Autism + Amphetamines = Supergenius?
I have Aspergers Syndrome (an autistic spectrum disorder) and I remained undiagnosed until about 6 months ago,at age 33. I always knew I was different from everyone else and this bothered me intensely. I experimented with many different types of drugs (some illegal) throughout my life, in an attempt to appear normal. Right now, I am taking a cocktail of prescribed anti-anxiety meds, that are effective, to some extent. But, throughout my own testing, I have found that amphetamines, both legal and illegal, produced the most normal-like thought processes, over any other drugs I've tested. I attribute these results to the fact that, my thought processes can be best explained as; multipal TV sets, playing multipal programs, all running at fast forward, simultaneously. I am able to filter and pickup alot of the information but,I have difficulty maintaining concentration. The amphetamines allow me to pick up alot more of the information and, at the right dose, I can enter a super genius state,almost without equal. I've read that Albert Einstein had Aspergers', and I suspect that he used cocaine etc... to supplement his genius. In this day and age, he might not have become, the super-genius we all know. Remember, back then drugs were still legal and I'm 99% sure, he used them to his advantage. I just wish I could convince my psychiatrist to let me try some different types of meds. I think there is progress to be made, of which could help thousands with Aspergers', focus and prosper. Let me know your thoughts. Thank you and Godspeed!(pun intended) I have Aspergers Syndrome (an autistic spectrum disorder) and I remained undiagnosed until about 6 months ago,at age 33. I always knew... more

This bit of information saved my life! Use it to help save others!
hi, I am 33 years old and have never had a date. I am a good looking guy, with genius IQ, and I have been approached by many women but, had to refuse,due to reasons that I could not previously explain. When I was younger (10-17), my parents told me that I was just a shy,eccentric child, and I would grow out of it. But,as I got older, the problems got worse. Social pressures dictated that, I was to find love and marry,like everone else. This was impossible because, I had severe panic attacks and anxiety, in any type of social situation. The biggest problem was that, I couldn't give others a good explanation of my problem. I resorted to, severe alcohol and drug abuse throughout my 20's, to cover up my problems and perhaps, to make my self seem less attractive to others. After being in jail 5 or 6 times, I realized, drugs were only a temporary fix, and I was always led to the same conclusion, that suicide was the only real solution. I new I was different from everone else but still couldn't explain why. Then, about 6 months ago I came across the description of a psychiatric condition called "Asperger Syndrome", which is a mild form of autism. (please, click on the link provided, then click on 'What is AS', located to the left, and read the description). This description provided almost every answer I have been seeking my whole life,and it was life-changing. I still have some panic attacks and anxiety but ,they are both diminishing over time, and someday, I may be able to join the rest of society and, perhaps find love. I think "Asperger Syndrome" needs to be brought to attention and I know there are thousands of others who are undiagnosed, like I was. They say that 1 in 150 people are born with some type of autism. This could prevent many suicides and give hope to millions world-wide. Please contact me if you want to hear more. My story is quite interesting and would be very appreciated by others like me. Also, I would like to meet others, perhaps significant others, like me but, I don't know how or where to do this. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, mr.lonely-for-life, Jason W. hi, I am 33 years old and have never had a date. I am a good looking guy, with genius IQ, and I have been approached by many women but... more

James Randi explains homeopathy
comment by harrypalms69
Well, science says placebo does work - so yeah, go ahead and pray or use homeopathic remedies (I refuse to call it medicine since it's not) - it will help. Praying and homeopathy is in the realm of magical thinking and belongs in the same box as unicorns, the flying spaghetti monster, Santa Claus, Zeus and the holy ghost. comment by harrypalms69 ... more -
Before Vermont Prison Cuts Budget They Should Read Harvard Study re Nutrition/Viol...
Vermont Department of Corrections considering options to save $4M should read this common sense Harvard Oxford Study on nutritional deficiencies in prisoners and drug addicts that :
SYMPTOMS OF ANGER FELL AS MUCH AS 50% WITH NUTRITIONAL CORRECTION
VIOLENCE FELL AS MUCH AS 30%
There is virtually no cost to this as people have to eat.
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/16/magazine/16wwln_ideal...
The article says that Vermont is already a national leader in finding alternative ways to deal with offenders and I hope that someone there to lead in this valiant mission.

Consider, for example, a study conducted by researchers in Finland. They tested prisoners convicted of violent crimes and found that they had lower levels of omega-3 fatty acids than ordinary, healthy subjects. Why? Omega-3's foster the growth of neurons in the brain's frontal cortex, the bit of gray matter that controls impulsive behavior. Having enough of these fatty acids may keep violent impulses in check. Violent criminals may not be the only ones who would benefit from more fatty acids in their diet. In a recent double-blind trial, when omega-3's were given to people with a history of substance abuse, the symptoms of "anger" fell by 50 percent. ______________________________________________________________

MONTPELIER ? The Vermont Department of Corrections is considering closing one of the state's prisons and releasing some nonviolent offenders from state supervision as part of an effort to pare $4 million from next year's budget.
Those were two of the possibilities included in a message Corrections Commissioner Rob Hofmann sent to his staff Tuesday as he was delivering to state lawmakers a 150-page proposal to reduce the rate of growth of the Corrections budget.
