Sad to say, but as a pharmacist, Jon’s exactly right. In pharmacy school, I was taught depression and mental orders were interesting because unlike blood pressure or cholesterol, when it came to mental disorders, we had nothing to measure against. We can’t measure serotonin levels to see if they’re down or not.
It wasn’t until i came across Arthur Firstenberg book on electricity and realized that when electricity began to spread, so this mental diseases. It was also around this time Freud also comes up with his treatment for these “new mental conditions” — and just happens to be funded by Rockefeller as well. So instead of seeing if these conditions like anxiety, also known as neuranisa- firing of the nerves, has anything to do with this new technology called electricity, let’s put a label on it and sell the populace these petrochemicals know as ‘drugs.’
This is why the first chapter in my book is on electricity: unorthodoxy.substack.co…
But again, you’re absolutely right. Here’s another thing, these new weight loss drugs are putting together all kinds of new labels. First diabetes, then weight loss, and now conditions like sleep apnea are on the list.
When we learn how the lesson is played, we can move aside as we need too. Thanks again man and very insight stuff — how do you come up with these?!?!!
