"I do not know of any supplements with proven value for drug withdrawal but you can certainly find many suggestions in books and on the internet. In general, remember that anything you take that "works," even if it is "natural," is adding to the load of chemicals that your brain must contend with. Moderate exercise is healthy for all of us and can be very valuable when withdrawing from drugs. Eating healthy and getting plenty of sleep is also important. Spending time doing things you really enjoy is a great help in withdrawing, and in life in general." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

"In our session, it was revealed quickly that Jae loved violent computer games—particularly the ones that allowed him to interact with other players over the internet. His parents had noticed his love for these games early on and had been extremely vigilant about restricting the amount of time he was allowed to play them to a maximum of two hours a day. They also enforced a very strict policy of finishing homework before bedtime, and in this rule they were absolute and unbending." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.) "Do some research on the internet, and you'll find great outdoor experiences. Dancing Enroll your family in a dance class or rent some instructional videos for your family to practice at home. Dance can encourage both lively physical activity and creativity in your child. Children love opportunities to act silly and to move freely. Dance offers your children the excuse to do just that. Activities to Keep Them Challenged With our guidance, children with ADD/ADHD can be moved toward athletic activities that challenge them physically and mentally." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.) "Do some research on the internet for specialized playgroups, day-care centers, camps, and advocacy organizations in your area. If you find that your community doesn't offer this type of help, consider creating a group yourself. After all, ADD/ADHD affects a shockingly large portion of the population, as we know by now, and it's likely that people close at hand are facing many of the same problems. It's easier to find them than you would suspect, and they're just as happy to explore options that will make your lives easier." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.)

"Nongovernmental organizations link up through the internet and develop shared strategies to restore peace, revitalize war-torn regions and environments, and ensure an adequate supply of food and water. They promote socially and ecologically responsible policies in local and national governments and in business. The Crystallizing Contours of a Cooperative World • Money is reassigned from military and defense budgets to fund practical attempts at conflict resolution and the implementation of internationally agreed and globally coordinated social and ecological sustainability projects." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.)

"But few have read the uninviting 284-page full-length version of the NCEP expert panel's report, available on the internet. Most doctors probably figured it wasn't necessary. The summary assures its readers that the full document is "an evidence-based and extensively referenced report that provides the scientific rationale for the recommendations contained in the executive summary." • More than half of adult Americans over the age of 35 have LDL cholesterol levels of 130 mg/dL or higher." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) "The FDA reviewers' reports posted on the internet provide an unusual opportunity to compare the unprocessed data from the manufacturer-sponsored CLASS and VIGOR studies with the medical journal articles and "medical knowledge" that they subsequently became. Unlike the articles about statins and strokes that I investigated, this went beyond spin. One of the most surprising (and frightening) parts of this story is that even though all this information was (and is) publicly available, that knowledge has done little to correct doctors' and patients' beliefs that these drugs are superior." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) "There was little awareness that most of this information had been made available to serve commercial interests; one study showed that the focus of 80 percent of internet sites that address back pain is advertising, and only 12 percent of the sites were rated as "high-quality") The stage could not have been set more perfectly for prescription drug advertising to become a major force in American medicine. And so it did. In 1991 the drug companies spent a paltry $55 million on advertising drugs directly to consumers." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) "A 2004 article published in the International Journal of Technology Assessment in Health Care shows just how difficult it is to get unbiased information from the internet. Researchers from the British Columbia Office of Health Technology Assessment identified the consumer health websites most frequently selected by widely used search engines. They then compared the information about bone mineral density testing presented on those sites with the information presented on the websites of noncommercially funded health technology assessment organizations." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"Hundreds of articles and research studies extolling the cancer benefits gleaned from vitamin C have been published and are readily available via the internet and in countless magazines and publications. CLINICAL STUDIES In a study published in 1991, researchers from the Geriatric Clinic Kantonsspital, at the University of Basel, Switzerland, reported that plasma antioxidant vitamins A, C, and E and carotene were measured in a group of 2,974 men participating in the third examination of the prospective Basel Study in 1971-1973." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.) "In Europe, many cases have been anecdotally reported as well as methodically collected, and are being made available at CIRIS, a European-based information internet site dedicated to the work of Beljanski. Jean Migliorelli developed a relatively benign but troubling adenoma of the prostate at age 70. His PSA rate, already 19 (the normal rate being under 5), continued to rapidly increase until hitting 39." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"But the New York Times articles had been published and the actual documents were already circulating on the internet. As much and probably more than any other drug company that I've encountered, Eli Lilly has perfected the art of dodging any boomeranging bullets that it fires at unsuspecting patients. Eli Lilly is probably the main reason that the public remains unaware that millions of persons may have been hurt and may even have been killed by newer antidepressants like Prozac and newer antipsychotics like Zyprexa." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

"I read a study on the internet that said Applied Behavior Analysis has helped some kids recover," said The Idiot Dad In Denial. She didn't seem impressed, and essentially answered, "It's your money." "What's his IQ?" "Sixty-nine. Mild retardation." "How high could it get with special education?" "Sixty-nine." "Is it at all possible to get it higher?" Eric asked. "It would take a miracle." She stood. Eric didn't bother to tell her that he believed in miracles, and in luck, too-and not just because of God. As the great golfer Ben Hogan once said, "Golf is a game of luck." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"The essay was written in response to a discussion question about parents censoring what their children are exposed to on TV, in the movies, or on the internet. Mike weighed the pro and con arguments in a seemingly rational manner and concluded that parents need to monitor their children's entertainment. In his concluding remarks, Mike described a song about suicide and warned that music like that could encourage a child to hang himself, breaking his mother's heart." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

"Self-medication by ADHD adults appears to be increasing in incidence of late, because controlled pharmaceutical substances are now easier than ever to acquire, due to their availability on the internet. In addition, adults with ADHD are more vulnerable than most people to the overuse of less acutely harmful substances, such as nicotine, caffeine, and even sugary foods. Because of this, there is a higher rate of smoking among people with ADHD, and a higher rate of obesity, despite the fact that hyperactive symptoms burn calories." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"Controlling Free Speech In Nazi Germany, written ideas that did not conform to the fascist government beliefs were burned. The internet makes censorship more difficult today, although controlling the internet is now at the top of the elite rulers' agenda. The FDA has decided on a temporary strategy that is the equivalent of Nazi book burning. It is critically important for them to control knowledge about natural health options to prevent a public revolt due to a lack of results produced by current medicines." - Byron J. Richards, Fight for Your Health: Exposing the FDA's Betrayal of America (Get the book.) "Americans Must Join Together Today, communication is easier than ever before. The internet allows for news to spread rapidly and for people to connect. It is a new community, which still needs grounding in strong local communities. We must continue to have internet freedom, with equal access for all. The freedom fighters in America now have battles on multiple fronts." - Byron J. Richards, Fight for Your Health: Exposing the FDA's Betrayal of America (Get the book.)

"He's spent the last four years posting his findings on the internet and volunteering to talk to anyone else who suffers from the disease. • After an unanticipated colon cancer surgery, Linda initially told her family not to utter a word about it to anyone. Over time, her emotional freedom came from speaking at corporate "lunch-n-learn" programs about the importance of colonoscopies in cancer prevention. • One year after Andy's kidney transplant, he looked for a way to make his life meaningful and inspirational to others." - Rick Foster, Greg Hicks, M.D., Jen Seda, Choosing Brilliant Health: 9 Choices That Redefine What It Takes to Create Lifelong Vitality and Well-Being (Get the book.)

"The FDA can't stand it, and the drug companies would rather the internet just be shut down, because they were operating just fine when information was controlled by the press; then they could control the release of information through scientific journals and the media, and people would only get the information the drug companies wanted them to get. That's how they started building these immense fortunes through the 80s and the early 90s, and it is only now, with the internet in place, that the truth about drug companies is starting to come out." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.)

"Michael Spencer, The internet Monk You could interpret Mr. Spencer's quotation above in two ways. First, you can think he is saying, "Because I am fat, I hide." On the other hand, he might be saying, "I stay fat or become fat in order to hide." The question is, which strategy resembles your own behavior? You may be part of the first group. You became heavy for all the emotional eating reasons we have pursued in the preceding two sessions of Shrink Yourself, and because you're heavy, and embarrassed about it, you're hiding from the world until you lose the weight." - Roger Gould, Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever (Get the book.)

"Do some research. The internet offers many authoritative and noncommercial resources on supplement research, including the Linus Pauling Institute Gpi.oregonstate.edu] and the U.S. government's National Library of Medicine [www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/}. • Vitamin A has come under scrutiny. Long-term use of vitamin A supplements-over twenty years-may increase the possibility of hip fracture. We don't recommend more than 5,000 units of pure vitamin A [retinyl palmitate) a day. We prefer natural carotenoids (such as beta-carotene), which the liver converts into vitamin A as needed." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.) "An excellent article on FIR, including how to build one for under $100 in your own home, appeared in the November 2002 issue of Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients (call the publication for a reprint at 360-385-6021 or download the article from the internet at the Find Articles Web site: www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0ISW/is_2002_Nov/ai_93736414].

"Recognizing that her HMO doctors had betrayed her, Dotty did what many other intelligent but injured patients finally do—she started reading on her own about drugs on the internet and at the library. Dismayed at what she found, Dotty tapered herself off medication. Dotty came to me for help in staying off psychiatric drugs and in getting her life together. She was already on the road to regaining her sense of self after almost six years in a drug stupor. She also wanted to consult with me about a lawsuit against the HMO and its doctors." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

"After all, just in the last decade or two we've somehow found the time in the day to spend several hours on the internet and the money in the budget not only to pay for broadband service, but to cover a second phone bill and a new monthly bill for television, formerly free. For the majority of Americans, spending more for better food is less a matter of ability than priority." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"Instead, try to exercise abundantly every day and use the mind actively by studying, learning or playing mind taxing games like chess or anything else that makes you think, like creative writing or even surfing the internet. "Once you're in bed, relax in a comfortable position, take several slow, deep belly breaths, and then briefly review all the good, pleasant things that have happened that day. If they didn't happen today, they could have happened the previous day, so review them anyway." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)
