bullshit diagnoses, through recent decades

[Anonymous]

Desmorphin, discussed earlier, is a hallucinogenic substance occurring more frequently among autistic children.

Dr. Friedman contrasted the samples of normal children with autistic children. The amount and volume of particles in the autistic children was an order of magnitude more in volume and in number of them. Some of these particles include Casomorphine, A-Glaidin, Desmorphin, Deltophin II, Morphine modulating peptide, Novel Autism Peptide I, and Novel Autism Peptide III. These peptides have interaction with other neuro-peptides. Desmorphin is only found in Autistic Children and on the backs of non-captive poison dart frogs. These opioid-like molecules are thought to cause the symptoms of autism.

As for overgrowth of yeast, fungi, molds-there are many great sites, just google. Too many rx drugs and a diet based on corn syrup is reeking havoc. People just need to connect the dots.

Candida and Mental Health

http://www.snyderhealth.com/candida.htm
In the First Stage of Candida, the mucous membrane areas of the body may be infected. These include the mouth, vagina, nose, and respiratory System. Besides vaginal infections, severe P.M.S., urinary tract infections, body rashes, acne, and oral thrush, ALLERGIES to foods, dust, molds, fungus, yeast, inhalants, and chemicals are the most common symptoms. Each day more people seem to be allergic to everything in their environment. Repeated bouts of bronchitis, sinusitis, tonsillitis, and strep or staph infections may be typical. Mononucleosis and pneumonia may also be noted. It is easy to perceive that each of these successive illnesses requires more and more antibiotics, which may open the door for further Candida overgrowth. Talk about a vicious circle!

The Second Stage of Candida may involve more generalized reactions such as PAIN, HEADACHES (including MIGRAINE), EXTREME FATIGUE, PSORIASIS, INFECTIONS OF THE NAILS, MUSCLE ACHES, JOINT PAINS, AND ARTHRITIS. Naturally, drug after drug is usually taken in hopes of alleviating these miserable conditions. In most cases, the SYMPTOMS alone are being treated--while the CAUSE (candida overgrowth) may be literally being PROMOTED at the same time!

The Third Stage of Candida may involve MENTAL and BEHAVIORAL responses: inability to concentrate, not being able to read or follow a television program or carry on a hobby, serious forgetfulness, memory loss, mental confusion, not being able to think of the words to say something, switching around of words and letters when trying to speak and/or write something, loss of previous skills (such as how-to-type or how-to-play-the-piano, etc.) These frightening problems may often lead to "HOPELESS CRYING" SPELLS, SEVERE DEPRESSION, SLEEP DISORDERS (may include insomnia, confusion dreams, nightmares, apnea, and not feeling rested or restored after sleep), IRRATIONAL THOUGHTS, UNUSUAL FEARS, PHOBIAS, PANIC/ANXIETY ATTACKS, MUSCLE TWITCHING, IRRITABILITY, VIOLENCE, AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR, and even EPILEPTIC SEIZURES and THOUGHTS OF DEATH OR SUICIDE. Sometimes people with these symptoms are labeled "mentally ill", thought to be suffering from manic-depressive psychosis or schizophrenia. These desperately sick patients are sometimes turned over to the care of a psychiatrist or hospitalized in a mental institution. They may be given antidepressants, tranquilizers, lithium, etc. to lighten the mental symptoms. But the cause may be overlooked and the patient is not cured on a long-term basis.

A person in the Fourth Stage of Candida may experience a virtual SHUTDOWN OF VARIOUS ORGAN SYSTEMS of the body. For example, the adrenal glands may stop functioning when the endocrine system fails, or the digestive system may stop, producing vomiting or severe constipation. The extreme fatigue may escalate into TOTAL MUSCLE WEAKNESS, such as the neck muscles no longer being able to hold up the head. The body rashes may escalate into HIVES or BOILS. The circulatory system may be swamped with so much yeast that the capillaries are clogged, causing HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, NUMBNESS OF EXTREMITIES, and EASY BRUISING. The person may run a low-grade fever, but the hands and feet will often be very cold. The HEART may develop TACHYCARDIA (palpitations, irregular beats, mitral valve problems or heart murmur). In the respiratory system, the alveoli (air sacs) of the lungs may be packed with yeast so that the person cannot get adequate breath for speaking, singing, or exercise; there may be a FEELING OF SUFFOCATION, which may lead to HYPERVENTILATION and PANIC. The complete failure of the immune system leaves the body defenseless against all enemy bacteria, viruses, and disease conditions--including cancer.

The Fifth Stage of Candida seems inevitable at this point: rampant systemic Candidiasis is 100% fatal unless it is diagnosed early enough to kill the yeast overgrowth and regenerate the immune system.

In September 1999, Johns Hopkins medical researchers confirmed that virtually all chronic sinus infections were due to fungus. Not all findiings are that solid. As a matter of fact, few are. Rather, scientists seem confused and startled at their own discoveries with regard to fungus. Fungus makes poisonous byproducts called mycotoxins. Antibiotics are one class of mycotoxins. Without this knowledge, however, many questions are raised when researchers stumble onto this seemingly elementary fact. Recently, researchers have discovered that antibiotics are contributing to everything from 2nd heart attacks to breast cancer. It is our hope that someday when discoveries like these are made, logic will supercede confusion.

Another important aspect is acidosis
http://www.snyderhealth.com/acid.htm

So, if one has Acidosis (the standard american diet SAD is highly acidic) and an overgrowth of yeast/fungi/mold, mental/emotional symptoms can manifest.

Again, with all this information available, with science to support it, why aren't kids given probiotics during/after antibiotics? Why aren't doctors recommending low/no sugar diets for kids? ...........it's not profitable.

And a LOT of doctors are recommending these things. why aren't people choosing more qualified physcians?

Did someone already mention OCD?

or wearing all black,  I think that should be added, we had problems with that one in our family.

Mom?  Dad?  Is that you? (no really...  dresses in black was put on my "reasons for admission" to Benchmark).

Really?

Actually  I hear you.  


from past experiencse (and again I didn't have it as hard as my girlio did) as a parent I had a lot questions about clothing and hair color. As if being different was a disease.


WTF. That was the least of the issues.

the real problem was getting the ed con/TBS ball started.







stay positive, you can do this.

Huh? What the fuck is the last poster talking about? Put down the bottle, quit jamming crystal meth up your ass, and come back later when you can string together a coherent train of thought.

Parents.  Welcome to Fornits TTI forum...  Try to have a stomach for a little while until the forum anon posters feel you out(though some might always hate parents).

TheWho said -

One of the challenges for psychiatrists and/ or psychologists is to constantly bridge the gap between diagnosis and insurance reimbursement. They also need to keep their thumb on the pulse of what the pharmaceutical industry is testing or presently has in clinical trials so they can reduce couch time (which insurance companies hate) and prescribe more drugs.

First, any doctor gets paid for procedures, not diagnosis - so you are 100% wrong there. psychiatrists never get reimbursed for a diagnosis or a perscription. they are only paid by office visit, whether med management, psychotherapy - whatever.

It's laughable you would spread this false information. In fact, the large percentage of psychiatrists in private practice no longer take insurance because they are paid a pittance by insurance corporations. Get your facts straight before you post.

A cardiologist may diagnose you with heart failure, but they don't get paid for that. They get paid for the myraid of tests which are reimbursable.

Let me simplify:  Pretty much anyone can get reimbursed from their insurance company for an initial visit to a doctor’s office (per visit).  But the ball is in the doctor’s lap to place a label or “Diagnosesâ€

TheWho -

FYI - I hope you stand by what you post - the APA will be hearing about the BS you have posted - if you want to talk about harmful info (porn blah blah) on fornits, then I hope you'll be accountable for the inflammatory things you are posting. Because you are liable for the false information you spread.

As a precaution, I have copy and pasted your post, so you can't edit it. Two can play at this game, you cry foul when someone posts something that doesn't agree with you, but have no problem doing the same exact thing. Posting incorrect and misleading info. You also play the litgious card. So, what you post can and will be heald against you.

Also the doctor is given monetary incentives to prescribe competing brands of medication, Zoloft vs Prozac for example.

Really? How? You are talking out of your ass now and have no clue how drug reps and physicians interact.

explain, so you can continue to dig your own hole.

TheWho said

Virtually all private practice doctors accept insurance of some type.  

 
Virtually all? hahahaha - you have no clue, pal - no clue. Unless you have some numbers - then just keep digging.

Ummmm..... I think I'm missing something.

Now clearly I don't know as much about the American medical system as most of you do, but I had previously understood most of what theWho has posted to be true. More than that, I don't understand why guest is so upset about what he's posted. If indeed he's wrong, I really don't get why there is anything to be pissed off about. How could it possibly serve his motives to mislead about this?

The finer distinction is there are differences between psychiatry/current hmo system/child gulags.

Spreading false info is OK, as long as kids gets screwed and/or it serves TheWho's purposes.

Fornits has got to wake up to this guy, who is basically a wolf in sheeps clothing. He wins you over with false info and then starts ringing the bells of programs.

Seems like alot of cognitive dissonance to me. & alot of BS.

[Rachael]

But what specifically are you claiming is incorrect? I just don't understand. I for one don't know any different...

[Anonymous]

First check your PM's.

Second, basically everything TheWho has posted in totally false.

Doctors do not get money for prescribing one thing over another. Expensive drug dinners (which only the ethically challenged go to) and receiving pens is not a financial incentive as he suggests.

It is false & basically he is insinuating that doctors are being bribed by pharm companies.

Second, he is saying that private practice docs get paid by insurance. False, again.

Third, he is saying that doc's get paid for diagnosing people, that there is an financial gain to diagnose. Again, false and libelous.

I'm just wondering TheWho  - how can you speak so confidently about this, where the hell do you get your info !!!??!!

I am not insinuating, I have stated that there are incentives to prescribe one competing medication over another.  You may call it bribes if you like.  In post soviet eastern bloc countries they call it "Gifts"  so you choose.
 

Second, he is saying that private practice docs get paid by insurance. False, again.

Look , My daughter saw several therapists who were in private practice.  On our plan, at the time, we were covered for 12 visits per year (as I recall) and when they were exhausted we paid out of pocket.  Ask someone else or call a therapist if you doubt this info.

Third, he is saying that doc's get paid for diagnosing people, that there is an financial gain to diagnose. Again, false and libelous.

No, I said the doctor needs to diagnose a patient and label them into a category that is acceptable to their insurance company in order to get paid for ongoing visits or medication. If the doctor submits “Afraid of mother-in-lawâ€

This is an open forum, you are free to post a link which proves or supports your position. I am posting from first hand experience and second hand knowledge, as my brother-in-law is in private practice.

Really, your brother-in-law is a private practice pdoc?

A yes or no will suffice.
