Western medicine, deploys long-term substance abuse and this is often recommended by your MD ¹

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) drugs, such as Prozac, increase the serotonin neurotransmitter level by preventing the normal mopping-up of certain types of neurotransmitter. From my experience, this method of treating depression is more effective than bungee jumping off the Eiffel Tower, but it has countless issues. However, these chemicals can help when no other knowledge or mechanism for relief of depression is accessible.

This method of treating your brain, is bad-science; it is cash for the pharmaceutical industry. I ask how likely is it that a drug, which blocks the mopping up of a brain chemical, will not have loads of other effects? What I mean is, this is like some kind of superglue that they shovel into your body in the hope that it will only affect one thing; we are talking about your brain here.

It is highly likely that this would also superglue other important life processes; this, at best, would stop such processes from optimal performance.

Were we living in a flawless world, without tyrannical leaders, insane wars, energy prices going through the roof and all manner of other stuff that we won’t mention, then we would not require any kind of serotonin booster.

Having said this, pharmaceutical chemical use is appropriate in numerous instances. It saves lives. It cannot be overlooked as worthless.

1. To be limited to short-term treatments, as you will see in a further chapter.
2. Doubtful for long-term use, as this will almost certainly contribute to further illness.
3. Although tested, are not really designed to actually cure most disease.

Natural remedies and adjustment of lifestyle may be better than long-term pharmaceutical chemical use.
