I had basically started seeing a psychiatrist because at age 17 I thought my problems were bigger than they really were. I remember my dad telling me to be careful with the "powerful medicine" I was prescribed. But I figured it wouldn't be much of a problem if I simply took it as prescribed. Long story short, I was wrong. Meds were the last thing I needed and I'm positive I wouldn't have to be on SSDI today if I had strictly seen the therapist instead of a psychiatrist as well when I first sought mental healthcare.
I guess its like how they say "you never know what you got til it's gone."
But I try to be a Christian and believe, but ever since meds had their effect on me, I'm not really able to feel "spiritual". I'm not certain about global warming. I'm leaning towards it being real and caused by humans, but I guess I still need to read into it some more myself.
I know on every gallon of milk it has a statement saying something along the lines of "no difference has been shown between milk from cows treated and not treated with hormones" at least it says this on the jugs where I live.
People talk of negative effects from fluoride on our mental health. I'm not sure I buy into this thought.
I've read on what are referred to as phytates in breads. If I remember correctly, phytates are found in the largest amounts in whole grain breads, with white breads being much lower (if they contain phytates at all). But one effect phytate have is to decrease the absorption of minerals in our bodies. I switched to whole grains a few years ago and lately I've noticed I've developed two cavities. So now I'm considering the phytate in my bread might have played role in this. But the only bread the officials recommend is whole grain bread. Maybe I wouldn't have any cavities if I had stuck with white bread. Who knows.... But still, whole grains are advertised by various agencies to be the best choice.
And concerning adderall or any other psychoactive med being prescribed to little children... doctors and drug companies got the "go ahead" to use these chemicals on little kids because of "studies" where they were shown to be safe and effective in this age group. Probably not a process much more thorough than studies showing these meds haven't played a role in a person's violent thoughts or actions. But I suppose I could be wrong.
