That nutritional cleansing and fat-reducing program we talked about

Sun, 29 Jun 2008 23:47:39 GMT

Hey Abigale, below are the links to that nutritional cleansing and fat-reduction program I told you about.

I started doing it a month before we took a long-planned vacation to Maui. Knowing there was going to be a lot of beach – and therefore bikini – time there, I wanted to drop 15 pounds. That’s hard to do in a few weeks without some extreme diet that will just bounce right back onto you. I had heard about this program and gave it a try, and I not only lost that weight (and it didn’t come back), but I have much more energy and feel GREAT!

What it does is remove impurities stored in your body fat. As toxins are released, so is unnecessary fat. There is much more information on the links, and they explain it well. So click the first link and then the second.

Click here first for my friend’s 3-minute video:

If you (or anyone else) want more info, just email me at mycleanbody@cox.net or call me at 602-330-2905. My website is www.mycleanbody.com.

Thanks – I’ll talk to you soon.

CHANGES IN PSYCHIATRIC TREATMENT OF MENTAL ILLNESS

Fortunately advances in research-based knowledge about serious mental illness have resulted in improved and more effective treatment approaches. Research on the brain has provided better knowledge of the symptoms and characteristics of psychiatric disorders, allowing for more accurate diagnosis and new psychotropic drugs provide better symptom control without the devastating side effects of provious medications. With better control of symptoms, people with serious mental illness are abale to participate more fully and direct their own recovery.

According to the American Psychiatric Association, psychiatric treatment should include a full mental and physical health evaluation and an individualized "tailored" treatment plan, which may include psychotherapy (talk therapy), medication, or other modalities. Psychiatrists should help patients understand their illness and understand what they can do to resolve life problems that contribute to their illness. Today's model of psychiatric care acknowledges the importance of community and family as part of the treatment team. *

Mental health care providers are being encouraged to take a "hands'on" approach in meeting their patient's needs. Once such approach advocated in the Health and Social Work Journal, is the use of an "empowerment" based psychiatric rehabilitation approach and vocational programs, which are designed to promote recovery psychiatric rehabilitation, help people with serious mental illness develop meaningful relationships, participate in employment or vocational interests, and live successfully in their commuities. **

HISTORY: ARNOLD vs. SARN

In 1981, a class action suit was filed in Superior Court by the Maricopa County Public Fiduciary on behalf of a class of mentally ill and adults against the state of Arizona and Maricopa County (Arnold vs. Sarn). After several years of deliberation, the case was settled in 1989. The Arizona Supreme Court affirmed the individual right of every chronically mentally ill person to adequate treatment in the community. The state and county were ordered to establish a comprehensive system of community-based mentl health care.

"The Arizona Supreme Court has ruled that Arizona has failed to meet its moral and legal obligations to our state's chronically mentally ill population. Unanimously, the Court hel that persons with chronically mental illness have a legal right to mental health treatment in the community and that the State of Arizona has failed to provide that treatment....The Supreme Court has stated unequivocally that 'Arizona has imprisoned its (chronically mentally ill) in the shadows of public apathy'. The court has put the defendants,m and the state to the test: Arizona must finally put a decent and effective mental health system in place." (Plaintiff's "Plan for Implementation and Monitoring of Arnold vs. Sarn").

In 1989, new state funding was appropriated to expand the system of care and to fund the development of new services.
