Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain John J. Ratey, MD See book keywords and concepts

The article was positioned as advice for doctors, but how is it that a summary of treatments for general anxiety disorder in the bible of medical research simply left out exercise? It's a case of what I would call clinical blindness. The mounting research on the neurological and psychological benefits of exercise seems to be hidden in plain sight. Interestingly, it was the cardiologists who spoke up. The NEJM published a letter from doctors Carl Lavie and Richard Milani of the Ochsner Clinic Foundation in New Orleans.

I usually combine yuan zhi with blue vervain and motherwort for people with general anxiety disorder. For people with pent-up emotions and suppressed anger, I combine it with mimosa bark and holy basil. Yuan zhi also is used to resolve "phlegm clouding the heart," which describes a number of conditions such as schizophrenia, amnesia, Alzheimer's disease, dementia, and the mental confusion caused by serious cardiac illness. In animal studies, a compound found in yuan zhi known as tenuifoliside B has been shown to have neuroprotective and cognitive-enhancing effects.

Introducing nine new made-up diseases for drug companies to exploit with mind-altering drugs (satire) Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is perhaps the best known fictitious disease invented to sell psychotropic drugs, but there are many other made-up diseases such as general anxiety disorder (GAD). All this is headed to an obvious conclusion: every quirky or uncomfortable human behavior will soon be labeled a disease, and a medication will be quickly be dispensed to deal with that "disease."

Examples include ADHD, FSD (female sexual dysfunction), general anxiety disorder, and other made-up diseases that have no purpose other than selling drugs.

Denied that cigarette makers manipulated the level of nicotine in their products: Similarly, the drug companies deny that they created fictitious diseases like ADHD and "General Anxiety Disorder" in order to sell mind-altering drugs to people who have absolutely no medically-measurable symptoms of disease whatsoever. The common diagnosis of these diseases has no scientific basis. They were invented and promoted by the psychiatric industry and drug companies in order to financially enrich both.
