As this is my 49th post of the week and I won't be able to respond, I will nevertheless read all of your advice on this. Shemp, I do not speak from experience, merely observation. And, from observation, many people have been helped by such drugs. If you want evidence of the kinds of changes in what one chooses to focus on and relief from obsessional patterns of thinking, one need go no further than Fairfield Life. At least two of our members have (IMO) benefitted greatly from the drugs that were prescribed for them in recent months/years. In one case, a person seems to have overcome a great deal of obsessional behavior and posting (thinking) patterns, and another overcame a period of depression related to some extent with the economic downturn and being out of work. From my perspective, both of their turnarounds were profound enough to be a clear commercial for the positive benefits of such drugs. Weigh this against that which is probably causing a lot of your resistance to taking the drugs. A lot of that resistance might be based on Maharishisez. That one word dictates what a lot of people on this forum believe represents Truth (on a subtle level, even if they have rejected it on a conscious level). There is still this feeling that Maharishisez somehow represented some Eternal Truth from the Vedas, which as we all know (being Old) were Truth Incarnate. So, just *look around* at the lives of and the recur- ring thought patterns (as represented by the things they choose to post about here) of those who have lived their lives according to Maharishisez. Do they strike you as HAPPY people? Do they seem fulfilled and free of stress? You've been around the TM movement as long as many people here, and have seen many of the walking wounded who represent the collective wisdom of Maha- rishisez. My advice would be to weigh these two perceptions and come to your own conclusions. Ruth can offer more exper- ienced advice on the medical pros and cons of a partic- ular drug. I can offer only observational second-hand advice based on seeing their effects on other people, some of them on this forum. Yeah, I've heard some of the horror stories told by believers in Maharishisez and in Other Gurus say, but I don't buy it. *Most* of the people I've encountered who took such drugs, and in moderation, under a doctor's care, seemed to benefit from them. The only negatives I have ever seen were in people who turned drugs that were pre- scribed for them for a short time into a multi-year drug dependency, and an escape from reality. For every- one else, what I've observed is an enhanced ability to appreciate reality, freed to some extent from the types of habitual thought and behavioral patterns that were preventing them from enjoying reality. Good luck with making your decision, and making progress in whatever way you want to. As I've said, I've never taken any of these drugs and thus cannot comment on them first-hand. But based on my second-hand observation of those who have taken them and benefitted, trying some- thing new seems to work better than repeating the same old same old and hoping that someday it'll work.
[FairfieldLife] Re: TM critical site blocked for MUM students
I'll chime in on this only from the point of view of a confirmed omnivore, not as a hunter. I was a vegetarian for years, and felt better in every possible way when I dropped it and went back to eating what my body felt like eating. That now is my only guide. Sometimes I'll go for weeks without eating meat; other times I'll eat lots of it. As for hunting and eating one's own kill, I have more respect for that than I do someone (including myself) who buys some shrink-wrapped meat at a market. Those who believe that the vegetables they eat don't feel being killed just haven't looked very deeply into things. Those who scream Ahimsa kill thousands of micro-organisms with every breath they take. I've heard supposed vegetarians claim that fish are OK because they're just fast vegetables and don't feel pain, so it's OK to eat them. Yeah, right. The whole planet is an entropy sink, with one set of energy beings replenishing the energy lost to entropy with energy from other sources. It's just how things work. Until you can exist on pure air, without eating *anything*, it doesn't seem to me that you have the right to look down your nose at anyone who chooses to eat something different than you do. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Vaj vajradh...@... wrote: On Jun 17, 2009, at 8:34 PM, Alex Stanley wrote: Some years ago, I witnessed a coyote chasing one of our cats up a tree, right in the back yard. My policy is that on most of our 190 acres, the coyotes can do whatever the hell they want, and if a cat gets caught out there, so be it. But, right around the house, I have a zero tolerance policy for coyotes, and in the past, I've shot a few of them. Our coyotes aren't very big. I feel the same way, although I haven't shot anything, it's New England custom for everyone to have some sort of varmint gun handy when such situations arise. I only have 20 acres, but my neighbor, recently deceased, has 500+ acres. Prime hunting grounds and near a mile of lakefront. And, guys who only hunt bucks also do nothing to control the deer population (because one buck can service a huge number of females.) Hunting does is what controls the population. Most deer hunting states won't even give you a buck tag until you've taken a certain number of does, but Iowa doesn't do that. My sole interest in hunting deer is the meat, so I only hunt does (buck meat is much less desirable). One has to wonder if the almost universal desire to kill a buck is a type of oedipal complex. I let a friend of mine come out here to hunt, and he shot a buck last winter. One reason he likes hunting out here, besides the fact that it is perfect deer ground, is that I have a tractor with a front-end loader. I went out in the tractor to scoop up his buck, and the stench of it nearly made me gag. The fascination with trophy bucks completely escapes me. I'm curious since my own dislike of venison is it's gamey taste (although I do like male deer bologna or sausage). It's common in cow meat to castrate the males used for meat. Could it be the un-castrated male buck meat that I'm reacting to? Is doe meat sweeter and more palatable? Have you read the book In Defense of Hunting by James A. Swan? He's an expert on sacred space and the sacred aspect of hunting. Show me a real hunter/huntress and I'll show you a man or woman with a very deep appreciation for the interconnectedness of life and reality. No, I haven't read it. My perspective is that biologically, humans are omnivores, and that from my own experience, a vegetarian diet is suboptimal for my physiology. What isn't at all a consideration for me are any fear-based religious dogmas. I don't regard diet type as having anything whatsoever to do with spiritual awakening. As Rory remarked this afternoon, the Gita says to be *without* the three gunas. When I trained in Ayurveda--pure Ayurveda, not the Maharishi variety, we were taught how to prescribe various animal meats. It's interesting, the whole vegetarian trip is relatively late in the Hindu mindset. It's largely derived from Jainism and Buddhism, not original Hinduism. From an original Shaivite perspective, it's looked at as a type of deviation from the natural order. I do try to avoid factory farmed meat, so I buy some local, pasture raised lamb, and I took up deer hunting. I still buy organic Smart Chicken at the grocery store, which I'm sure is factory raised on grain, but I'm less fussy about that because chickens naturally eat lots of seeds, so grain-fed chicken doesn't bother me as much as grain-fed grazing animals. If local pastured chicken becomes available, I'll buy it. I'm fortunate in that we have one of the oldest organic co-ops in the US here in Maine and the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA) is looked at as the

[FairfieldLife] Interesting articles in the UK edition of Wired
I was traveling back to Sitges from France yesterday, and picked up a copy of the new UK edition of Wired magazine in the airport. There were a few articles in it that might be of interest here. The first (and it may have been quoted in the original thread) concerns homosexuality in animals, and reasons why this may occur: http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2009-06/17/what%27s-the-purpose-of-homosexuality-in-animals.aspx The second struck me as relevant because of everyone chiming in about drugs (and occasion- ally vitamins) here as if they knew what they were talking about. This is a scary article about Mathias Rabb, a vitamin salesman who essentially perpetrated a kind of genocide in South Africa by convincing the public (and worse, public officials) that his vitamins could prevent contracting AIDS. Scary stuff: http://www.wired.co.uk/wired-magazine/archive/2009/06/start/the-man-who-sold-out-medicine.aspx Finally, for those who are interested in the science of persuasion, the reason I bought the magazine is that it said right on the cover, in big letters, YOU WILL BUY ME. :-) I was intrigued, and picked it up and thumbed through it enough to realize that it was a very detailed and excellent article about the methods of advertising and persuasion (many of them far more high-tech and intrusive than you may be aware of) that are *already* being used to control what you buy...and *who* you buy as politicians. Good articles, not all of which are in the online version of the mag, but this one is: http://www.wired.co.uk/wired-magazine/archive/2009/06/features/ads-can-new-read--you.aspx

If you have the potential for addiction, might not be a good choice long term. I Googled, and xanax should only be prescribed for the short term. So, using it as directed, for 8 weeks max, might be ok. But, the stuff is highly addictive, and withdrawal is a bitch. I think that if I were faced with this, I would ponder whether the crisis situation causing the anxiety is likely to be longer term than the max 8 weeks on xanax. If a short time on xanax would be sufficient, I'd probably go for it. If longer term medication were likely to be needed, I might use xanax for a month or less for immediate relief, and I'd immediately start seeking out medical advice on a suitable longer term medication.
[FairfieldLife] A Challenge To The Hillary Hanger-On-ers
Having written earlier about TRENDS in people's posts, here's another I've noticed. Here it is over a year after Hillary lost her bid for the Presidential nomination, the Hillary Hanger-On-ers keep bringing it up, and yet I cannot remember a single post in which they pointed out a reason for her losing *that was Hillary's fault*. Everything has been in terms of victim mentality. Hillary lost because such-and-such was done to her. Hillary lost because so-and-so done her wrong. Hillary lost because the deck was stacked against her by such-and-such nefarious people or organization. NOT ONCE do I remember the two strident Hillary sup- porters citing anything that was actually Hillary's FAULT as a reason for her loss. It was always SOMEONE ELSE'S FAULT. So here's my challenge: Write a post in which you list five things that Hillary Clinton did wrong or did badly -- so wrong or so badly that these mistakes or inadequacies cost her the nom- ination. These five bullet points cannot be back-door blame arguments, like Hillary wasn't tough enough on all the people using sexism against her, which implies (again) that losing wasn't really her fault...it was these *other* people's fault...the ones she wasn't tough enough on. Nope, these have to be five mistakes or mis- steps that she herself bears the responsibility for. Because -- damnit -- Hillary was running for the biggest The Buck Stops Here office in the world. IF she had won the nomination and the Presidency, she would not have been *able* to play the blame game and point fingers at others when criticized. As President, the buck stops with her. As a candidate for President, and the person in charge of her campaign, I think that the buck stops equally with her. To her credit, I've seen Hillary be open about and take responsibility for some of these fuckups on her part. To her credit, *she* does not whine and play the blame game, especially now that the game is history, and forgotten by all except those who don't seem to be able to play anything *else*. This should not be a hard task. I can think of five such points just off the top of my head. If I needed to Google to back them up, I can think of five or six articles written during the primaries by journalists traveling with Hillary's campaign that wrote eloquently about the chaos behind the scenes, the ego-battles and histrionics, the in-fighting, the economic shambles that her campaign became, and the effect that *her* behind-the-scenes tendency to rip her campaign members a new asshole when things were going badly. You Hillary Hanger-On-ers should equally be able to find such articles, and thus come up with five points to meet my challenge. But will you? Are you even ABLE to put into writing the things that Hillary did wrong *without* blaming them on someone else? I guess we'll see...

And it's the *glee*, the unmitigated hatred *with which* you pounce that also reveals that your claim to be unbiased is a bigger lie than any he has ever told. Get real. NO ONE on this forum believes that you do not have a bias against Obama. NO ONE on this forum believes that your obvious bias has anything to do with anything other than getting back at him for all the supposed Bad Things he did to Hillary. You share a kind of self-dishonesty with Judy Stein. That is, you actually seem to believe that if you say stuff about the supposed why of the things that you obsess about ad infinitum, that theoretical why makes them less an obsession. It doesn't. Most of us here are evolved enough perceivers to be able to perceive TRENDS. Clearly you cannot. But the fact that you cannot see your own TRENDS and see them for what they are does not mean that they do not exist. The fact that you can come up with self-serving claims *about* the TRENDS does not make the claims true. For the record: WE DON'T BELIEVE WHAT YOU SAY. WE BELIEVE ONLY WHAT YOU DO. And what you DO is obsess about Barack Obama, and play adolescent gotcha games to get back at him for revealing that your preferred candidate for President wasn't qualified to be President. THAT is what you can never forgive.
[FairfieldLife] Hillary broke her elbow
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton fell and broke her elbow on Wednesday while en route to the White House but will resume her full duties soon as the top U.S. diplomat, the State Department said. Clinton will have surgery to repair her elbow in the next week, her chief of staff Cheryl Mills said in a statement released overnight. On the way to the White House late this afternoon, Secretary Clinton fell and suffered a right elbow fracture. She was treated at The George Washington University Hospital before heading home, Mills said. http://tinyurl.com/mdkjfh http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSTRE55H0KN20090618

Here's the advice I seek: three months ago when this crisis started, my GP prescribed me 0.5mg of Xanax. I have never taken such a drug before in my life and, up to now, have been afraid to. But this nervousness that I feel everyday, I'm fed up with. So I am seriously considering taking it. I filled the prescription today and the bottle is sitting on my kitchen counter. what do you think: should I take it? Pro's and con's, please. I'm desperate! As this is my 49th post of the week and I won't be able to respond, I will nevertheless read all of your advice on this. I can appreciate your apprehension in taking the drug. Many here have already cited the downside the this particular pharmaceutical. After all so many of these drugs come with long litanies of contraindications its a wonder they're even legal.About the only pharmaceutical I've taken in recent years was just an antibiotic that my dentist or oral surgeon would prescribe. They also provided a prescription for a pain killer which I had filled once but never used because I didn't need it. A few years back after have a tooth extract the surgeon prescribed Vioxx. I felt so lousy on that that I just put it on my drug allergy list (very short, sulfa is the other). You've never said what your ayurvedic constitution is. Some of us can make vague stabs and you seem to be interested in treating vata. But I also know that some people are under the assumption that they have a vata imbalance when they may not. Vata imbalances are quite common but with often quickly treatable. The constitution can give a better clue as to why you have having these panic attacks. They can occur with both vata and pitta depression. You might look up a practitioner or two and see what they say. There is often no harm in experimenting with some of the teas and seeing how they effect you. Whether they improve or worsen the situation. The more you know about ayurveda the more you can use it as a powerful tool to keep you on track mentally and physically. Unfortunately on FFL you'll have some ayurvedic naysayers who do not understand the practice and may have had a bad experience with a poor practitioner. And we have a few who will critique the movie without having seen it if you catch my drift.

As usual you are over-rationalizing. If you are a killer you will be killed; as you sow so shall you reap. What do you think happens to a killer when he drops the body ? He has already lost his body, so what further mishaps could happen to him, in your opinion ? Since I do not expect an informed answer from Rick; to all the foolish meat-eaters out there: Whatever ignorant harm you choose to do to yourself; do not eat Frogs. Eating Frogs during your lifetime will get you in big trouble the day you inevitably will have to drop your body. BIG trouble. snip We dropped some acid and lived like woodsmen. Frogs legs were part of our strange and meager. Pray tell, what's going to happen to me when I die, Nabby? When you die ? It has already happened; a person dedicated to slandering Saints is already enjoying his karma. While you're at it, tell us what happened to Rama, Lakshman, and Sita after they died. When they were in exile, they shot and ate deer. But not frogs.

I've seen this happen, too. In New York I worked for a time in a very tall skyscraper, near the top floor. Well, one day I got on the elevator going down, and found it almost full. Those elevators were weight sensitive, which meant that it knew that it was full and thus didn't stop at any of the other floors unless someone on it had pushed a button to get off on that floor. Well, everyone was being New Yawkers, which means that they were standing their sullen and glum, no one interacting with anyone else, no one saying a thing or even looking at anyone else. This went on until the elevator got to one of the middle floors of the building. Then the car stopped, and one guy got off. The doors closed and glum silence returned. After a few floors, a guy at the back of the elevator said out loud, I don't know about the rest of you, but I kind of miss him. Everyone cracked up. Laughter just like in this film clip. By the time we reached the ground floor, some people had tears in their eyes from laughing so hard. And when we got to the ground floor, people looked around and said goodbye to these people they had never said hello to in years of working in that building together. Interestingly, over the next few months, every time one of us ran into someone who shared the same elevator ride, we would crack up and laugh all over again.

If you are concerned about the addictive potential, you might ask your doctor about BuSpar which is also an antianxiety agent but is not related to the benzodiazepines (like Xanax), barbiturates, or other sedating anxiolytic drugs. If you have issues that are more long term you might look into the SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) which are very effective for anxiety and depression. There are side effects (everyone hears about the potential for sexual side effects) and you have to wean yourself off of them carefully. Paroxetine (Paxil) is one example. These take a few weeks to build up in your system to work.

It's common in cow meat to castrate the males used for meat. Could it be the un-castrated male buck meat that I'm reacting to? Is doe meat sweeter and more palatable? Buck meat does have a much stronger taste than doe meat, but doe meat has a strong taste compared to beef. I use a lot of seasoning on venison to balance out the flavor. One reason buck meat may taste so strong is that hunting season takes place during mating season, when the bucks have hormones up the wazoo flowing through their systems. Also, proper butchering makes a big difference. I watched the guy butcher several of my deer, and there are a few places between large muscle groups where there are small glands about the size of a pea that need to be removed. If they are not removed, they ramp up the gamey taste considerably.

Off probably believes that fruit will cure or prevent AIDS, too. Shemp, read this article before you pay much attention to anyone's advice here but Ruth's (the best so far). This guy (Mathias Rabb) had odd ideas about miracle cures, too. His ideas killed an estimated 343,000 people. The man who sold out medicine http://www.wired.co.uk/wired-magazine/archive/2009/06/start/the-man-who\ -sold-out-medicine.aspx#comments By Ben Goldacre|03 June 2009 [Wired UK magazine reports on the activities of Mathias Rath, who believes vitamins can cure HIV] The alternative-therapy industry is worth billions of pounds and the techniques used to market it are very familiar: buzzwords like natural and holistic, distortions of trial data, the denigration of mainstream medicine, conspiracy theories involving the pharmaceutical industry, and so on. They are indulged because they seem harmless, and tend to target the worried well. But what would happen if we took these sleights of hand and transplanted them out of our Western context, into a situation where medicines can literally mean living or dying? In an ideal world, this would be only hypothetical. Aids is the opposite of anecdote, and the numbers involved are so huge that it is hard to mount an emotional response to them. Around 25 million people have died from it already, three million in the last year alone, and 500,000 of those who died were children. In South Africa it kills 300,000 every year: that's 800 people every day, or one every two minutes. This one country has 6.3 million people who are HIV-positive, including 30 per cent of all pregnant women. There are 1.2 million Aids orphans. Most chillingly of all, this disaster has appeared suddenly, and while we were watching: in 1990, just one per cent of adults in South Africa were HIV-positive. If you were walking into this situation with a solution, you'd make very certain that you were on solid footing. Matthias Rath is one of the world's leading vitamin-pill salesmen, his fortune made in Europe and America on the back of huge sales in health-food shops and online. He went to South Africa in 2004, and began taking full-page adverts in newspapers. The answer to the Aids epidemic is here, he proclaimed. Antiretroviral (ARV) drugs were poisonous, and a conspiracy to kill patients and make money. Stop Aids Genocide by the Drugs Cartel, ran one headline. Why should South Africans continue to be poisoned with AZT? There is a natural answer to Aids. The answer came in the form of vitamin pills. Multi-vitamin treatment is more effective than any toxic Aids drug. Multivitamins cut the risk of developing Aids in half. Rath's company ran clinics that gave multivitamins away for free. In 2005, he decided to run a trial of his own formulation, VitaCell, in a township near Cape Town called Khayelitsha, giving it to people with advanced Aids. Tragically, he had taken these ideas to the right place. Thabo Mbeki, South Africa's president until 2008, is an Aids denialist who has compared Aids researchers to Nazis. At various times during the peak of the Aids epidemic in South Africa, his government argued that HIV is not the cause of Aids, and that antiretroviral drugs are not useful. It refused to roll out proper treatment programmes; it refused to accept grant money from the UN's Global Fund to buy anti-Aids medication; and it refused to accept donations of medication. The consequences were inevitable. One study estimates that if the South African national government had used antiretroviral drugs for prevention and treatment at the same rate as the Western Cape province, which defied national policy on the issue, around 171,000 new HIV infections and 343,000 deaths might have been prevented between 1999 and 2007. It's an astonishing death toll for nothing more than a bad idea. Another study estimates that between 2000 and 2005 there were 330,000 unnecessary deaths, 2.2 million person years lost, and 35,000 babies born with HIV unnecessarily because of the failure to implement a cheap and simple mother-to-child transmission- prevention programme. Between one and three doses of an ARV drug can reduce transmission dramatically. The cost is negligible. It was not available. Matthias Rath's colleague and employee, a South African barrister named Anthony Brink, takes the credit for introducing Thabo Mbeki to many of these ideas.

Here's the advice I seek: three months ago when this crisis started, my GP prescribed me 0.5mg of Xanax. I have never taken such a drug before in my life and, up to now, have been afraid to. But this nervousness that I feel everyday, I'm fed up with. So I am seriously considering taking it. I filled the prescription today and the bottle is sitting on my kitchen counter. what do you think: should I take it? Pro's and con's, please. I'm desperate! As this is my 49th post of the week and I won't be able to respond, I will nevertheless read all of your advice on this. I can appreciate your apprehension in taking the drug. Many here have already cited the downside the this particular pharmaceutical. After all so many of these drugs come with long litanies of contraindications its a wonder they're even legal.About the only pharmaceutical I've taken in recent years was just an antibiotic that my dentist or oral surgeon would prescribe. They also provided a prescription for a pain killer which I had filled once but never used because I didn't need it. A few years back after have a tooth extract the surgeon prescribed Vioxx. I felt so lousy on that that I just put it on my drug allergy list (very short, sulfa is the other). You've never said what your ayurvedic constitution is. Some of us can make vague stabs and you seem to be interested in treating vata. But I also know that some people are under the assumption that they have a vata imbalance when they may not. Vata imbalances are quite common but with often quickly treatable. The constitution can give a better clue as to why you have having these panic attacks. They can occur with both vata and pitta depression. You might look up a practitioner or two and see what they say. There is often no harm in experimenting with some of the teas and seeing how they effect you. Whether they improve or worsen the situation. The more you know about ayurveda the more you can use it as a powerful tool to keep you on track mentally and physically. Unfortunately on FFL you'll have some ayurvedic naysayers who do not understand the practice and may have had a bad experience with a poor practitioner. And we have a few who will critique the movie without having seen it if you catch my drift. * MAPI has an anxiety-reducing natural approach, and at $40/60 tabs, not absurdly expensive: Researchers at the University of California at San Diego (UCSD) conducted a randomized, controlled pilot study to measure the effects of Worry Free on ten patients who suffered from Generalized Anxiety Disorder, a condition that affects 25% of the population.

[FairfieldLife] Were Iran's election numbers too good to be true?
http://www.slate.com/id/2220608 http://www.slate.com/id/2220608 ...on purely statistical grounds, the Iranian election numbers look more or less reasonable. It might be a different story if Ahmadinejad had drawn between 67.1 percent and 67.3 percent in all six batches, suggesting a standard deviation of less than 0.1 percentor if 500 mini-batches of data, each making up 0.2 percent of the vote, were all in that 62 percent to 70 percent range. (One reason American readers may be more used to seeing wide swings in the vote totals is that our fine-grained media start reporting results when just a few percent of the votes are in.) I'm not saying the election wasn't fixed; Juan Cole http://www.juancole.com/2009/06/stealing-iranian-election.html and Richard Sexton http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2009/06/iran-does-have-some-fishy-number\ s.html offer more reasons for doubting the government's numbers. On the other side, Ken Ballen and Patrick Doherty argue http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/06/14/AR20090\ 61401757.html that their pre-election polling is consistent with a big Ahmadinejad win. Either way, the final verdict on the Iranian election won't be settled by drawing a graph. The official numbers may or not be authentic, but they're definitely messy enough to be true.
