Lithium 4 Suicide Prevention is not supported

Lithium is a metal , and I’m allergic to metals . This did not discourage the psychiatrist from prescribing it though .

I had to get blood work often because it can adversely affect the kidneys

I couldn’t go in the sun 🌞

When I complained about the adverse side effects the lithium was changed to eskilith a coated lithium .

A new meta-analysis of modern trials of lithium found no evidence that the drug prevents suicide or non-fatal suicidal behaviors. The study included 12 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing lithium to placebo or usual care for mood disorders encompassing 2578 participants. The researchers found that the difference between lithium and placebo for all suicide-related outcomes was not statistically significant.

The study was led by Joanna Moncrieff at University College London, who recently garnered media attention for a review that debunked the low serotonin (“chemical imbalance”) theory of depression.

Reached for comment via email, Moncrieff said:

“The idea that lithium prevents suicide has added to its mystique and helped propagate the idea that lithium is a highly specific and effective treatment. But it never made any sense. Lithium is a highly toxic, sedative substance. It dulls emotions, which might reduce suicidal thoughts, but we know that many psychiatric drugs have this emotion-dulling effect and yet do not reduce suicidal behavior.”

Justice Bartlett : Woman Feed Yourself

Woman, Feed Yourself.

I came across a woman’s post about fasting last night.

She was talking about how ‘the body gets cluttered up when we get overwhelmed and the antenna needs clearing.’ She was planning on doing a fast and cited a couple of traditions (masculine-oriented) as points of reference.

She then invited other people to share in the comments what benefits they have gotten from fasting.

As I read through the comments from other women all of them praising ‘being emptied, clear receivers of truth’ one thought struck me: “They all feel so disembodied.”

I was a little hesitant to leave my reply amongst all the other’s that were glorifying the clarity and purification of fasting, but what the fuck. I did so anyway and this is what I said:

“I don’t fast.

My body still bleeds so it purges regularly about 4 days a month. This is a natural cleansing process for women, especially when engaged with consciously. Rigorous rituals, like fasting and vision quest, were designed for men because they don’t have an obvious initiation (into adulthood) like women do, nor do they have a monthly purgatory cycle. So though I intermittently fast most days, as that is the process that best serves my digestion and metabolism—I will never fast for spiritual purposes.”

I felt a little cringe as I hit enter and went on my way, but the woman (the original poster) replied under my own comment:

“I’m glad you said this. I actually feel like it kind of messed me up a little and I didn’t get my questions answered.”

I responded with: “Im glad it’s beneficial! Red Tent is our way!”

Women’s bodies are not designed for deprivation.

We—women—are designed to host and feed life.

Rituals (such as fasting), that are perfectly compatible with (some) male bodies, do not open us up to spirit in the same way. We are already open. We are living portals for life. Our blood is our ritual and when our menstrual cycle has finished, we become containers for an even deeper wisdom—that of the Crone.

Fasting, especially this time of year as we wind towards darker days, is counter-intuitive and counter-instinctive. Everything in us—instinctively—is saying: Slow down. Rest. Prepare for the lean months, conserve energy.

Now is the time for us to gather in our Harvest. Take count of what we have accomplished this year and gently release what is ready to be shed.

Now is the time for making pies, sipping steaming mugs of tea, and snuggling under nubby blankets. For putting onions, garlic, and potatoes in the ground. For brining the seeds from the summer flower’s blooms.

The Ancient Grandmothers beckon to our bodies over steaming cauldrons of soups and stew. And granny only ever has one thing to say to us.

“Eat.”

New Frequency =Physical Tiredness

Physical Tiredness and New Frequencies

The physical fatigue we are feeling is due to the new intelligent electromagnetic frequencies that are coming in from the Central Sun.

These are radically changing our physical, emotional and spiritual structures. As if we were just a cell phone connected to a battery on a huge ship.

There is a lot of energy coming from the spirit world.

Therefore, there is a need for stabilisation.

What to do ?

Mentally

Vibrate in high resonance, preferably in the highest energy possible, the energy of gratitude, compassion, generosity, benevolence and the mutual sharing of ideas.

Avoid other people’s judgments, as we don’t really know what each one came to go through in this life.

Elevate thinking to noble things, instead of continuing to share futile and terrible news that insist on multiplying through television and social media. Do it differently, find good things in people and situations, they exist but are being forgotten.

Stop complaining and start giving thanks, gratitude is the energy that will shape the new world. When a bad thought comes, understand it and immediately neutralise it with a superior, positive one.

When a problem comes to mind, transmute the information, immediately look for the solution and focus on it. Change focus, find beautiful things in yourself, in your behavior, stop mutilating yourself energetically, because we all have good things and virtues.

Physically

Do calm and focused exercises, sending blue waves at the same time to all places where you supposedly feel pain, discomfort or muscle fatigue, transforming a simple stretching and strengthening exercise into an intensified quantum vibrational exercise.

Drink plenty of mineral water, preferably that which comes straight from the rocks, as it brings pure mineral fragments from the center of the mountain, rocks and crystals.

Avoid processed foods and with exaggerated spices.

Put beautiful, healthy, life-giving things into your body. Sunbathe and say thanks while you do this. Dive into sea water or flowing river water to enter Nature’s new frequency.

Spiritually

Pay attention to your intuition, as this is coming with force and it is the first information that comes from the spiritual world to enter your mind. Listening to good music, one that makes the hairs on your arms stand up, as it is capable of echoing your spirit.

Pay attention to inspirations, as they come pure and simple, otherwise, we cannot write down what is received or do at the exact moment it arrives, we lose contact and the spirit takes a long time to bring it back. Inspiration is something that your own spirit sends you, it is not a third spirit or a helper, it is yourself in future manifestation and divine dimension trying to talk to yourself.

Relationships

You don’t need to yell at anyone anymore, your heart can’t stand any more screams and arguments, it just wants harmony and understanding, the time of suffering is over, whoever still continues in this idea will go through great trials. If you need to take a stand, take a stand and do what needs to be done.

Work

Your spirit is no longer willing to do what makes no sense and does not fulfil your life purpose. It is forcing you to enter full force into your synergy centre, the one that tunes in to the forces that come from the Universe.

If you don’t change or improve your relationship with your work, your life will become more and more empty, even if through it you receive a lot of money, none of this will be able to give any real meaning to your existence from now on.

Don’t worry about finding the new world, it is not a place, but a frequency, a vibrational state that everyone can be in, if they wish.’

Blackberries

Blackberry (Rubus villosus)

“Celtic lore says that blackberries are fairy fruit and may bring bad luck to people who eat them.

Blackberries were also considered protective against earthbound spirits and vampires.

It is said that if planted near the home, a vampire couldn’t enter because he would obsessively count the berries and forget about the people inside”. (1)

“The blackberry in England has a lot of folklore, each pointing to a common piece of wisdom.

Blackberry was the bane of all evils, from misfortune to illness. It was used to release people and animals from illness, misfortune, and witchery.

There are tales that the Devil was thrown out of Heaven and into a blackthorn bush, and such avoids and hates them”. (2)

A Witch’s Whisk is a bundle of blackberry twigs, bound on one end, and lit to be used as a cleansing smoke. The bound end forms a handle. The unbound end sprays out, giving the appearance of a whisk.

“Cecil Williamson, a well-known English witch and the once owner of the Boscastle Witchcraft Museum wrote this about witch’s whisks:

‘Witch’s whisk made of dried out blackberry stems and with the end bound to form a handle.

Here in the south west when a witch decides to make magic she first selects a spot or place where she will work, be the chosen place inside or out.

The next thing to be done is that of cleansing the chosen spot of all evil forces. This is where the bundle of blackberry twigs comes in.

She sets a light to the twigs and with them smouldering, burning and making smoke, she dances and weaves her way in and around and around over and over again. So this is one might call it: ‘a witch’s devil scarer’.” (3)

“Blackberry was considered to be sacred to some of the old Pagan deities of Europe, and was used in worship.

To the present day, blackberry pies are baked on Lughnasadh (August 2) by some of the Wiccans in commemoration of the harvest.

A bramble bush that forms a natural arch is a great aid to magical healing.

On a sunny day, crawl through the arch backward and then forward three times, going as nearly east to west as possible.

This will cause boils, rheumatism, whooping cough, and even blackheads to disappear.

The blackberry leaves were used in spells of wealth, as are the berries themselves, and the vines are protective if grown.

The blackberry plant is also used to heal scalds by dipping nine blackberry leaves in spring water and then laying them against the wound gently, while saying the following chant three times to each leaf (27 times in all):

‘Three ladies came from the east,

One with fire and two with frost.

Out with fire, in with frost.’

This is an old invocation to Brigit, the ancient Celtic Goddess of poetry, healing, and smithcraft.

Folk Names: Bly, Bramble, Bramble-Kite, Bumble-Kite, Cloudberry, Dewberry, Goutberry, High Blackberry, Thimbleberry

Deity: Brigit

Powers: Healing, Money, Protection” (4)

Crying

The advice from Dr Spock was to let baby cry up to 15 minutes . I tried this not knowing these horrific results .

There have been many advisors promoting detached parenting which is NOT what babies or children need not deserve .

Single Married Mama who had to be in the glow with a partner who had no idea or interest in parenting . Comfortable with brotherhood or uncle status that did not teach our sons well .

I regret not stopping everything to hold my baby , co sleep and had better intuitive skills that would have not allowed our sons to be alone with certain energies who masked many secrets

Crying it out: the foundation for NPD and BPD

(Borderline Personality Disorder

and Narcissistic Personality Disorder)

“One of the ways children have to adjust to a new order is called ‘letting them cry themselves out’.

The Mother puts the child into the crib at night to sleep. It is bedtime. But the sense of aloneness and the loss of contact with the mothers body terrifies the child, who begins to scream and cry.

No animal mother would fail to respond to a baby’s cry. Some human mothers believe, however that to respond would be wrong.

To give in to a child’s crying will spoil the child.

Besides, they have been told, crying is good for a child…

The first time this happens the child might cry for hours before falling asleep.

The mother might think the child has learned a lesson, but, the child doesn’t have the energy for a repeat performance…

After several experiences of this kind, the child learns to give up the struggle for contact with the mother. In effect, the child has cut off the longing for his contact and so no longer feels the pain of frustration.

A new reality in which the desire for intimacy and closeness is not expressed, has been accepted.

The foundations for narcissism and the borderline personality have been laid.”

Systematic Failure of Psychiatry

Systematic Failure

By Larry Marquardt

There is really nothing unique in my story. I write to expose systematic institutional failures to address my situation and that of millions of others with any measures other than psychotropic medication. I write in concert with and in support of those advocating for a fundamental rethinking of biological psychiatry.
