Whilst science is busy understanding why 50% of people don’t respond to the SSRI anti-depressants – fluoxetine (Prozac or Sarafem), citalopram (Celexa), paroxetine (Seroxat or Paxil) and sertraline (Zoloft), 
or experience severe side-effects (see the study led by Professor Rene Han, professor of pharmacology in the Departments of Psychiatry and Neuroscience at Columbia University, published in the January 2010 issue of the Journal Neuron and also the work at Michigan by Dr John Traynor, professor of pharmacology at the U-M Medical School and director of the U-M Substance Abuse Research Center, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences) – someone may have forgotten to tell your doctor.
And given that anti-depressants are one of the most over-prescribed drugs on the market – SSRI use increased from from 14.7 million in 2005 to 16.2 million in 2006 in the UK and 118 million prescriptions were written for antidepressants in the USA in 2005, I would think very carefully before asking my doctor for them.

It’s widely panned as myth and an Continue reading →
We’re experimenting with a DLAN wireless home network, which is looking good. If you’re aware of what damage the pulsed microwave frequencies of wifi, portable (cell) and DECT phones etc. can do to the human body and its chakras, you might be limiting your phone use, or avoiding a wireless connection and using a LAN cable instead right now. It’s what we’ve been recommending for our Energy Solutions clients up until a few days ago. Then my awareness was drawn to the DLAN solution.
I’d read about D-LANs for some time but never quite understood how they worked or where you got one. Well, necessity being the mother of invention, and ‘co-incidence’ the voice of the spirit, I was browsing in the local Orange store for a possible way to get an internet connection into a bedroom for a guest without draping a 30m cable down the stairs, through the hallway etc etc. when my eyes lit upon a DLAN plug! Bingo! Continue reading →
. . . so I wonder when the UK government will wake up, read the research and do the right thing!? It’s local election time in the UK today and hopes are high that the party who brought the unwanted town wifi system to Glastonbury in Somerset will be voted Continue reading →
