refreshing to read amongst the increasing emergence of the psychedelic fanfare.

Hi Robyn. Do you have any article about the risks of the pertussis vaccine during pregnancy?
