Silent Genocide of the Elderly

It is not well known, but nursing home residents that have absolutely no psychotic disorders are given anti-psychotic drugs. The use of such powerful drugs is problematic for the nursing home residents that have absolutely no condition calling for the administration of the drugs because most of the residents already have a form of dementia, a condition that puts them at an increased risk of death when given these powerful drugs. These psychotropic drugs are designed, questionably, to treat people with severe mental illnesses such as schizophrenia, not dementia, and certainly not those that have absolutely no neurological problems.

Most nursing home residents are treated with these anti-psychotic drugs simply to "sedate" them (aka, to "drug" them), but especially to control and suppress behaviors of any residents that are "difficult" for the (under-staffed) nursing home staff.

It is said that victims that have been subjected to this mistreatment, that were subsequently relieved of forced feeding of these "medications", expressed that being drugged in this manner may outwardly seem like the victim is calm and complacent, but inwardly they feel alone and trapped, like being locked up in solitary confinement, a horrifically unpleasant existence for those that already have mental difficulties, or don't.

Millions of baby boomers are expected to develop dementia, many of which will end up in nursing homes. If you are a boomer or know someone that is, take note, warn others, prepare...

Footnote. Consider that rather than sedating elders with debilitating drugs, why not give them medical marijuana instead, which has been proven to be beneficial for many conditions of the elderly. Let them "grow their own" in their rooms, in the hallways, in their sun-rooms, give them something interesting to cultivate. Maybe grow some herbs and spices too... Seriously.

Note that, "it is said", that this intentional drugging of the elderly is performed primarily to reduce costs. Consider that the anti-psychotics may have a price, but the fact that they make the nursing home residents "controllable", drugged up, sitting around gazing out the window or mindlessly shoved in front of a TV all day, allows the nursing homes to "manage" the residents with considerably less staff, which saves considerably more money than the drugs cost. Our point is that this travesty is inflicted on the elderly out of greed, and everyone should raise some hell about this damnable scenario. Further consider, that could be you someday -- wouldn't you rather catch a natural buzz, get the munchees, eat some pizza, feel horny again, rather than be doped up such that you sit in a corner and slobber all over yourself, and do other things that we won't mention...?

Retired, Goin Crazy? A Solution?

Recently retireded? Your "significant other" recently retired? Both of you? Oh, you had some fun for a while, taking life easy, sleeping in, being lazy, relaxing, while also doing all those things you never had time to do before, whenever you damn well feel like it.

But now you (or your sig-oth, or both of you) are getting bored with it all. Emails and Facebook are getting to be the same-ole same-ole. Reading books doesn't do much for you all anymore. Watching TV turns out to be watching commercials, with some two hour B-movie sprinkled in that is now 4 hours long, and you have seen the move twenty times already. Going visiting or shopping requires cleaning up, dressing up, and then actually gettin out and going somewhere. And on and on. You do this one day, you do that the next day, but it all falls into the same old routine, and you and/or the sig-oth still have a waaay toooo muuuch time with nothing much to do of interest. Beside that, your sig-oth is starting to go stir-crazy, pestering you, driving YOU crazy (or crazier...or vice versa?).

So. Consider that the world we live in, and especially the one our descendants are going to have to survive in, has become a deadly treacherous place to try to exist in, and is becoming increasingly worse, and will continue to do so unless something is done to halt this mad race of the herd of lemmings to jump over the cliff of destruction.

Now. Consider that YOU or your sig-other, or both of you together can become activists (again?) and join in with others to stop the certifiably insane corruption and decline of the planet we live on.

Consider also that getting involved in addressing the ills of this planet, or some of them, would be satisfying and rewarding. Your children and grandchildren would look up to you as doing good, being "cool" in their eyes. And, getting into this type of endeavor not only makes you an informed and knowledgeable person able to help others, but if you are getting up there in years, the mental efforts involved will make you sharper and keep you sharp...

Not sure how to get started? Don't know anyone that does, or does not have the time to help you out? We have a page on our main WisBits website that provides some basic entry information on how to get started, and of course we are available to help if you have additional questions, as are a huge number of good folks out there on forums and in help groups. Here is a link to the getting started page on our main WisBits website, "How to Establish a FREE Website/Blog Like Ours".

One caution. You all may get so involved in your "activism", that you may well find yourselves "working" sixteen hours a day, neglecting to do simple things like shave and shower, and even necessary things like eat, exercise, and sleep.

Lastly, one serious precaution. If you get right in there where all the dirty dealings begin to transition from a distant hazy mirage, into a ravenous hoard of snarling, ugly, slobbering mad dogs, when you see just how corrupt the world has become, it may well sicken, frighten, sadden, disgust, and enrage you beyond your prior comprehension of your ability to do so. This type of endeavor is definitely NOT for the meek, nor for anyone that might have anger or blood pressure problems. Seriously. If you are not up to looking into the stinking cesspool of corruption, but might still like to try to do some good, then you can still blog about good things, just stay away from the reality of just how horrifically screwed up the "leadership" of this sick planet has become; not that it was ever really great...

Prostate Health/Cancer Truths/Advice

In the year 2009, a count of more than 218,000 American men were diagnosed with some form of prostate problem, from BPH to cancer.

A report by the mainstream medical community on clinical studies regarding this topic, indicated that of seven prostate cancer treatments offered by mainstream medicine, ranging from prostate removal to radioactive implants, not only did none of these mainstream recommendations have any redeemable merit, but they also were indicated as causing "harm", with the most superior treatment being to do nothing at all medically. Studies have also indicated that the PSA test for prostate cancer saves few lives and generally leads to the introduction of the aforementioned "harm", doing more harm than good. We did NOT make this up -- there are links at the bottom of this post to the report and an article from the New York Times about the report.

But first, we have to relate that we have personally experienced relatives being inflicted with this cancer and had already come to this same conclusion long ago because of that experience. The point which we came away with is that while mainstream medicine admits that their treatments are not only not effective in this scenario and conversely "does harm", that there are alternative treatments that are effective not only in treatment of the cancer, but most importantly in preventative measures to avoid every contracting the cancer in the first place.

We list some advice based on our acquired knowledge from our personal experiences below. Note that this is still in a draft stage and that we are posting it with what information we have managed to document at this point, but that we intend to get back to this and add to the list...

Considerations for Prostate Health

The mineral zinc is hailed as the most effective measure in avoidance of prostate disorders -- note that men deplete zinc when they ejaculate.

A daily supplement of 50 to 100 milligrams of zinc for men is the general recommendation, depending on the degree of zinc depletion and also ingestion of foods rich in zinc. Be careful to avoid consistently consuming the equivalent of more than 100 milligrams of zinc for prolonged periods of time.

Although animal based foods such as meat and dairy products are rich sources of zinc, they should generally be avoided as the modern day products are heavily tainted with contaminants that can lead to prostate cancer...

Lycopene is an antioxidant agent that is said to be beneficial for prostate health.

Saw palmetto extract and nettle leaf are highly recommended supplements for the prostate.

Fermented soy products such as tofu, tempeh, and miso are said to be beneficial for prostate health -- non-fermented soy is not recommended.

Genistein and isoflavinoids, which are found in soy, have been found to be particularly effective against hormone dependent cancers such as prostate cancer.

Beta-bitosterol, one of many beneficial plant sterols, is said to be very important in many health conditions including prostate health -- good sources are pecans, cashews, saw palmetto, avocados, pumpkin seeds, black cumin seed, pygeum africanum, rice bran, wheat germ, sea buckthorn, and wolfberry (also referred to commercially as goji berry).

The spices circumen and cayenne pepper contribute to prostate (and overall) health.

We should note that some studies have indicated that increased sexual activity in men under forty tends to increase the incidence of prostate cancer but the opposite is true of men over forty. What the studies failed to address and clarify on the former point, was that the high level of ejaculations led to zinc deficiencies which cause prostate problems. And, to emphasize the latter point, older men that remain sexually active have a lower incidence of prostate cancer. The bottom line is to clean out that prostate gland, but don't overwork it unless you supplement with zinc to compensate...
