    Thank you so much …
    Thank you so much again I love your videos. I have been diagnosed from pillar to post for over 40 years. Chemical imbalance I have been told so many times. As the DSM expanded so it seems do my “apparent” illnesses and the writing of more and more prescriptions … I still struggle all the time am I really ill am I not. Been put on drugs on and off for the last 20 years. I am beginning to believe they have caused some of the symptoms I now have. My last diagnoses and not my first was Bi-polar.

    Could you please …
    Could you please direct me to some alternamtive methods for dealing with Adult ADD (inattentive subtype) and generalized anxiety. I recovered from being depressed almost my whole life without having to stay on drugs, and stayed recovered for the last 4 years, but I have relapses of anxiety and inattentiveness dealing with academics.

    In the beginning of …
    In the beginning of the video, you claim anti-depressants do not work. Well, if you also claim that these medications alter your brain, what is the point of taking them? Why would someone take something that alters their brain yet does not work according to the “evidence”? This doesn’t add up. It’s almost contradicting.

    One of the greatest videos I’ve seen yet by Dr. Breeding. I completely agree with everything you said there. You’re doing a wonderful thing for people with this type of psychoeducation about alternatives and the harmful effects of medication over time and in general.

    Marketing? So …
    Marketing? So you’re telling me the psychopharmacologists and psychiatrists have lied to me by telling me these drugs can help? So basically all the psychiatrists, doctors, people who deal with marketing, and others are in one big scam or on one huge team against the less educated public? They diagnose someone with anything they can and then make drugs that do not work, yet alter your brain, and sell them so that each part of this “team” makes money? I’m very skeptical about this…

    I’d check your diet first. Do you eat a lot of processed foods with msg, aspartame and chemical additives. They’ve all been shown to affect brain functions. I eat more fruits and veg than anything else.

    Second do you watch much TV? It’s got a whole array of problems but the flicker of the screen will put your mind into a receptive state for the lies and NLP programming that’s state approved. This is not a relaxed state of mind.

    Do you know how to calm yourself and relax you mind and body?

    I liked the advice in general. Slow down, learn who you are rather than what “modern culture” is telling you to be. The modern sensory overload is blinding people.

    My diet is not good. I know about chemical additives put into foods, what is inserted into processed foods, and I know it’s bad for you. The problem isn’t the lack of knowledge, it’s lack of motivation.

    No, I do not watch TV often; I hate t.v.. Instead of this “receptive state” (I highly agree with this, btw) that most people fall into while television, I fall into a pessimistic state. I find scams, subliminal messages, and stupidity all the time.

    Once we all allow nature to run it’s course entirely, we will be a peaceful world. Ask Dr. Breeding about the power of the beard. My theory is that once a boy accepts his beard, free from vain, will he then be a man.

    It took three years but I got my friend off meds (and Doritos) and on roller-blades.
    Success!

    If you have a friend on meds..it takes a lot of time and patience to wipe away the illusion that the meds are necessary. However, if it matters a lot to you, definitely try.
    Just about every person I know who is on meds [ADHD/Depression/Sleep/Bipolar], refuses proper diet, sleep, and exercise. Coincidence? HAha no

    what if nature does …
    what if nature does not consider man’s happiness in it’s process? to let it run it’s course could mean death. anti-depressants are not the cure but they are a tool for a person to at least control nature when it is violent and destructive to a person. it should not be used over long periods of time, considering the side effects but it also should not be discredited completely as it can be useful. on a side note, i wonder why my last comment was deleted and not responded to.

    It amazes me when supposedly intelligent people can’t tell the difference between “conspiracy” and “commonality of interest”. Both these dynamics often lead to the same result and if we use our brains it’s quite easy to follow the money/prestige trail without confusing one with the other.
    Give it a go r4legend and see what you get.

    True…
    Antidepressants take advantage of the emotion of hope. Doctors will prescribe one after the other and the patient is meant to judge if they feel better or not. The drugs do not have a clearly measurable effect. They are not mood elevators and doctors do not really know much about their effects. Withdrawal must be very gradual with the emphasis of VERY. It took me a a year.

    We are supposed to have feelings - they are normal and popping pills never helped anyone deal with life. It took me a long time to see through psychiatry’s lies - It’s so sad to see others fry their brains on the “medications” I hate to think of America’s future…

    Mans happiness is up to the man. He must accept the good with he bad, not get lost in the bad and forget the good. What could be violent and destructive and completely inavoidable? nothing. Just watch out for danger and do the moral thing and youll be happy most of the time.
