Recovery, in this case, means that patients are free of symptoms and signs, that they are getting on well with their family and the community, and that they are paying income tax or are productive members of society in other ways.
In comparison, about 50% of schizophrenic patients who are given the three basics of proper treatment for any disease - adequate housing, good nutrition, and compassion, respect, and dignity - will recover. In contrast, adult schizophrenics who are treated with drugs alone and who do not receive these three basic necessities have a recovery rate below 10%. |

Only one in five voters said the press should report that a presidential candidate is taking antidepressants, placing it below spouse abuse, income tax evasion, exaggerated military or academic record, ongoing or past affair, homosexuality, cocaine and marijuana use, or a past drinking problem as an area of concern.41 In 2004, in a Rice University study of attitudes toward mental illness in the Houston area, respondents were twelve times more likely to ascribe the cause of mental illness to a brain disorder than to a character flaw. |

Beyond this, given that healthy, normal people in North America have an average income of roughly $40,000 annually and pay income tax of about $8,000, the loss of society per schizophrenic in tax is roughly $300,000 during the 40 -year life span of their illness. Fortunately, many of these costs can be eliminated with the use of vitamin B-3 to treat schizophrenia, not to mention the human toll in suffering and suicide among schizophrenia patients and their families.

For fiscal conservatives and libertarians, some experts say a green tax on polluting businesses can ultimately replace an income tax and end up saving us all in taxes.
Such a tax could stimulate a move to produce eventually zero toxic waste and totally carbon neutral effects.
Reports from Europe, where a green tax is growing in popular appeal, show that such taxes seem to accomplish their goals and are actually good for society.
In Ireland, a green tax was recendy introduced on supermarket bags and has already cut the country's use of nonrecyclable bags by more than a billion and earned 3. |

We might possibly be saved, he explains, if the nation engages in massive, radical reform in three areas: 1) Eliminating the current income tax system and moving to a national retail sales tax of 33 percent. 2) Privatizing social security so that workers own their savings accounts and the federal government can no longer swipe funds from Social Security. 3) Launching a national health insurance program that covers everyone and relies on a system of government-issued vouchers that citizens can spend with health insurance companies. |

Let's say right now you're taking home $1,000 / week, and you're paying a 35% federal income tax rate. That's $350. Under the Fair Tax, you'd get to take home your full earnings: $1,350 / week.
Furthermore, the money you take home will actually go further because the products and services that you purchase will be less expensive. Sounds good so far, right? But the obvious question is, "How does the federal government raise revenues to fund itself, then?"
Let's get to the part of Fair Tax where you're actually paying the tax. |
| First the Fair Tax replaces all of the taxes you're currently paying, in terms of payroll tax and federal income tax. It also initially makes goods and services cheaper because the manufacturers aren't paying all of those taxes either, so goods can be delivered to the retail stores at lower price levels. But it adds a 20 percent retail sales tax on all goods and services. There is an annual rebate that goes back to each individual, meaning that the Fair Tax costs nothing to poor people, and yet taxes people who choose to consume at higher levels. |

Governments could recognize nutrition therapy fees under 'medicare' and as income tax deductions. This would encourage doctors and patients to use nutrition instead of drugs. Governments on behalf of the people of Canada must take the initiative to finance studies to show the effectiveness of Nutritional Therapy and Nutrition as a method of disease prevention. Industry cannot finance nutrition research because their shareholders demand profits. Nutrients cannot be patented and therefore there is no way to recover the costs of the research. |

How does one compare these two results? It is very simple. The vast majority of schizophrenics never do recover. However, a large proportion of early schizophrenic patients do when they are treated by naturopathic nutrition and orthomolecular medicine. I know personally 17 men and women practicing medicine and psychiatry who were all teenage schizophrenics. On the orthomolecular regimen, they have recovered. Several have academic appointments. |

Other Lorello-backed companies met a similar fate. Years later, one anonymous investment banker who had long competed against Lorello told the New York Post: "Ben does deals no one else will touch." But by the time the transactions he had put together came apart, Lorello had moved on to other deals.
In 1999, Lorello himself moved on—to even greener pastures. |

Once again it must be noted that the "socialist" or "communist" nostrums allegedly designed to pull down the rich and elevate the poor—such as the progressive income tax1— always work to eliminate the middle class and, ultimately, to produce just the opposite of their advertised objective. That this has been true in the United States is obvious. |
