Alzheimer’s, Dementia and Mother Nature

June 3, 2018/2 Comments/in Conditions /by Dr. Todd Stone

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by cognitive decline…

…behavioral and psychological symptoms, and impaired activities of daily living. Patients with Alzheimer’s disease are faced with the inevitable decline from mild to moderate and, eventually, to severe stages of the disease and death.

“I had early onset cognitive impairment after losing my income for helping a woman with a medical condition and not being able to sleep. This is how I healed my brain and memory!
-Dr. Stone

The American Medical Association observes that, once diagnosed with Dementia, the average life span is 5-10 years, but some barely make 2 years, and others live up to 20 more years. No matter how long, every year is progressively worse.

Mild Cognitive Impairment is characterized by walking downstairs and forgetting why you made the trek.

In the mild Alzheimer’s stages, you “can’t find the word” and “lose track of time.” Moderate Alzheimer’s stages begins when you ask the same questions over and over and forget that you are frying an egg! That seems to worry everyone.

Severe Alzheimer’s stages begins when you lose the ability to repeat 3 words back after I say them, which means you don’t don’t even retain the last few seconds or minutes of your life. Before you die, you forget your own people and language. Every visit, we meet for the first time, again, and you can’t recall the word “chair” as you point me to have a seat. –Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease 2016

And then you die. If you are lucky, it could take 20 years. If you are unlucky, this progression can take as little as a couple years.

LUCK depends on your perspective, of course. Some might say passing is a blessing if you can’t recall the last few seconds of your life!

That is your prognosis, your future, if you rely solely on Conventional Medicine. Lucky or not.

I thought that sounded horrifying, so I scoured the globe for anything that might offer hope for improvement or remission of a progressive disease. I found scientific evidence that Dementia can be reversed and prevented!!

You can prevent Alzheimers!

Gotu Kola

Aluminum is fed to lab animals to cause Alzheimer’s disease so researchers can test medicines without risking harm to humans. This study observed the effect of feeding half the animals a plant called Gotu Kola with the aluminum. Gotu Kola significantly reduced the characteristic brain damage compared to the animals not receiving Gotu Kola, even with acute poisoning. –(1)

True Heavy Metal Detox is our medicine for gently eliminating heavy metals such as Aluminum and Mercury. At my weight, seven doses of Mylanta per day would cause Alzheimer’s in 30 days, based on the mg/bodyweight dosing they use to cause Alzheimer’s disease in Lab animals. –(2)

The “safe” intake of aluminum is listed as 10 mg per day for a 170 pound adult.

Aluminum compounds may be added during processing of foods, such as:

flour
baking powder
coloring agents
anticaking agents

“An average adult in the United States eats about 7–9 mg of aluminum per day in their food.” –CDC

The amount used to cause Alzheimers in 30 days would be 3,800 mg per day for a 170 pound animal. Antacids may have up to 900 mg per dose. Aspirin is buffered with 10-20 mg of aluminum per pill. Aluminum pans serve fish patties with 75 mg of aluminum per patty. Acidic liquids cooked in aluminum pans can absorb as much as 300 mg per cup (some were very low, which I imagine is the difference between cheap and high quality, aka expensive). –(3)

Our government claims “we aren’t sure if aluminum causes Alzheimer’s” while our scientists use aluminum to induce Alzheimers in lab animals. I take a dose of True Heavy Metal Detox every day because it binds and eliminates environmental toxins that hurt, even the heaviest and hardest. I find formaldehyde to be a greater danger (Read about Formaldehyde HERE), and more of the reason I detox daily, because it cleans and clears everything!

I’m not big into politics. Does our government do a lot of lying?!?

Step 1: True Heavy Metal Detox – Clean the Brain

Step 2: Heal the Brain

“Curcumin is one of the most promising and exciting compounds for development of Alzheimer’s Disease therapeutics.“

In India the incidence of Alzheimer’s is one tenth the incidence in the USA, thought to be because of their high consumption of Turmeric. Turmeric also has a beneficial effect on diabetes, which drastically increases your risk of developing dementia.

Alzheimer’s is characterized by inflammatory and oxidative damage to brain cells, causing “tangles” and protein clumping called Beta Amyloid Plaques. Lewy Body dementia is named for another version of protein clumping. Diabetes greatly accelerates the clumping and tangles, while Curcumin reduces clumping and tangles and lowers elevated blood sugar. –Neural Regeneration Research 2018

In China, doctors use curcumin to diagnose the severity of AD. Curcumin can be labeled with radioactive nuclides so it glows vividly on brain scan. It has a significant attraction to plaques and tangles, almost like it knows what needs healing, making it the perfect “dye” to scan for early Alzheimer’s stages and to monitor progression and severity.

Human Studies: Curcumin improved cognitive function and reduced fatigue and psychological stress in a healthy older population, but didn’t fare much better than a placebo with diagnosed Alzheimer’s.

We’re not looking for a miracle pill or potion, though, We’re looking for what Alzheimer’s needs to heal. Always start with a healthy diet. This diet is proven to reduce the incidence of Alzheimer’s.

Dr. Axe does a swell job of describing the dietary and lifestyle factors that reduce the incidence of Alzheimer’s Disease. I find it boring to have someone tell me that we have to move our bodies, challenge our minds, and eat whole foods. I also know how challenging it was to find the truth about what we need to eat, so I’m happy that Dr. Axe makes it easy to find!

If you already Have Alzheimer’s or Cognitive Impairment, we need a good bit more Help and HOPE than Prevention can provide! I found 4 resources that have improved Alzheimer’s in human models.

MCTs in Coconut Oil

Coconut Oil contains Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs). If you aren’t familiar, PaleoLeap.com can get you up to speed!

Researchers at Louisiana State University (LSU) gave MCTs to early stage Alzheimer’s patients and memory performance increased over 24 weeks. There were only 2 people in the MCT group, and 2 in the placebo group, but MCT’s improved a progressive disease, twice! With NO SIDE EFFECTS! –(4)

If anyone I loved and cared for had early signs of AD, I’d have them on True Heavy Metal Detox, Gotu Kola, Curcumin and MCTs in a heartbeat, but I wouldn’t stop there.

Fish Oils

I’d drastically increase anyone-with-dementia’s dose of Fish Oils.

Have you gotten the scoop on Omega 3 and 6 fats?

Dr. Chris Kresser teaches the basics in more detail, but the simple message is clear! Get your ratio as close to 1:1 as POSSIBLE, and you will prevent / improve nearly every disease! –(5)

If your Omega 3 to 6 ratio is low, like 1/20…the incidence of tangles and clumping increases. If you get closer to 1/1, your brain size (volume) increases, and your memory clearly works better! –(6), (7).

Human Studies: Eighteen people with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) were given fish oil daily for 12 months, and compared to 18 patients receiving a placebo. “The fish oil group showed significant improvement in short-term and working memory, immediate verbal memory and delayed recall capability.” –(8).

Acupressure or Acupuncture.

Ten randomized controlled trials with a total of 585 participants evaluated the effectiveness of Acupuncture on Alzheimer’s disease. Results of 6 trials showed that acupuncture was better than drugs at improving scores on the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) scale. Evidence from the results of 3 trials showed that acupuncture plus Aricept was more effective than Aricept alone at improving the MMSE scale score. –(9).

I’ll share which points they used at the end. They used acupuncture, but I’ve done quite well healing folks with acupressure, and I’ll show you how easy it is…at the end.

True Neuro-Regeneration

Alzheimers progresses from not being able to recall the last few minutes, to the last few seconds, and then you can’t recall what a bird or chair is called. In 2014, Alzheimer’s patients received Bacopa, Wild Yam and Sea Buckthorne. Instead of progressing toward death, their word recall improved by 30%. Their functional ability improved by 21%. –(10).

“Alzheimer’s disease regressed.” Lol. I wouldn’t say it that way. I’d say health, healing, and function improved or progressed by 30%. Just words though.

I’d definitely include these plants!

Plant Medicines that reverse Alzheimer’s Disease.

There is actually some pretty exciting research out there, but it may be 5o years before it gets to human testing. These are studies on Animal Models of Alzheimer’s.

Are you willing to wait 50 years to see if something harmless is good enough for science to approve it as treatment for Alzheimer’s Disease or Lewy Body Dementia?

I didn’t have 50 years to wait, so I went forward with the best medicine that science has to offer. There are no harmful side effects, so my worst case is wasting some money on medicine while I normally deteriorate per the medical model. (Two years later, I am happy and healthy!!)

Aluminum is fed to rats or mice to reproduce the signs and symptoms of Alzheimer’s so that researchers can evaluate the effects of different medicines. So far, no pharmaceutical has reversed clumping and tangles or improved memory. So far, no plant medicine has had a side effect bad enough to not give them a try, and these plants reversed AD!

In animal models, a 30-d course of Ashwaghanda reversed behavioral deficits, plaque pathology, accumulation of β-amyloid peptides (decreased tangles and clumps!) AND increased acetylcholine by 40%. Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter associated with learning and memory. –(11).

“In this study, we found that oral administration of Reishi Mushroom promoted rapid nerve cell reproduction and alleviated cognitive deficits in animal models of Alzheimer’s Disease. Our findings suggest that Reishi could serve as a regenerative therapeutic agent for the treatment of cognitive decline associated with neurodegenerative diseases.” –(12).

There were no side effects…no danger in trying it.

“Ginseng significantly decreased memory impairment in animal models of Alzheimer’s disease in 30 days. Ginseng repairs the damage of the hippocampus, decreases clumping and tangles, and improves neurotransmitter levels.” –(13).

“Environmental enrichment (EE) has been shown to enhance cognitive function in mouse models of Alzheimer‘s disease. The addition of Magnesium improved cognition and spatial memory more effectively than either treatment alone.” –(14).

“According to tests, Methyl-cobalamin (Vit B12) improved intellectual functions, such as memory, emotional functions, and communication with other people. Improvements in cognitive functions were relatively constant when the vitamin B12 levels in the cerebrospinal fluid were high. There were no side effects attributable to methyl-cobalamin.” –(15).

The plants and nutrients that protect and heal the brain, even with an Alzheimer’s diagnosis, are the ingredients of True Neuro-Regeneration.

If anyone I loved and cared for had early signs of AD, I’d have them on True Heavy Metal Detox, True Neuro-Regeneration, high dose fish oils and Coconut Oil in a heartbeat!

True Neuro-Regeneration gives you this much hope… 100 people got better instead of worse.

Add the 2 people that got better instead of worse using MCTs, and the 18 that got better instead of worse using Fish Oils, and the hundreds of animal models that got better instead of worse using Ashwaghanda, Reishi, Ginseng, Magnesium, and B12.

Plus Gotu Kola and Curcumin, which seem to love and protect the brain.

I put Mother Nature’s Healing together for you in our Cognitive Impairment Kit. I hope you appreciate the relief and restoration of life for your loved ones.

True Neuro-Regeneration, Heavy Metal Detox, and Ultra-pure Fish Oils. Plus use coconut oil and enrich your (or your patients) environment.. Use the acupressure video below, or find a good acupuncturist.

There have been studies conducted on humans to prove
our Cognitive Impairment Kit will help
Alzheimer’s or dementia in humans.
And there is nothing in it that will harm a human.

What Causes Food Allergies or Sensitivities?!

May 29, 2018/0 Comments/in Conditions /by Dr. Todd Stone

When Your Body Reacts to Almost Everything

Shirley’s story of food reactions, exhaustion, hair loss, and finally finding the pattern underneath

This was one of the most severe food sensitivity cases I have ever worked with.

When Shirley first came to me, she could eat only a handful of foods.

Meat.

Eggs.

Cucumber.

Squash.

Green beans.

That was about it.

Anything else could set off a reaction.

If she ate the wrong food, she would feel a painful tightness around her neck. Her hair would come out in clumps. She would get adrenaline rushes in her stomach. And sometimes she would not sleep for four days.

Almonds could nearly trigger a panic attack.

She rated her craving for carbohydrates as a 10 out of 10, but the pain from “junk food” was worse than fighting the craving.

That is not normal food sensitivity.

That is a body living in survival mode.

Her Body Was Exhausted

On her intake forms, Shirley described how bad her average day had become.

Back and neck pain: 7 out of 10.

Depression: 10 out of 10.

Anxiety: 9 out of 10.

Energy: 1 out of 10.

Sleep quality: 2 out of 10.

And when asked how much her health disrupted her ability to work, serve her loved ones, connect with people, have fun, and be happy, she answered:

10 out of 10.

Her periods were unbearable. She could not get out of bed.

The symptom she listed as her top priority was irritability.

But as I listened to her story, it sounded like more than irritability.

It sounded like anger.

And honestly, she had good reason to feel angry.

For ten years, every doctor she asked for help told her some version of:

“Everything checks out fine. Just keep watching your food allergies.”

But Shirley was not fine.

She was losing hair.

She was barely sleeping.

She was anxious, exhausted, inflamed, reactive, and down to fewer than ten foods.

That is not fine.

That is a body waving a giant red flag.

The Question Nobody Asked

Shirley had done her own research and wondered if Candida could be part of the problem.

This made sense to her because, in her twenties, she had been treated with antibiotics for a sinus infection for a full year straight.

Later, in her thirties, her hair began falling out.

Eventually, she connected the hair loss with her food reactions.

By the time she reached her forties, she could hardly eat anything Mother Earth provides for nourishment.

But when she asked about Candida, she felt dismissed.

That is one of the most painful parts of chronic illness.

It is not just the symptoms.

It is being told you are fine when you know you are not.

It is asking for help and feeling like nobody is really listening.

Looking for the Pattern, Not Just the Diagnosis

At True Health, we looked at the case differently.

Instead of asking only, “Does she have this disease or that disease?” we asked:

What is stressing her body?

What systems are weak?

What is keeping her stuck in reaction mode?

Why does her body see so many foods as a threat?

That is the deeper question.

Because when someone reacts to almost everything, the problem is rarely just the food.

Food may be the trigger.

But the deeper issue is often the terrain.

The gut.

The immune system.

The stress response.

The detoxification pathways.

The adrenal system.

The inflammatory load.

The body’s ability to repair.

When those systems are overwhelmed, the body can start reacting to things it should normally tolerate.

What We Found

Her testing showed patterns consistent with parasites and Candida.

That mattered.

Because yeast and parasites can irritate the intestines, disrupt digestion, inflame the gut lining, and contribute to immune hypersensitivity.

Once the intestinal barrier becomes irritated and weakened, food reactions can multiply.

The body starts reacting not because every food is truly “bad,” but because the system receiving the food is inflamed, depleted, and on high alert.

That was Shirley’s pattern.

Her body was not simply allergic to life.

Her body was exhausted from fighting.

The Gut, the Adrenals, and the Immune System

This is where many people get stuck.

They try to solve food sensitivity by avoiding more and more foods.

And sometimes avoidance is necessary for a season.

But if the gut is inflamed, the immune system is reactive, and the adrenal system is depleted, the body does not become stronger just by avoiding everything.

It needs support.

It needs the right stressors addressed.

It needs repair.

It needs nourishment.

It needs to be guided out of survival mode.

That is what we began doing with Shirley.

The Healing Plan

We started with the pattern we found.

For the parasite pattern, we used Morinda, also known as noni.

Noni had a popular moment years ago as a juice that people claimed could “cure everything.” I do not think of it that way.

No plant cures everything.

But when the plant matches the pattern, it can feel dramatic.

For Shirley, Morinda was part of that match.

Then we supported her adrenal exhaustion with Cordyceps, a powerful medicinal mushroom used to build resilience, stamina, and recovery.

We supported the gut lining with immunoglobulins to help calm and repair the intestinal barrier.

We used lemon balm to help calm her reactions.

Later, we used ginseng for deeper strength and resilience.

This was not a random supplement plan.

It was a step-by-step strategy based on what her body showed us.

The First Signs of Hope

At first, Shirley’s progress was bumpy.

That is common in severe cases.

When someone has lived with extreme sensitivity for years, healing is not always a straight line.

But then the trend started to change.

First, she reported better energy.

Then she started sleeping better.

Then the adrenaline rushes in her gut began to calm.

Then the tight “collar” sensation around her neck went away.

And after a few months of supporting the parasite pattern, yeast pattern, adrenal system, and gut barrier, her hair stopped falling out.

That was a healing trend.

Not perfection overnight.

But a real trend.

Her body was finally responding.

Stretching the Limits

As Shirley felt better, she naturally wanted to test her limits.

And honestly, she needed to.

When someone has been trapped in food fear for years, part of recovery is learning where the new boundaries are.

Sometimes she would try foods and pay a price.

But the price was changing.

That is one of the ways you know healing is happening.

The reaction may not disappear instantly, but the body recovers faster.

The flare is less intense.

The system becomes more resilient.

The danger zone gets smaller.

The normal life zone gets bigger.

Eventually, her periods improved too.

They were not perfect, but they no longer put her in bed.

That was another healing trend.

The Beer Test

A few months later, Shirley decided she was tough enough to go out for a few beers.

That cost her a few nights of sleep.

So the answer was:

Not quite yet.

But I loved what happened next.

She brought a beer with her to the next visit and asked if we could “calm that reaction too.”

That is actually a beautiful sign.

Not because beer is a health food.

But because she was no longer living only in fear.

She was testing life again.

She wanted to participate.

She wanted to be normal.

She wanted to see what her body could handle.

And that matters.

Healing is not just about lab numbers.

Healing is being able to live more of your life.

The Real Result

Shirley remained more sensitive than the average person.

That is true.

When she pushed too far, her reactions were still stronger than most people’s.

But she was no longer the same woman who came in barely hanging on.

Her energy improved.

Her sleep improved.

Her gut reactions calmed.

The tightness around her neck went away.

Her hair stopped falling out.

Her periods improved.

Her food reactions became more manageable.

And eventually, the foods that bothered her most were more like the foods that bother many people when they overdo it — indulgences, alcohol, junk food, and stress foods.

That is a very different life than reacting to almost everything.

The Deeper Lesson

The lesson from Shirley’s story is not that every case of food sensitivity is parasites.

It is not that every case is Candida.

It is not that everyone needs Morinda, Cordyceps, immunoglobulins, lemon balm, or ginseng.

The lesson is this:

When your body reacts to everything, you have to stop chasing every trigger and start looking for the pattern underneath.

Food reactions are often not just about food.

Fatigue is often not just about sleep.

Hair loss is often not just about hair.

Anxiety is often not just about your thoughts.

Inflammation is often not just about one inflammatory food.

The body is a system.

And when enough stress accumulates, symptoms can show up everywhere.

Gut.

Skin.

Hair.

Hormones.

Sleep.

Mood.

Energy.

Pain.

Cravings.

Immune reactions.

That is why guessing rarely works.

And that is why a more complete pattern-based approach can change everything.

This Is Why I Created BR90

Shirley was one of my last insurance patients.

And honestly, leaving insurance changed my life.

It allowed me to stop practicing inside a system that often rewards short visits, limited testing, and symptom management.

It allowed me to create something more complete.

That is why I created BR90.

BR90 is for people who know something is wrong, even if they have been told everything looks fine.

It is for people who are tired of chasing symptoms.

Tired of guessing.

Tired of trying random supplements.

Tired of being told to “just avoid the foods.”

Tired of living smaller because their body has become too reactive, too inflamed, too exhausted, or too unpredictable.

In BR90, we look for the deeper pattern.

Stress physiology.

Lab patterns.

Gut patterns.

Immune patterns.

Hormone patterns.

Recovery blocks.

Nutrient weaknesses.

The hidden reasons your body may be stuck in survival mode.

Then we coach you through a step-by-step process to help your body repair, rebuild, and respond differently.

If You Feel Like Your Body Is Reacting to Life

Maybe your story is not as extreme as Shirley’s.

Maybe you can eat more than five foods.

Maybe your hair is not falling out in clumps.

Maybe you are still functioning.

But you know your body is not right.

You are tired.

Inflamed.

Reactive.

Wired but exhausted.

Sensitive to foods.

Sensitive to stress.

Sensitive to hormones.

Sensitive to life.

And deep down, you know you do not need another quick fix.

You need someone to help you find the pattern.

That is what BR90 is designed to do.

If Shirley’s story sounds familiar, I invite you to apply for BR90.

Tell us what your body has been reacting to.

Tell us what you have tried.

Tell us where you feel stuck.

You may not need to avoid life forever.

You may need to rebuild the system that helps you tolerate it.

Shirley-

“I share my story for hope, and the strength to fight for healing. This was a long, hard struggle, and only Dr. Stone had the resources to figure out what was at the root of my suffering. Thanks, Dr. Stone!”

Ok, I promised the worst case. This little girl was down to 2 or 3 foods. I couldn’t make it up, because I would never have imagined!

Medical Care for The Intensely Sensitive

May 21, 2018/0 Comments/in Conditions /by Dr. Todd Stone

Borderline Personality Disorder is the Medical diagnosis for “highly sensitive people.”

I hate the labeling our culture does, but we have to call it something so we can communicate. How ’bout we take the highly sensitive people label and borderline personality disorder label, and re-label this observation as a Gift of God.

Then lets consider the varying approaches to caring for whatever this human is.

First, lets look at the tender loving Medical care for our most sensitive people. They try to talk some sense into them with psychotherapy, (J/K, I like my therapist) and send them home with a prescription.

Selective Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitors: SSRI’s or antidepressants are usually well-tolerated; chance of a lethal overdose is minimal. However, “SSRIs are only marginally effective for depression and anxiety in patients with borderline personality disorder.”
Mood Stabilizer: Iamotrigine slows down hyperactivity of brain tissue. One tiny side effect, it inhibits MTHFR gene function, which destroys developing babies, and slowly deteriorates your health.
Benzodiazipines: Ativan and Valium are highly addictive, and they really do nothing more than alcohol. You just skip the singing and “I love you man” phase, and go right to pass out. CNN says, “The potential danger of benzodiazepines is no secret: They were involved in about 30% of prescription drug overdose deaths in 2013,“
Second Generation Antipsychotics: Abilify blocks the production of dopamine in your brain. When dopamine is released you feel love and gratitude. But when your Love is challenged or threatened, Dopamine amplifies the protection part of Love which looks like a Momma Bear!

They could stop challenging or threatening Love, a Gift of God, but instead they prescribe Abilify. It knocks out a Momma Bear, so they can take what they want without Momma getting out of control.

This isn’t sounding right to me! That’s not how I would care for our most sensitive, at all!!!

Send your “psychotics” or “borderliners” to True Health. Here is my approach:

Step 1: I’d hold them until they feel safe. That doesn’t mean nursing them, silly, it means making safe space. I invite people more often if it’s too intense out there. Eventually, you will be able to stay at the Farm for as long as you need.

Step 2: I’d apologize for how hurtful this world feels and share my experience of being highly sensitive in a hard world, at least the most hilarious parts, until they feel comfort and ease.

Step 3: I’d teach the virtue of sensitivity and how our world needs us to be strong. Then I would explain how God so thoroughly disrupted my life, to put this mission in my hands.

Step 4: I give them the healing and strength of my hands which are extensions of a soft heart, and send them home with Bupleurum Formula. That is my best version of Yi-Gan-San, which came to be over 500 years ago, in the soft tradition of natural medicine in China, for the treatment of sensitive, agitated children. And double blind tested to significantly relieve the symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder, Treatment Resistant Schizophrenia, and Bipolar Disorder.

It was their best care for their most sensitive children, and it’s been passed along for its effectiveness for 500 years. In 2008, they scientifically validated Yi-Gan-San with a double blind study, the highest form of scientific validation, according to Medicine.

After 12 weeks, the doctors concluded that there was a “highly significant improvement in anxiety, tension, depressive mood, hostility, suspiciousness, motor retardation, uncooperativeness, and manic episodes.”

Lol. I love medical terminology, not for it’s value, but for its humor. They call a genetic vulnerability a MTHFR, and “not showing the will / movement to live or thrive,” = motor retardation.

Borderline personality disorder

True Health’s 4 steps vs the American Medical Association’s 4 steps!?

I’d love to hear your vote. Which would you prefer?!?

Which Perspective is Mentally Ill?

May 20, 2018/2 Comments/in Conditions /by Dr. Todd Stone

Borderline Personality Disorder is a Mental Illness.

“Borderline personality disorder is characterized by a pervasive pattern of instability and hypersensitivity in interpersonal relationships, instability in self-image, extreme mood fluctuations, and impulsivity. Diagnosis is by clinical criteria. Treatment is with psychotherapy and drugs.” MerckManual

This mental illness is characterized by loving too strongly, hurting too deeply, and reacting to hurt too intensely. If you feel too much, you border on psychosis, which is defined as a complete loss of connection to reality.

Maybe you could stop hurting us…

Lol…they warn that “we will blame others for the pain we feel, but we are projecting and often paranoid.”

Which one is Mentally Ill? Which one crosses the border first?

This scenario has happened to me over and over. This is the one that happened most recently. I tried to be vague and anonymous. This is the same scenario that led Sacred Stone to believe she was a “mean person.” She said, “Ok, idiots, I guess I’m mean.”

Woman: Dr. Stone, I’d like your opinion.

Dr. Stone: But of course, I don’t even charge for my time and care.

Dr. Stone offers his opinion, which he openly admits might not be truth. “Try it and check the results. Many have found relief from my advice. That’s all I can say for sure.”

Woman: That is stupid and you are a bad person. Wrong and Bad, again.

Dr. Stone: I could be wrong, but I am almost certain I am not bad.

In this scenario, a long time patient left my practice claiming that I betrayed her. My betrayal was upsetting her friend, this woman, and not letting her have her opinion, that I am a bad person. LOL, I saved her daughters life four years ago.

I already knew she was going to leave, because I could feel it. I even asked her if everything was ok 4 or 5 times.

If you asked what my guess is, why she left, I think it was because I allowed her to see the depth of my hurt from a marital separation. We had been through so much together, I thought it would be ok to be real in front of her. My guess is that she thought I was mentally ill, or borderline. Lol

I could be wrong, but I won’t take the chance of revealing the depth of hurt I feel to anyone not on the Border team, ever again!

So Who Is Mentally Ill? Which one?

The person who gives his opinion or the person who finds someone to be a bad person for having a unique perspective. Perhaps, the person who feels hurt when someone calls him a bad person, or the person who feels hurt because I argued that her opinion is wrong.

The person who insists he is not a bad person or the person who says “Dr. Stone has to be right about everything” when I insist that I am not a bad person.

I teach my kids about FIRST BLOOD. Remember Rambo, he taught me this.

The first person with a hurtful intention draws first blood. The one who hits when play wrestling gets too rough. I think its first blood when someone declares you are a bad person because of your unique perspective.

Our culture thinks it’s pretty normal to categorize nearly everyone into some bad category. My category of bad-ness is Borderline Personality Disorder. Not officially. I was assessed by a psychologist as no diagnosable mental illness. But someone who called me bad, labelled my badness BPD. If you are a Republican, I often hear them declare that Democrats are bad people.

I think that calling anyone anything other than a Gift of God, is the mental illness.

I have a name for that mental illness, that I learned in high school. We called people that hurt for no reason, “dicks.” Lol. Only now I know they hurt, because they were wounded by the rules.

Let me share my unique perspective. I am certain about what I have seen, heard, and felt. If you play along, you might learn something very valuable. I call it a different perspective. My mental illness allows me to easily step into your shoes, and feel your perspective.

Would you like to step into my shoes? “I felt like something is not right about me, because I didn’t seem to fit into any of the many categories our hard culture teaches. I never have complete relief from Pain, because so many of the categories are considered bad, leaving our people wounded and hiding, or hurting back. White man is supposedly the “best category,” but it feels horrifying. Hard and hurtful!”

I even tried hurting, because the white men in charge seemed to be the most hurtful. LOL.

I found a way to be hard and hurtful, softly. I would see someone being a dick, and walk right up and say, “You’re a dick.” In our culture, first blood is when you declare war. He would declare war, and when he saw the intensity of my fury, the war was lost. “Crap, this guy is nuts.” Lol. Over 50 street fights with 2 losses.

I teach my children about first blood, and that in our culture people get to say hurtful things to you, so you must not react. Just let it go. Don’t even defend yourself. I teach them that if someone physically hurts them, hold up their stop sign and say STOP, with all your strength. And if they don’t stop, come get dad, and I will help convince them to back off.

Don’t worry, it won’t go past revealing the intensity of my fury. Once they see that I am mentally ill, I’ll give them one more chance, to run away.

Please vote for who you think is mentally ill!

Is it Dr. Stone, who feels hurt too deeply, or the dicks who hurt for no reason!?

If you are on the border team, or somehow “not right,” I have some medicine that helps with the hurt of a hard culture. It takes the edge off so you appear less insane. Lol. CLICK HERE.
