Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wanda Waffle is a single mother of twins. In order to get any help from her ex-husband, she would first have to obtain an advanced degree in crypto zoology. In case you don't know what that is, it is the study of creatures that do not exist, like Big Foot, Sasquatch, the Abominable Snowman, the Yeti, the Chupacabra, the Loch Ness Monster, the Thunder Bird, the Jersey Devil, and Willie Waffle, her fugitive ex-husband who, much like D. B. Cooper, might as well not exist because he couldn't be found. Wanting to make a better life for her children, she moves from the East Village in Manhattan to the small Victorian coastal town named Big Water, where during a period of unemployment in the 1970's she starts to write a book out of sheer desperation. Thirty years later she finds the old manuscript in a trunk. It was written at a time of rampant unemployment, a falling dollar, and high gas prices. It sounded just like today!

Book excerpt: • Examines the success of homeopathic psychiatric asylums in the United States from the 1870s until 1920 • Focuses on New York’s Middletown State Homeopathic Hospital for the Insane, which had a treatment regime with thousands of successful outcomes • Details a homeopathic blueprint for treating mental disorders based on Talcott’s methods, including nutrition and side-effect-free homeopathic prescriptions In the late 1800s and early 1900s, homeopathy was popular across all classes of society. In the United States, there were more than 100 homeopathic hospitals, more than 1,000 homeopathic pharmacies, and 22 homeopathic medical schools. In particular, homeopathic psychiatry flourished from the 1870s to the 1930s, with thousands of documented successful outcomes in treating mental illness. Revealing the astonishing but suppressed history of homeopathic psychiatry, Jerry M. Kantor examines the success of homeopathic psychiatric asylums in America from the post–Civil War era until 1920, including how the madness of Mary Todd Lincoln was effectively treated with homeopathy at a “sane” asylum in Illinois. He focuses in particular on New York’s Middletown State Homeopathic Hospital, where superintendent Selden Talcott oversaw a compassionate and holistic treatment regime that married Thomas Kirkbride’s moral treatment principles to homeopathy. Kantor reveals how homeopathy was pushed aside by pharmaceuticals, which often caused more harm than good, as well as how the current critical attitude toward homeopathy has distorted the historical record. Offering a vision of mental health care for the future predicated on a model that flourished for half a century, Kantor shows how we can improve the care and treatment of the mentally ill and stop the exponential growth of terminal mental disorder diagnoses that are rampant today.

Download or read book The Sane Asylum written by Laurie Hogan Downes and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2004-04-01 with total page 523 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Laurie Downes married an eccentric scientist, she needed more than her normal family upbringing in order to cope with the challenges that life with him provided. She found those coping skills when she surrendered her life to God. This autobiography walks you through the joys and struggles of an ordinary Christian family, which experienced extraordinary grace as it expanded to embrace 95 people. It also describes the inner working of God's grace as he touches individuals and brings them closer to him. Unlike the vast number of people today who suffer from a deep spiritual void, the people intimately involved in this author's world are marching to a cadence heard by those who stop to listen, both to the voice within them and the cries of their brothers and sisters. They know freedom that lets them live beyond the logic of this world, a freedom that takes them anywhere God leads them.
