Sickness.net - Sickness of the Mind
Manic Depressive disorder is not an invention of a modern society. Vincent Willem van Gogh had suffered periodic anxiety or panic attacks that go along with a depressive illness. He finally took his life prematurely by a gun shot. Today, his illness most probably could be maintained within a functional framework using modern medication like Zyprexa, Depakote and a slew of many other including a simple salt of Lithium. However, these medications interfere with a free spirit creativity and compliance taking them is very low in such individuals.

Common Types of Sickness:
Toxic Reaction
When Our Baby Boomers live longer it' often with a help of various medications. However the number of such mediction could commonly reach 7-10 different active ingredients. That's so important to check drug interactions between them. Use AARP site DRUG INTERACTIONS CHECKER You may also run a test on your symptoms checker.
Black Mold Poisoning
Because black mold symptoms can be so varied and be so personal, that you can have black mold poisoning with slight symptoms, some symptoms or every symptom on the list.If you have gone to doctors and they could not find anything wrong with you. But you still feel tired and some days completely sick then check thoroughly your hose preferably using professional help. If you are diagnosed with this illness then you are "lucky" because it could be something much more serious a rare virus infection. But in case of a Black Mold the treatment is available readily and the success rate is high. You will feel "a million bucks" after the correct treatment!
Morning sickness is tricky because it can disguise itself as a symptom of another more serious condition including pregnancy, prescription drugs taken overnight that produce side effects like certain sleeping pills. However, a sickness may be produced by a set of different biochemical triggers or by extreme stress or fear that last a significant period of time.
Solution 1: No shortcuts and guessing. It requires an effort to do some work! Yes! Work! But don't worry it's for a short time and all you need is a pen and a notebook! The patient has to take daily notes capturing ALL pills like Vitamins in a complex formula (not regulated by FDA) or any other OTC remedies including Chinese Traditional Medications. Health Food stores push "organic" produce that has almost everywhere stampted also "Natural". accordingly to the Consumer Report is only marginally beneficial but usually has a higher price. Many states do not adhere to to the strict Organic requirements and make them up accordingly to the local agricultural conditions.
Solution 2: Learn to read the labels on anything you consume! You will need a tool because it's a serious job and may save your life or add many years to it. The tool is a good magnifying glass that you can buy in any drugstore. I simply use a second set of reading glasses for reading super tiny text of Disclosures and the Contents.
A drug withdrawal may induce a terrible sickness of a mind and body pushing into a drug seeking behavior that is actually an obsession to recapture the previous experience or if one is ready to 'kick it' out by making a firm decision and acceptance of a "cold turkey" withdrawal syndromes. Independently of a drug of choice the sickness of a withdrawal could be lethal if not supervised. The most dangerous results are obtained from a "cocktail" - having a combination of different drugs interacting with each other. Usually, the alcohol is ready available and affordable to provide a main ingredient in a such cocktail increasing a toxicity beyond the thresholds. Today, some in medical community are against a "cold turkey" approach because it takes a such toll on the body and soul forcing unnecessary suffering.
Many doctors have increasing respect to a mental patient when the majority of our modern society call such patient a "mad" or "insane" attaching a negative stigma and wishing to "force" drug administration to "cure" them. Basically, it's a phobia that is rooted in our helplessness to cure it and have a mad on the loose. The society has a deeply rooted fear of insane or mad being on the loose in their neighborhoods. Mental Sickness may manifest itself in many areas that at first look completely unrelated including the thought process and some common illnesses like diabetes, depression or convulsions under over whelming anxiety, persistent insomnia and extreme stress.

Radiation Exposure Sickness
A radioactive isotope of strontium has been detected in American milk for the first time since Japan’s nuclear disaster—in a sample from Hilo, Hawaii—the Environmental Protection Agency revealed yesterday.
“We have completed our first strontium milk sample analysis and found trace amounts of strontium-89 in a milk sample from Hilo, Hawaii,” EPA said in a statement emailed to me yesterday afternoon. “The level was approximately 27,000 times below the Derived Intervention Level set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.”
In fact, the FDA has no Derived Intervention Level for Strontium-89. See FDA statement at the bottom of this post.
EPA posted the test result at epa.gov in a PDF format.
The two man-made isotopes of strontium—Sr-89 and Sr-90—are among the most dangerous products of nuclear fission to human and animal health. Both are “bone-seekers,” chemically similar to calcium, that collect in bone and marrow, where they are known to cause cancer. They are particularly dangerous to the growing bones of fetuses and children.
EPA found 1.4 picoCuries per liter of strontium-89 in a milk sample collected in Hilo on April 4.
The FDA’s Derived Intervention Level—the standard observed for food—for a related isotope, Strontium-90, is 4,400 pCi/L. The EPA’s Maximum Contamination Level for Sr-89 in drinking water is 20 pCi/L. (For more on the difference between EPA and FDA standards, as well as more on the health implications of ingesting radionuclide, see “Why Does FDA Tolerate More Radiation Than EPA?“)
The half-life of Sr-89 is 50.5 days, and Sr-89 is sometimes used as a cancer pain treatment under the commercial name Metastron, because it collects in and destroys the fast-growing cells of bone cancer in the same way it can injure healthy bone. EPA considers Sr-90, meanwhile, “the most important radioactive isotope in the environment” because of its health impacts and a longer half-life of 29 years.
EPA has found no strontium-90 in its testing, according to the statement, and it has found neither of the strontium fission products in drinking water.
Where’s the strontium? has been a question pressed by nuclear watchdogs—including one of the participants in this forum, liberationangel—since the Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear disaster. And not only where, but why aren’t the hazardous man-made isotopes of strontium included in the EPA’s open data system?
EPA does not list strontium in that system, because it does not routinely test for strontium, even during its increased testing since the Fukushima disaster.
Tests for strontium are triggered by the presence of cesium isotopes, which have been found in milk from Hilo, Montepelier VT, and Oakland and in precipitation from Boise, Richmond CA, Salt Lake City and a few other cities.
The Strontium-89 was found in April 4 Hilo samples previously found to contain cesium-134 and cesium-137, and the test results were released only yesterday because they take longer to analyze, according to EPA’s statement:
In response to the Japanese nuclear power plant release, if we identify radioactive cesium… those samples will be analyzed for strontium. Testing for strontium is a complex process that takes time.”
More cesium was found in a Hilo milk sample on April 13. All of EPA’s initial milk testing is available here.
Some bloggers and activists have accused EPA of finding and then concealing plutonium and strontium in U.S. test results. The accusations seem to stem from searches of EPA’s more complicated Envirofacts database, which EPA made available to the public only recently in response to the Fukushima disaster. The database had previously been restricted to scientists.
The quantities of strontium and plutonium listed in that database are so minute—for example, 0.0008 picoCuries per cubic meter, and, in another case, a negative number: -0.00013 pCi/m3—and they are so dwarfed by the margin of error, that EPA categorizes them as “non-detectable,” according to the EPA statement sent to me yesterday:
It is important to note that Envirofacts contains all data points, including negative numbers and numbers we consider to be non-detects, because having all the results is important for technical experts to gain a complete understanding of the situation. A data point is considered a non-detect when it is less than or equal to twice the combined standard uncertainty (which is listed on the Envirofacts tables).
Thus, numbers that appear in EnviroFacts as minute or negative quantities of strontium and plutonium may appear as “non-detectable” in public data releases. EPA reported at the end of its business day yesterday there have been no detectable strontium or plutonium readings other than the Hilo result.
Hawaiian environmental health officials have assured Hawaiians there is no risk from the radionuclides detected in milk so far:
Lynn Nakasone, administrator of the Health Department’s Environmental Health Services Division, said the strontium is not a danger.
“It’s of no health consequence,” Nakasone said. “I realize it is a different reading and new data, but I guess from our point of view, it’s not a health risk.”

But some physicians, such as University of Wisconsin Professor Jeffrey Patterson, have insisted there is no safe level of exposure to radionuclide:
There is no safe level of radionuclide exposure, whether from food, water or other sources. Period…. Exposure to radionuclide, such as iodine-131 and cesium-137, increases the incidence of cancer. For this reason, every effort must be taken to minimize the radionuclide content in food and water.”

A hat tip to liberationangel and mothra for prompting and informing this post.
[Statement from FDA on Derived Intervention Level for Sr-89: "FDA does not have a published DIL for Sr-89. That is because the 1998 FDA guidance, which the 2003 FDA Compliance Policy Guide is based on, focused on those radionuclides that would be expected to be released in significant quantities as a result of different types of accidents, including nuclear power plant accidents. That does not mean that Sr-89 or any other radionuclide is "unregulated." If FDA were to find a radionuclide present in food in quantities that might render it injurious to health, FDA would take appropriate action to protect the health and safety of consumers."]
