"An initiation into shamanic healing means a devaluation of all values, an overturning of the profane world, a peeling away of inveterate handed-down notions of the world, liberation from everything preconceived. For that reason, shamanism is closely connected with suffering. One must suffer the disintegration of one's own system of thought in order to perceive a new world in the higher space."

did anyone watch it? what are your thoughts? there was even an MD from here in texas who had a bad experience with psychiatric drugs because she wasnt properly evaluated.

Here's some interesting info; http://occupypsychiatry.net/
We recognize that the psychiatric industry, allied with Big Pharma have massively misled the public to people's and society's great detriment. In essence, psychiatry has sacrificed the lives of its victims on the alter of corporate profits.
The story the American Psychiatric Association and individual psychiatrists (Psychiatry) have been telling their patients and the public is not true.
There are no proven chemical imbalances or other known brain defects that result in what gets diagnosed as mental illnesses.
Most of the drugs given to treat people diagnosed with mental illness are no better than placebo and many cause tremendous physical problems.
The second generation of so-called "anti-psychotics" (neuroleptics) are effective for few and harmful to all. Contrary to drug company hype, they are not more effective than first generation neuroleptics and far more harmful.
Largely as a result, the disability rate of people diagnosed with serious mental illness has increased 6-fold on a per capita basis since the introduction of the supposed miracle drug Thorazine in 1954.
Largely due to the use of these drugs, the life expectancy of people diagnosed with serious mental illness is 25 years less than the general population.
The stimulants used to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and the so-called antidepressants have dramatically increased the incidence of people diagnosed with bi-polar disorder and converted it from a good prognosis diagnosis to one that is quite poor.
The ubiquitous use of psychiatric drugs is at least halving the percentage of people who recover after being diagnosed with a serious mental illness; it appears about 80% of the people presenting with an initial psychosis can recover if they are not given and maintained on psychiatric drugs.
The American Psychiatric Association and individual psychiatrists are either fooled or complicit to the extent they do not publicly acknowledge and act onthese facts.

This warms my heart! I think Alto is so courageous to stand up like this for the good of people and mankind. The danger is real. It is true, doctors are putting people on these medicines that should not be on them and it is causing long term physical and mental damage and suffering.
Thank you Alto for being so brave and getting get the word out to people who are not aware.
