GoBeDo

Thank you so much for stopping by! Time appears to be flying by way too fast and I'm looking to do something exciting with the rest of my life. I'll be starting an online fitness business called "GoBeDo" sometime this year. Be sure and check in. You'll learn about High Interval Training, Yoga, Body weight exercise, Spartan races, Functional training and whole lot more. Real $hit, for Old Timers like me. Why? We only have one shot at a grandiose and fulfilling life. Let's get busy creating one. Remember, it's the start that stops most people. The last thing I want to take to my grave is "regret!"
Peace/Love and Hugs!

Psychiatric Drugs and Mental Illness

Here are the facts! At least some of them...

■Most people who suffered from a psychotic break (schizophrenia) recovered until the advent of Big Pharma’s psychiatric drugs.
■Bipolar disorder was so rare that only about 1 in 5,000-20,000 people were disabled by it, and nearly all of them recovered—until the drug Lithium came along. Now, 1 out of somewhere between 20 and 50 Americans is diagnosed and drugged for it. It’s now considered a permanent affliction.
■In 2007, the number of disabled mentally ill children had risen 35 times over the number in 1990.
■Until people were drugged for schizophrenia, their life expectancies were the same as anyone else’s. Now, someone given that diagnosis can anticipate losing 25 years off his lifespan. That means a man who could have expected to live a typical span of 78 years in the US today is likely to reach only 53, if he’s treated with antipsychotics.

I'm Sad! Really...
