Psychiatry is a branch of medicine based on the science of clinical psychology. The actions of a given pharmaceutical company hardly invalidate the discipline as a whole. Furthermore, a prejudice is never a good thing to have.

I appreciate that. I honestly don't care about winning arguments or looking smart on this point. I just wanted to get out my critique of your post for people to read after yours so they can see another angle. Warm regards.

I downvoted you for the same reason I downvoted the other guy. You are speaking in vague generalities, with authority, on matters about which you are apparently ignorant. Moreover, your propagating this misinformation is detrimental to atti

I am so pleased to find that this is a simple personal testimony about the value of professional treatment and support. I was expecting to find a folksy anecdote or some "hack," and I was pleasantly surprised.

Actually... Do a ctrl-f for, "I've got my oven cranked up to over 800 F," and read from there. He was using a standard oven that he'd modified to cook using the cleaning cycle.

Do you have a source for this? "Just like how Coca-Cola and Pepsi have two-dozen drink products each even though 78% of Coca-Cola's gallon sales come from actual "Coca-Cola"." I'm just curious because I'd be shocked if 78% of Coca-Cola's sa

"He's not a snakeoil salesman." This is an ironic endorsement. One of his enterprises is called 'Brain-Quicken,' and it's the quintessential snake oil operation. I have no respect for people with the ability of Tim Ferris when they also hav

I'm biased, but here are my thoughts in response to your dilemma. Feel free to disregard this opinion, but I enjoy talking about these things. Your target market as I understand it is not strictly the mass market as such. You are aiming for

Furthermore, with the "package" concept, you can take it beyond your locale if and when the economics and logistics are right. I'd send you an unpackage tomorrow if you'd take it.
