Nutrition and Recovering Your Brain Hi! I’m writing this information to let you know how I developed manic-depression (aka bi-polar personality disorder) and what I have learned about managing it. There are no perfect solutions yet, but the information here can lead to alternatives to the drugs available today. This information also applies to panic/anxiety attacks, post traumatic stres

Hey Cosmo, I love your information about Tony Robbins. It really got me thinking. I have only read his book, ''Unlimited Power''. Tony Robbins learned the basics of firewalking when he attended a firewalk led by Tolly Burkan. Tolly and his ex-wife Peggy Dylan basically started the firewalking movement in the United States, back in the 1980’s. Tolly did a firewalk on th

Hey C.O., So my post did go through! Yes, the Olympics will be great fun. As for firewalking, some people do manage to get burned. I got a couple of hot spots from the first one I did. It's not magic that most people don't, but I tended to some people's nasty blistered feet at a firewalking intensive once. The whole bottoms of their feet were covered with blisters. Very na

Dear SLS, Stay friendly with your son. Stay in contact. Be calm and positive. Besides the information Rick has here you can read 'Releasing The Bonds' by Steven Hassan for advice on staying in contact and what you can do to prepare for an intervention. Get information before you do anything. You will have more chance of success. Sylvia

Oh C. Oz . . . Of course it will be the USA. Unless some nasty terrorists blow our people up . . . Then you guys will have a chance! Yes, that Tony, he always does things in a big way, even here. I'm glad Cosmo is telling the story though. Maybe I'll pop over to that thread for a few minutes . . . and talk a bit about firewalking! Sylvia

Hey C. Oz, Thanks for inviting me to your poker game! I just love Australians . . . Would you like some Thiamine on the rocks? It'll improve your game. I'm still working on my Vitamin and Mineral post. They are so good for your brain . . . As always, I hope this goes through! See ya later. Sylvia

Okay! I think I have posting down. Thanks Cosmo and Alexis for your encouraging responses. What really bothered and scared me was that I even considered doing the Forum. Even though I said no in the end, it was a wake up call that something was wrong with my thinking. What I needed at that point, when I was considering it, was some inspiration. So, I got some in a roundabout way. Nothing

Hey Corboy, Interesting stuff. When I first found the Operation Clambake sight several years ago I laughed my butt off. Such crap. But that was before Lisa McPherson died at their hands. They are such a dangerous gang and obviously are unaware of it. I met a young (early thirties)woman DOCTOR last year who is in Scientology. She said she had been diagnosed bi-polar but she fell for Scie

Hi people! I have been reading the past posts here for the last few weeks. I found you after an old friend of mine ‘invited’ me to a forum introduction meeting in June. After I said no I did a search on ‘anti Landmark’. There is so much information here, it’s incredible. I had no idea how far the descendants of est had gone, or how many there are. Whew! I have been saying no to est and
