New Method For Dealing Effectively With Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

August 10, 2012     No comments

(PRWEB) February 15, 2005

OCD is the name given to the condition that causes conscious or sub-conscious thought processes to control your actions compulsively. These actions are said to be obsessive because they usually involve a normal action that is repeated over and over again forming what is described as a ritual.

These compulsions commonly include rituals such as compulsive hand washing, counting, checking, (that you have not left the gas on, for example), cleaning and other exaggerations of normal activities. These compulsive rituals can seriously and quite destructively interfere with normal life and can sometimes be accompanied with other anxiety disorders such as agoraphobia and panic disorder.

The usual treatment for this condition is therapy based. When the patient understands that their actions are irrational, they can use the therapy exercises to retrain themselves to react more appropriately and eventually to re-learn normal behavior.

The success of therapy based treatment is dependent on the psychologists ability and your willingness to practice the therapeutic exercises that you are prescribed.

Using the diversion tactics in The Linden Method program, it is possible to eliminate these compulsions from your life. The secret of ridding yourself of OCD is to learn to divert your mind away from inappropriate rituals in order to replace them with more appropriate ?normal? habits.

The Linden method does this quickly and permanently without the need for expensive therapy, drugs or disturbing psychological exercises.

The Linden Method can also help to get rid of panic attacks and anxiety.

Caffeine Allergy Masquerades as ADHD, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia and Other Disorders — Information a Century Overdue

August 04, 2012     No comments

(PRWEB) September 26, 2005

Albert Einstein stated that the only way to learn something is through experience. Ruth Whalen, a Massachusetts resident, survived a 24-year course of medical misdiagnoses and proves Einstein’s assertion in her new book.

In 1975, an emergency room physician erroneously diagnosed and treated Ruth’s allergic reaction to caffeine. The doctor induced acute psychosis causing Ruth to experience loss of focus, intellectual deterioration, delusions, loss of judgment and other symptoms of poisoning. Unaware of her allergy to caffeine, Ruth continued ingesting caffeine. Due to chronic allergic response to caffeine, her physical state including her brain function progressively deteriorated. In 1999, a doctor diagnosed Ruth with an allergy to caffeine. Ruth recovered and researched.

According to Whalen’s experience, research, and articles published in the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine, Positive Health, Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients, and Medical Veritas, allergic response to caffeine causes ADHD, anxiety, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, OCD, TMJD, PMS, and other conditions. Whalen’s recently released book “Welcome to the Dance: Caffeine Allergy-A Masked Cerebral Allergy and Progressive Toxic Dementia” (Trafford; 1-4120-5000-6; 418 pages, paperback) with the foreword written by Abram Hoffer, M.D., Ph.D., President of the International Schizophrenia Foundation expands on the research.

Containing 123 chapters, a reference section and index, “Welcome to the Dance: Caffeine Allergy-A Masked Cerebral Allergy and Progressive Toxic Dementia” details allergic response to caffeine, a hidden condition that most doctors do not know about causing severe physical and mental abnormalities. The text explains the physical and mental symptoms, biochemical changes, and abnormal lab test results caused by caffeine allergy, which affect numerous persons diagnosed with a mental disorder, and the book narrates Ruth’s 25-year harrowed experience under the care of doctors.

Georgia Janisch, a registered dietitian and twin, wrote a chapter detailing her abnormal symptoms, diagnosed by doctors as psychosomatic illness. Like Whalen, Janisch recovered from her abnormal physical state. Recently, Miss Janisch’s twin– erroneously institutionalized for 40 years, diagnosed with and treated for schizophrenia–was discharged from the mental hospital and is recovering from poisoning, a clear indication that mental illness is not genetic. Where are the lawyers?

To schedule interviews, book signings, or speaking engagements and for general comments contact Ruth Whalen.

Certified via the American Society of Clinical Pathology (ASCP) as a medical laboratory technician, Miss Whalen has 14 years experience in the medical field and also holds a BA. Ruth was not paid by any person or organization to undertake the research.

Hopkins, MN (PRWEB) October 16, 2005

According to the National Institutes of Mental Health, 3.3 million Americans are known to suffer from OCD.

Some questions covered are:

What is OCD? How is it related to nail biting? Obesity? Smoking? Can hypnosis really have an effect? How can NLP help? Is OCD related to Tourette’s Syndrome?

The seminar is being held at the Kensington Palace Hotel, Devere Gardens, Kensington, LONDON Saturday, October 29th at 2:15 p.m.
