An explosion in the use of antidepressants has been linked to the tragic rise in the number of youth suicides in Australia.
As a result, experts in the field — and the nation’s leading suicide prevention organisations — stand accused of getting the management of depression “horribly wrong”.
Suicides among young Australians have leapt by nearly 40 per cent since 2009 at the same time as the use of antidepressants has surged by 60 per cent in this age group, research shows.
More than 430,000 Australians aged under 27 (up from 149,538 in 2008) are now using antidepressants including over 100,000 under the age of 17 (up from 29,773 in 2008), Health Department figures show.
(Tom’s note: Please bear in mind these researchers do not take into account that you are a spiritual being, they think of you only as a body, so they are missing the key element in the big picture, the elephant in the china shop if you will. So in the article when they refer to structure, accept their label of the brain but when they refer to function, they would be more accurate to refer to the mind or you, the spirit.)
A 2013 study on mice published in the journal Brain, Structure and Function used differed types of noise and silence and monitored the effect the sound and silence had on the brains of the mice. The silence was intended to be the control in the study but what they found was surprising. The scientists discovered that when the mice were exposed to two hours of silence per day they developed new cells in the hippocampus. The hippocampus is a region of the brain associated with memory, emotion and learning.

Here’s a LOL to brighten your day!
Every year, a larger band of human rights and environmental activists show up at the Chevron shareholders meeting to stubbornly speak truth to power.
Only a week after “Anti-Chevron Day” when protests took place in five different countries, activists came out once again to target the “worst corporate actor on the planet.” This year Chevron won another award for being the “Corporate Bully of the Year.”
From deliberately dumping 16 billion gallons of toxic oil waste in the Amazon (which it refuses to clean up) to criminally neglecting safety measures leading to its Richmond refinery exploding and sending 15,000 local community members to the hospital, Chevron is in a class of its own.
This simple drink can boost your morning health and wellness regimen — and it’s so easy to make. There are a number of professional athletes and Olympians who start their morning with lemon and salt water, which may say something about its effectiveness.
A 10-ounce glass of warm lemon water with Himalayan salt in the morning can increase your immune function, decrease uric acid to fight inflammation, improve digestion, and balance your body. These benefits can be attributed to the vitamin C content of the lemon juice as well as the essential minerals contained in Himalayan salt. This simple morning drink promotes vitality, health, and overall wellness, and may even improve your sex drive!
Nearly 92 million U.S. adults, or about 38 percent of the population, took a legitimately prescribed opioid like OxyContin or Percocet in 2015, according to results from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/more-than-one-third-americans-prescribed-opioids-in-2015/
One out of five Americans say they personally know someone who has been addicted to opioids or prescription painkillers. https://www.npr.org/2018/05/23/613854559/opioid-crisis-takes-a-toll-on-economic-outlook-for-many-americans-fed-says

Research data on soy, butter and other fats and hemp. The chemical industry perpetually uses devious tactics to con health-seeking people into poisoning themselves. The confusion existing around fats and oils is intentional, and it is designed to prevent us from making healthier choices.
Of particular interest was the fact that in Asia, soy is no longer fermented using the traditional processes and as a result Asians are less healthy.
