Something I’d appreciate your comments on: allopathic psychiatry is a cargo cult [0] today, but the doctors in the trenches don’t realize it. Dissidents have spent the last 50+ years calling out allopathic psychiatry as a harm-inducing medical specialty, but progress at implementing known effective approaches to improving mental health has been glacial. What can be done to speed the retirement of obsolete medical interventions from active use?
My friend figured out (in 2018) that she's a poor methylator that can’t turn folic acid into folate. She said adding L-Methylfolate to her routine was like flipping a switch from ‘depressed’ to ‘not-depressed’. The psychiatrists only added this vitamin to the antipsychotic they forcibly injected every month. Folate deficiency is associated with chronic alcoholism…
My new girlfriend doesn’t care for my ‘crazy’ ex-girlfriend. But she ran my Supreme Court filings past some people she knows, and said I did everything right trying to prevent the State of Arizona from subjecting my friend to medical assault. I didn’t get anywhere because I didn’t have a group behind me.
There would be broad interest in revisiting one of my petitions to the U.S. Supreme Court, because of its implications for people who find themselves temporarily disabled in America’s theocratic states. (The justices denied the motion to file that petition under seal, but there’s no strict time limit for filing petitions for writ of mandamus to the US Court of Appeals.)
Nothing I’ve done online has gotten much traction. How do I get more attention for my observations of Arizona’s system of involuntary pseudo-medicine?
