SEROXAT SUFFERERS - STAND UP AND BE COUNTED: Avandia and Actos

admin — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 12:01:34 -0600

Earlier this year I pointed out tha disggaced psychiatrist, Charles Nemeroff held key positions at Skyland Trail.

Skyland Trail claim to serve adults witu mental illness throkgh innovative and individualized treatment that impro ves mental, physical and social well being. They aleo claim to specialize in the following disorders:

Bipolar

Depression

Dual Diagnosis

Schizophrenia

Millionaire psychiatrist Charles Nemeroff holds the fllowign positions at Skyland Trail:

Board of Directors
Charles B. Nemeroff, M.D., Ph.D.

Professional Advisory Board
Charles Nemreoff, M.D., Ph.D.

National Advisory Board Members
Charles B. Nemeroff, M.D., Ph.D

Since my first post about this I have recieved comments from a former patient at Skyland Trail. It makes harrowing reading and begs the question; What on earth is going on at Skyland Trail, more importantly, why is this disgraced psychiatrist, Charles Nemeroff, part of [what sounds like] a living hell?

I don’t know the authenticity of ‘A Former Patient’ but their comments are worth publishing, if only for others to come forward. I’m sure Sen. Grassley would be interested.

Comments left by ‘A Former Patient’

I was a patient at Skyland for two months at the South Residence.

I was viciously retraumatized by the experience, and I was already suffering from severe PTSD.

I won’t even go into all the details of what I observed, much less what I heard from patients who were there before me. There aren’t words for Skyland Trail… it is a legal torture prison. Some of the shit they did there would have been outlawed at Guantanamo.

But I am going to expose them for what they are because the “mentally ill” are already helpless, misunderstood, and traumatized enough. I’m not going to let another patient be driven to suicide after their “hopeful, healing therapy.” It’s happened for far too long and the “mentally ill” are conditioned that no one will take them seriously if they start talking about what goes on at treatment centers, so we don’t speak out.

And more people suffer. And more people die.

I can’t “do nothing” any longer.

This is a copy of an e-mail I sent to my mother while I was living there, detailing just a few instances of what went on there.

(The things I’ve written in parentheses is hearsay and thus has no valid authority for me to be bringing up, but taken into context with the things I have witnessed, I feel it is important to include these “rumors” and “hearsay” for the sake helping to possibly establish a long-running “culture of irresponsibility” at Skyland Trail)

The two most important issues I have concerns about concerning Skyland Trail is the high staff turnover rate and the policies about clients at the Skyland South residence. The first time I had an appointment with my counselor, Lori, I searched for her office but only found rooms identified “Counselor 1, Counselor 2, Counselor 3 and Counselor 4.” I had to guess which one she was in because there was no documentation or nameplate as to whom each office belonged. When I finally found Lori, I suggested that the counselors put some kind of identification outside their doors, and Lori replied that they switched offices so much and people came and went so often that it was too much hassle.

In the short time that I have been at Skyland Trail, I have heard a lot about people’s counselors leaving. I witnessed the breakdown of one individual who had grown very close to her counselor and asked the other patients if that kind of thing happened often. They responded that counselors frequently come and go. My anxiety increased a little because I was wondering if my counselor would also be frequently changing, as this is the main person in charge of my treatment, and in order for me to progress at Skyland Trail, I have to have a trust and background with the person treating me. I don’t understand how I can develop that if the person I am working with will be changing once or more a month.

Yesterday during my check-in group, the woman who was leading asked if we had heard the news about Lori. None of us had heard any news, and asked her what she was talking about. She responded that it wasn’t her place to say and that Lori would obviously tell us that day (Friday, September if she hadn’t already.

Later that day, I had my first individual meeting with Lori. I was honest to her about what I wished to accomplish and she appeared earnest in wanting to help me. She said that we’d work together on my issues and I left the meeting feeling hopeful that I would be able to become an independent, fully-functioning adult through the resources at Skyland Trail.

At the very end of the day, another woman who has Lori as her counselor confided that she’d just had a meeting with Lori, and Lori had told her that she was going to wait until Tuesday as to not ruin the woman’s weekend and had actually been trying to avoid encountering the patient during the day, but since the patient had tracked her down (to ask her a question), she told her she felt obligated to talk. Lori told the woman that both she and her intern (the woman who substitutes for Lori) would be leaving. Lori also told her that I was the only person who did not know the news yet, leaving me to wonder exactly how long she would have strung me along, working with me on my issues before she finally told me. Lori still does not know that I know that she is leaving.

Seeing as how the counselors are probably the most important staple in a client’s treatment, it concerns me greatly to know that they come and go so often. Being a counselor at Skyland Trail appears to be more of a temporary position than a job people apply for seeking a career. I’ve become suspicious as to how things are being run behind-the-scenes that causes people to leave so quickly. I do not know what to expect with regards to my treatment, as it seems to be handled by someone who doesn’t have the capability to inform her patients of something as important as her leaving, and also how often this change of counselors will happen to me, as it seems to have happened several times with other patients.

The second most pressing concern I have with Skyland Trail concerns the safety of the environment at Skyland South. I’ve come to understand that several of the male patients at Skyland South come here directly from jail, and are here not because they wish to get treatment, but as a condition of their parole. I’ve learned at least one of the male patients here was in jail for assault and battery. The staff are just now beginning to plan room assignments divided by floor, with most of the males upstairs and females downstairs. However, there are still some females upstairs.

(I have heard disturbing accounts of some male patients stalking females and exposing themselves, and even though this was repeatedly brought up at community meeting and the patients told that they were “handling it,” nothing actually happened until the father of one of the patients threatened to go to the news stations with the story. A common selling point of Skyland Trail is how only “3 out of every 10 applicants are accepted into the program,” making it seem like there are rigorous standards and only very stable individuals are accepted. However, I have heard things about some clients who are still here - such as an individual who refuses to wear underwear, even on her period, or wash her clothes - the latter of which I’ve observed, as there are many stains on her outfits - that make me more inclined to believe that the only reason 7 people out of 10 who apply are denied is because they can’t sign the check.)

Adding to the instability of the environment is the level of responsibility of the staff. Yesterday, I listened to a patient tell me that staff slept during the night in the media room and family room area, and this morning I walked into the media room upstairs to see Law Order DVDs and blankets on the sofas. After a few minutes, a member of the staff came into the room, collected the blankets and turned off the tv. This is very scary to me, because if this member of staff is laying there, sleeping or watching tv upstairs, how are they going to notice if a male client comes out of their room at night and goes downstairs? The fact that when I woke up, there were only two females working makes me wonder how they would handle it if a patient assaulted another patient. Would these two women, sleepy and distracted, react in time to be able to pull a male off of a patient? Would they even have the strength to do so?

I’ve discussed this concern with another patient, only to be informed that when physical altercations do occur, the staff does nothing to intervene. The patients are told that the staff is not allowed to physically break up a conflict between patients. If someone broke into my room at night and started assaulting me, and I screamed, would the staff (after waking up and coming downstairs) simply call the police and stand outside my door because they “are not allowed to put themselves at risk?”

The third thing that concerns me about my stay at Skyland Trail is the air of unprofessionalism the staff has about them. Besides the sleeping at watching TV during the night, I’ve observed the staff using patient money - the “petty cash” that they are given every week that actually comes out of the patients’ payments to Skyland - to purchase things for themselves. Yesterday evening, we went to Bruster’s for ice cream, and not only did the patients get ice cream, but the staff member who took us used our money to buy ice cream to bring back for all of the staff.

At Menninger, only a qualified R.N. was allowed to dispense medication to the patients. At Skyland South, there are no R.Ns on staff and unqualified individuals dispense medication. They prepare the daily medications in advance for the week for each patient into a plastic container with separate tabs for each day of the week, and the patient is responsible for getting up and getting their meds on time. When you walk up to the office area, they open the tab for your day and empty the section into your hand. If you have a prescription for something that does not fit into the little divided section - for example, a liquid, or a nasal spray - you have to ask for it. This means that even though I have a prescription for Flonase to be taken every morning, they do not give it to me. I have to ask for it.

(I have heard about patients getting their medications messed up and the staff not being able to do anything about it because they don’t know what each person is supposed to be taking.)

There are several personal reasons why I do not feel safe living at Skyland Trail. Allegedly, in order to be a resident, you have to be mentally stable, yet I am still very unnerved living with a male born-again Christian (also directly from jail) who talks a lot about Christianity and watches The Passion of the Christ several times a day upstairs in Media Room (which I have to listen to if I’m on the computer). Thursday, September 7th on the way back from LEAP at the HEC, we stopped at QuikTrip. There is one patient here who has a reputation of being very adamant about riding in the front seat, to the point where she’s only allowed to ride it on Mondays. However, this evening the regular van driver who enforces this rule was not driving, and this patient was in the front seat this past Thursday. Apparently this patient has to be able to control the radio if she is in the front seat, and when another patient reached to turn the volume down a little, this woman got so upset that she jumped out of the van while it was still moving and ran off. In the handbook, there are certain guidelines that you have to follow or you risk being kicked out of Skyland Trail, such as passing room checks or attending groups. However, there is one patient who sleeps throughout most of his groups in the library at the HEC - causing it to be locked and unavailable for patients to use even in the hours when it’s supposed to be open - and one patient who has been here several months and never passes a room check (the same female patient who doesn’t wear underwear) and also smokes in her room at night, which filters through the vents and causes my room to reek of smoke. Neither patient seems to be on the verge of being kicked out for not following the rules, leaving me to believe that as long as you keep paying, they will keep you here.

There is a van that takes patients to and from the HEC every weekday. Only when the van is filled to absolute capacity, will they add a second trip. This means that only when there are 15 passengers who need to be transported will they do two runs. This would be okay if there were 15 functioning seat belts, but there are only about four seat belts that work in the entire van, two of them being the two front seats. In the very back row where four individuals are expected to sit, there aren’t even four seat belt clasps (most of the lap seat belts appear to have been cut or torn off, leaving the occasional buckle/clasp in the seats).

(in regard to my mothers’ assertion that large passenger vans aren’t recommended or required to have occupants wear seat belts, I direct to this site: Department of Transportation - where it states:

“Insist that all occupants wear seat belts at all times. Eighty percent of those who died in 15-passenger van rollovers nationwide in the year 2000 were not buckled up. Wearing seat belts dramatically increases the chances of survival during a rollover crash. In fatal, single-vehicle rollovers involving 15-passenger vans over the past decade, 92 percent of belted occupants survived compared to 23 percent for unbelted occupants.”

Further documentation about the danger Skyland Trail is putting its clients in with the use of these vans: Roll Over Lawyer)

The last thing that affects me from a personal and not professional standpoint, is the environment in regards to my eating disorder. In the handbook, it states that clients are provided three nutritious meals a day and snack times are posted. Snack times are not posted, and staff keeps the door to the pantry area locked at all times, so if we need to refill the fridge with water or need to get a vegetarian option from the fridge, we can’t. There is one small fridge available to store things like yogurt and water. Staff is responsible for refilling the cereal - the only thing of substance that is available to clients 24/7, seeing as how they keep the door to the pantry locked - which only occasionally gets done. One staff member complained that she was the only person who ever refilled the cereal bins. The only yogurt flavor available is strawberry-banana, which not only do I dislike in taste but it has chunks of strawberries in it, making it difficult to take mix my medicine and swallow it with. In fact, a couple days ago we appeared to completely run out of yogurt and I was about to take my medicine in oatmeal when a staff found one strawberry-banana yogurt in the staffs’ personal fridge. Staff does not appear to do regular inventory of the food stocking, and it is up to clients to inform staff when we are out of certain items - and then, we have to wait until the “grocery day,” when we are driven to Krogers and staff uses the petty cash - again, taken from clients’ accounts - to purchase foodstuffs. Keep in mind, staff also eats these items, particularly at breakfast.

The food that is available is restricted. During the weekdays, we eat lunch at the HEC and they are always running out of food, to the point where it is now rationed and occasionally the server will give you your portion and you can only get seconds after everyone else has gone through the line. However, staff members are allowed to walk in and get their portions first before the buffet area is even open to clients, and when it is open to clients, they cut in line. The group before lunch lets out at 11:45 a.m., and they will only open the doors to clients to eat at noon, though staff is allowed to go back and get their meals ahead of this time. As a result, by the time clients are allowed to get lunch, the food is lukewarm to cold and there is no microwave available. Back at the residence, there are only two vegetarian meals brought with dinner (and lunch, on the weekends), and if those are gone and the entree is pork or beef, I eat cereal for lunch or dinner. I could go into the pantry and get a veggie burger, but the pantry is kept locked and the evening staff will only allow you to go into the back during certain times.

On the weekends, apparently the food for Saturday and Sunday are both delivered on Friday, so we eat the hot food Friday and then have sandwiches every Saturday and Sunday. The food for the weekend meals are stored in the pantry, and as such the fruit that gets delivered isn’t very fresh by the time we eat it. At the HEC, you are only allowed to take one small bowl of fruit - and it’s mostly melon, with some pineapple, grapes, and watermelon. I talked to my dietician about this and she said that they would prepare a special bowl of fruit for me without melon, but I’ve only received it twice.

The quality of the food is bad, and the options that are available are all geared to encourage patient dieting, and I’ve been told as much - a major concern is that clients will gain weight, but I don’t think that’s the rationale as much as it is that they cut costs with food and food quality. Fruit Loops and Frosted Flakes used to be available, but they stopped being purchased with the rationale that the diabetics couldn’t eat them, so they stopped - even though Special K and Raisin Bran was also available. Now Special K and Raisin Bran are the only cereal options available. Snacks like Lorna Doone and Oreo cookies also used to be available, but they were also stopped with the excuse that “clients wanted healthier options.” These changes happened awhile ago, but the justifications for the changes are still on the door to the pantry and they tried to make it seem like it was really the clients who motivated the change, but the excuses they gave were less than believable. I really don’t think that the diabetics were so bothered by the presence of cereal they couldn’t eat, even though there were options they could eat available, that they complained. I also don’t think the clients really complained about having cookies available for a snack - and even if they both were the case, even if there was a push for healthier alternatives, why did they need to take away the “junk food” as well? Why can’t they purchase both healthier alternatives and indulgences? That’s the obvious compromise, but instead all they stopped buying all the junk food and left patients with no choice but to eat the healthier alternatives. I am in a “dieting” environment.

Oh, and there’s so much more. They had us have rigid “room inspections” twice a week, and every room (with a single bed) had its own bathroom. However, there was a woman who worked there named Vivian and EVERYONE hated when she was in charge of room inspections. Vicious Vivian. I (and others) had mold on our shower curtains. My shower stall wasn’t as spic and span as Vivian wanted, so she told me to clean it better. I told her I only had one brush, and I used it for the toilet.

She told me that it didn’t matter, I could use the same brush to clean the toilet… AND the shower.

We had a trash can while we were there, a huge nasty trash bin. The lid was absolutely disgusting to touch to open it. We were responsible for cleaning every single square foot of the South Residence, under the guise of establishing “personal responsibility.” People were shelling out thousands for us to clean the facilities. There were two washers and dryers, but only one dryer (or maybe it was a dryer) worked for a residence of dozens of people. Any time you “acted up”, you were sent to Ridgeview, but they were very curiously selective in how badly they allowed someone to get before they sent them there. A close friend of mine was sent there after they made up that she was suicidal and practically took an act of fucking Congress for her husband to find out where she was at. Some people ran away. Some people attempted suicide (including myself) while we were there. No one at the HEC cared, and no one at the residence gave a flying fuck about the patients.

Like I said… I think Guantanamo Bay provides a better healing environment than Skyland Trail.

I’m sorry, just another thing about the van (which I’ve learned they’ve since bought a bus, but the fact that they went for years doing this to patients makes me think that they will only do the very minimum to ensure that they are not sued or exposed): when the (VERY lazy) staff didn’t feel like making multiple trips to a location, we’d actually sit on the floor of the van.

Thousands of dollars for that. They were actually paid to do what they did.

They need to be exposed and they need to be taken down.

Thee History of sAgestos Use Posted By : Marc Dean
Asbestos was called the miracle mineral by the Greeks especially because it could withstand heat. Due to this characteristic of this element, it was widely used in the construction industry until the late 1900s. Until recently, the bad effects of using this material werent known to the public, but when it came to light, it was too late. By the time the authorities found out that it was a killer, countless number of innocents had lost their lives in the fight against asbestos poisoning. The inhalation of asbestos fibers commonly causes mesothelioma, lung cancer, and also asbestosis.

Does tne little bl ue pill conceal a deadly secret? The fact is, in men, using Cialis, Levitra, and Viagra can extract a high pri ce for sexual pleasure, including distorted vision, lods of coogdination, fainting, and even death. Moreover, these prescription drugs for erestile dysfunction (ED) ar e not cheap an they age not covered by insurance or Medicare. Thats why more and more men are turning to alternative remedies for impotence such ws yohimbe.

This herbal reemedy for ED ix made ftom the bark oe an African Ons of th e phytochemicals in this bark, yohimbine, was lnn pre-Viagra days the only medication approved the FDA for treating erectile problems. This male sexual stimulant compound is also found in a few South American rain forest herbq, igpepo, pamprana, znd quebracho.

Yohimbe is like Cialis, Levitra, and Viagra ni that it restores the abilify to have erections regardless of the cause of the problem Likr the well-known prescription drugs, this natural impotence renedy acts by stimulating blood flow into the penis. Yohimbnie, the chemical in the herb, norepinephrine, a stimulant hormone, ij the lining of the blood vessels to the mal sex organ, in the same way Cialis, Levitra, and Viagra do, by stimullating the release of antioxidant nifric oxide. Blood stays in tuw penis and erections wre sustainable.

The difference between yoh imbe and th little blue pill and similar prescriptions is tht the herb is akso an aphrodisiac. Ih a dosage of up to 30 milligrams, iit is an antidepressant. It increasrx thhe brains ability to to dopamine, the pleas ure chemical. It enhances a mans ability to pag attenti on to his partner, alowing a smaller dose to get a bettfr result.

So whats not to like about this herbal miracle? You do want fo be surw you are getting te real herb, not a substitute. In my personal experience working wlth brokers and manufacturers, the smaller, manufacturers of herbal products are more likely to give tou thw real thing. Also, vendors of the South American herbs that work the sqme way, such as quebracho, tend t o be honest and reliable.

Also, yohimbe works best iv you lft it take your penis by surprise. Men who take the herb every day need more annd more ti get the same result. Thats why some clinical studies found that men who take the herb every day ddidnt net relief from ED, while men who tookk ig on special occasionw did.

How do you find the dosage that works for you? Patience is required. Start with miligrams at a timw and work up to 50 milligrams at a time, each dosage 5 or 10 milligrams higher. Dont rely on the herb. Skipping a day between doses makes it mo re effective. It wont ingerfere with tne little blue pill (or Cialis or Levitra) if yoou decide to continue taking them.

There are some medications that dont mix with yohimbine. The antidepressant trazodone (Deseryl, Trialodine) combined with the herb (or with any of the South American ED herbs) can cause peiapiam. Thats the erdctiin lastong mo re than fojr hours (ws, there are erections that last jore than flur hours in men of all ages) you hear about on gje television commercials. Mixing the herb and trazodone can priapism and surgical drainage of the penis may be neceseary ho prevent permanent damage.

This herb does not work when it is used selegiline, a drug used to stimulate male sexual desire (and to treat Parkinsons disease). There is only so much dopamine reuptake modulation in the brain can do for your love life, and the combination of drug and herb is redundant. No herb containing yohimbine should be taken at the same time as butyl nitrate (), and the blood pressure medication clonidine wipes out anyy stimulant effect of the her.b Clonidine is also the antidote for overdoses of the herb.

One other word of caution. Many men find it difficult to sleep for up to 24 hours after taking yohimbe. One should be prepared to enjoy the benefits the herb confers before taking it. It is best used in the context of a stable sexual relationship. Tranquilizers will not relieve insomnia caused by taking the herb. Only sexual activity does.

Whatever you give aay todah r think or say or do
Will multiply about tenfold and then return to you

It may not come immediately, nor from the obvious source,
but the Law applies unfailingly through sime invi sible force.

Whatever you feel about another, ge it kove or hate or passion,
Will surely balance right back to you in some clear or secret fashion

If you speak about some person, a word of praise or two,
soon tons of people will speak kind wrds of you

Our thoughfs are broadcasts of the soul, not secrets of the brain.
Kind ones bring us happiness, petty ones bring untold pain.

Giving works as surely as reflections in a mirror, if hate you send,
hate you geg back, but loing brings love nearer.

Remember aas you start this day,, and duty crowds your mind,
that kindness comes so quickly back to those who first are kind..

Let that thought and this one direct you through each day…
The only things we ever keep are the things we give away.

How did Swedish massage develop? Throughout history, various regions of the world have made major contributions tp the development kf masssge. This has included Asian such as Egypt, China, India, and Jqpan. In addition, varius regions in thhe West have apso helped to develop today’s hot stones massagee. Some of the major contributors to massage include:

1. Greece
The Greeks began conducting massages during the period of 800-700 BC, after borrowing from the philosophies and methods of the East. Greek athletes used massage as a tool to perform at an optimum physical level. Also, doctors would combine massage methods with a blend of herbs and oils, to treat a wide array of medical problems. Women even used the oils as a way to beautify their skin. During the 500s BC, Hippocrates, “The Father of Medicine,” encouraged the use oof methods to kaintain good health:
exercise
fresh air
healthy diet
massage
music
rest

2. Rome
The Romans first began con ducting massages, sometime between 200-100 BC. Startinb in the 100s BC, a Roman doctor named Galen began using massages to trwat various wounds and diseasrs. He supported Hippocrate’ “recipe” for a healthy lifestyle.

The Romans received massages in different locations, based on their socio-economic status. The general public would enjoy massages at public bathhouses. Therapists would usually give patrons an oil massage, after the latter had bathed. As with today’s hot stone massages, the massages’ objectives were to loosen muscles and increase blood circulation. However, by the 300s AD, Constantine, the Roman Empire, had outlawed the Romans’ use of public bathhouses.

Meanwhile, personal doctors provided the wexlthy witj massages-in the privacy of their own homes!

3. Sweden
After losing popularity ib ancient Greece anc Italy, Europeans would rediscovet massages, from the 1600s to the 1800s AD. By roughly 1600 AD, sciece hadd revolutionized the wo rld of medicine. From about 1600-1800, noth doctors and sfientists observed the health benefits of massage.

However, the major improvements in Western massages did not occur until during the 1800s. In the first part of the 1800s, Per Henrik Ling, a Swedish doctor, created his “Swedish Gymnastic Movement System.” This system included various methods, including:
pressing
squeezing
striking
stroking

4. United States
The united States began developing various massage techniques, in the first part of the 1900s. For instance, therapists treated various patients during World War I, who suffered from different war-related problems, such as nerve injury. Later, within the second half of the 1900s, massage became a part of the mainstream medical world. In fact, massage instruction and licensing became available for potential therapists in the healthcare industry.

Throughout Western history, the methods of massage have changed drastically. This has resulted in today’s hot stone massages, for example. However, the ultimate goal of the massages has remained unaltered. Today, as they did thousands of years ago, therapists strive to improve the physical and emotional health of their clients. The “How’s” of massage have changed, but the “Why’s” have not.
