Dear friends,

Hello everyone!

Hope you’re benefiting from the free look at my system. Rest assured, I will share it all. The last three items I discussed all cost money. That can’t be avoided. They’re also the three most effective steps. But now we can get into the “freebie” zone. However, don’t get too relaxed. There will be costs to pay, but not in the form of cash.

I’ve shared www.truehope.com, www.omegabrite.com, and www.centerpointe.com. Employ the tools in these three companies and most of your troubles will evaporate for good.

Now I’d like to discuss the fourth most important step in my system “TORQUE BACK.” This step involves you taking care of the Temple. Your body. This actually breaks down into a few steps but this part of it is the simplest to do, though not the easiest.

You have to come clean. No booze, no beer, no smokes, no weed, no pain pills, no cough syrup, no trippin’, no dippin’, no cigars, no favorite pipe, and I’d think “no street drugs” would be obvious.

This may not even involve you. Maybe in your battle with your bipolar and/or depression, you are already living as clean as can be. Maybe you’re death afraid to add any more crap to the mix. Good for you. Stick with that. But I find many people who are disturbed in any way, tend to self-medicate in one fashion or another. Cripes, I know I did. Everything I could get my hands on.

And let me add, if you believe in nothing I say and plan on sticking with your meds, well, it is even more critical that you folks behave. You’re mixing toxins to create new and wondrous chemically-mutated compounds and pouring them onto an already unstable mind. You’re simply asking for trouble but you have the shuttle pass in your hand. You’ll get there a whole lot faster than the rest of us.

I picked drinking first because it’s one of the most common, legal self-medications but packs the most kick for self-destruction. When my mind felt like this:

And all I really wanted was this:

I would have myself 30 or 40 drinks like this:

And I’d end up getting a free courtesy ride to a place that looked pretty much like this:

Now, not everyone who drinks or is bipolar, ends up in jail. I happened to end up there drunk and crazy an awful lot. Getting hammered and thrown in the can is not such a rare thing in itself, but my situation always involved hellish visions, plots only I could understand, dark forces I had to fight, secret villains only I was aware of, and the desire to want everyone around me to believe in whatever insane mission I was on that night. Or, I might simply have wanted to kill everyone within reach with my bare hands. Those nights always were 50/50 with me.

I took a long way to say, alcohol messes with your mind as it is. Add it to the bipolar mind and you’re just begging for pain and disaster.

That’s just booze. Cigarettes will jack you so far out of shape it isn’t funny. You may think they’re innocuous but c’mon! Anyone over the age of 9 knows those things are stuffed full of all the goodness RJ Reynolds could fit in the stick. They are crammed full of chemicals. Hundreds of them. Many of which are usually found coming out of your car’s exhaust or the smoke stacks of your finer manufacturing plants worldwide.

Please understand. I’m not preaching or so damn proud of myself that I was able to walk away from it all. I’m not proud. Just relieved and grateful for my sanity. It wasn’t easy for me to go straight. There was a list of items I had to say goodbye to. Going clean was one of the hardest projects I’ve ever undertaken in my life and it took years to complete. But you must stay pure to stay sane. Sorry to break it to you if you thought otherwise. The bipolar mind is about a thousand times more sensitive to changes in its environment. Our gray matter is delicate, people. Has to be cared for just so.

Let’s hit on weed a moment. I so loved my pot smoking. I truly did. For a while that is. But towards the end, when it actually caused my first ginormous panic attack, it was getting old. Like when you get drunk but you’re not happy or you have a cigarette but your nerves are still on edge. Weed’s no different. I would get extremely high but be bored and pissed. It loses its luster over the years. You’re just too high to notice you’re not enjoying it for a bit.

I’ve talked to people who swear it makes them feel better, calmer, and helps them with their bipolar. Depending on where in the timeline of lifelong smoking they are, this might be true (for the moment). But even if that were the case, it won’t last. I guarantee you that. Guarantee it!

Nothing I say will dissuade these people. At the same time, they’re coming to me because their life is in a shambles. Their symptoms are still stronger than they’d like. They defend why their pot is not the reason, or a reason. All I can tell you is what my very first psychiatrist told me when I was trying to learn where my new, strange, and painful feelings were coming from:

Psyc: “You smoke a lot of weed?”
Me: “Yeah. About a shitload.”
Psych: “You do it to relieve stress?”
Me: “Yeah, my whole universe is stress.”
Psych: “Well, you’re gonna love this. The weed is causing your symptoms. THC is one of the worst exacerbators of bipolar there is. Want your symptoms and panic to stop? Let go of the weed.”

And he was right. Of course, that was not all that was causing my bipolar symptoms but I found that when I added weed back in, I got spanked hard by the Gods of Panic. So maybe now you know something you didn’t a moment ago. Weed does not belong in the bipolar or depressed person’s day. Even if it feels like a benefit in every possible way, you are only kidding yourself and delaying the huge fall that is coming your way. I say this with compassion.

Take care of your body and your mind will benefit. Take care of your body and feel the satisfaction that is born from a proactive mindset. Feel good about yourself in knowing that you are doing every single thing you can to repair your machine. Take care of your temple and your temple will return the favor. You will be calmer, happier, saner.

See ya guys,

Ken

The Northwest Florida Daily News reported that a Bipolar sufferer’s companion dog disappeared in Destin. Florida Mom

DESTIN - It has been nearly a week since Paris, a black and white mixed breed dog with a curly, happy tail, disappeared from the back yard of her Benning Drive home.

She is more than a pet to her owner, Denver Prophit. She is medically necessary for the 39-year-old who suffers from depression and bipolar disorder. Last summer, Prophit’s doctor wrote a prescription for him to get a companion dog.
When he moved back home after his father was diagnosed with cancer, Paris came with him.

“She keeps me happy, gives me a sense of getting up and taking care of life,” says Prophit. “She’s been a big part of my life. She’s kept me mentally healthy.”

Paris was last seen on March 6. Prophit has searched the neighborhood for her, put up posters and called shelters and veterinarians. Paris has a microchip and all of her shots.

In the meantime, Prophit doesn’t know what to do. He is having trouble functioning.

“Can’t sleep, hard to eat, taking anxiety pills,” he says.

His mom, Helen Circle, is worried about him.

Feb. 7, 2008 - CNW Group reported today that since lithium was first used, over
three decades ago, as a first- line treatment for bipolar disorder, also known
as manic-depressive syndrome, its mode of action has been gradually updated.
Dr. Martin J. Beaulieu, who holds a Canada Research Chair at the Centre de
recherche Université Laval Robert-Giffard (CRULRG) in Quebec City, along with
his colleagues from Dr. Marc G. Caron’s team at Duke University in Durham,
North Carolina, recently published an article in the prestigious scientific
journal Cell describing a cellular mechanism that could finally explain the
mode of action of lithium on behavior - a finding that could lead to new
forms of treatment. These results were further affirmed in another discovery,
on the action of serotonin, which was also announced in a paper published by
Dr. Beaulieu and his colleagues at Duke in the U.S. publication Proceedings of
the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) last January. In the latter paper, the
authors describe the mechanisms of action common to lithium and serotonin, a
neurotransmitter modulated by antidepressant agents.

“Dr. Beaulieu’s achievement is truly a major breakthrough,” pointed out
Dr. Michel Maziade, scientific director at the CRULRG and Head of NeuroCité.
“The new technology developed will result in new ways to treat this illness,
which affects 1% of people in Quebec and Canada. We are also very proud to see
this renowned young Québécois researcher come back from the United States to
advance current research on neurons, the brain and brain diseases.”

“As a member of the CRULRG and NeuroCité teams, Dr. Beaulieu will now
enjoy access to an elite researcher network as well as to a unique group of
partnerships and associations between private entreprise, the academic world
and the scientific community,” continued Dr. Maziade.

The discovery

Following their activation by dopamine D2 dopaminergic receptors initiate
cascades of cellular signaling events leading to physiological neuronal
responses. Among these, D2 receptors induce the formation of a signaling
complex of composed kinases and phosphatases held together by a protein termed
beta-arrestin 2. In a previous study, the scientists have shown that lithium
affects the behavior of genetically modified mice by interfering with D2
receptor signaling functions. The behaviors of these genetically modified mice
is reminiscent of those of individuals treated with amphetamine, a drug used
to model psychotic and maniac behaviors in humans.

Using mice in which the gene encoding beta-arrestin 2 has been
inactivated, the scientists observed that many of the behaviors associated
with D2 receptor activation were dependent upon beta-arrestin 2 “We have then
examined whether the effects of lithium involved the kinase- phosphatase
complex that is held together by beta-arrestin 2,” said Dr. Beaulieu. “We
observed that lithium selectively destabilizes this complex.”

“Although this mechanism may not explain all of lithium’s therapeutic
effects, this discovery can represent an important step toward the development
of new drugs with similar mechanism of action but without many of the
undesirable side effects of lithium.”

In addition to his Canada Research Chair, Dr. Beaulieu has been awarded
grants by the Canada Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and the National
Alliance for Research on Schizophrenia and Depression (NARSAD).

These moments are so strange and beautiful. Perceived time somehow stretching and slowing down, bodily reverberations of space felt in the core of awareness. Something has happened, the world’s appearance has shifted again. Perceived distance, so deep and long. Sound presence felt throughout. Deliberate intent inside muted. Pulsating aliveness in every now. The great fiction transformed. An understanding like no other - pure undefined intuition only. The feeling of knowing something deeply through pure sensation, but lost to thought. There isn’t a point, meaning or conclusion, only awareness being awareness.

Clouds drift, wind blows, trees sway, birds sing, flowers bloom… I tried not to choose and in the process ended up choosing…

Borderline personality disorder is characterized by a pervasive pattern of instability of interpersonal relationships, self-image and affects along with marked impulsivity. Borderline personality disorder is the most common personality disorder and occurs in about 2% of the population.

It usually presents itself by early adulthood and is present in a variety of settings (e.g., not just at work or home). Symptoms usually flare up when a psychological stressor occurs, such as the threat of a break-up in a close relationship. Typically, when the stress subsides the symptoms subside as well.

Borderline personality disorder often overlaps with dysthymia (milder, longer lasting form of depression) and psychotic disorders. Nearly 3/4 of those suffering from the disorder attempt suicide or display self-mutilating behaviors like cutting themselves with razors or burning themselves. Only about 10% of suicide attempts are successful.

Symptoms of borderline personality disorder and risks of suicide are greatest during young adulthood and seem to diminish later in life. Most people with borderline personality disorder, especially those who receive therapy, achieve some stability in their life as they age.

Symptoms

The major symptoms or characteristics of borderline personality disorder are:

Unstable Personal Relationships

People with borderline personality disorder fear abandonment and make desperate attempts to maintain relationships. However, their perception of relationships is so unstable that a friend can become an enemy over an ordinary disagreement.

Unstable Self-Image

This disorder is characterized by marked uncertainty in major life issues, such as life goals, sexual orientation, values, career choices, or types of friends.

Unstable Emotions

Their emotional state can fluctuate dramatically from euphoria to intense anxiety to rage in a matter of hours or days. Typically, these emotional fluctuations are reactions to social interactions.

Lack of Impulse Control

Reckless impulsivity may cause people with this disorder to act in self-destructive ways such as driving dangerously or bingeing on food, alcohol, or sex.

Causes

Borderline personality disorder has as many causes as there are people who suffer from it. The disorder may be caused by a combination of a person’s parental upbringing, their personality and social development, as well as genetic and biological factors.

While the exact cause is not yet known, it is understood that the disorder most often manifests during increased times of stress and interpersonal difficulties in the person’s life. There is a common misconception that people with this disorder are weak or should be able to “snap out of it.”

It’s important to understand that those who suffer from borderline personality disorder are not consciously holding themselves back from correcting their behavior.

Treatment

Individual psychotherapy is the most effective treatment for this personality disorder. Treatment most often focuses on increasing the person’s coping mechanisms and their interpersonal skills. The more severe the disorder, the longer the duration of therapy.

Brief therapy can include a supportive, problem-solving approach, cognitive techniques to challenge distorted thinking, and interpersonal therapy to teach the person how to develop meaningful relationships. Brief therapy usually lasts four to twelve weeks.

Medication may be used to treat other accompanying disorders or specific symptoms the person may have, such as depression, psychotic symptoms, or anxious symptoms.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a condition that becomes apparent in some children in the preschool and early school years. It is hard for these children to control their behavior and/or pay attention. It is estimated that between 3 and 5 percent of children have ADHD, or approximately 2 million children in the United States. This means that in a classroom of 25 to 30 children, it is likely that at least one will have ADHD.

Depression is a serious medical condition that involves the body, mood, and thoughts. People with a depressive illness cannot merely “pull themselves together” and get better. Without treatment, symptoms can last for weeks, months, or years. Appropriate treatment, however, can help most people who have depression.

Depression: Free Report

Anxiety is a normal reaction to stress. It helps one deal with a tense situation in the office, study harder for an exam, keep focused on an important speech. In general, it helps one cope. But when anxiety becomes an excessive, irrational dread of everyday situations, it has become a disabling disorder.
