La Médecine psychédélique - Le pouvoir thérapeutique des hallucinogènes

Health, Mind & Body

"Les psychédéliques sont de retour, mais cette fois dans les laboratoires et les hôpitaux, et pour leurs indications thérapeutiques. Dans le monde entier, de nombreux scientifiques s'intéressent à ces substances hallucinogènes pour étudier leur action sur certaines pathologies résistant aux traitements psychiatriques, notamment les dépressions chroniques, la dépendance alcoolique, le stress post-traumatique. Dans le monde entier, mais pas en France où ces substances sont assimilées à des drogues, ce qu'elles ne sont pas. La plupart des soignants ne connaissent pas ces recherches. Parler de LSD, de MDMA (ou ecstasy), d'ayahuasca, d'iboga, ou de champignons à psilocybine vous apparente à un dangereux dealer plus qu'à un médecin. Qui sait que la recherche légale sur l'intérêt médical et psychologique des psychédéliques a repris depuis les années 1990 ? Le but premier de ce livre est de rassembler une information sérieuse, rigoureuse et dépassionnée sur ces substances afin d'informer le grand public comme les professionnels. Il ne s'agit pas de prôner une révolution culturelle. Mon objectif est de changer le point de vue du public, des médias, des hommes politiques et des législateurs, vis-à-vis de ces substances au potentiel thérapeutique extrêmement puissant, qui ont été dévoyées dans leur utilisation, puis stigmatisées et diabolisées, avant d'être pénalisées et totalement interdites. J'ai écrit ce livre pour qu'il soit accessible à tous et j'aimerais que chacun puisse se faire sa propre opinion sur ces substances à la réputation sulfureuse. Il appartient à nous, médecins, et aux usagers du système de santé français, de contribuer au changement des mentalités, afin que la loi permette l'utilisation thérapeutique des psychédéliques. Il s'agit ni plus ni moins que d'introduire dans le Vidal (le livre des médicaments dont se servent médecins et pharmaciens français) une nouvelle classe de médicaments ! Voici ce qui, pour moi, constitue l'essentiel de mon message : Les psychédéliques ne sont pas des " drogues " puisqu'ils n'induisent pas de dépendance et présentent un intérêt thérapeutique ; Les psychédéliques ne sont pas des " stupéfiants " puisqu'ils n'obscurcissent pas la conscience, mais au contraire l'élargissent et l'approfondissent ; leur intérêt pour le développement spirituel est même scientifiquement établi ; Les psychédéliques ne sont pas dangereux en eux-mêmes : tout dépend de leurs conditions d'utilisation. Les conditions en faisant des instruments thérapeutiques et celles les rendant potentiellement dangereux sont désormais bien connues ; Il existe actuellement bien assez de données de recherche et de publications, au niveau international, pour étudier, en France, l'efficacité des médicaments psychédéliques dans des affections psychiatriques résistant aux autres approches, avec de grandes chances d'obtention de gains thérapeutiques importants ; Puisse cet ouvrage dépasser les craintes irrationnelles et lever les tabous, pour redonner leur juste place à ces substances si particulières." Olivier Chambon

Wheat Belly - Summarized for Busy People: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight, and Find Your Path Back to Health

Health, Mind & Body

Dr. William Davis, a prominent cardiologist, describes how removing wheat from the human diet can reverse a variety of health disorders, avoid the storage of abdominal fat, and eventually get rid of the unsightly stomach bulges. Dr. William Davis has witnessed two thousand patients improve their well-being after bidding goodbye to wheat, and he has drawn a distressing conclusion that wheat is the strongest driver of the country's obesity epidemic and that giving it up may just be the key to long-term weight loss and ideal physical condition. Wheat Belly reveals the adverse effects of what is nothing more than a product of genetic customization and the American agroindustry: wheat. Backed by innovations in science and nutrition as well as firsthand testimonies of individuals whose lives have changed for the better upon giving up wheat, William Davis' Wheat Belly offers a provocative take on what is actually making the American masses sicker by the slice.

Fördel ADHD. Den korta versionen

Health, Mind & Body

Känner du någon som är driven, kreativ, orädd, ifrågasättande, envis och initiativrik? Som ofta tänker utanför boxen och verkar kunna skaka av sig nästan vilken motgång som helst? Kanske känner du igen dig själv? Förmodligen blir du lite förvånad när du hör att dessa positiva egenskaper är typiska för personer med ADHD. Vi som så länge har betraktat denna århundradets diagnos som något som bara för med sig problem. I dag tror man att dessa delvis nedärvda personlighetsdrag var nödvändiga för att våra förfäder skulle överleva. Vi vet också att vi alla har mer eller mindre drag av ADHD. Anders Hansen, välkänd psykiatriker och författare till bl a Hjärnstark, lär dig hur du kan vända diagnosen till en fördel, oavsett om det gäller dig själv eller ditt barn, och hur du kan hantera nackdelarna.
