  1. Re: Drugs

    Already had plans to go to Belgium, and since the issue came up, we are going to include a trip to Amsterdam which is about a 2 hour train ride from Belgium and aside from the other touristy things,...
  2. Re: America's Frightening Alzheimer's Epidemic

    How true. Until we adopt a plant-based diet, we will see the continuance of such disease processes. With the junk food, high sugar, animal fat etc. as you've said.

    I'm curious as to records of...
  3. Re: Drugs

    Agree. treatment should be a first priority. If one is jailed for drugs, one should be put in treatment or receive educational hours (rather like community hours) if one is not heavily involved....
  4. Re: America's Frightening Alzheimer's Epidemic

    A frightening, puzzling 'disease' at best. I've discussed Alzheimer's with others and being the type of people we are, we try and solve the puzzle of Alzheimer's with our own ideas of cures. It is...
  5. Re: Use Controlled Breathing to reduce stress, anxiety and depression

    Try Googling 'Glottis Breathing' and give it a try. I use it near bedtime to try and relax myself as I'm going through the tough Benzodiazepine withdrawal/tapering process.
    Also known as Darth Vader...
  6. Re: Benzo epidemic in the U.S.

    For some ^^^. Any forum or those experiencing withdrawals or survived the journey from Benzos do not recommend even cannabis. Cannabis is great for many things, but brain receptor damage due to use...

  8. Re: Benzo epidemic in the U.S.

    Thank you for your response and interest and yes, even understanding. One great frustration is those who can't grasp what you are going through, or Doctors who seem to think you are just being...
  9. Re: Benzo epidemic in the U.S.

    I understand trying to avoid allopathic medicine..it got me where I find myself today. I've tried amino acids, niacinamide in high doses, read much on cannabis, wild lettuce, wine tapering (joke, but...
  10. Re: Benzo epidemic in the U.S.

    Well due to severe withdrawal symptoms, my primary Doctor tried to reinstate me to 5mgs, I suffered with no lessening of symptoms and finally called and he gave me a 'script for 7.5mg....didn't work....
  11. Re: Benzo epidemic in the U.S.

    Mentioned a "horrific place" to find oneself ...some withdrawal symptoms:

    Panic, blind panic.
    Being in fight or flight mode 24/7
    Headaches. From pressure headaches to severe head 'splitting'...
  12. Re: Benzo epidemic in the U.S.

    39152It is a horrific place to be and made even more frustrating because so many doctors are clueless or as I said before 'assume' you are drug-seeking'. No, we innocently trusted those doctors and...
  13. Benzo epidemic in the U.S.

    I'd like to touch base with folks who are either going through benzodiazepine withdrawal, tapering and the Hell it brings.

    This is an epidemic in the U.S. Doctors prescribe it willy-nilly without...
  14. Re: The Fallacy/Frustration of Section 8 Voucher program. NO VOUCHER? Tax Credit Housing

    Not holding a Section 8 Voucher? When inquiring about housing, especially apartment complexes. Ask if they are "Tax Credit" Housing. You don't need a Voucher, they go by what your income is. Some...
  15. Re: The Fallacy/Frustration of Section 8 Voucher program.

    David Layfield who does work regarding housing and the Section 8 program has a website with multiple questions posed by those seeking housing and his replies. I found when using the website the...
  16. Re: *LEGAL LOOPHOLES*PORTABILITY The Fallacy/Frustration ofthe Section 8 Voucher program.

    I had gone to meet with a manager of a property and we (or I did) happily start the paperwork. The manager and I started talking and she asked about my Voucher and then went "UH OH"...as I was a...
  17. Re: *LEGAL LOOPHOLES*PORTABILITY The Fallacy/Frustration ofthe Section 8 Voucher program.

    Regarding those multiple paged "Affordable Housing Lists" one is handed at either the original Orientation Meeting when you first get your Voucher, or given by Social workers/HUD workers/DSLC office:...
  18. Re: The Fallacy/Frustration of Section 8 Voucher program.

    I agree. I know money can be tight for those of us searching, but you need to have bank statements, character references, rental references, income verification (if that applies to you) paperwork. I...
  19. Re: The Fallacy/Frustration of Section 8 Voucher program.

    I doubt she "talks like that" when dealing with landlords or realtors. We voucher holders approach with hat in hand (and fear in our hearts as we see the time ticking away on our Vouchers) resumes...
  20. Re: The Fallacy/Frustration of Section 8 Voucher program.

    I definitely agree. Get a written reference from your present (or your last, if you've been already booted out) landlord. I had the whole gamut of credit references, character references, bank...
  21. Re: *LEGAL LOOPHOLES*...& The Fallacy/Frustration of the Section 8 Voucher program....

    This happened for me at the last moment also, but I received the information from the Disability Services and Legal Center on Mendocino Ave. in Santa Rosa. If you are in a tight housing spot,...
  22. The Fallacy/Frustration of Section 8 Voucher program.

    We are led to believe if we fit the criteria for even getting on the Section 8 waiting list, if we are patient and manage to survive where we are living, eventually we will be notified and given a...
  23. Re: A bear near Sebastopol

    And so....? Was there proof the black bear killed the 'human'? Grizzlys in their territory will hunt and consume humans...remains may have gleefully been consumed by the black bear, thankful to his...
