It's large of you to try to assist. I think that, by now you have enough phones-on experience with "aberrant individuals" to appreciate that there are severe limits to what anyone-not-They can accomplish - which actually *helps*. (We are all in this boat re "someone who Isn't moi".) Hope you can avert taking-on all that personal angst, admirable as such an attitude appears, on the face of it.

(My own view is 'an aberrant one' too) - I imagine that the odds of his seeking (and Finding!) an actually effective form of 'therapy' are vanishingly small. First-off, given the state of 'medical care' in US - This Co$ts Lots (even when it's ineffective or even if the 'method' is just plain idiotic, but Popular).

I don't think you can achieve much via the standard-ez-cheap HMO-means, now almost universally enforced: adding some new witch's brew of More pharm-chem into a nervous system and immune system likely functioning quite poorly over many years. The standard US diet is oblivious to the needs of a truly healthy digestive system --> which also affects the immune system in myriad ways we barely understand at all.

If you add-in possibly regular OTC other chemicals to a bunch of 'personal issues': where would a Good Samaritan begin?

There are ways to detoxify, even after a pattern of rilly Bad eating and other habits; to my knowledge and experience, every one of these approaches demands (at least) 3 qualifications:

An awareness as large as a 'conviction' - that one needs to alter long-standing eating and other habits, to live.

A sincere willingness to bite that bullet of 'change', and to stay with the method over many months, at the very least. 'Weeks' aren't enough.

'Conditions' - at home, work? [and in the mind] as will at least not-sabotage the efforts. Conditions also involve $$ as always - really Good food is also not cheap - supply/demand. (That doesn't mean it isn't tasty - quite the opposite).

I've seen the effects of such changes in regimen and while "I don't do regimens" [Hah] I'm experimenting with one which I've recently seen save someone's life, literally. (Which I deemed a sufficient reason to verify some things for myself - call it Science.)

For the unwilling, as-in combative, disturbed or merely doggedly stubborn person -?- Save Your Breath. As Fritz Perls liked to say, "You are not here to meet my expectations and I am not here to meet yours". (That's not all he said, but it does tend to Get One's Attention)

Luck, Owlet - you are quite less infuriating than early-on, and you've said some actually wise things IMO; guess we won't have to stuff you / mount on teak perch, etc.

er, :-\ufffd

I've explained over and over, when you take it into my group, then I'm going to act. If you threaten suicide in my group, yes I'll call someone. If you make accusations in my group, yes I'll go wherever I have to to dispute them if I don't believe them. And if you make wild and crazy paranoid posts in my group, I will deal with those.

When you post it here or in your group, I do not feel as responsible, but when you come in mine and do it, I do.

You also need to bear in mind that YOU posted in your Yahoo IWT group asking about maybe having been banned. Who were you posting to, if not me, since I'm the one who mostly corresponds with you there. You asked for help with your connection problem, and I came here to get it.

Then when I had exhausted all options with John and technically, we had to consider that maybe you had done something unknowingly, yourself, and I had to make it clear to IWT that I was not aware that could have been the case at first. I did NOT post details of your condition here, my post mainly covered the possibility that one of your alter-egos had managed to surface and sabotage you. I didn't want to look like a fool if we had come to the conclusion that I was asking IWT to help solve a problem that you yourself had created, and that's the last thing I'm saying on it in here. You know where to find me in IWT Yahoo.

Post #170,025 by orion 8/19/04 12:08:03 AM Reply	I've had enough help from people who are not qualified to give help. If you all really care about me, you'd quit picking on me and let me handle this myself and with my doctor. I had to double my medicine recently to get into a better state. The more you push and shove and pick on me and bring up past behaviors, the more likely my suicidal thoughts will return, and I cannot afford that. So I am asking nicely to please lay off. *"When a true genius appears in the world you may know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in confederacy against him." - Jonathan Swift* [link\|http://www.xormad.com:4096/district268\|I am from District 268].

So, you leave us two options - stop responding to you entirely, or to ignore your advice. As far as giving away your secret, it's pretty much out in the open already - your own actions have shown the truth much better than any single post any of us have ever put down.

There may also be times that I get worse. If you cannot handle it, and it makes you sick, I strongly suggest you stop talking to me about it then. I'd rather have that, then have you get so sick you end up in a hospital from worrying about me.

Post #170,171 by Nightowl 8/19/04 1:31:44 PM Reply	Actually... It doesn't rot my teeth as bad as you'd think, because I now rinse with water after drinking it anywhere, and when I have the ability, I also brush afterwards. :) My dentist suggested those things, and so far, so good.

Post #170,176 by Nightowl 8/19/04 1:34:49 PM Reply	Ah ok But you're right, if not careful, it does rot your teeth. :) Sorry I didn't catch it as a joke.

Post #170,177 by pwhysall 8/19/04 1:35:16 PM Reply	Just your guts it's rotting, then. Mind you, when I was at university, my housemate had a severe bout of food poisoning resulting in painful diarrohea. In a "quiet" moment, he visited the local quack, who prescribed... ...two litres of Coca-Cola per day. It worked. Apparently the caramel in it binds you together, so to speak.

I'm doing a pretty good job, too. As an alternative, I drink Sunny Delight. But yes, I have heard that cola helps with those types of disorders, believe it or not. :) Nightowl >8# "A determined soul will do more with a rusty monkey wrench than a loafer will accomplish with all the tools in a machine shop." -- Robert Hughes, Australian Art Critic, Writer
