Do you suffer from depression or anxiety? Did you know you could be suffering from a nutritional deficiency? 

Here's the article and relevant information to begin your journey to better health.

Nutrients Cure 'Mental Illness' - Orthomolecular Psychiatry

Doctors report that mental health problems including depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, ADHD, anti-social and learning disorders, and obsessive-compulsive disorders often have a common cause: insufficient nutrients in the brain. Nutritionally-oriented physicians assert that the cure for these problems is to give the body the extra nutrients it needs, especially when under abnormal stress.

Orthomolecular medical researchers say the future of psychiatry is in nutrition because nutrition has such a long, safe and effective history of correcting many mental problems. Nutrients such as the B-vitamins are most successful when taken regularly, taken in relatively high doses, and taken in conjunction with vitamin C, the essential fatty acids (EFA's), and the minerals magnesium and selenium. 

A summary of what has worked for many people follows below. The safety of vitamins and minerals is extraordinary, and the expense of trying them is much less than the cost of hazardous pharmaceutical drugs. These nutrients can be purchased in a discount or heath store.

Taking 1,000 mg of vitamin B-3 three times a day often cures mild to moderate depression. Dramatic results are often achieved within one week of beginning this nutritional program, especially in alcoholics. (1)

Sometimes a simple deficiency of vitamin D causes depression. 3,000 I.U./day from all sources can alleviate the problem. (2)

3,000 mg/day or more of niacin (vitamin B-3), along with the same quantity of vitamin C, taken in divided doses throughout the day can successfully treat both schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. (3)

Vitamins B-3, B-6, C and the minerals magnesium and zinc frequently produce a good response in ADHD and autistic children. (4)

Vitamins B-6, folate, and B-12 taken together lower elevated homocysteine levels in the elderly while improving mental function. (5)

As pointed out by chemistry professor and vitamin discoverer Roger J. Williams, PhD (6), each individual has different nutritional needs and responds differently to nutrients. Are you tired of being depressed, suffering from anxiety, paying huge prescription drug bills for unsafe prescriptions that don't solve the problem or produce undesirable side effects? Are you tired of the piece-meal trial and error approach to finding a solution to your mental or emotional problems? If so, adults should consider the following nutritional protocol, which will bathe your brain and nerves in natural nutrients and may well produce dramatic results. The cost of trying the program below is less than the cost of a typical doctor's office visit. It is safe and convenient. All of these nutrients can be purchased at large discount stores.

After the morning meal take: A multivitamin tablet 1,000 mg of vitamin B-3 (as niacinamide or inositol hexanicotinate) One B-complex tablet 100 mg of vitamin B-6 1,200 mcg of vitamin B-9 (folate or folic acid) 1,000-2,000 IU of vitamin D (the lower number if you get sunshine, the higher number if you don't) 1,000 mg of vitamin C 200 mg of magnesium 50 mg of zinc 200 micrograms (mcg) of selenium 30 grams of soy protein powder and one tablespoon of lecithin granules mixed into a small glass of juice or milk A supplement of omega-3 fatty acids [eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexanoic acid (DHA) and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA)] 

After the midday meal:
1,000 mg of vitamin B-3
1,200 mg of vitamin folate
100 mg of vitamin B-6
One B-complex tablet
1,000 mg of vitamin C
200 mg of magnesium

After the evening meal:
A multivitamin tablet
1,000 mg of vitamin B-3
1,000 mg of vitamin C
One B-complex tablet
100 mg of vitamin B-6

All of the above supplements are safe in the recommended amounts, as well as inexpensive and convenient. There is not even one death per year from vitamins. Pharmaceutical drugs, properly prescribed and taken as directed, kill over 100,000 Americans annually. Hospital errors kill still more.

Restoring health must be done nutritionally, not pharmacologically. All cells in all persons are made exclusively from what we drink and eat. Not one cell is made out of drugs.
The most common mistake made by people who take vitamins is they fail to take enough vitamins.

The reason one nutrient can cure so many different illnesses is because a deficiency of one nutrient can cause many different illnesses.

What is Orthomolecular Medicine?
Linus Pauling defined orthomolecular medicine as the treatment of disease by the provision of the optimum molecular environment, especially the optimum concentrations of substances normally present in the human body. Orthomolecular medicine uses safe, effective nutritional therapy to fight illness. For more information:

1932, A True History of the United States

This history lesson pits the British Free Trade, Slave System against the American, Protectionist System. The British System plunders human and natural resources as well as destroys sovereignty of nation states. The prosperity and wealth creation of the American system threatened the British Monarchy's control and rule of the world.

Today the world still suffers at the hands of the British System of war, depression, and terrorism. Financial, economic, personal, professional, and creative human success is not allowed in the oligarchic structure that foments a caste system of the haves and have nots.

The Federal Reserve Banks, Wall Street are apart of this British System to gain the wealth of the people through predatory laws, lending, gambling, worthless currency, foreclosures, economic insecurtiy, and hyperinflation. Reconstitution of protectionism and the economic engine of the United States allowed for the dismantling of privatization that was harming the American people in the past, a new endeavor into this field would produce a world with hope and prosperity.

Can we do it again? Can America release herself from the shackles of the British Empire and become sovereign? Or, will we remain British colonies like the rest of the world under the United Nations' British System of serfdom?

True History of the United States, Free Documentary 

So you think you know the history of the United States? I knew that there was much I didn't know but this film makes it pretty clear that there's much more to the story.

Fascinating, engaging and deeply engrossing film that left me wanting more with a mental note to watch again. I have never claimed to be a student of history but watching this film makes me wish I had more time to be such.

The history of the United States as shown in this film is not what we're taught in school. Other films on the channel such as "The Secret of Oz" and "The Money Masters" hint at how the British Monarchy has tirelessly worked to undermine the great American experiment, but this film brings that whole subject to the fore with a lot more detail.

Happy May Day, All You Protesters

Staff Writer, Nicole Meyer-Greene
Holiday / Protests
__________________________________

Thousands of workers mark May Day

During my childhood, I was taught to leave little baskets of food and gifts on neighbors' doorsteps. As an adult, I find that May Day is more than an innocent holiday but a day of protest across the globe.

Here's a taste of what has been happening the last 24 hours:

Russia revives May Day demonstration tradition on Red Square
Police crack down on May Day protests in Turkey, Cambodia

Councilmember Sawant to march in May Day demonstration

Protesters defy May Day demonstration ban in Istanbul
Today on the Hill: May Day marked by protests to fight attacks on work

Since the decline of America via economics, social engineering, job displacement, and debt was created and implemented by the elite ruling class and the central bankers, one would believe Americans would be out in droves to protest the breaking of unions by politicians and secret trade agreements by governments and corporations.

But, nothing.

Americans still believe that the status quo exists. 

Nothing could be further from the truth. The American dream is dead unless you are extremely wealthy. The engineered demise of the middle class in America for the United Nation's "social justice" platform carried out by local communities and the federal government has been catastrophic for the nation, wouldn't it be logical for Americans to protest?

It appears the propaganda to keep Americans home and off the streets is working. Americans seem to believe protesting is beneath them when it is actually their First Amendment Right. 

Maybe next year, when the dollar deepens the American depression through hyperinflation and the jobless will outnumber the employed, will Americans begin to stand up for themselves.

Or perhaps, Americans will continue to believe the propaganda that the jobless are parasites living off the working instead of blaming the politicians, United Nations, and corporations like they should.

Don't believe me, then read up on the Trans Pacific Partnership. It's NAFTA and Agenda 21 on steroids.

Federal Reserve Century Marked by Booms, Busts, and Fraud

______________________________________

As of December 23rd, 1913, the Federal Reserve was created by an act of Congress. "The House passed the bill 298-60 on the evening of Dec. 22, 1913.3 The Senate began debate the following day at 10am, and passed it 43-25 at 2:30pm.4" Later, "President Wilson signed the Currency Bill into law in an 'enthusiastic' public ceremony on Dec. 23, 1913."

Unfortunately for the American people, the Federal Reserve was created constitutionally. Even though approved by Congress, the Federal Reserve has not been the best policy in regards to our economic and national security.

In the article "On The 100th Anniversary Of The Federal Reserve Here Are 100 Reasons To Shut It Down Forever," the website, The Economic Collapse, outlines how the Federal Reserve has repeatedly failed the United States. 

But as a simple synopsis, the article states:

Since the Federal Reserve was created, there have been 18 recessions or depressions, the value of the U.S. dollar has declined by 98 percent, and the U.S. national debt has gotten more than 5000 times larger.  

The question becomes: why is the United States dependent on this private institution instead of making its own currency? Congress is supposed to: 

Article I Section 8

To coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin, and fix the standard of weights and measures;

Why in the world was the Federal Reserve ever created? In light of the Federal Reserve's terrible track record, why is the United States still tied to this private institution?

Many Americans are asking the same question: why? Capitol Hill is remiss to answer.

The United States faces many challenges. We have wars, terrorism, and a police state. All of which could be eliminated by placing the National Security of the United States above the need for foreign banks and bankers. 

Without an endless supply of fiat money that is no more relevant than children's play money produced on the computer and printed out on their parent's desk, the United States would not be able to: create endless wars, invade sovereign nations to seize their natural resources, maintain black operations sites and prisons (like Gitmo) to create terrorists, or give out billion dollar no-bid military contracts.

Nevermind, we just found out why.

The Economics of a Real Life Monopoly Game

Staff Writer, DL Mullan

Economics / Government

Well the bets are in: it looks like another down turn for the economy after the first of the year according to a Reuters article: 

"There may come a point where the financial markets say none of their debt is credible anymore and they can't finance themselves," Eugene F. Fama, one of the three Americans who won this year's Nobel prize, told Reuters in the snow-covered Swedish capital, where he will receive his prize on Tuesday. "If there is another recession, it is going to be worldwide."

Let me get this straight. The unbacked, fiat currencies the world uses at the behest of global banking syndicates to inflate money, cause devaluation, and create mountains of debt is not credible and unable to finance the world?

Get that Peace Prize out of your ear, a third grader could have told us that. It's called: Monopoly. It's a board game with fake money to pay for cars, land, buildings, and sometimes to get you out of jail. Sound familiar?

It's exactly what has been happening in the world for decades. Some group of disturbed individuals has decided that globalism is the way to go for economics, law, and education. In the 1980's as China was in a recession and Japan was in a deep depression for over a decade, the US seemed impervious to their economic decline.

Thanks to treasonous "Trade Agreements" and "Treaties," the US has seen it's economic powerhouse dissolve into the Wall Street Gambling Casino, To Big To Fail Bank Drug Laundering Establishments, and the Military-Industrial Complex No Bid Contract Schemes.
 

Report: $8.5 trillion unaccounted for by Pentagon; $5.8 billion of supplies lost... and Special Report: The Pentagon's doctored ledgers conceal epic waste from Reuters.
 

In the article, Money Laundering and The Drug Trade: The Role of the Banks. We discover that "HSBC, Western Union, Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase&Co, Citigroup, Wachovia amongst many others have allegedly failed to comply with American anti-money laundering (AML) laws."
  

Viewpoint: How Wall Street Rigs the Game by Time Business and Money stated that:

Also consider where the gambling takes place. In a real casino, it is on a casino floor with cameras all over the place. Even if you don’t like Las Vegas gambling, it is regulated. On Wall Street, by contrast, the gambling can be moved to a darkened room where nothing is recorded, observed or tracked. With opaque unregulated derivatives, there are no cameras. In this smoke-filled room, there is maximum temptation to try to exploit unsophisticated investors and conflicts of interest. And this temptation and lack of transparency are what led to the global financial crisis in 2008.

(Tell the Truth: you thought I was making the news up, didn't you? Sorry, just the facts.)

So the whole wide world with no economic boundaries to stop devastating collapse of monetary systems and nations is unsustainable? Yep, just like sustainability itself. The globe is a giant game of Monopoly to a few elites. With Geitner and other oligarchic cronies pushing other countries to deregulate their banking and housing laws prior to the 2008 collapse, the game was set.

However, unlike the elites, many people could not hedge their bets. People lost their homes, their possessions, and their livelihoods. Everything.

What's worse is that this economic globalist catastrophe was done on purpose. Someone needs to go to jail. Let's rephrase that: Lots of people need to go to jail.

In Monopoly like in this current fascist reality, these criminals keep producing the "Get out of Jail Free" card.

The cure for continued economic duplicity and terrorism: no more adhering to "Trade Agreements" or "Treaties" that do not hold protectionist clauses for America, her workers, or her economic stability. No more gambling of people's money through Wall Street. No more laundering drug money via banks. No more money goes to the Pentagon until someone learns to add and subtract.

It is a very rudimentary formula. Any economist would understand it, even one who has won the Noble Peace Prize. Well so did our President and he kills women and children near daily in other countries via drones. Therefore, little hope can be bestowed on anyone to mitigate the coming economic depression of 2014.

Instead of implementing real solutions, we will praise our American economists for their shiny new toys. Meanwhile back in the states, Americans will have their pensions looted and their homes foreclosed on. It's just another day in AmeriKa.

Don't you wish we could go back to a time before the egomaniacs hell bent on global domination gained control of our nation?
