professional advice

My firm committment to natural health care with a particular focus on solely natural approaches for my mental health have left me with a biological age that is decades younger than my chronological age. The feeling has been so weird to be relating so well to men and women who are a lot younger than me that I refuse to even consider my actual age and I stopped celebrating birthdays a long time ago. At times I am told I'm behaving like an adolescent kid when I refuse to make myself feel old and go lay in a dark room instead of sharing interests and lifestyles with men and women who are decades younger than me. It's almost as if I'm being told to behave myself and act my age. Well, I personally like the theme of Blackpinks song "Forever Young" and I simply don't want to feel old. It is my position it's a bad psychological approach which could lead to serious depression if you insist someone simply act their age instead of wanting to stay young in body, mind, and spirit! I suggest feeling, thinking and being young as long as possible!

I personally drink several cups of coffee daily. I like my coffee iced and black. It is my opinion that unless you suffer from high blood pressure drinking coffee in moderation daily may promote good overall health. Early in the morning my first cup of iced coffee helps me fight off fatigue and increase my energy levels which is particularly important for my alertness when I'm driving. Studies have shown drinking between two to five cups of coffee daily may also help protect you from heart disease, type 2 diabetes, several types of cancer, depression, being overweight, liver diseases, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. These benefits of coffee drinking may actually increase your longevity. I suggest avoiding sugar and artificial sweeteners in your coffee. You may want to add a little cinnamon or vanilla to your coffee for taste and some enhanced health benefits. 

I do not think psychiatric drugs serve any positive purpose. Their clearance by government and professional bodies for clinical use on people manifests a very deep problem in the evolution of modern civilization with what is called progress in this instance manifesting pure ignorance. These very dangerous drugs are being prescribed for supposed psychiatric conditions, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, which in themselves have no credible scientific basis as disease entities. There are no biological markers and lab tests for these elusive labels. They are subjective labels based on socioeconomic and political variables and that's not good medical science. And so the psychiatric drugs prescribed for these labels which hit very sensitive areas of your brain are actually being prescribed by mad scientists with you being made into experimental lab rats as the psychiatrists make a fortune playing with fire with your life. I suggest only natural interventions for the prevention and treatment of mental health issues.  

The old cliche that there are a lot of things far more important than money for your health, wellbeing & happiness simply isn't true in the kind of world mankind has created. You should never trust psychiatrists or others who keep insisting money isn't essential for the wellbeing of yourself and the children. This is a cruel move to actually try to create a lifetime of painful chronic dependence and disability. Of course being very wealthy does not provide anyone with an impenetrable shield from serious accidents, deadly infectious diseases, cancer, depression, anxiety, and other serious illnesses. However, you have a better chance at prevention and recovery with more and more money and healthier lifestyles. And in times of health or sickness chances are you will cope better with the advantages only money can buy for you. Furthermore, you simply can not secure your own freedom in a healthy way without money. Political rhetoric that your freedom is more important than money is hypocritically absurd unless you consider it perversely enjoyable to be able to rant about your democratic freedoms as a starving delirious homeless person under a bridge in Los Angeles or on a street corner with gangs tracking you down in North Philadelphia or Harlem. Sure, love and affection and mutually desirable sexual relations attract many of us, but without the advantages money buys us all you will be too sick and weak to be able to experience these basic human emotions and desires in a positive way. Anyone with money who tells you money isn't important is using their financial advantage to try to sadistically set you up for a lifetime of hell! Study, work and fight for your rights for a decent amount of money! Your freedom &  overall health in body, mind & spirit really depends on it! 

I do not support the idea that now that there's drugs that can prevent AIDs why not run around and have all the casual sex you want. The drugs themselves can have horrible side effects including serious liver poblems which can be lethal. Furthermore, there are also other venereal diseases which can be serious which you can get such as penicillin resistant syphilis and gonorrhea. It's a horrible idea for me to consider taking potentially toxic drugs to supposedly enjoy sex. Honestly the best idea for your health in body, mind and spirit is to be very selective and careful about all sexual encounters. And due to the risk of various types of venereal diseases I suggest condoms for consensual sex between adults unless you are mutually trying to have a child. Even birth control pills have the potential for many serious side effects and still leave you open to risk for the transmission of venereal diseases. 

 I do not endorse the use of any tranquilizers to relax. In fact even though I am legally allowed to carry a DEA # to write for controlled substances I don't bother with one. Even the minor tranquilizers carry with them the risk of addiction, tolerance & withdrawal. Furthermore, tranquilizers generally lead you into depressive states, they have very dangerous interactions with even a little alcohol, and you're risking your life and the lives of others if you drive under the influence of tranquilizers. Furthermore, your mind can't possibly be as alert for school, work or for your personal life under the influence of tranquilizers. So I suggest regular aerobic exercise and meditation to relax. Walking, jogging, riding a bike, and swimming are great types of exercise which I recommend doing about 30 minutes daily. Adding about 20 minutes of daily meditation will add to your capacity to relax naturally without drugs!

The daily vivid images of war in the Middle East & between Russia & Ukraine on Al Jazeera & other news outlets is disturbing. Our minds are being imploded with violence & human suffering of a scale not seen since World War II. Most recently it has been suggested by some sources in Russia & elsewhere that we are actually in World War III now. Maps of likely nuclear attack strike points have been appearing online with suggestions this eras hypersonic nuclear bombs will wipe out entire cities. I do not suggest support for war hysteria & pro war sentiments to cope with these shocking developments. A way to try to maintain your sanity at this time is to aggressively support initiatives for peace, not war. Let the politicians know you expect them to work tirelessly for peaceful solutions to the present hostilities & they will be held accountable if they're not careful with their words & actions. And be very careful what you publish online about adversial powers at this time. I suggest letting them know you're more interested in peace & a normalization of relations than military confrontation. A committment to this course of action & some prayers might help save us all!     

My position on whether you can have a good relationship without marriage and children is yes. However, some people prefer marriage and children. This is a very personal choice which depends on the two of you who are sharing a close personal relationship. The most important things are the love, care, trust and consideration which you share with each other.  

I do not suggest accepting advice that claims children are better off focusing on just "more important things in life" and not on money. In times of health and sickness anybody is simply better off with as much money as possible. Psychiatrists consistently take the position there are more important things in life than money, but in the kind of world mankind has created you can not have your freedom and dignity intact and enjoy any degree of quality of life without money. Even good natural healthcare costs money. You can't get fresh fruits and vegetables, fish, green tea, coffee, quality clothing, and healthy housing without money. It's a set up for modern day slavery which the psychiatrists feed off of when they say your children and you shouldn't be placing money as a priority in your lives. Children should be taught the value of money and how to handle money well as early in life as possible. And there should be business courses starting in grade school for the kids!  

There is evidence that drinking red wine may offer many health benefits. Consider the “French paradox" wherein although the French overall have a higher than average saturated fat intake, the French die less often from coronary heart disease due to their higher consumption of red wine. There are many antioxidants in red wine which protect your cells from damage. The antioxidants which are found in red wine are polyphenols, with resveratrol being a polyphenol of particular interest. Resveratrol may protect your brain and heart from damage from free radicals. Resveratrol may also lower the risk of many types of cancer by interfering with cancer cell growth. And heart health may be improved in red wine drinkers because it helps lower the risk of plaque buildup in the arteries. Furthermore the polyphenols in red wine prevent the formation of certain proteins which create toxic plaques that can lead to death of brain cells. And so drinking red wine may lower the risk of Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. There also appears to be lower rates of stroke and depression in red wine drinkers. Overall drinking red wine in moderation may be associated with better health and a longer life.

Henry David Thoreau  once wrote  "All nature is doing her best each moment to make us well—she exists for no other end. Do not resist her. With the least inclination to be well we should not be sick." Getting more fresh air & exercise is a good prescription to improve your health physically, mentally, & spiritually. This is best achieved with a strong connection with nature as experienced by feeling a close relationship or an emotional attachment to nature. Spending time in nature has been associated with improved attention, less stress, improved mood, less risk of psychiatric disorders, better empathy, better physical health & improved spiritual awareness. And more doses of exposure to nature can actually help alleviate depression & anxiety.
